#lyosha.

regretful monotony follows her, trailing at the edge of her shadow of what should have been unquestionable ease. nadya cannot remember the last time lyosha’s space would have felt so alien, dusky greens roving around the interior.   ❛   you picked this street ?  ❜   it had been the thing on the tip of her tongue on her walk with zhenya that first week. lyosha was further away. by himself. anya hadn’t said a thing about it, even after they’d seen where anneli was. it didn’t sit well with her.  /.  @rcmvncv​

❛  what ended up happening ?  ❜   voice is soft, and although her gaze is level, it holds blunt scrutiny.   ❛  we saw you two talking, i left soon after.  ❜     /.  @rcmvncv​

he is her first visit. unease gnaws at her insides, as she approaches, head canted just barely. is that guilt she feels — that coagulates into something tight and heavy ? her return is as abrupt and unannounced as her departure. still, lips spread softly, blooming like she always has for his eyes.   ❛  happy new year.  ❜  she offers, holding up a brown paper bag.  ❛  pastries from home.  ❜   /.  @rcmvncv​

❛   you’re being careful about what you drink... right ?  ❜   it is an unnecessary question, but saying the words exorcise some of the simmering paranoia that had grown ever since she’d noticed the proximity of his seat to the belarusian duke’s.   /.  @rcmvncv​

❛   i spoke to anneli,   ❜  she holds a finger up, before he can blow a gasket, moving soundlessly around him so hands can grip his shoulders and her chin can rest on the sturdier one after a swooping kiss to his cheek, like old times.   ❛    not about anything important, although, i suppose this is a little important. i figured since things are finally happening. it might be nice to... mark the occasion, inject some life into it ?  ❜   because it has been, truly lifeless so far.  ❛  quietly. i offered for it to be just the two of you i could plan something ?  do you want... everyone ?  ❜   /.  @rcmvncv​

she is stretched out, feet up, one knee over the other, as long and lean as ever, relaxed as if her perch is one she is home to, and has been waiting on, for a long time. the way her lip curves when she senses him is wry.  ❛  if you’re not a sushi expert by now, and don’t have a list of restaurants to take me to. i’d say this program has made you even more boring than i have been telling vasya.  ❜   /.  @rcmvncv​

thin fingers gently adjust the badges at his front, careful not to jar him too much before patting them affectionately.  ❛  i always wondered how you managed to look so dignified with these. are they heavy ?   ❜   //.  @rcmvncv​
