CHAPTER ONE
“You what?” Yuzuru Hanyu, 4 time Grand prix champion dramatically gasped with his hands rested firmly at Nathan Chens’ chest, Silver medalist of the same event trying to prevent the younger to come an inch more and totally invade his private space.
The two of them are standing behind curtains after the awarding ceremony of the Grand prix too close that Yuzuru could count Nathans eyelashes if he want to.
Yuzuru was heading to his coach when suddenly Nathan popped out from nowhere and dragged him to the most secluded area of the arena. Of course it was terrifying especially when Nathan just appeared from nowhere when he was calmly walking down the aisle while listening to another One OK Rock song form his iPod making his heart almost broke out from his rib cage.
Yuzuru pulled out his earphones as he looked at the male skater in front of him. Nathan looked back at him, with those dead serious eyes that made Yuzuru feef almost scared. Nathan’s eyes really made Yuzuru feel weird especially on his opinion, it doesn't change emotions at all. It look so stoic its almost blank and now his looking at him with those same eyes.
“What’s the problem?” Yuzuru finally asked after a while of silence. He adjusted his coat and firmly held his Pooh in front of him. Nathan just looked at him, not saying a word. His eyes started scanning Yuzuru from head to toe and it felt extra weird, everything right now felt weird. He never really talked to Nathan personally or knew the kid closely and right now Yuzuru is having a hard time figuring out what he wants especially when his not talking at all.
“I need to see Brian, I go first” Yuzuru spoke again thinking that he wont get an answer from Nathan at all.
Maybe he was supposed to say something like ‘Congratulations’ or ‘I’ll definitely beat you next time’ but Yuzuru didn't get any and his taking too much of his time with this nonsense. Yuzuru took a step forward after he excused himself and to his surprise Nathan suddenly pulled him back and pushed him on the wall just behind him making his back hit rather harshly on the concrete.
Nathan pinned Yuzuru entrapping him between his hands that are firmly glued on both sides of Yuzuru’s head preventing him to go. Yuzuru unconsciously brought Pooh on his chest, hugging it close.
“Wh-what do you want?” Yuzuru didn't want to sound scared but damn he is.
There really is a problem and maybe his kid wants to beat him up or something. Maybe he have anger issues and doesn't like losing and now he wants to punch the hell out of Yuzuru. Nathan moved closer to Yuzuru, not breaking eye contact. Yuzuru did his best to move back but it's a dead end. He throw his head on the side when he felt Nathans breathe touched his face.
God, this is insane. Yuzuru is sure close to yelling when Nathan slide his left hands on Yuzuru’s chin making the Japanese skater look at him. Yuzuru almost kicked the other guy but instead he closed his eyes ready for anything that might hit his face or something instead he heard a soft chuckle and as he opened his eyes he saw Nathan with a small smirk on his face.
“I like you” The American skater said and Yuzuru almost had a heart attack.
Yuzuru blinked his eyes making sure his seeing this, and hearing it from the latter.
“You what?” Yuzuru gasped pushing Nathan back with his hands but damn it was no use.
The kid doesn't want to step back even just a little and he surely is enjoying this close contact with Yuzuru. Nathan caressed Yuzuru’s chin, letting it go after a while then placing his hands on Yuzuru’s waist and all of the sudden pulled him closer which made the Japanese skater yelp and cling to Nathan’s shoulder.
He dropped his Pooh bear as Nathan pushed his body closer to the other resting his face just right beside Yuzuru’s ears.
“I said I like you” He whispered and it made Yuzuru’s body shiver. Nathan smiled because of that and Yuzuru is beat red because of embarrassment.
“Crazy! Let go” Yuzuru struggled, freeing himself from Nathan. Nathan finally loosen his hold on Yuzuru and pushed Yuzuru back on the wall.
He then picked up Pooh and handed it to the other. Yuzuru grabbed it from him and looked at him with killer eyes. Nathan just smiled and buried his hands on his pocket.
“Joke not funny at all” Yuzuru ranted as he straightened his coat and fixed his hair.
“I’m not joking” Nathan responded looking dead serious. Yuzuru is really having a headache with all this. It’s not making sense at all. Why would Nathan Chen like him? His gay? Is he being serious or his just playing games. This is very far from being rational at all.
Yuzuru rolled his eyes and crossed his hands in front of him.
“It’s not good playing tricks. That’s very rude” Yuzuru lectured and Nathan just gave him a ‘yeah yeah’.
The Japanese skater sighed and after that he heard a familiar voice calling his name.
“Yuzu? Yuzuru? Are you here?” Javier Fernadezs’, his training mates’ voice echoed on the hallway.
Yuzuru beamed and shouted,
“I’m hereeeee” He said and after a second Javier saw him and Nathan.
“Oh, Nathan? What’s up with you two?” Javier asked walking towards both of them.
Yuzuru looked at Nathan and again he have that cold look on his eyes as he looked at Javier who’s waiting for his answer. Nathan just lowered his head and walked pass Javier not bothering to answer. Yuzuru’s eyes followed the American skater as he near the other half of the hallway.
“What’s with him?” Javier asked, scratching his head in the process.
“Don't mind him.” Yuzuru shrugged off smiling at Javi in the process.
Javier smiled back and Yuzuru swear that that is the most beautiful smile he ever seen. Javier just shines in front of him everytime he smiles and he looks so damn cute.
“Congratulations” Javier said pulling Yuzuru in a tight hug.
Yuzuru snuggled his face on the others shoulders and was delighted of the smell that hit his nostrils. A mix of musk with a little hint of vanilla. Yuzuru sighed and enjoyed the moment. With everyone greeting him and congratulating him, this one is the best.
He always liked Javi, since day one but his too afraid to tell the other skater, after all Javi has a girlfriend, one of his Japanese friend to be exact. It hurts him everytime but what can he do? He is very much contented having Javier as his training mate and friend,, his okay with that atleast he have him by his side.
“Thank you” Yuzuru mumbled and Javier broke the hug.
“Let’s get going. Brian is waiting” Javier announced and Yuzuru nodded following the other skater.
“I like you”
Nathan's words keep replaying inside his head.
Shivers run through Yuzuru’s spine as he recall what happened earlier. Nathan holding him like that, touching him in places he shouldn't touch and saying he likes him. Yuzuru doesn't know what the American skater is up to but he will surely not let him belittle him like that.
His Yuzuru Hanyu after all, the Great Yuzuru Hanyu.
Or that is what he thought.
