Chapter 3
Break down
Yuri never notice how beautiful the dawn look in the morning, it shined through the clouds creating a myriad of colours. Yuri had noticed the view as he began to walk towards the arena where the competition was being held. Otabek had offered to drive him but yuri had refused, hoping the walk to the rink would relax his nerves. He was getting worked up over nothing, it was a simple competition to celebrate the opening of the arena it would not effect his career in the slightest but it sat heavy on the young boys mind. Yet Yuri continue to put one foot in front of the other slowly making his way towards the skating rink.
By the time he got there otabek had already arrived
"I could of given you a lift" frowned the taller boy, clearly worried by Yuri behaviour
The smaller boy shrugged as he began to pull his skates out of his tiger printed bag.
The Kazakhstani boy gave Yuri a concerned look before leaving the boy to change, it was going to be a long day.
~later~
Otabek had just finished his routine and it was soon Yuri's turn to skate, he'd spent the last few minutes watching otabek perform admiring the older boy strength, Sure otabek had fluffed his last jump but he still performed beautiful and yuri was confident that his friend would score well. As he began to skate to the centre of the the small yuri couldn't shake off the tight feeling in his chest but he ignored it and took his starting position. The music wafted through the air it was a remix of the song "don't panic", yuri didn't have a choice since the challenge of the contest was to work with a song of the judges choice but still it was a beautiful song, it had sad and panicking undertones yet was some how peaceful, yuri loved the song. He slowly lifted his head and began to turn and show a slow grace that only yuri had, he sled across the ice rapidly increasing his pace spinning himself as the music started to rises. He continued to jump and spin as the music climaxed capturing the gases of the many judges on looking his performance. He was in his own really and as the music slowed to a stop, the small boy looked up showing eyes full with peace even though his made was filled with anxiety.
As he left the ice otabek walk over to yuri with the intention to complement his friends performance but with a glimpse of the Russian face he new something was wrong. Yuri's shoulders were frigid and his face was pale, the close he got to the boy the otabek realised was wrong, his breathing was stressed and fast. He took Yuri's hand and pulled him in to the locker room.
Yuri couldn't breathe, his chest was tight and his mind instantly filled with panic, he couldn't stop his rapid breathing the more he thought about it the worse it got. He was on the verge of tears when a familiar hand tuged him into the locker room way from the publics eye.
"Breath yura" otabek began to rub slow circles in to Yuri's back as a attempt at comforting the panic riddled teen
"Relax"
Otabek look at yuri and instantly feeling his heart break. Yuri was hunch over clutching his chest, his pale blonde hair was a mess covering his porcelain face.
Otabek pushed the boys hair out of the way
"Don't worry yura, I'm here" the taller boy was worried, trying to keep his tone relax but his concern was there. Yuri breathing slowed and the small boy raised his head to otabek
"I sorry" Yuri's face was tear stained
"I didn't mean to.." Otabek cut him off by pulling the poor boy in to his chest "It's okay yura". Yuri buried his face in too otabek chest taking comfort in the pattern of his breathing
"It's okay"
The two boy stayed hidden in the room for some time, hiding in silence.
Yuri had broken down and only otabek knew.
