Chapter 1 - Star
"Form!" My instructor yells and I tumble to the ground trying to do a quadruple toe loop. Yuri and Victor sigh and skated over to me and said to Crysta, "She shouldn't be doing a Quadruple toe loop." I stood up and brushed myself off. "I can do it." I said and Dia flies at me on her skates and we spin off into a wall. "Skyyy!" She chimes and Victor and Yuri look at me and her. "Honestly those two are very talented." Victor smiles and pinches Yuri, "They might be even better than you Yuuuuri!" Yuri grunts and smiles at his husband and pats his head and they skate off with each other. I sighed and Dia looked at me and pulls out her phone, "Look. Nico was skating this morning and he received a world record score!" She shows me his routine and I blinked, "Honestly. He is so young!" Dia looked at me and blinked, "He is 18…" Victor placed his hand on my shoulder and said, "He reminds me of Yuri… his manager reminds me of myself. Aaron was a world champion I think…" he stood up and tapped his chin and Yuri wrapped his arms around Victor. "Hey Victor?" Yuri said and Victor pokes Yuri's nose, "What?" Yuri looked at him and shrugged, "Oh nothing…" Victor blinks and shrugged and he skated away and did a routine. Yuri smiles and watched his husband and Dia just gawks at her phone. I looked over and she was staring at a performance of Nico's previous performance. "It's like you're in love with him." Dia looked at me and said, "You must be joking. He would kill me if I ever did." I raised an eyebrow, "Arthur or Nico?" Dia laughed and handed me the phone. "The one next to Nico… and maybe someone else besides my brother." I tipped my head, "William and Raven?" I frowned. Yuri and Victor whizz past and slam into Crysta and she huffed. Dia looked at them and then back at me and replied, "Why would I be worried about William? Anyways who the other person that i'm talking about is a secret." I nodded a bit sceptical and Crysta scolds the Yaoi couple. They gulped and bowed. Crysta sighed and she gets a call on her phone and she answered, "Hello? Oh hey darling… a huh… yeah… ok. Sure. Of course." She looks at Dia and said, "Your manager… er brother is outside." She said and put the phone back up to her ear and skated off. "Of course I am being careful…" her voice gets drowned out by the air conditioning. I looked back at Dia who was taking off her skates and Arthur stood next to her and and Crysta was heading over to meet her husband. I skated over and put the guards on my blades and looked at them. Arthur looked at me and smiled before looking at his sister. "Dia… you put your guards on wrong." Dia looked up and said, "You think I don't know that Arthur? I'm not a child." Arthur had his hands pocketed and he looked at his wife and Crysta said, "Where are the kids?" She tipped her head and Arthur looks away, "I left them in the car. I trust that Rey will take care of his brother." Crysta groaned and walked out, "You don't leave children in the car!" She shuts the door and Dia says, "You are the dumbest person in the world that I know sometimes." Arthur looks at her and said, "I am still new to having kids you know!" I huffed, "Your oldest is 10 years you know." He looked at me and said, "Aren't you supposed to be practicing?" I shrugged and he shook his head. Crysta comes back and had Akira on her hip. Rey walked in and Crysta hands Akira to her husband. Arthur looked at his son and Akira begins to cry. Crysta takes him back and looked at us dully, "I just can't get a rest!" She grumbles and Rey sat down and said, "He was fine in the car mom I was paying attention." He looks away and Crysta looked at her son and blinked, "I know but it's like twenty degrees!" Rey looked her, "Mom, the keys were in the car!" Arthur looks at his son, "Please don't argue with you mother!" Rey growls and turns his head away. I just stood there and said, "So… um Rey?" He looks up and raised an eyebrow, "You want to skate?" He grumbles and said, "Sure." He walks to the skate room and comes back with skates and put them on. He walks to the ice and started to skate. I walked back on and took off my guards and trailed after him. He looked angry at first then calmed down. "Honestly." He does a single toe loop and said, "My parents are annoying… they don't respect me." He said and skids to a stop and and I whizz past him and Victor catches my arm and said, "Woah there!" He smiles and Yuri sighed, "Victor I'm gonna head off the ice." He said and skated to the exit and Victor waved to Rey and followed his husband off.
Crysta looked at me from across the table and said, "You sure are quiet…" I looked at her and blinked, "Hmm?" I tipped my head and she sets down her fork. Crysta sighed and said, "I know you well… something is bothering you." I sighed, "Maybe because I hate seeing people fight? Exceptionally my own aunt." I sighed and Crysta stood up and leaves. She looked kinda panicked and I frowned. "Huh." Rey looks at me and said, "She's been ill these past months even though she seems fine after wards…" he said and swung his legs while Akira patted the table. I sighed, Probably a virus… I then looked at Rey who was eating his pancake and Crysta returns, "Urk." She groaned and Rey looks at her and said, "You ok mom?" Crysta nods and sat down, "So. Rey, how are you?" Arthur comes in from outside and leans down and kissed Crysta's cheek and pats her shoulder. Crysta stood up and pulls him out of the kitchen and Dia looked at me and shrugs.
