The Rising Truth

Language of love

I had a great time in San Francisco. I got the Number PLUS FIGURE SKATING TRACE OF STARS vol. 6 which had interviews in Japanese, but I don't know Japanese. So, Yay!!!

Thanking for voting/commenting and reading. :)

Yuzuru pov.

Nothing was fun about being sick. Nothing. You can't eat because your throat is sore and food tastes bland. All your limbs and joints hurt. You cough continuously. You have that weird stuffy nose, that you can't get rid off.

As luck would have it, I got sick a week right before Nationals. The family doctor had ordered me to be confined to my home and my sister took almost a sadistic glee to being in charge of me. I tried escaping through the window, and now my left hand is handcuffed to the bedpost.

I wanted to win the fifth national title. Shoma was also going to be there and I really wanted to see him again. After our confession at GPF, I haven't seen him since. We've texted and video called, but haven't met in person. 

I was desperate. I tried picking the lock, breaking off my bed post, bribing Nobu to help me. I tried everything. I even tried knocking Saya out and stealing the key. It only ended with her being slightly pushed and me tripping down a flight of stairs. I only ended up being scolded by my parents and locked in my room.

I hear the door downstairs open. Great, Saya was home. My torture continues. There were footsteps on the stairs and my bedroom door opened. I silently sighed and prepared myself for some terrible meal and teasing.

"Yuzu-kun, are you feeling alright?" I immediately whipped my head around. I knew that voice. The voice my angel, my love, my life. Shoma.

"Sho-chan! What are you doing here?" My beautiful Shoma stood at the doorway with a tray of food. I was either dreaming or my sickness has progressed to hallucinations.

"You said you were sick. I wanted to visit you before I go to Nationals." He set the tray on my bedside table and sat beside me.

"If you stay here you're going to get sick, Shoma. You have to compete. You should be resting before a competition."

"You should also be resting." He smirked at me, and I looked at him annoyed

"It's boring. Go rest, Yuzu. Go eat, Yuzu. Go to sleep, Yuzu. Don't practice, Yuzu. Don't leave the house, Yuzu. I'm tired of that. I want to go skate and see you again."

"You'll have next year to compete. Besides, I'm here so you did get to see me." He looked so happy and even the idea of my sickness couldn't damper my mood.

"I'm sure you'll win. I happy for you."

"Don't say that. What if I don't win?" He always doubted himself. Always, even though to me he was absolutely perfect.

"Oh please, I know that you'll get first place." 

He turned and took a box out of his bag. "Here, I won't be here during Christmas so I want to give it to you right now."

It was a beautiful box tied with a gold ribbon. Inside was a large leather photo book with a Winnie the Pooh in the corner.  I opened it to see 11 pages filled with photos, from when we had first met in Sendai to our most current win in Marseilles.

"Shoma, this-this is amazing. Did you do this?" I was absolutely breathtaken.

"Uh, yeah. I found the photo book in a bookstore. The photos are mine that I've had over the years."

"I can't take this. I didn't get you anything for Christmas." I look up at him.

He giggled, "It's alright. Having my boyfriend cheer me on is enough for me."

What did I do to deserve this angel?

-------------

He did win. I saw it on TV. His spectacular performance that got him first place. My boyfriend got first place. My boyfriend. Geez, I get so giddy whenever I call him my boyfriend. He's mine. All mine.

I want to hold him and hug him and kiss him. I love him so much that I would probably die before I could fully express how much I love him. I'd give everything for him. Whenever he's stressed or hurt, I feel it. I share his joy and sorrow and I wouldn't have it any other way. I pray that we will be happy together.

Shoma pov.

I did it. I won. Here I was, in first place, standing in front of a cheering, adoring crowd. It was overwhelming.

Yuzuru texted me the moment I got off the podium.

Yuzu: Congratulations Shoma :)

Shoma: Thank you! I couldn't have done it without your encouragement

Yuzu: You didn't need it. I knew my boyfriend is amazing after all. :)

He called me his boyfriend. I must be grinning like an idiot here. I'm so in love with him that when he called me his boyfriend, my heart skipped a beat.

I would die for him. I love him more than there were stars in the sky, and waters in the seas. I want him to know that. I want him to know that I would sooner betray my country than him. I would sell my body and soul to the devil himself if it is for him.

Valentine's day is going to be here in a month and a half, so I really should be prepared something for him. There's also New Year and that needed preparations and gifts also needed to be given. 

Ugh, I'm going to be super busy but it's worth it. I want to express my love to him. I want Yuzu to know that I love him.

I arrived back at the hotel where all the gifts and letters from fans laid on either my bed or on the ground. There were flowers, small trinkets, photos,  plushies, lip balm, and of course, letters. I always read the letters first since people take the time to write it, then I should dedicate my time to reading it.

They were is really pretty envelopes and decorated with stickers or pretty washi tape. But a letter caught my eye. It was a lavender envelope with lavenders and orange lilies watercolored onto it. It was a very pretty letter, so I picked it up and opened it.

The letter inside was not so pretty.

Shoma Uno,

         I am aware you are dating Yuzuru Hanyu. I suggest you stop. For both your sake and his. If you don't, you won't live to regret it.

Stay away from him.

I picked up the envelope was cut my finger as I was putting the letter back in. It was quite a deep cut as my finger started immediately bleeding. There was a small edge blade taped inside the envelope.

The drama picks up. I'll right happier one-shots as this story starts taking a dark turn. But thank you for reading! I hope you liked it :)
