one-shot and short story

AN: Thank your for waiting me!

In the end, Anna didn't participate in Fantasy on Ice because she refused Fantasy on Ice's invitation and she wanted to rest after the Olympics. Despite that, she still watches Yuzuru in Makuhari and Shizuoka stops secretly, and gladly no one notices her. Yuzuru's performance is incredible as usual, especially his collaboration with one of the guests called "Raison". Anna just wants to die in that place. Is he trying to kill her or what?

She didn't mean to say that Raison is better than Real Face, it's just Raison bringing something to her. The way he lay down on the ice and... Anna just can't put it through words. She even takes a photo secretly (please don't do this guys, it's prohibited) as memories.

Good program.
Anna sends the picture to Yuzuru's email. She smiles a little. How can she expect to receive a quick response if the message was sent via email? Nowadays, people often prefer to communicate through instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp, Line (which is popular among Japanese users), Twitter, and Instagram. Despite this trend, look at these two people. Relying on emails, just like business partners. She even suggested using Google Hangouts for faster communication, but he seemed unfamiliar with the platform and was unable to use it.

Anna received a reply from Yuzuru two hours after the show.
"Anna, eh, you're here???? Why you didn't tell me sooner???? ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝ ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝ we should meet!!"

"Yeah, we can, but I didn't know this city... Where should we meet??"

"How about my hotel room?"

"Hotel room? What if someone catches us?"

"Let me be the one minding that"

"Okay then"

"ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )"

"Hey..."

Anna greeted Yuzuru with a warm smile as they reunited in front of his dorm room. He pulled her close, embracing her tightly and placing a gentle kiss on her cheek. "I've missed you so much," he whispered softly.

A little red tint showed on Anna's cheeks as she struggled to find the right words to respond. Seemed to unfold gradually before her, and she couldn't help but wonder if he shared the same feelings. Did he feel the same way as me?

"Hum... I miss you too. Your program's great, I love it."

"Let's leave the talk about programs behind and talk about personal stuff. We're not just athletes, we're so much more.." Yuzuru embraces Anna's right hand with his own, as they both sit together on a chair by the balcony, finding comfort in each other's presence.

Anna laughs. "Okay then, as you wish. Hum... I understand that Beijing has probably had some impact on you. I'm not trying to judge, but I'm curious to know how you're feeling. What's your next plan after this? Tell me.."

"My feelings... although I can't accept the fact that I've failed to regain my third Olympic gold and there are things that happened after that... for now I learn to take care of my heart and look back to people who supported me." Yuzuru ruffles her hair as he continues. "This is also my advice for you... No matter our achievements or successes, let's always remember to prioritize our passion and heart."
