( Strange. Haven't people been talking about getting these? You'll find a delivery from Retrospec at your home, or at some place you often frequent. Thank you, says Retrospec. For all you do.
Inside the box there is a single feline plushie. Tied around its neck is a bit of ribbon with a note: ♥ From Yuri's Angels. There is nothing else. The box from Retrospec, the plush kitty, and that note.
Congratulations. You are the lucky mistaken recipient of a Yuri's Angel Cat Plush. What a wonderful day this must be!!! )
[Sorey's happy to get a package, though he's very confused at... everything. 'Yuri's Angels.' Definitely not for him, then. Also, the cat plushie? Totally cute, but more Mikleo's style. Everyone knows Sorey is a dog person.
He gently repacks everything the way he found it-- with the addition of some Japanese sweets and anpan-- and goes to send a text.]
( shower him in gifts he'll be extremely awkward about it and he's pretty sure he only merited something on the day he turned 17 so uh
this is all perplexing. )
To my apartment? I mean, you can, but I haven't ordered anything, so how could something get delivered to you on accident? How do you even know it's mine if my name wasn't on the outside?
[He loves spoiling his friends when he can so yeah, just add the sweets and stuff to whatever he got Yuri for his birthday. Probably something like leopard stationery because he's lame.]
the note says it's from Yuri's angels. with a heart. though I think it's from Retrospec too. maybe you have a secret admirer who delivered something through them?
he reads this and frowns, tapping on his phone to bring his groupchat with Anya and Dave back to the front. )
Wait, seriously? Because Dave and Anya got something like that too. Also from Retrospec. I don't think they do deliveries, do they? Not for people on request. If they've started that it's got to be someone on the Retrospec team and that's also creepy.
no I made it all up just so I could give you more Japanese candy.
[He can be sarcastic too sometimes.]
this is really weird though. like REALLY weird. I've never heard anything about deliveries and I got picked the same time you did.
also. if it's from Retrospec why did your stuff end up at the wrong address multiple times? they know our full names. I'm sure they know where we live too.
[... Wow, he's taking this a lot harder than Sorey expected.]
friendship doesn't always happen at one time. you meet someone a few times and you get along great and you like them fine. you're friends! it really is that easy.
( not taking it hard, Sorey, just genuinely perplexed )
yeah but you could say that about the people you ride the bus with daily look take offense if you want but friend should mean something tossing it around casually just makes friend another wasted word how many people you just happen to "like them fine" are going to be helping you move for example, that's what i want to know moving sucks unpaid moving sucks worse
first off..... I've totally made friends on the bus before but being friends with someone implies you go to their house sometimes or you go out places. and I go to your house all the time! technically it's for tutoring but whatever. also I wouldn't ask you to help me move. you're still in high school, you should only have to move your own stuff that's an unfortunate part of going to college that you definitely don't need yet.
for what it's worth though I paid Prompto in food. Mikleo's a culinary arts minor so he makes the best stuff. he was happy to help us move
( the problem here is he just. has to step back for a moment, not sure how to respond. because his ideas are probably a bit screwy, and he knows that now, when Dave and Anya had to headbutt their way into his life. it's not that he dislikes people on principle. he just expects they'll let him down.
so he doesn't know how to answer Sorey right away. it takes a good fifteen minutes before he can send anything back. it doesn't help that the only other person to tell him he's been doing okay on his own is his grandfather. it leaves his chest feeling tight, and he hates it. hates it. )
[The pause worries him, though he's not sitting there terrified he said the wrong thing. He wonders if maybe he came on too strong. He knows he can be a bit... much. Sorey, for all his sunniness, can be a little too honest at times.
But Yuri doesn't text him back screaming that Sorey can't ever be his friend, and his number isn't blocked, so they're off to a good start here.]
That's all?
[If he sounds a little amused, it's because he is. He's certainly smiling at his phone right now. Some people might think Yuri is prickly and rough but Sorey has always seen him as a well-meaning kid with an enviable amount of ambition. He's going places, Sorey is sure of that.]
well, you have my number. If you want me to be there I can. anytime, anywhere. even on a school night.
sometimes the only thing that can make someone feel better is a basket of late night tacos. there's nothing wrong with that
( Yuri's secret: he's a relatively simple person. Also simple in his focus. He wants to be the best possible dancer, recognised for his work, with a regular good paying position on a well regarded group. But he's closed off and he's defensive, and it's only because the irrepressible likes of Dave and Anya have pushed through that he has any particular desire to recognise that maybe, being closed off isn't the only way.
Though he still wrinkles his nose. "That's all" is still a hell of a lot in his eyes. Only... what's with this taco basket thing? )

i don't know anything about the rest. nothing's come to me. i don't know that they're for me, just trolling everyone & me?
Unrelated but Nastenka is dragging me out stargazing and i'm in charge of food so i'll be making pirozhki soon, you still wanted that?
no subject
I guess that's possible... but the stuffed animal was pretty cute. I don't think it's harmful at all.
YES PLEASE(*°▽°*)
LMFAO IM SO SORRY
we're friends?!
( that just
is processing
SHIT HOW
WHAT
HE THOUGHT THEY HAD FRIENDLY BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS???
yuri is an idiot about these things, he'll remember food in a moment this is more ??? right now )
LMAO
yep! I'm not THAT much older than you after all.
WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP
age doesn't have anything to do with it?!
when did this happen!?
no subject
friendship doesn't always happen at one time. you meet someone a few times and you get along great and you like them fine. you're friends! it really is that easy.

look take offense if you want but friend should mean something
tossing it around casually just makes friend another wasted word
how many people you just happen to "like them fine" are going to be helping you move for example, that's what i want to know
moving sucks
unpaid moving sucks worse

so that points not relevant
i... guess i'll keep that in mind if the rent jacks up here once my lease comes up for renewal
no subject
[There's a bit of a pause.]
what would make someone your friend? because I really do want to try.
no subject
so he doesn't know how to answer Sorey right away. it takes a good fifteen minutes before he can send anything back. it doesn't help that the only other person to tell him he's been doing okay on his own is his grandfather. it leaves his chest feeling tight, and he hates it. hates it. )
idk. be there, ig. even when its inconvenient.

late night taco baskets. for real
no subject
it's the ultimate guilty pleasure. fast, delicious, available after a study session and you'll only spend like ten dollars at the most
no subject
doesn't sound so bad. though are they really tacos or just what americans call tacos
ive been informed theres a difference
no subject
also no one's gonna sit there and make you a proper enchilada at two in the morning unless they really, really like you
but if you want real tacos, Mikleo's got a great recipe. you could come over next time we have them.
no subject
anyway i
guess
