[Sano is bracing for that embrace as soon as Haruaki's eyes start shining. One arm comes up, halfway to wrap around the older man, and halfway to tug his collar, "trying" to get him to release.]
[ Haruaki keeps clinging to him for a few moments longer before pulling away, sniffling, rubbing at his eyes with the hand not clutching the talisman. ]
Do you... do something to make them lucky?
[ That makes no sense given everything about him, but to be fair, Haruaki doesn't know what Sano is the god of. ]
no subject
[ Of course he's throwing himself at Sano, scrambling across the couch to hug him, talisman still clenched in one fist. ]
Thank you so much! I need all the good luck I can get!!!
no subject
I know it. So, carry it around with you, 'kay?

[Eh... How to explain?]
Not really. I'm a god of misfortune, so...really, a talisman like that is for warding it off. All I had to do was make it, but...
[But...]
My powers still don't work here. It might end up a dud.
no subject
It isn't a dud. I can tell.
[ Even if it is, Haruaki has full confidence that channeling his belief in Sano into it will make it work after all. ]
I love it. Thank you, Sano-kun.
we can wrap this too...ohhh
[The thanks is so earnest it's embarrassing...]
Yeah. No problem.
[There are footsteps outside. It sounds like Takahashi-sensei will be back through the door any second.
[Sano wiggles away from Haruaki on the couch.
[The framed photo is still in his hands. He frowns and picks it up, stands.]
I'm just gonna go...put this in my bag...'kay?
hehehe wrapt for mee
Okay!
[ And just as Sano goes to walk away–
One more little package hits the back of his head.
One of those cloth headbands for washing one's face, with tanuki ears. ]
One more Christmas attack! I win!!!
