[ It's been a long winter. Mao couldn't be happier for Anya, he really couldn't, but going three months with only seeing his best friend on television or the internet, only hearing from her in quick text chats or the one wonderful but all too short Skype chat on New Year's, well. It's taking its toll. He's done his best to keep busy and that hasn't been hard--with Anya away, gigs for other idols have been opening up and much to his surprise, he's getting booked--but it's also things he wishes he could share with her. She'd appreciate his first experiences with makeup more than anybody else could, after all, and while her reaction to the pictures he sends of him in his costumes is great and filled with exclamation points, it's not the same as her being there in person to clap then fuss over the fit of a vest.
It's more then even that, though. He wants her to be here to appreciate the twenty-five days of holiday flavors at the cupcake shop, to play with him in the snow, to see her face get pink from the cold or from him telling her the lights in the trees have nothing on her eyes.
It's when he has that last thought that Mao realizes just how much he misses Anya. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, and he's learning it the hard way. He has no idea what to do about it, though, so that's why when Anya finally lands he meets her at the airport, hugs her and hugs her and hugs her, and says nothing, not even as he drives her home. When they get there, however, there are bouquets waiting near the door and in the kitchen and in her room. That's what she gets for giving him her key to cat-sit. ]
