The Ice Prince // Yuzuvier Fan Fic

Chapter Twenty Six

A/N: I promised myself if I get this update up, I'll download the next episode of The Untamed.

Wei Ying!...I'm coming!...

Javier:

I sucked on my teeth when another message from Laura popped up on my screen.

'Are you on your way?'

"Sir? Can you please switch off your phone for take off?" The stewardess said next to me and I nodded as I powered it down. A small part of me felt bad for not telling her that I wasn't coming down to Madrid like I'd said I would a few weeks ago. Only a very small part. I'd be back again in a month or so anyway for the Four Continents. Right now I just wanted to get back to Canada as soon as possible. Coach Brian snored in his chair next to me while Tracy was on her laptop working on more choreography she'd mentioned before we'd left for France. I spent my flight back home going through my homework.

I thought about going to my apartment first but I turned left instead and made it to Mistress Ekaterina's studio just as Phillipe and the rest of the little ones were leaving.

"Javi!" He cried and ran towards me. I held up a fist and he bumped his smaller one against mine.

"Hey little monkey. How's it going?"

"I watched you at that thing on TV." He panted and I chuckled.

"You remembered?" I ruffled his hair and nodded at another student who was waving goodbye.

"It was so cool. You got the gold medal and everything." He grinned up at me and I took it out of my jacket pocket.

"I guess it does look pretty cool." I said and tucked it over his head. It hung much lower on his small body, but he was beaming as he played with it.

"I want a gold medal too one day." He said reverently.

"Do you get gold medals in ballet?"

"No, silly." He rolled his eyes. "I want to start skating. Like you and Yuzuru-san."

"Really?" I smiled at his enthusiasm.

"I went to the rink last weekend but the teacher sucks." He pouted. "He talks to me like I'm a baby."

"Are you not a baby?" He gave me such a look of indignation that I laughed out loud. With Mistress Ekaterina, she expected you to be close to perfect no matter how old you were. I suppose other teachers were softer with kids.

"He was so boring." He huffed and took my medal off his neck. "But Mama said there's no other teachers in the area." He looked sad when he handed it back to me.

"Tell you what." I said. "Why don't you come by to the rink where Yuzu and I train and maybe we can work something out. Hmm?" Coach Brian was probably going to chew my ass again, but I didn't think about that too much right now.

"For real?"

"Sure. I mean, we have another competition coming soon, but after that I have some time." Yuzu needed to head back to Japan soon for some promotions and stuff before the Asian leg of the Four Continents tour in Tokyo and the Grand Prix in Shanghai.

"I'll talk to Mama." He said seriously and ran off when he saw her car pull up. "Bye, Javi!"

It was maybe a half hour later that Yuzu stumbled out of the doors looking a little flushed and gloomy.
