The ice cold beginnings

It was an average day when Y/N started their ice skating lessons. It was cold and murky, with colorful leaves dancing down to the ground and rain puddles from the night before reflecting the grey sky above. 

As they continued to walk they noticed a group of hockey placers laughing like a clan of hyenas. "Great I'm stuck on the ice with a group of assholes who don't even think ice skating is a real sport." Y/N thought.

 As they kept walking and rolled their eyes, they noticed a familiar person, their bully Zeke. A guy who reeked of pine trees & axe body spray, with dark amber eyes and, tall with stupid blonde hair, an asshole who always got his way with violence and anger. 

He looks over in my direction and gives a giant grin "Well if it isn't my favorite pipsqueak" he remarked as they were close buddies. Y/N keeps walking ignoring him "Don't pretend to not see me pipsqueak"  Y/N looks at the tall bully in his eyes and books it inside the building, knowing if they did ignore him or not it would always be the same. 

Foot steps followed behind Y/N until they reached the building entering the locker room, closing the door behind them and locking it.

 Hearing loud banging coming outside "You cant run forever pipsqueak, don't think you got lucky this time". As he walked away a sigh of relief came out of Y/N's mouth as they continued to catch their breath and drink some water, they created a scowl on their face as they got ready for practice hoping that they didn't catch the attention of him.

-Skip to practice-

Today's instruction was to perfect their triple axels and double salchow jumps which was difficult for Y/N because they couldn't get right was the change of footing and to stay on beat with the music while doing so.

  Y/N kept having trouble doing their triple axels, they kept falling, and falling causing lots of bruising on their legs and hips, causing lots of frustration and annoyance. Laughter is heard from behind, a voice so familiar and filled with annoyance "aww the pipsqueak, I didn't know you 'sport' involves graceful falling and dumb outfits" Zeke spoke with a grin. 

"Don't you have practice bench warmer?, besides how long have you been standing there?"Y/N said with irritation in their voice slowly getting up. "Don't get sassy on me pipsqueak I ain't no bench warmer and for your information were on break" Zeke voiced with vexation his eyes darkened slightly.  

Y/N kept their distance hesitant to go closer in fear of getting hurt but kept a straight face, "Listen just leave me alone, unlike you I don't bench warm I actually do something."they said with smugness. 

Visibly angry Zeke stepped inside the rink and skated towards them, Panic came across Y/N's face and tried desperately to skate away from him on the ice, as they both glided on the ice with speed  Y/N was finally caught by Zeke.

 Pinned down against the cold ice, Zeke forces Y/N to look at his amber eyes while both of you are heavy breathing  "Listen little Mx. Perfect, don't you ever call me a bench warmer again or I'll throw away your pathetic excuse of ice skates. Do you understand?" Zeke remarked in a hushed tone his eyes focused on Y/N. 

Y/N nodded not making a sound when suddenly they both heard Zeke's teammates calling for him saying that their break was over, "You're lucky that my breaks over pipsqueak" he scoffed pulling himself up from the group and skating back to his team leaving Y/N on the chilling ground below them.

-Another skip but in the lockers-

Y/N was patching their bruises and cuts with bandages, suffering slight back pain from being pinned down the ice earlier. "Honestly who's /that/ insecure about an insult" Y/N thought while patching up their final cuts on their ankles putting on their socks and shoes after. 

As they looked into the mirror they felt somewhat content about how much they have improved in their journey. A small smile appeared on their face as they gathered their stuff and walked out heading back home, however as they were walking out the building their ears were met with a familiar screech once again. 

Their smile disappeared  and eyes dulled as they turned around to meet face to face with Zeke, "what do you want /now/ Zeke?" Y/N sighed with disappointment, Zeke looked down in the dull eyes of Y/N.

 "I want to challenge you" Zeke vocalized with a playful tone, something was definitely up "Before I accept what's the catch?" Y/N said with a raised brow. "Well easy, I get to throw away your shoes and you wont ever return the ice" he stated with a smirk, "What if I win?" Y/N said softly but with some power and determination in their voice. 

Silence filled the air for a moment creating a strong tension between the two, "I have an idea, for one whole week you do whatever I tell you" Y/N said  as they looked into his amber eyes. 

"Fine." as they shook hands the deal was done, they both discussed the date and time. Soon after they parted ways Y/N was thinking of ways to win to save their skates from going to the trash.

-One more skip but at Y/N's apartment-

As Y/N arrived back to their apartment they threw their gym bag on the ground and hopped on the couch relaxing their body from all the tension they had all day. 

They reached for their pocket digging to find their phone, as they grabbed their phone opening it to check on any notifications that they had gotten through the day.

 As they scrolled they noticed a notification from their coach that was next week's training and new exercises to try to do. 

They sighed and shut down their phone and started on their night routine getting ready for bed, exhausted they went to bed knowing tomorrow will be equally as long.
