one-shot and short story

2022-2

AN:
This is the first time I'm writing this scene. Please tell me how you guys feel!

Anna walked out from the rink as she was done with her gala performance. The last performance will be Yuzuru and all the gala participants will be gathered. Anna chooses to watch him secretly from backstage, wanting to know how he is doing. They hadn't talked since gala practice, Anna was scared Yuzuru was still in his sadness and didn't want to talk to her.

Haru yo, koi. She knows this program, watched it first time at an ice show that he attended. The pink costume with ribbon that decorates his costume is representative of summer and highlights the theme that he wants to bring to people who watch it. Seeing this performance in Beijing, she remembered one of Haru yo, Koi's lyrics.

Dear spring, the not yet seen spring
When I stand still in hesitation,
your gaze who gave me love
would embrace my shoulder.

As Yuzuru gracefully raised his hand as a part of the choreography, she knew that he portrayed this part as if he was reaching for something he had been dreaming of. But then let it go, symbolizing her lover's willingness to let go of what he faced over the last 2 days with an open heart.

He ends his performance with an expression that she difficult to tell. Happy? Relieved? Tired? She didn't know it. But she knows Yuzuru will get out of this amateur world. She knows he is tired of everything. The judges and the federation are the main contributors and she empathized with his struggles. She knows that Beijing will likely be their last meeting.

Soon after the gala has ended, Anna walks faster to get out of the ice. She sensed Yuzuru's gaze on her as he wanted to talk to her since the photo session. He tried to approach her at that time but she acted differently than usual. Yuzuru knows there is something wrong with her.

Yuzuru matched his walking speed and reached for Anna's hand.

"Anna?"

Being caught up, Anna turns his body and faces him. "... Yes? What's wrong, Hanyu-san?"

"I want to talk to you, why do you go away?"

"Eh... you-you want to talk to... me? Oh... I'm sorry, I'm not noticing you. G— go ahead." the way she speaks reveals her anxiety and nervousness, which she hopes he didn't notice.

"I just want to say congratulations on your second gold medal. We have the same title anyway and you're also breaking the record that any of the skaters haven't reached. You should be proud of it. Okay?"

Anna didn't know how to react. Should she thank him? Show that she empathizes with him? But one thing Anna didn't realize, she turned her eyes direction away from him.

"Oh... yeah. Thank y—you."

Yuzuru suddenly grabs her hand and brings her to a place where fewer people can see them. "Anna, look at me when we speak. Hum?" He said putting his hand to her face and directing her face to him.

"You seem afraid to me. What's wrong?"

Anna bites her lips. "No, I'm not—"

"Yes you are"

"No—"

"Yes..."

"Okay then..."

They're standing face to face in the room that
he locked the door. Anna couldn't believe the fact that he brought her to his room. As they continued to talk, their distance slowly became closer as Yuzuru wasn't satisfied with her answer.

"Anna..." he gazes into her eyes, trying to find a hint that he can get from her beautiful lady. "It's been a long time since we have talked like this. You know, I miss those days when we spent time together on the ice and did something together, laughing at jokes that you needed to translate first for me... Last but not least, I'll miss you more."

Anna's heart beating fast. His eyes still gazed at her while he said that most beautiful... wait... is he trying to confess his feelings? Did he like me? Why did he choose Beijing to say this? How's his feelings now?

"Ho—how's your feelings n—now?" Yuzuru raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"What feel—oh, don't worry about it, Anna-chan.. if you want me to be honest, okay.. I was sad, but I tried to move on and start to take care of my heart.."

Anna shows her little smile. "Ah, good then. Glad that you already make a good choice for yourself. May I ask ... is Beijing ... would be your last?"

Yuzuru smiles. He knows his girl tried to find a hint from him and she found it successfully. "Yes.. you're so smart, Na-chan.."

Na-chan the fuck? Why did he call me that? Wait what the fuck? Is—

"Na-chan... you always look beautiful when you blush like that. You're the one who always makes me blush, but I'm glad I can make you feel that way too.."

Yuzuru's face meets directly in front of hers. His hand gently brushes her cheek as he wants to send a signal to her. He slowly directed his lips to hers, but as he started to ki—

"Yuzu? You're inside?"

His mom.

Anna switches her eyes to the door. "Hanyu-san, it's your—"

Yuzuru didn't pay any attention to it. Instead of answering his mom's calls, He gently turns her face to meet his gaze once more and tenderly kisses her on the lips. His hand caresses her neck as he slowly moving his lips against hers.

Anna just closed her eyes, didn't know how to react, nor did she do. Knowing the fact that someone she has loved for a long time makes her heart fall down. She felt her legs shaking as she could barely hold her nervousness and exci—should she even allow herself to be excited about it? Fuck, I'll ignore what his mom said about me. This is the one chance!

Anna responded to his kiss by embracing his neck and gently taking control of Yuzuru's lips, expressing her longing for this moment. In addition, she tiptoed to increase her height, wanting to be closer to him in every way.

After a few moments, they ended the kiss and rested their foreheads together, taking some deep breaths.

"Anna..."

"Yes?"

"Join Fantasy on Ice with me, please?"
