Hearts in Ice: a Yuzuru Hanyu Fanfiction

10: I Like You

Yuzuru's POV

"Yuzuru" A soft voice called my name "Breakfast is ready"

"Hai" I replied with a tired voice as I opened my eyes and rolled across my bed "Coming"

I stood up and walked towards the door where my calendar was hanging on the back of it . I grabbed a marker and crossed out today's date. It was already the 26th of January which meant that I had less than one month before the Olympics. My skating is simply not good enough yet. . I gave out a sigh of disappointment before leaving my room. I really need to work harder .........

Sakura-chan greeted me with a warm smile as usual. "Good Morning Yuzuru-san" She said

"Good Morning" I greeted back."Did you sleep well?" she asked me as she poured some tea into my cup.

"Thank you, I did sleep well" I answered "Let's eat?"

"Hai!" Sakura-chan said happily. "Itadakimasu!" We said in unison before sitting down at the table to eat our food.

Sakura-chan and I walked on our way to the Club. We were busy talking about our concerns and worries. When we talked, I knew she cared and was there to support me with that infectious smile of hers.

"I don't know if I can succeed at the Olympics. " I told her with a sigh "There's so much pressure for me to win, and I only have a little time left to get ready for it. I'm really scared"

"You can do it Yuzuru-san!" She said with a big smile "I Believe in yourself!"

"If I win the Gold medal for you, you will have to give me a gift okay?" She was silent for a while. "hmm...." she mumbled before giving her answer "Okay then"

"I'll be looking forward to that surprise" I smiled and felt my heartbeat race in excitement at the challenge to come.

We walked in silence for a while. When we reached the skating club, a thought from last night suddenly reappeared in my mind. I looked at Sakura-chan with a grin.

"Kkura-chan?" I stopped walking and moved my face close to her. . "Y-yyuzuru-san, what are you doing?" She asked with a flustered face as she tried to look away from my eyes

"Isn't your Ideal type someone like Furukawa Yuki-san?" I asked her

"Why-what's with that question?" she stuttered "Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"

"It's just something that I saw last night" I gave her a teasing smile as I moved closer still. "Come on answer me" I whispered in her ear.

Man, I love seeing her flustered face so much. Teasing her might become my hobby if this continues hahahahaha

"Y-y-yes!" Sakura-chan exclaimed as she went red and looked down before looking at me in the eye again "He was my Ideal type"

"Was?" I asked back in confusion "Well then who is your Ideal Type n-"

"You" she cut me off before whispering, enough for me to hear "Da-i-su-ki-da-yo" Sakura-chan said with a sly smirk as she emphasized each syllable. And I could feel myself heating up in embarrassment.

Sakura-chan stuck out her tongue, like a kid, before running away from me. I was left speechless and frozen to the spot. .

"Da-i-su-ki-da-yo" her words echoed in my head again and again.

"Arghhh!!" I yelled in excitement until someone touched me on the shoulder. It was Javi who gave me a worried look

"Are you alright Yuzu?" he asked with concern. "I'm fine, I'm fine" I gave him a reassuring smile as I placed a hand on my chest. My heart is beating like crazy right now ...... I thought to myself before Javi and I went inside the skating club.

Sakura's POV

"Kkura-chan?" Yuzuru called out my name as he stopped walking and moved his face close towards mine. "Y-yyuzuru-san, what are you doing?" I asked him as I felt heat rise up to my cheeks

"Isn't your Ideal type someone like Furukawa Yuki-san?" He asked and I was caught off guard by his provocative question

"What sort of a question is that ?" I stuttered; "Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?"

Is he trying to tease me? I asked myself and noticed the sly smirk that was forming in his lips

"It's just something that I saw last night" he replied as he whispered in my ear. "Come on answer me"

Oh that's it. ! He's definitely teasing me now!

"Y-y-yes!" I exclaimed and looked down at my shoes before looking him in the eye again with a grin plastered on my face "He was my Ideal type"

"Was?" he asked back in confusion "Well then who is your Ideal Type n-"

"You" I cut him off before he could even finish his question"Da-i-su-ki-da-yo" I whispered, enough for him to hear, and I noticed that his face went a bit red so stuck out my tongue like a child.

That's what you get for teasing me hmph!

I then ran away in embarrassment as soon as I realized what I had said. Why was he teasing me like that?...Many questions formed in my head as I tried to calm myself down. Of all the things I could have said, why did I say that to him ? no no Sakura-chan, You only said that because he was teasing you, noting else, that's it!

But seeing his face getting flustered like that was simply priceless. It was cute.....

"Sakura-chan what the hell are you thinking???" I said to myself as I felt my heart beat race faster "Stop it!!!"

Narrator's POV

Coach Brian looked at Yuzuru as he gracefully glided across the skating rink. He was wondering what was going on with him today. Normally, whenever he fell on the ice while doing jumps, he would easily become distressed about it. But the Yuzuru he was seeing right now was different. He looked happy, motivated and very calm. He had not even stumbled or fallen from any of his jumps which was a rare sight.

Brian looked at his watch, and when he saw that it was already ten minutes past 12 he suggested Yuzuru take his lunch break. But, then an unfamiliar girl caught his eye as she suddenly walked towards the side of the rink and looked at the skating Yuzuru with amused eyes.

Yuzuru suddenly stopped skating and rushed to her side. "kkura-chan!" he called out which surprised Brian. "They know each other?" he asked himself as he observed the two lightly embrace each other. "Ahh...I see" The coach gave a smile as he understood what was going on.

"Coach, I'll be taking my lunch break" Yuzuru told him as he stepped out of the rink and placed guards on his skates. . "Alright! be back by 1:15 since we ended late okay?" Brian replied and gave the girl beside him a kind smile

"Nice to meet you" The girl politely bowed to the coach.

"Coach, This is Sakura" Yuzuru introduced her. "She's my wife"

Brian gave a proud smile as he looked at Yuzuru, before looking at the girl beside him, whom he had proudly called his wife. "Thank you" he told her with a smile before leaving the two of them together which left the girl slightly confused as to why he had thanked her.

"Where are the others?" Sakura asked Yuzuru. "Oh they have already left for lunch" he answered as he removed his skates and changed into his shoes "Shall we?" Yuzuru offered his wife an extended arm. She linked her arm with his and they stepped out of the skating club into the sunlight together.
