Song: What About Us by Pink
Nathan's POV
"What the fuck, why wouldn't you tell your daddy that you were dating?" Adam questions madly.
"It just kinda happened?" I shrug.
"Just kinda happened," Adam says sarcastically using air quotes.
"What?" I ask.
"Whatever, enjoy it, Quad King," Adam says childishly as the rest of the figure skating team attacks me and Kierra.
"Seriously Nathan, you could have at least told me!" Karen yells. "I'm your Chen twin."
I laugh nervously.
"Whatever, you guys are cute together," Karen says. "You'd make cute kids together."
"What the fuck!" Adam screams. "When did you get so dirty minded?"
Karen just laughs and waltzes away dragging Kierra and Mirai with her.
"Excuse me, where are you taking my girlfriend?" I ask.
"Somewhere," Karen answers mysteriously.
"Good to know that you don't care that I'm being abducted as well." Mirai pouts.
"We're gonna go have girl time," Karen states. "You guys do whatever guys do."
Kierra just offers me an awkward shrug as she's pulled next door.
"Do I count as a girl?" Adam asks confused next to me. "Guys wait for me!" Adam screams as he sprints after them and promptly gets kicked out.
"Really?" I ask.
"Yeah?" Adam shrugs.
"You have a dick dude," I laugh.
"Whatever," Adam huffs.
Kierra's POV
"Next up representing the United States of America, Kierra Yu."
Carefully removing my guards from my blades I step onto the ice. The familiar sound of blades scraping against the ice fills my mind. I skate a warm-up lap and slide into the center of the rink.
"What About Us," By Pink fills the rink.
Foot over foot I skate naturally.
Figure skating has always been my life, and it always will be.
I start with a pretty simple step sequence and begin setting up for my jumps.
"What about us? What about all those times you said you had the answers?"
Taking the lyrics as my clue I push off the ice forcefully, ignoring the small pain in my hip.
A triple toe loop, followed by a double toe loop.
Both technically perfect.
Never, ever would I think that Nathan and I would be a "thing."
Sure, we were childhood friends, but childhood friends stay as friends; they don't become couples.
I smile joyously as I skate into the center to begin more of the "dance elements" of my routine.
A simple spiral into a biellmann spin into another simple step sequence.
"What about all the broken happy ever afters?"
My mind instantly flashes back to Vincent.
