WHO: Yuuri (

starfruitfrog)
WHERE: In their apartment
WHEN: In the evening
WHAT: Yuuri sees a square on her bingo card as a hint she needs to actually talk about this creepy memory she got.
WARNINGS: ...nothing?

Honestly, Yuuri hadn't known what to feel about that one memory she got back. It just felt...wrong.

She hadn't meant to talk about it at all, content to just forget but then the bingo card said--

Maybe it was a sign.

It wasn't like the memory was even all that awful, anyway. She's setting the table (since it was her turn to make dinner) as she waits for her uncle to come home.

Yuki had expected her to be there, especially because today was a late day for him and that meant she'd have to make dinner. Work was as usual, really...every day went on as usual (except when new models were released).

He hadn't remembered a whole lot besides food fighting him (and sometimes winning).

Rolling his shoulders, he closes the door behind him and toes off his shoes.

"I'm home!"

"Welcome home!" She places the last set of chopsticks down before she leaves the kitchen, still wearing an apron. "How was work today, uncle?"

"Just like usual, really. It was fine. I got one of those cards. How about you, Yuuri-chan? How was your day?"

It really is nice though, that he's coming home to family every day. If anything it stopped him from eating out all the time.

"I got one of those cards too." And then she ran around the city dressed in a biker helmet and a cape claiming to be the Dazzling Masked Angel.

She's obviously not going to tell him that though.

"It was...fun. I went outside to enjoy the weather and tried to fill some of the bingo squares."

"Did you remember to wear a hat? And sunscreen?"

Sato, are you a mom...

"Are you close to getting bingo yet?

Maybe some people wouldn't like being nagged like this, but it was...nice. It made Yuuri really happy to hear it. So she smiled and nodded.

"I did."

He's the best mom.

"I've almost gotten one! I'm only missing one more square...and then two more for the second and third one." She was working really hard to get everything!

"What about you?"

"Good."

He doesn't reach out and pat her head even though he's tempted to. She did good, okay!

"I'm still missing a few, too. What are you missing? Maybe I can help?"

She'd love it if someone patted her head.

"Um. I still need to go carolling...but singing Never Gonna Give You Up? I was too embarrassed to go by myself..."

"We..."

He regrets this already, but:

"We could go carolling together?

She's a bit surprised...because honestly, it's so embarrassing. She wouldn't have balemed him for not saying 'yes'.

"Are you sure...? You don't--you don't have to if it's too much?"

Well, when she says it like that...

"Of course I'm sure."

He isn't. Not at all.

"How bad could it be? I think if we go together it won't be that bad?"

She smiles a bit shyly. "Thank you. I think...it'll be easier if we're doing it together."

Maybe it'll even be a bit fun?

"Is there any square I can help with on yours?"

"How about...how about we go and watch fireflies?"

Never mind that he has only the faintest idea of where to find fireflies in this city.

"That sounds fun! Maybe we can go after dinner?"

Which is probably getting cold as they're talking...oops.

"Oh. Yeah, we can do that!"

He should put his stuff away and get changed, too, now that he thinks about it.

"Give me a second, okay? I'll be right out."

"Take your time!"

It's only after he leaves that she remembers that she had meant to talk to him about the hallucenomemory she had gotten...well. The moment has passed now. Maybe she'll talk about it another day.

After they finished dinner, they got ready to go outside and then they were heading for the park, which will allow them to carol and then also catch fireflies. Like getting two birds with one stone!

When they get there though, she stops. "Um. Sh-should we just sing here...?"

It seems as good a place as any, as far as Sato is concerned. It's pretty late though, so the traffic has died down quite a bit by now. At least that should help any nervousness Yuri feels about singing in public.

"I think here is okay. Do you know the lyrics?"

Because he doesn't and he has his phone out right now, searching it up and hoping that the internet will help him.

"I looked it up earlier..."

She's digging her phone out of her pocket and unlocking it.

"I don't know it very well though.]

"Me neither."

Is this actually going to work? He's going to try his best anyway.

"Okay."

Sato coughs into his hand, scrolling through his search results until he finds one that works, "You ready?"

It's easier because very few people are around but it's so much easier when her uncle was there with her.

(And apparently has a bout as much of an idea of how to make this work as she does.)

She smiles nervously. "As ready as I'll ever be. Should we start on a count of three?"

She doesn't look sure, at all and that in turn has Sato swallowing down his own nervousness. Maybe they'd be mediocre enough that people would just walk right on by?

"One, two..."

She can make the final count since it's as much her decision as it is his.

"...three."

She takes a deep breath and starts from the chorus...because she honestly couldn't remember the rest. Maybe they should have made more thorough plans first...hopefully they were on the same page.

They almost weren't on the same page because he'd assumed that they would start from the very beginning. Thank goodness he manages to rally and get back in sync with her. Ignore that the first few words were different.
