TCC

It would be another two weeks until Yuzuru saw Anya again and he was cursing each day that he forgot to ask for her number. He even tried to find her social media but was not surprised to see that she had none. He was even on the verge of just going to her place, but couldn't imagine seeing Rachel again. So he just waited and hoped for her to just show up again, making sure that this time he won't let her get away that easy.

Anya was going towards the TCC and hoping that Yuzuru meanwhile didn't change his afternoon training schedule. She just got out of the airport, dragging a small suitcase on wheels behind her, absolutely excited and just wanted to share her happiness with him, hoping he would be glad to see her.

She got inside and aimed towards the rink when the receptionist called at her and stopped her.

-I am sorry, but you have to register here first. Do you have a class here?

-Oh, no I don't, I am just visiting a friend.

-I am sorry, but if you are not on the list of visitors, I cannot let you go in.

-Oh, I understand, it's okay. Can you just let me know if Yuzuru Hanyu is here today? I will then wait here.

The receptionist now stood up from behind her counter and scanned Anya up and down, stopping at her long braid.

-Are you Anya, by any chance?

-Yes? How do you know?

-He added you to the list just three days ago. Saying if a pretty girl with a long braid named Anya shows up, we should let him know right away.
It was unusual, as unlike other skaters here, he never brings a girl over to show off, so we were quite surprised. You caused us, receptionists, quite some excitement in the past days. The girls won't believe me the mystery girl actually showed up!

-Great....

-You can go in then.

The receptionist pointed at the hallway leading to the rink, still looking at Anya with obvious curiosity. As soon as Anya knew the girl can't see her face, she rolled her eyes and clenched her fists.

"Thanks, Yuzu. You gonna pay for this." - she thought as she was making her way to the rink.

She got there, seeing that there are several skaters on the ice, most of them practicing skating technique and step sequences, but no jumps, except of Yuzuru in the back, lost in his world and landing one Quad Lutz after the other, most of them perfect and not falling on any. She was happy to see that he finally got the hang of it when Brian approached her.

-Ah, you must be Anya!

She now couldn't hide her annoyance and rolled her eyes again.

-Yes.....that would be me....is there anyone in this building who doesn't know me?

Brian laughed at her irritation, not taking it personally.

-I doubt it. His training is almost over, he will be so happy to see you!

-No he won't. - She ground through her teeth.

Anya then bent over, collecting all the loose ice from the edge of the rink in her palms and turning it into a small snowball.
She then went along the open ice to the backside with all the mirrors where Yuzuru was jumping. As soon as he landed his jump, reviewing the marks of his skates he left on the ice, she carefully aimed and then hit him with the snowball right in the back of his head.

He swiftly turned around, an angry look in his eyes but the second he saw Anya his face turned into the biggest smile, making his eyes disappear. He quickly skated over and lifted her off the ground in a tight hug.
