Summary
It had only seemed fair to find that other pair of light eyes in the front row, the years before, because every other pair seemed far away and dull, and perhaps they all were, because everybody already knew the words that will be leaving Tadej's lips. With each year, it grew bigger and stronger, beautiful and perfect. Predictable, but so exciting. Hands that had reached out once nervously, unfamiliarly, grasped into each other with painful need in those years, and kept holding each other until the bliss ended, and back came reality. But oh, fingers laced and palms pressed together, how perfect it was while it lasted! As perfect as the Tour itself, and as painful too.
Tadej looks for those eyes in front of him as he looks around, even though he knows they aren't there, not this time. His own can't seem to accept that. They find brown ones at last, shining with that new, challenging glint, a fire Tadej is so not used to. It's unfamiliarity once again when he says the name.
Maybe he really is obsessed?

Or, 5 times Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard chose each other for the Winner's Room, and 1 time Remco Evenepoel got lucky.
