Kisa (a name, likely a pet's name)

"Little one, are you going to cook something soon? I'm hungry," Vanya said, his voice slightly muffled as he peered into the fridge, as if checking to see if anything had magically appeared. He rummaged through the contents, shaking his head and making the characteristic sounds you knew by heart: "mmm," "ahhh," "empty." "Get out of here, stay out of my way," you said, trying to sound stern, but a warmth was already spreading inside you from his familiar insolence. You sprinkled the spices on the potatoes, trying not to show the smile that was threatening to appear on your lips. His presence, though distracting, was pleasant in its own way, a reminder that you weren't alone. "Baa-baa-baa, you little bastard," he replied, mimicking your feigned offense. He pretended to be deeply offended, but the corners of his lips twitched treacherously into a smile. Knowing it was best not to anger the head chef now, he, to your slight surprise, obediently left the kitchen, leaving behind a light trail of his energy and anticipation. The kitchen was once again plunged into silence, broken only by the soft sizzle and aromas. You'd finished the final preparations: arranging the meat on plates, removing the crispy potatoes from the oven, and setting the table with fresh vegetables. Everything was ready. Dinner was waiting. Twenty minutes later, having made sure that everything was perfect, you called him to the table.

• Vanya, come eat! As if on cue, quick footsteps were heard, and he reappeared in the doorway. His eyes, which always seemed slightly sleepy, instantly lit up with a lively gleam, and a satisfied smile blossomed on his face. He moved as if drawn to the smell of food like a magnet. "Finally," the brown-haired man protested, though his voice held far more anticipation than actual indignation. He plopped down at the table, his gaze already scanning the plates, choosing the most appetizing piece. His gestures were sweeping, full of youthful energy, but they also conveyed a familiar, homely ease. You just smiled, looking at him.
