Yuris Secret!! (YurionICE!!!)

-1: Skate-

Here comes finally my first chapter of a new fanfiction. This time my victim is Yuri Plisetsky. *hehe*
I have been writing on it for a while now because the last chapters just didn't fit the way I wanted them to. It took me some time and thinking to figure out an ending I was satisfied with.

The first chapters were already finished earlier and I thought about posting them and to finish the last chapters during the process but I really don't like unfinished story's - it always frustrates me as a reader when a good story just ends halfway - that's why I only post story's that are complete.

So enough small talk I would really like to know what you think about the first chapter.

Have fun reading 🤗

The air around me is cold. The ice beneath my skates is white and solid. I hear the people on the stand cheering and feel free and independent. I take a deep breath, bring myself into the starting position and wait the last few seconds for the music to give the signal for me to start my choreography. When I hear the first note my body starts to move. It is so natural and instinctual that I doesn't need to think about my movements. They just happen. Gracefully sliding across the ice. Fluidly moving from one pose to the next. Elegantly taking of for a jump. Pridefully connecting with the ice.

Suddenly a sharp pain flashes through my left leg and my professional smile fades into a slightly pained grimace. While I feel my knee buckle under my weight I still try to push through the pain. I bite the inside of my cheek and take of for the next jump. A triple. It feels like I'm flying through the air for a few seconds. The sound around me turning quiet, like I was sinking into water. The colors around me mixing together to one nameless color. I feel my skate touch down to the ice. White hot pain curses through my knee and up my upperleg. I bite back a scream of pain, only letting out a soft moan, before my leg gives away under me and sends me falling to the ice. Like slow motion I see the icy ground come closer. I try to move my arms. I want to stop the fall. I want to push myself back up. I wantto continue this routine. I want to skate. But my arms wouldn'tlisten and my muscles were like dead. Starring into nothing I feel my body collide with it, my head crashing against the crystal white ice and everything turns black.

A memory I won't ever forget. It was as bright and happy as it was dark and sad. Nearly reaching my dream, before I watched the house of cards I worked so hard for, fall apart. My tragic accident was now two month ago. Since then I had been hospitalized in Japan for two days due to my injuries. Afterwards I got my grandpa to sign me out and went back to Russia. Ever since then I haven't seen or heard from anyone. I have isolated myself from the world of skating and just wanted to forget what has happened.

Lifelessly I stare up at the abnormally white ceiling of my room. Ever since my accident I couldn't stand to see the color white. It has once been my favorite color. The color of ice. A symbol of the sport I really and honestly loved the most. But now it just triggers pain and shame. I still remember the many different reports and articles about me. Headlines like

"Fallen Ice Tiger!"   -   "Prodigy injured"   -   "Yuri Plisetsky - Tragic Fall"

Internetposts making fun of me.

"Nothing more to expect of some arrogant child"   -   "Probably to much pressure!"   -   "All bark but no bite – just a little ice kitty!"

First I was kinda angry. But that feeling faded fast, realizing that all those people were probably right about me being arrogant and to self-conscious. I'm not more than some ignorant brat.

I feel tears fill my eyes. It was fucking shameful to sink into depression about this event every time I look at my white ceiling. Frustrated I turn around, and press my face into my pillow. My eyes closed tightly trying to block out everything that could hurt me.

It takes some time before I calm down and sit up. I look out of the window. It was snowing. Thick white snowflakes turning the land around the house into a white wonder world. I lay my head onto my hands onto the window sill and watch the snowflakes fall to the ground. Immediately I feel the small hole in my heart ache. No matter how hard I tried to forget or suppress my feelings I will always love ice skating. It was the one and only thing a never wanted to loose.

I close my eyes and let myself fall into a restless sleep.

*Dream*

"Gramps! Gramps! Let's go out!", young Yura at the age of 4 years was screaming and shaking his grandpas shoulder. "I wanna go out! It's snowing!"

"Yeah it does.", his grandpa answers with an amoused look at the blondboy starring at him with his big blue eyes pleadingly. "Go and getdressed."

"Yeah!", Yura jumps of off the old sofa and runs to his room. A few moments later he comes back wearing his winter jacket, gloves, his scarf and a woolhat. He smiles brightly at his grandpa and runs to get his boots. "Hurry Gramps!"

His grandpa follows his grandson out of the house and watches how the 4-year-old happily jumps up and down trying to catch the snowflakes. He smiles gently and starts walking into the direction of the woods. "Yura. Come. I want to show you some secret place."

"Secret!?", Yuras eyes sparkle and his grandpa chuckles. His grandson was so predictable. Together they walk through the thick trees. The snow keeps falling turning the ground beneath them from brown to white.

"There it is."

"What?",

Yura was confused. There was a big place without trees but that was no secret place. His grandpa notices the confusion and kneels down to eye level with his grandson. "Do you know what is beneath the snow there?", he points to the area without trees.

"Earth?"

"Wrong. It's water. The lake is frozen due to the cold temperature.", his grandpa explains and moves closer to the frozen lake. "I used to skate here when I was younger."

"Skate?"

"Yeah. Ice skate."

*Dream end*
