He loved the pressure of competition.
She hated it.
They both loved how they felt on the ice.
The air, the smell, the wind, the silence.
It was everything to them.
They also loved how they made each other feel but could they ever love each other mor...
"Oh come on, post the picture!!! You look hot!" Chris tried to persuade me for what felt like the hundredth time in the last half hour.
"But I don't like posting on Instagram! It's too stressful, you have to reply to comments or worry that you don't have enough likes..."
"Okay I'll post mine if you post yours!"
"How is that supposed to help?" I plop myself down next to her on the couch.
"I don't know! I just wanna post mine! And what's the point of even taking pictures if you won't post them!"
"Ugh whatever, just post it for me!" I toss her my phone, and get up as soon as I hear the doorbell ring to let Roman in.
"Well if it isn't my favorite Ukrainian!" he squeals as he hugs me, lifting me of the ground.
"If it isn't my favorite idiot!"
"Do you ever have anything nice to say to me?!"
"Yes. That was nice!" he frowns at me so I add "I'm just kidding Rom' you're my favorite goofball!"
"What's Chris doing?"
"I'm posting Darianka's first ever Instagram picture!" she mused, showing him my phone.
"It's not the first one ever! I just deleted them all..." I protest, trying to rip my phone out of her hands.
"POSTED! And don't even think about deleting it!"

"See? Only half an hour and you already have plenty of comments!" Christina smirked mischievously.
"Did you text Maia and Alex, and tell them to comment?!" I shriek and grab a pillow from the couch, lounging myself at her.
"No! O-okay okay... MAYBEEEEE" she yelps as I chase her around the couch, still trying to hit her with the throw pillow.
"I swear you two are insane" Roman states as we run past the kitchen, where he's failing to make dinner.
"I KNOW!"
"Isn't it great?!"
As I run past Roman again he grabs me by the waist, lifting me up and throwing me on the couch. I stare at him incredulously and then shift my gaze towards Christina who's panting, standing behind said couch, her bun a bit more messy than it should be. We all look at each other silently before bursting into laughter, clenching out stomachs.
"F-fine, fine! But I get to pick y-your caption though!!!" I breath out in between laughs, trying to dry the tears in the corners of my eyes.
"WHAT?!"
I stare at her as intensely as I could manage, lifting one eyebrow.
"Alright fine!"

"I knoooow, neither would I. That's why I'm enjoying this so much, it's hilarious!" I beam, amused by my prank.
"Ugh..."
"You don't hate me."
"No. I can't of want to though!"

AN: This isn't even a real chapter but I kinda had fun writing it and imagining how all these people would act online!
This is just to post something while I'm working the next actual chapter, but this is a fun exchange between the three musketeers. It happens after Chris and Darianka get back from Canada!
