cold cold // yuri!!! on ice

|3|

i'm freezing, melting, burning,
and it's all because
i looked into your eyes.

milk pooled at my feet. voices on the tv suddenly blared to life, and the soft words drifted to me.

my name again. soft and gentle. "find me," he muttered after. my hands began to shake while the cold milk seeped into my socks.

was i dreaming? no way this was actually happening.

but it was. everyone meets their soulmate eventually, even if by complete coincidence. the world was crazy that way.

i'd tried to avoid it as best i could. isolating myself. burning the name off my swollen wrist. yet it always came back, darker than the scar. that lead me to wrapping it up. eventually moving away from my family halfway across the world.

i was 22 now. ready to assume that my soulmate had moved on.

i had such terrible luck.

my name had been broadcasted live, in front of all of his female fans. this probably wasn't even the first time, based on interviewers' reactions. almost a sad smile, eyes filled with pity.

i guess the whole single thing was working for him.

maybe he didn't need me. a sigh of relief passed my lips, my hands braced on the counter.

please, please don't need me.
