Ice Practice is already over and Takahiko Kozuka is trying to fix himself quickly because he needs to catch up with someone. He hastily fixed his hair and used a newly bought body spray for this occasion. After a last sweeping look on the mirror, he winked and grabbed his bag before heading out of the men's locker room.
For years he has always harbored a crush on Mao Asada so much. I mean who wouldn't? Mao is such a smart and kind person, plus she's cute when she eats. Taka smiles at the thought when they were together with the entire team for a dinner and he sat beside Mao the whole time. He took out two vouchers for an eat-all-you-can buffet at a 4-star hotel just nearby their training rink.
Taka was half running seeing Mao standing by herself at the main entrance lobby.
"Hey Mao-chan!" he called gasping as he stopped beside her.
"Oh Taka-chan! What's up?" she answered surprised, looking up from her iPhone.
"Ahhhh... so... how's training? I saw you nail that quad salchow earlier! That was awesome!!" he said making exaggerated gestures.
"Oh, it's well...still a work-in-progress. I was only able to land it cleanly once today..." she answered blushing a bit.
"...but thanks Taka-chan. You were also doing great with your quads too at practice." Mao continued now smiling.
Taka sheepishly scratched the back of his head turning pink slightly not from Mao's compliment but from his very thoughts that Mao-chan was also watching him skate earlier.
Taka felt that this is the right moment to ask her for a nice dinner together tonight. He knows very well that the restaurant will be serving Mao's favorite dishes at the buffet. He took a deep breath then,
"Hey Mao-chan! Let's go!!" both Taka and Mao turned to the new comer speaking.
"Dai-chan!" Mao returned with a huge grin on her pretty face. Daisuke Takahashi came walking towards them and casually placed his arm around Mao's waist.
"Hey Taka-kun! How's it going?" Dai greeted him. Taka felt a sour feeling welling up in him and ended up mumbling "Isok..."
"Sorry to keep you waiting Mao-chan, traffic." Dai turned to Mao pinching her nose gently. She swatted his hand playfully then leaned her head on Dai's shoulder.
"So, Taka-kun we're going ahead of you now. Best of luck on your training." Dai said to him as Mao smilingly waved at Taka.
