Facing Phantoms, Pursuing Flowers

Broken

Felt the need to write this... You should feel the need to read it too.

Friday.

After Friday night's training, Javi, Yuzu and Nam all left the ice first. While Sota and Melody did their warming down.

Circling the ice, they decided to add a touch of fun.

'Let's try doing twizzles! I love the Ice Dancers' synchronized twizzles'

'Yeah, we could try. Let's start with catch foot twizzles'

Took them a while to get it in sync, and by then, they were the only ones still at the club.

'This is fun... I have a great idea! Can we do the Shibutanis' twizzle sequence in their Fix You Free Dance?'

'That's hard!'

'But we can just do like simple Level 1 twizzle sequences'

'I guess so'

So starting from the instrumental part of Fix You by Coldplay, which was played through her phone and echoed around the walls, they tried to imitate the Shibutanis' choreography til the last sentence of the song:

Lights will guide you home.

And ignite your bones.

And I will try to fix you...

Where the final combination spin was suppose to be, they just did a pair spread eagle spin, holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes and smiling as if nothing else in the world mattered.

At the final chord of the song, Sota pulled Melody in to a hug.

She was a little shock but soon relaxed and hugged back, and said jokingly, 'You know, I think I really like this ending pose'

'Of course you do, I made it up,' he smirked.

'But I usually come up with better ending poses'

'Just cause you dance'

When they broke apart, she took his hand and sang,

Take my hand,

I'll teach you to dance,

Spin you around,
She spun him around.

Won't let you fall down.

If you let me lead,

You can step on my feet,
'Don't you dare though.'

So give it a try,

It'll be alright...

And on the ice, they dance and skated with laughter.

...

It was quite late when they had finally got their skates off and went to the subway stop.

The subway was about to leave when they saw it. So they ran to catch it, but it was just so merciless.

Sighing exasperatedly, Melody slumped against a pillar and pouted.

Sota looked to the brighter side.
'Hey, it's alright. We can just catch the next subway'

'But it doesn't arrive until like 30 minutes later!'

'Well, then we can...explore town! Come on, let's go!' He smiled excitedly.

She looked uncertain and continued to frown, atleast until he begged.

'Pretty, pretty please?'

'Don't you ever, ever feel, like you're nothing hahaha alright, let's go! After all, it is your last time exploring town as a Junior World Bronze Medalist. Next time we hang out you'd be the World Junior Champion!'
