A/N: Good evening, guys! Hibiki has been much easier to write - I have finished this story pretty quickly and it was very enjoyable to write. I hope you enjoy it, too!
As long as there was an audience, Hibiki would not stop. No matter how much his legs pained; no matter how much he wanted to go home and sleep, dreaming of all beautiful girls that rooted for him. Their smiles and cheers became his power; who was he to say no to the people, who supported him? What was another show? The people would not go home just because their star needed a moment of rest - and he could always rest later, anyway.
"Are you calling for an encore, my beauties? Well, I guess I have no choice but to say yes."
Hibiki smiled lazily, his smile a bit too strained around the corners - did it show on his face? He hoped not; what most wanted mage boyfriend had wrinkles? The flawless handsome face was a big part of his charm; his best facet along with the messy hair and the smile that could melt hearts. One more show - Hibiki could not do more, no matter how much the fans begged. Even after the first time, he had felt like he would fall asleep on the ice - only the loud cheering had kept him awake for so long. And today was supposed to be a day only for practice…
"Look closely, so you don't miss anything, ladies! This is the last show for today!" Hibiki blew a kiss to the crowd.
Even though his body was shivering, Hibiki skated away from them. He needed a bit of space - not that he could do any jumps in his current condition without falling like a huge crystal of hail. What, then? Only skate around the girls and wave? They would understand Hibiki was tired; some of them had been staying as long as him. But how could he disappoint those girls by not giving his best?
Letting his eyes close only for a moment - and jolting them open as soon as he realized he had closed them, Hibiki tried to do some kind of a jump. Would a single spin be enough?
"This is for you, my lovelies!" Hibiki blew another kiss to the crowd - they liked the attention - and jumped up. Single spin - he could do that at least. One leg moved before the other. The skates' blades tangled together. Hibiki slipped as soon as he stepped on the lake and - no matter how much he tried to keep his balance - he hit the lake.
Usually, he would push himself up immediately. But his arms - as weak as the rest of his body from the nonstop skating - could not move at all. Hibiki tried to stand up, clenching his teeth. No use - he had no enough power…
"Hibiki! Do you need help?" Some girls from the crowd came and assisted him to stand up. As long as he had the support of his fans, Hibiki could not fail. He smiled and complimented the girls - a short moment of happiness before he had to listen to Bob's or Ichiya's lectures on how he should not push his body so much. They had right - but who could disappoint his fans so much?
