Hello again everyone, I'm back with another request! For everyone wishing to make a request, please, do! I'm thrilled you guys want to see more of my writing! This was the first fic I got with a plot (kinda) with it, so I'm excited for this too! Also I looked up ship names for them and it's apparently Cinnabun? I think it's adorable. Correct me if I'm wrong please. Violet and Yatsuashi are dating in this already.

Velvet shivered slightly in her bathing suit. The smell of chlorine hung heavy in the air, but she was not claimed by it as per usual. In fact, this time, her anxiety was only amplified the longer she stood here. The pool tiles were slick under her feet, and the eyes of hundreds of thousands were watching her for her last dive.

Only one set of eyes mattered, though. They were following her just as closely as everyone else, but they were the ones she cared about. He was really the whole reason she was there in the first place. He was the reason she would be getting gold tonight. She had to.

Her boyfriend Yatsuashi had lost both of his legs in an accident two years ago. They had been dating for five. He had been confined to a wheelchair ever since that night. However, this hadn't stopped him from encouraging her to follow her dreams, and push herself to an Olympic level, and now she knew what she was going to do with this gift. She was going to buy her boyfriend his legs.

Her hands tightened on the ladder as a surge of determination went through her. She only had to perfect this dive to get the gold, and the money would be hers, hers and Yatsuashi's. It would all go towards his new legs. The muscles in her own legs tightened as she went up and up the tall ladder. Finally, she stood overlooking the pool, the bluish translucent color rippling slightly.

Bracing herself as she did, she slowly walked to the edge of the board. She could hear the announcer's muddy voice calling her name, her country (Canada), and finally, her dive. She could practically hear the murmurs, skeptical, to say the least.

She hesitated once more, locking eyes with Yatsuashi, who was sitting in his wheelchair just gazing at her with adoration and pride. Her coach, Coco, stood next to him, her lips a thin line, her arms crossed. She knew what Violet was about to attempt.

Violet winked at them, and with a tiny smile, she jumped. She pushed off the board with surprising force, throwing herself all into the reversed somersault and a half, and pushing through the four twists as she did so. She worked through the entire dive in its completion before she felt herself submerged in the cold water.

For a moment, she lay suspended there, before kicking her way once again to the lighter blueness. When she broke the surface, gasping, she was met by cheers. Briefly, she tread water, her eyes searching for the ladder, before she swam over to it and stepped out.

Almost immediately, she was wrapped in a towel. She walked at a reasonable pace (no running on the pool deck) over to Coco and Yatsuashi. "How did I do?" She asked excitedly.

Yatsuashi's eyes sparkled as he did his best to pull her into a hug. "You were amazing," He whispered, keeping their foreheads touching a moment longer. "So amazing."

She blushed lightly at all of the praise, then turned to Coco, a bundle of nerves.

"I do believe that that was an adequate dive to retire on, let alone get you first." Coco's smile was huge as she hugged her fiercely as well.

"Well, that's good, seeing as I have this ring right here, if you'll take it." Yatsuashi's voice startled her, and Violet thought she'd heard him incorrectly at first.

"What?" She turned to him in confusion, her eyes widening and filling slightly with tears as she took in the sight before her- Yatsuashi wasn't quite down on one knee, but he was holding the small, velvet covered box up to her. Inside of it glinted a simple golden band with a small diamond. It was nothing special, but in that moment, it seemed more beautiful than any gold medal.

"Yes," she breathed out, and smashed her lips into his. There were ripples of cheering from the crowd as they did, and Violet looked up just in time to see the scores switch as her last dive was added, putting her solidly in first place.

She tuned it all out as she kissed Yatsuashi again. It couldn't get much better than this.

BONUS:

"Come on!" Violet giggled as she waded further into the water, pulling her tall fiance behind her. He took shaky, uneven steps still, even weeks after getting his new legs, but he was improving.

Yatsuashi felt himself begin to float a little more as the water took on some of his weight, and he tentatively began to tread water.

Violet watched him closely, nervous that he would falter, but instead, he seemed quite at ease, a small smile tugging at the corners of his usually frowning lips. She watched as he kicked with more confidence, and smiled even wider. His eyes met hers, and they both froze for a moment, lost in each other's eyes.

"I love you." It was quiet, as most words he spoke had been since the accident were, but Violet could tell that there was nothing else he could have said that meant more than that.

"I know." She smiled softly as she gazed at him adoringly, watching him try out a few more experimental strokes, and upon finding that he could move fairly easily, splashing around a little more.

It wasn't long before she joined in, their laughter intermingling as they swam around each other.
