Gold (Yuzuru Hanyu)

10. Jack Frost

We got in, laughing, cause Yuzuru was so clumsy on crutches, he almost fell on his nose coming through the doors. 

-You alright?- I got in between the laughs. 

I was holding him by his elbow, to save him from the fall.

-I'm alright, I'm alright.- He kept repeating, laughing.

We took our shoes off, and he rested his crutches by the entrance.

I went into the living room and heard him jumping on one foot, holding onto the wall.

-Want mint tea?-

-Yes, please!-

-Yuzuru-kun, this is my roommate Mila.- I pointed to a blonde girl, seated at the kitchen table, once he entered the room. -Mila, this is Yuzuru.- I pointed to the confused looking Japanese guy with wet hair.

-Hi.- She waved at him, too lazy to stand up.

-Nice to meet you- He deep-bowed, holding onto the wall.

-You're English is so cute.- I told him, and went to make tea.

Yuzuru hopped to the table, and sat across from Mila.

-What are you studying?- He asked, slowly forming his word.

-English.- She answered.

-Eh? Why?-

-That's my major. English grammar and literature.-

-Why?- He asked not being able to understand why she would be studying that "evil language", as he referred to it once. I was cracking up behind them.

-I'm Ukrainian.- She started.-I want to teach English back at home.- 

-Oh, I see.- Was all he said in English, then he added in Japanese,-Those poor Ukrainian children, they're gonna have to learn English.-

That of course made the two of us laugh. Mila looked at me blankly.

-Don't you start speaking to each other with that language of yours behind my back, or I'll start speaking in Ukrainian, and then it won't be fun.- She warned us. 

And we immediately stopped. But when I looked at Yuzu, he had that stupid teasing smile on his face.

-Do you want tea Mila?-

-Sure, thanks.-

-Why is everyone good for the Engrish, but me.- He said, looking up at the ceiling, thinking hard about his words.

-You're just special Yuzu-kun.- I told him affectionately.

-When did you start calling me -kun, Kin-chan?-

I almost dropped the jar of honey when he called me -chan. 

-Umm. wh-what?- I looked up at him, only to find a mischievous smile on his lips. And soon enough blood rose to my cheeks.

-I'm joking.- He laughed. -Please, call me whatever you like.-

-Stop with the Japanese! I don't understand anything!- Mila whined.

-Sorry.- We said in union.

............ 

-OK! The tea is ready, I'm ready. Let's watch Tokyo ghoul!-

The two of us moved to the couch, I connected my laptop to the TV, and the show was on.
