Melody of You | Yuzuru Hanyu

11.

Sophia entered the small bar and found herself immediately searching for him. Whatever power the man had over her, she had to clear it out of her system soon, it was getting dangerous.

If you would have told her 3 weeks ago that this would happen Sophia would call you crazy. Hell, she has avoided saying anything to her friends to avoid them freaking out.

When she finally caught his eyes, she smiled widely and went in his direction. The skater was wearing all black, a button-up shirt tucked in black fitted slacks. He looked too good for his own good and the outfit highlighted his fit body.

Sophia wasn't sure she had ever seen him wearing clothes that tight, his training outfit at the show had always been the official t-shirt over what she assumed to be a more fitted top since she could see a collar. This fit though definitely looked good on him.

"Hola Chica, Like what you see?" She heard the unmistakable voice of Javier asking.

"Hola Javi. Sí, me gusta" she answered with a smirk, eyes still on the Japanese skater.

"You speak Spanish?"

"My grandma is Spanish, I don't know it fluently, but enough to have a decent conversation"

"A box of surprises...You look good" Javi said with a smirk of his own. "Doesn't she look beautiful today, Yuzuru?"

"Yes... Hello"

"Hey" she smiled at him.

The awkwardness between them was back, Sophia now knew it happened every time they weren't alone.

"Javi, can you get me a drink?"

"Sure, cariño. What can I get you?"

"Mojito, please"

"I'll be back soon, don't get bored without me" he said, more pointedly towards Yuzuru.

"So..." She Said when they were finally alone. "You want to tell me why you get awkward once there are other people around?"

"Sorry"

"You always apologize, I'm not mad. Just curious. Less than an hour ago you were texting me teasingly and now you barely look at me in the eye"

"It's not you"

"I know. I noticed. You are normal when we are alone, but get all awkward once there are people around."

"I will tell you, just not here"

"I just got here Yuzuru, I don't plan on leaving right away."

"Later? Please "

"Just loosen up a little then." She said, placing her hands on his shoulders and shaking him a little bit, causing his body to erupt into a laugh.

"Dance with me?" He asked, surprising her. There was slow music playing when she agreed.

Sophia got closer to him and was about to ask how he wanted to do it when he promptly pulled her even closer, both hands on her waist, bodies flushed against each other. The girl placed her arms on his neck and they swayed at the sound of the music.

The warmth he provided felt incredible. Yuzuru wasn't very tall, but Sophia was a short girl so even with heels he was slightly taller and hovering over her figure.

"You look gorgeous tonight" he whispered in her ear, voice lower than what she remembered, making her shiver.

"Just tonight?"

"No, every day. You always drive me crazy."

Sophia loved the way he was whispering in her ear but there was a question that still lingered in her head.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Anything"

"It's none of my business, really. But part of me really wants to know...Are you gay?"

Yuzuru erupted in laughter at her question.

"What do you think?"

"I wouldn't be asking if I knew"

The skater pulled her slightly closer and allowed his front to touch her more, thrusting a bit and showing her the exact effect her body had on his.

"Would a gay man react this way to your body in that dress?"

One heavy sigh left her "Fuck" and he smirked. "Now seriously...Bisexual?"

"Not that I know... Why?"

"Javi"

"What about him?"

"You like him..."

"Huh?"

"Come on Yuzu, it's obvious. You two are always glued, he touches you however he likes, you're always next to him on the rink, and well, I saw the stares you gave me and Javi at the last party"

"Sophia"

"It's none of my business"

"I guess it is"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't like Javi... We are good friends, just that"

"But"

"The stares were because I was jealous, yes. But at the way he was touching you, not the other way around"

Her eyes widened at that important information, she had read the whole situation very very wrong.

"You were jealous?"

"Yes... Because I would never be confident enough to be able to just touch you as he did after meeting you the same day. I wanted to be the one doing it. And I wanted to be the one helping you relieve the tension of the tour...I was happy you two never..."

"Oh, hum. Okay...I..."

"You don't have to say anything, and I don't expect anything to change just because I said this. But to clarify, I'm not gay."

"So, if I wanted to relieve tension, you would be up for that?"

It was a direct invitation if he ever heard one.

"A little fun never hurt anyone" Yuzuru answered with a coy smile and his hands massaged her waist, getting a bit bolder.

"I could use a bit of fun... it's been a while"

"Me too. It's hard when you don't want to break anyone's heart but don't have the time for anything serious"

"I know exactly what you mean. With all the concerts I do it's the same. "

"But we could..."

"We definitely could"

"Let me know when you need it and we can figure it out"
