"What's up, skater boy?"
Nathan's jaw drops slightly, his eyes not moving from my face. He stands like this for a few seconds before Sori speaks.
"Maybe you should...hug her, Nathan. Stop staring."
We all laugh at Sori's comment, Nathan's open mouth turning into a smile as he steps forward and wraps me in a tight hug.
"God, I missed you," he says. "I missed you, too," I reply.
He pulls away suddenly, lightly pushing me. "What was that for?" I ask.
"You lied to me! You said you weren't coming until my free skate."
"If you think this is bad," Sori says. "We've been here for 2 days."
"Sori, he wasn't supposed to know that!" I whine. Nathan gasps, "2 days? That's so mean!"
Mariah clears her throat, grabbing our attention. "Not to break up this little reunion, but Nathan, you have a press conference to get to."

A knock at my hotel room door draws my attention from my phone. I jump off my bed, running to open it.
Nathan looks up from the floor as I open the door. He looks exhausted from his skate and the endless interviews.
"You look tired," I point out, moving aside so he can come in. He laughs slightly at my comment as he removes his shoes before throwing himself on my bed. "I'm so tired."
"Who said you could steal my bed?" I ask.
"Who said you can't just come up and cuddle with me?"
His comment takes me by surprise and I can feel my face heat up. However, I don't reject the offer, climbing up on the bed and laying next to him.
"Hani?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
"For what?" I ask. Nathan rolls over to face me before speaking again.
"For coming here to support me. For letting me call you with my problems even when it's 2 in the morning in Korea. For cheering me on at the Olympics. Just...for everything."
I smile at this. "You're welcome, Nathan. And thank you for cheering me on when I performed at the ceremony. It meant a lot."
"You're welcome," he says with a smile, grabbing my hand. It's at this time that I notice just how close we are, and I think Nathan realizes it too.
A comfortable silence falls over us. Nathan continues to hold my hand, rubbing his thumb over it. We both end up staring at each other as I study his face.
"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Because you look just like an angel," he says suddenly. I burst out laughing at his cheesy comment.
"That was so bad!" I giggle. He's now laughing with me, acknowledging his comment. "Hey, it made you laugh though."
We continue laughing for a moment before calming down. "I need to get to bed, but my room is 3 floors up and the elevator is broken," he sighs.
"Stay in here?" I suggest. "Okay," he smiles. "I'll take the couch."
"Or you could...just share the bed with me?" I say, afraid of his reaction.
"Are you sure?" Nathan asks. I nod.
He rolls over, grabbing the blanket from the bedside table before throwing it over us. I roll over to my side, turning off the lamp. We lay in silence as we both attempt to sleep.
"Hani."
"Nathan."
"I'm cold, can we cuddle?"
"Are you actually cold or do you just wanna cuddle?"
"I'm cold. Okay, maybe a little bit of both. Please?"
I roll over again, resting my head on his chest and wrapping my arm around his waist. "This work?" I ask.
His arm comes around my shoulders. "This is perfect."
