Can You Teach Me? (A Yuzuru Hanyu/Javier Fernandez story)

Chapter 1

"Hey."

Yuzuru halts his step at the entrance door, turning his head towards a voice. A blonde man around Javier's age, he guesses, stops right in front of him. He's quite a charming man.

"Yuzu, right?" the man speaks.

"Yes. And you are?"

"I'm Dan. I'm a speed skater and I train here too. We've met a few times, by the way, maybe you don't remember."

"Uh, yes, maybe," Yuzuru answers a bit hesitantly and nervously at the same time.

"So, Yuzu. Can I call you that?"

"Sure," he smiles. There's the fluttering feeling inside his stomach.

"You know, I've always admired you since I saw your performance last season. You're amazing, by the way."

"Thanks, I guess," that blonde man really knows how to flatter someone. Now, blush starts spreading on the Japanese's face.

"You seem like a fun and humble person. And I always want to know you better. I want to ask you out, if you don't mind," Dan grins.

Yuzuru curses himself as his stomach doing somersaults seeing that handsome face. 'Oh my god, now he wants a date with me.'

"Really?" he knows whenever he says that word, it will sound a bit weird.

Dan chuckles, "Your accent is so cute. Yes, really."

"Of course, I don't mind."

Dan is now grinning from ear to ear. He looks really happy, and somehow it makes Yuzuru happy too.

"So, tomorrow night?"

"Sure."

Dan takes out his phone from his pocket, unlocking it and press the phone icon.

"I'll pick you up at seven. But since I don't know where you live, can I ask for your number so you can tell me the directions?"

When Yuzuru nods, he gives his phone to him to type his number and save it, then he returns the phone.

"Okay then. I'll see you tomorrow, Yuzu," Dan reaches out his hair, ruffling it gently while smiling at him fondly. And Yuzuru can't help but return his smile. He feels so small as Dan is around 10 centimeters taller than him.

They walk separately, Dan goes inside and him to the outside as his training for today has finished. However, the date has his mind occupied along the way.

Next day...

The clock shows 10.30 am. The date will be at 7 pm. Yet, Yuzuru already feels nervous like hell. How can he not? It's going to be his first date. He's never been asked out by anyone, yeah maybe there's been a few but he declined as he wasn't into that, or that he thought it wouldn't bring any better impact for his skating. This time feels different, though. Yesterday was like he felt an instant attraction towards Dan, and he was curious about it, about him too.

'Damn, why he has to be so attractive?'

He knows Dan is experienced in this thing. Dan must've known all the things about dating, and yet here he is, never been on a date, even never been kissed. He's 21 and he feels like an innocent child who doesn't know anything about adult stuff. He's somehow afraid that it might change Dan's judgment towards him.
