You had a strict regime of training. Wake up, have breakfast (which had to be specially made) and train. Train for 7 hours a day.
Your parents didn't want you to do all this rigours training (especially since you were only 14) , but you had to, you needed to.
Yuri Piletsky was your rival, you strived to be better than him. Every time there was a competition, it would always be a close call between you and Yuri. Considering you hated each other, you both talked a lot. Sometimes you'd spend hours talking to him on instagram, or sending him silly snaps of your cat, y/c/n. Usually, Yuri won more then you. After all, he is a rising star in the figure skating world.You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don't know
You don't knowYou think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a nameYou think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knewHave you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the windCome run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun sweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worthThe rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never endsHow high will the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colors of the windYou can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the windYour breaths were deep, there was no way you could've had any faults. You'd practiced the routine day in and day out, it was perfect. The audience clapped loudly, with cheers!
9.8, 9.7 and a 10! You smiled tucking a loose piece of hair behind your ear, beat that Yuri. Speaking of Yuri, he was watching you from the side. He'd already performed, but you didn't get to watch it as your were getting changed.
Happily, you skated off in rejoice. As you opened the gate, Yuri came up to you. "You may have won this time but don't think I'll give up so easily."
"You're jealous and you know it, it's not my fault I'm really good at skating." You teased. "Oh wait, so I'm winning?" Your mouth gaped open, there were only two skaters left and you were in the lead!Yuris POV
She looked at the board gobsmacked, "don't get too happy. Who knows maybe someone might beat you?"
She punched me playfully on the arm, "Don't be hating Yuri, I'm just fabulous." She laughed.
"Y/n!" It was her parents shouting her over. "Well see ya, I won't be at the next competition I'm on holiday- don't get too comfortable though!" She said to me smiling.
How did I feel about her? Sure I'm only 14, but she was so nice...
Walking down to the changing room, I was checking my phone. I really wanted a cat, damn.

Your POV
Being a 5x gold medal winner at the olympics was, cool. Being a figure skating champion at the women's international competitions was,
okay. You were only 18, yet you felt so old. Recently, you were asked to judge at a international completion in Australia, maybe it could get you out of the house and doing something? But that something was missing, sighing you switched on the television.
"Would you ever consider partner work, in skating?"
"The only partner I've worked with is Otabek and I wouldn't imagine working with anybody else."Your heart skipped a beat, you hadn't seen him in 3 years. The messaging had become less and less...
The tv changed to a man commentating on a young boy with black hair figure skating.
"These events in Australia, have had everyone on edge..."After that it sort of, blurred away. You picked up your phone and messaged your manager,
Hey y/m/n, sure I'd love judge! I'll come down later and sort it out!Time skip~~
Cameras flashed in your face, a security guard opened the door.
The stadium was huge, you looked around feeling a sense of nostalgia. You hadn't skated in a year, sort of around the time when Yuri stopped messaging you...
"Hello y/n!" A woman smiled walking up to you with her eyes wide open. "My names Kathleen, there's another performer on in half an hour. So I'll take you to the changing room to get ready." She linked your arm and lead you to the changing room.
Immediately, the team had already started working on your face. The door opened, "oh Yuri sit down. We're already working on another one of the judges."
Your ears rang, your face felt warm. You looked at Yuri, he looked so different. His hair was longer, he had a stronger build, his face seemed kinder.
"Hey, y/n..." he smiled. You just gave him a sad smile.Time skip~~
You smiled from the judging panel, watching a 15 year old girl perform. It was the last person you had to judge for the day. Her performance was elegant, definitely something special- you gave her a solid 10.
"Hey, y/n. I'm sorry about everything, do you want to hang out and start off from where we left?"
"Where did you go? I'm not mad nor angry, just upset, where did you go." You asked sadly.
"I'd gone to Japan with Viktor, ever since my life was a blur. I met people who changed me and made friends, I'll tell you all about it."5 years later~~
You walked down the isle with your father/mother/carer/best friend. Happily, you walked up to the isle. Yuri smiled at you, Viktor was crying-very loudly.
You exchanged vows. "You may now kiss the bride."This was written for my friend, LlamazzLionzz . Hope you enjoyed this and leave any recommendations for x readers, have a nice day 💜
