"Meet me back here before the senior devision," Naomi told me, "Now you can go find you're friends. If you hwve a panic attack call me, dont worry, I'm not going to be doing anything else. Today I am your coach, and your coach only." I nodded then ran off. There was the weird feeling of anxiety coarsing through me, but I was hoping I could ignore it. I could feel my paulse all throughout my body, but it felt like my heart wasn't beating at all.
I found my friends in theain entrance. "Sup sluts," I grested them, "The warden just set me free, but I need to go back before I'm up."
"Great, can you introduce us to some hot guys?" Don asked, slinging and arm over my shoulder.
"Oh, and look what we brought to hold up when you're skating," Mersy said, reavealing the Rainbow Flag she had hidden in her coat. "But don't sorry, we also have a Japanese flag." I didn't feel like they would ever judge me, so I told them about my gender identity and sexuality. Something Yuri didn't even know the entirety of.
"I actually don't know many of the male competitors," I confessed, "But I do want to wish my brother luck then we can go and find some seats." They all nodded in agreement. I started leading them to backstage, but they werw dtopped because they didn't have the right clearance. They went to go find seats, as I went to wish the Yuri's good luck.
I found the two together, both sulking against a wall. The first group had already started skating, so I was a little late. "There you are," I sighed, running over to them. "I came to wish you luck. So good luck." I gave my brorher a quick hug, and delayed on giving Yura one.
"Awe, do you have yourself a little fan Yuris?" The other male skater teased us. JJ Leroy of Canada. "Hey, sweety, you should cheer for me, since I'm gonna win." I looked to the other three to see if this guy was serious.
"Umm, I'm his sister," I ibformed hom, point to Yuri, "and his only friend," pointing to Yura.
"Aki!" he hissed, even though he knew it was the truth. I just patted him on the head, and moved on.
"Well can you give my apologies to your mother for her giving birth to such a disappointment," we all got angry at this.
"Can I fight him?" I asked Yuri, in Japanese.
"You might get disqualified," he reminded me. I shrugged, it didn't really matter to me.

I never got around to fighting JJ, I was scared away by the appearance of Miss Lilia. I sat down next to Mersy, and infront of Don. "What took you so long?" Mersy asked me.
"You know those rumors about JJ, the skater from Canada," they nodded, "They're true, he's arrogant, and super flexible from constantly sucking his own dick." They were all surpriaed by my comment. "Oh look, Yuri's up." I got pissed at how everyone was cheering for Victor, and nor his protege. I sttod up and yelled on the top of my lung, which was very loud. "GO YURI!!!! SKATE YOUR LITTLE HEART OUT YOU PORJ CUTLET BOWL!!!" It was in Japanese so few could understand what I said. I saw him look in my direction and I waved like a lunatic.
"Gesh, are you giing to dot hate for every skater?" Don complained, pulling his hands off of his ears.
"Dude, that's her brother," Mersy hissed, slapping his knee.
"You're Japanese!?" he freaked out, as if he couldn't piece it together. At least he finally truly reconized it.

I was standing off to the side as Mila went onto the ice. "Good luck," I told her, since she was one of the only female figure skaters I knew was nice. She smiled at me and got onto the ice. I would be going up after her. I still had the pit of anxiety stick in my throat, but I knew I could skate through it. It didn't stop myself from nervously scratching myself. Whenever my arm would start moving up, Naomi would slap it down.
"You ready?" Naomi asked, as I handed her my glasses. I nodded my head and skated out, waving to the crowd with a soft smile. I saw a blob of colors in the crowd. My friends, holding up the flag. Was I alright with that. Was I ready for people to know I was queer. Neither Russia, the country I was living in, and Japan, the counter I represent and am from, are overly accepting of queer. Yes people have questioned it, bur I've never truly come out publicly. Would people's veiws of me change? All the possibilities swarmed in my mind, heightening my anxiety.
I got into my starting positions, and I noticed then, I was shaking. Before I could do anything about it the music started. My shakinf effected my skating. I wasn't going as fast, and my foot work was laggibg behind. The landing of my jumps was a litrle shaaaking. I fell once, but my hands didn't touch the ice. "YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!! KEEP IT UP MY QUEER LITTLE SISTER!!" I recognized I as Yuri, in Japanese. He was always going to be by my side.
"GO AKIRA, FLY LIKE THE GHOST YOU ARE!" that was Yura. I laughed, knowing he probably embarrassed himself by saying it.
"YOU GOT THIS PRINCESS!" I recognize that voice as Victor. Why did he call me that? I get how the compair figure skaters to princes and princesses, but that was only when they reached a certain level of expertice. Do he feel I've reached that level?
"SKATE YOU'RE HEART AND SOUL OUT KAMINARI!" that was my coach. I thought she forgot about that nickname. I wasn't sure why, but it meant so much to me. The entire crowd started screaming encouragement. Why? I questioned, I'm nothing special. When I fibished the ice got flooded with flowers, boxes of pocky, and My Little Pony plushies. I picked up the one at me feet. The only obe I knew, Rainbow Dash. I laughed, and skated off the ice.
