✔️ Body and Mind 3

Fire Whiskey

Yuzuru got home completely exhausted but in very good spirits. He finally started to see progress with his quad Axel and even though he didn't land it even once yet, it finally started to get some shape.
His whole body ached, but to him, it was worth the pain and at least now he was finally home and could smell Emily's delicious cooking from the kitchen.

He went over to give her a welcome kiss and then straight into the shower, checking how many new bruises he got and in what color stage are the ones from the past days.
He was eternally grateful to his right ankle that seemed to have been withstanding all that just fine. At least for now.
The new season was though quickly approaching and Yuzuru promised himself that he will not practice any more 4As from the next week onwards and rather start to properly prepare for the upcoming competitions.

Once he got out of the shower, the dinner was already on the table with Emily waiting for him but instead of going to sit down he went to her and pushed her to the wall, giving her a long, eager kiss.

-Have I already told you how amazing you are?

-Approximately three times each day. I didn't see you this morning though, so this is just the first one for today.

She said with a chuckle against his lips as he was still trying to kiss her in between.

-I don't deserve you, Em.

-You do. You are quite amazing yourself, Zu.

She ruffled his hair and then nodded with her head towards the dinner on the table and Yuzuru reluctantly pulled away from her, going to sit down.

They chatted about how their day went, about his 4A progress, about Javi extending his stay that made Yuzuru incredibly happy, and about Emily's students she had that day and their progress. She was pretty sure that one of the boys she is giving lessons to and who just turned fourteen has a crush on her and they had quite a few laughs on that topic, Yuzuru being sure the boy will be improving faster than the others.

-Ever had a crush on any of your teachers, Zu?

-Yeah, on my chemistry teacher in secondary school.

-And did your grades improve?

-Yup. But just for the two years, we had her. Then it went back to average.

Emily laughed, imagining teenage Yuzuru blushing while memorizing the periodic table.

-What did you like about her?

To her amusement, Yuzuru blushed even now and avoided Emily's curious look, playing with the food on his plate instead.

-Well? Do tell!

-Um....I feel like I should say something profound...like that I liked her smile or something.

-You didn't?

-I was thirteen or so....and she wore blouses with very deep cleavage. Her smile was the last thing on my mind.

Yuzuru still stared at his plate but when Emily burst into laughter he raised his head, now grinning as well as she was laughing out loud and he was enjoying the view.

-Oh, Zu....I wish I could see that! Well, I hope you won't break up with me, considering I wasn't that gifted in the cleavage area.

Emily still laughed but Yuzuru now frowned at her.

-You were gifted everywhere just perfectly, Em.

-Hm, so which area do you prefer about me?
