Prologue
"Next on the ice are Breanna Rodriguez and Gabriel Harrison!"
Mikan's hand was trembling while holding the hands of Natsume.
They were at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri competing in one of the most prestigious skating events of the season. They ranked 2nd in the sectionals qualifying competition that's why they're here in US Figure Skating Championships or Nationals. If luck is at their side then they'll be joining the US Team for winter Olympics at World Figure Skating Championships.
Natsume's eyes were asking Mikan if she was ready. Despite the fact of being nervous, she can't hide the feeling of being happy because Natsume's eyes were directly at her.
She squeezed his had ad replied, "This is it! Let's show them what we've got!"
She wore a maroon velvet costume with gold trimmings that only covered the upper portion of her thighs while Natsume wore black fitted pants with matching loose flowing white shirt.
While waiting for the music to play, she gazed at Natsume's handsome face one more time and took a deep breath. When she heard the first note of A Time For Us which is a theme song of Romeo And Juliet, her nervousness was taken away and she was absorbed by the music. She skated confidently and Natsume's reassuring touch made her accomplish jumps and spins effortlessly.
They're almost done with their performance without having a mistake, they're now doing the pairs sit spin wherein they are facing each other and Natsume is holding her lower back part while they both need to turn. They all need to do the triple twist wherein Nastume will raise her up and let her go then she'll turn for three times and Natsume would catch her again. They are thankful that they did it properly.
Despite the fact that they are at the center of the rink, they can't help but hug each other because of the routine they had perfected and was well made.
"What an unbelievable performance! I'm pretty sure they'll grab the first place this time!" the commentator stated.
She unconsciously covered her mouth, Natsume held her. They can't hide the happiness they were feeling. He hugged her tightly. When he let go, he automatically kissed her in front of the national television.
"I can't believe this, Polka! We actually won!"
when they started pairing up four years ago, he used Polka as her nickname.
He just kissed me!
She heard the warning bells in her head, telling her not to expect too much. She was deliriously happy to pay attention to those thoughts that's why she can't help but think that there is a meaning on why he did that.
"We're actually going to Torino!" she stated. She was thrice happy because she shared her triumph with Natsume and the kiss he gave her was another reason to celebrate.
