✔️ Body and Mind

Creep

Yuzuru woke up and stretched his arms, noticing that Anya is not in the bed. His eyes immediately fell to the wall where he found her the last time, but she wasn't there either.

He then noticed a note on his desk reading 'Looking forward to Saturday' and when he took the note in his hand, he saw she wrote her number on his forearm while he was asleep. Just as he did to her on the bus. As much as he was annoyed that she disappeared like that, he still had to smile seeing the number.

"Finally!"

Yuzuru was happy having finally her number, not knowing that Anya liked meaningless texting as much as she liked small talk.

Yuzuru
7:30
-Morning! :)

Anya
8:00
-Morning

Yuzuru
8:01
-Did you sleep well?

Anya
8:01
-Yes

Now he realized that if he wants to chat with her, he will either need to see her in person or at least write something meaningful.

Yuzuru
8:03
-I won't have much time until Saturday, but if you like you could come to one of the practices?
Maybe tomorrow at 4 pm? I will be finished at 5 pm.

Anya
8:04
-Should be manageable. Will see.

Yuzuru sighed and went to get ready for his morning ballet class.

Anya put down the phone and was wondering if maybe she should go and buy something to wear with color for Saturday. Or maybe even for tomorrow. She wanted to show Yuzuru there is more to her personality than black hoodies, as she wore those only not to draw attention to herself from strangers. But for her previous boyfriends, she was always happy to dress up nicely.

She grabbed her backpack and went to her first class, planning to stop at the mall after.

In the end, she got home with more bags than she expected as well as the latest New In Chess  (NIC) magazine. She first checked the magazine to see if they managed to already print something about her most recent match.
They did.

'....Her placement was no surprise as we all know she always finds a way even from the most intricate situations, though it was obvious that her last opponent didn't take the loss that well. It also just might have been harder on him as he lost to a woman. So let's see how it goes for Megan Byrne when those two girls finally meet again as they both qualified for the GP in Geneva. As much as Ms. Byrne is constantly pushing the narrative that they are friends, we still didn't hear the other side of the story, confirming if there is actually a friendly relationship between those two or not.'

"Of course, why would you bother to write about the matches itself, right? Only hoping for a catfight...fuck sake!"

She growled and tossed the magazine into the bin.

Thursday

Yuzuru was done with both his warm-up and skating exercises and was now waiting for Brian who was supposed to record his jumps and analyze them together afterwards. He was also constantly looking around to see if Anya actually came since it was already a few minutes past 4 pm.

He continued skating making sure he doesn't start with the jumps without Brian to avoid another fight.
Yuzuru started his step sequence when he noticed a pretty girl standing at the edge of the ice. He immediately felt guilty that he found her attractive, considering he was interested only in Anya, but he couldn't help it. A second later he almost tripped over his toe pick, realizing that the girl he saw in his peripheral vision was actually Anya. He quickly turned around and skated towards her, putting his arms on her shoulders and scanning her up and down.
She was wearing black tight pants, up to her waist, and in those tucked a dark green t-shirt. Even though the t-shirt had long sleeves and no cleavage, it was so tight around her body that it only highlighted her perfect figure. And then especially with the pants having a higher waist, showing the contrast of her hour-glass shape even more. He couldn't believe that something that simple could look so good on somebody.
She even had her braid weaved with a ribbon of the same dark green color.
