[ Y/n ]

I opened the door and Mabel hugged me, crying into my shirt. I don't think I've ever seen her cry. She pulled away and looked at me.

"I support this. I understand. You are the most important and amazing person I have ever trained. I am so lucky to have worked with you, Y/n."

I smiled and tried not to cry again.

"I will help you get ready for certification. Do not worry."

I nodded and Boris walked over, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Boris, are you ok?"

Boris lifted his shirt and showed her the healing scar. She covered her mouth and he dropped his shirt. "I am getting better. With her." He put a hand on my heed playfully and I smiled.

Mabel smiled and wiped her eyes.

"Ok... I will see you at the rink tomorrow then." Mabel pat my shoulder and I nodded. "I'll see you then."

. . .

I laced my skates up and got on the ice. I skated over to Mabel and she smiled widely. "You already have two of the three certificates you need to coach here. So, we need the last one."

I nodded and she looked over at the ice.

"Ok. Here is the pattern and moves you need to do. Understand?"

I nodded and she pointed to the ice. "Go then."

. . .

Boris sat on the bleachers and I dried my blades off.

I sat next to him and he opened his backpack, pulling out two bentos. I opened mine and saw what Boris had packed for me.

"And thermos."

I thanked him and opened my thermos. I took my spoon and put some of the rice into the thermos. Boris makes really fucking good stew.

And it's so much better with rice too.

I started eating and Boris watched me. "I like it, Boris." I said between bites. "Good." He started eating his dinner and I looked at what else he packed me.

I pulled out the cosmic brownie and Boris giggled. "I thought I put these back when we were at the store."

He kept his head down to hide his smile and I shook my head. I noticed he didn't have one and knew I would split mine with his.

I continued eating and Boris looked out at the ice.

"I am so excited to see you coach. You will look so cute."

I smiled and looked up at him. "You think?" I asked.

Boris nodded and I shrugged.

"You know... Maybe I'll enjoy it more than competitions. I won't be so stressed, you know? And I can quit my job and I'll make more money."

Boris nodded and he leaned back. "I think you will. You always love teaching, no? The smile is bigger when you would."

I shrugged and he dropped food on his shirt.

"Boris..."

He picked it up and put it in his mouth. He went to wipe his shirt with his hands and I stopped him.

I grabbed my napkin and poured some water on it. I leaned in and started to wipe the stain from his shirt.

Boris sat still and watched intently as I did so but it didn't make me uncomfortable.

[ Boris ]

I watched her clean my shirt and held my breath, looking at her. She is the prettiest woman alive.

I will marry her.

She sat up and I looked at her.

"Don't wipe it with your hands or it'll stay longer."

I nodded and she smiled at me. I smiled back at she went back to eating.

.  .  .

I was sketching in my sketchbook while she continued to work on her patterns.

I like drawing Y/n. She is like a work of art by herself.

I looked down at my drawing of her and added little details she does not even notice herself.

I feel I notice her more than she noticed herself.

My drawings of her make me have butterflies in my stomach. I get to keep these moments in time. Freeze them so I can have that feeling forever and ever.

"Boris!"

I looked up and Y/n skated over to the wall.

"Time to go?" I asked.

She nodded and I put my pencil down, getting up and grabbing my stuff.

.  .  .

I continued drawing at my desk while Y/n slept.

I rubbed my eyes and looked back at her. The sun is rising now. I really stayed up late. I looked back at my sketchbook and sighed.

I drawed a lot tonight.

I just got the urge to do so, I suppose.

I flipped back at the pages and looked back to Y/n and back at my sketchbook again.

I smiled and tapped my pencil on my desk.

Stop smiling, she's literally just sleeping...

I put my head down and covered my mouth.

I couldn't get my smile to go away and I sat up, tilting my head back. I just love her so goddamn much. I bit my nail and got up, stretching.

I walked over to the bed and laid down next to Y/n.

She cuddled up next to me and I sighed, kissing her head.

My eyes hurt from being open so long...

I closed them and slowly started to smile again.

What a stupid boy.
