p data-p-id="1c20c2b6280fcbc17c5296ffff954e57"As heartbreaking as it was, Levi actually stayed away like yesterday didn't happen; he didn't even glance in his direction. All the teammates were shocked seeing as Levi had even stopped just skating back and forth during practice, and was actually going through his routines until the point he was out of breath. Then there was Eren who was practicing less on his jumps; he suddenly was starting to look passionate while skating, his team members were betting money that he had gotten some for the first time./p
p data-p-id="34d724a932b5efce983d815d071e4cca"On the inside both of the men were dying, Levi was dancing his pain away, while Eren was absorbing himself in winning to the point he was barely sleeping./p
p data-p-id="ca09024189fef887f38a9d065f3ba59d"The coach was most astonished; a rare emotion for someone who has seen damn near everything on and off the ice. It had been a 4 'o'clock in the morning kind of practice when Coach Steyinysk came into the rink, she was already set up in her view point when her couple of students came in. She had cussed under her breath exclaiming that she must need new glasses; until she realized that her eyes didn't fail her, and that in fact the first skater on the ice, was indeed Levi./p
p data-p-id="5eded5c9f5b29d3d9a986a9a5f981fff"Levi hadn't been first to the rink for practice since he was still a junior skater who had yet to taste a winning streak. She initially thought it was Eren, he was normally the first one occupying the rink and shouting a giddy 'Hello Coach Steyinysk' always fumbling over her name with his Hawaiian accent./p
p data-p-id="62639ae5180b4e3e5d3af5f3f13ca3ad"But now he came in second behind Levi, instantly jumping on the ice with no words of greeting to his Coach, he just started skating with a sexual half lidded look on his tan face./p
p data-p-id="b447d15f6083694213ec4e1dfc651517"Coach was so heart stricken by the change in the atmosphere; she failed to notice her whole team come until 20 minutes later./p
p data-p-id="936428997016d2b2e3a2c2710b57e5f6"Over the next three months there was nothing but tension between the two male skaters, as well as countless hours practicing on and off the ice. Levi now went from two jumps in his routine to having six jumps, a number, if all jumps are completed correctly, would secure him in first place no matter what. But he was up against the new Eren, who was sucking up his points for creativity and style, as well as landing all five jumps in his program./p
p data-p-id="764ec85094c22aa661768d3c99e22ced"Unbeknown to Levi, Eren and had taken up on his advice. Eren had been taking ballet lessons to improve his balance, hold poses longer while spinning, and strengthen his confidence when dancing. His theme for the year was: 'burning hot passion'. He choose his short program song to be 'The Music of the Night' from the movie Phantom of the Opera, and his free skate song to be 'El Mariachi' by Antonio Banderas. The way he moved resembled the passion of two tango dancer's, his movements were a mix of slow and fast paced, it drew in the eye to follow his body in new ways, Then there were the sultry looks, lip biting, and inviting smile he added, now everyone was scared for the passion Eren possessed./p
p data-p-id="ac7f641d71988793429c3daa2b757830"The only person not truly scared of Kia, was Leo. When he wasn't on the ice, the seven times gold winning Olympic figure skater was balled up on his queen sized bed. He would have his silk sheets pulled over his head, and he would watch Eren skating on his phone until he had watched all the videos they offered. He had never been rejected, he was Levi, King of the Rink, Reminder of some of the most hypnotizing dance routines; but right now, he is the pathetic figure skater who had his gay crush deny him. He couldn't imagine life could get any worse than it was right now, next thing you know he will be losing to other skater's./p
p data-p-id="7a0e76c69dd3d0754062d56efdfbc02e"It was a Wednesday, one week before the Grand Prix Final, only Levi, and Eren made it for the men's single, Albert and Anastasia for Pair Skate, and Anya, Dina, and Julia were for the women's single. Eren had been rolling his ankles in circles with his eyes closed, he was attempting to release some tension from his sore ankles when Levi walked in. He had stopped and stared longingly at the small and slender back of Eren's body, before he turned and started to change into his day clothes, a few benches away from Eren./p
p data-p-id="8d7932c45d2b8d682748f42a51746245""Bye Levi, Bye Eren" Albert said on his way to leave the locker room./p
p data-p-id="a78bd427360f0245bcdca8fc0f919a51""Bye bye Albert" Said Levi with a happy thick Russian accent./p
p data-p-id="1fc95616ace941de2912f51d28c4d962"Eren's bright green eyes had hurriedly turned towards where Levi and Albert were./p
p data-p-id="730e3e59d2de253810161f63e9386a78""G-g-goodbye A-albert" Eren said stuttering like a foolish child./p
p data-p-id="0573674b2b4570fd88030f383ac6c7c3"Albert grunted in acknowledgement before leaving the two skater's alone, for the first time since the ice rink months ago./p
p data-p-id="3711bddee9cd3482b2b3be7bfd8761aa"Eren had gotten up from the bench slipping into his shoes, he felt awkward with Levi. He threw his bag over his shoulder before turning towards the exit in Levi's direction./p
p data-p-id="3fc5d461f5513c964fe8443e7c3158b9"A slap sounded through the room, Levi had blocked the exit with his hand before Eren could reach it, now they were a mere foot away, the frustration was dripping off of them./p
p data-p-id="cb455ef2090a9721f104f4837dd5fec2""I won't let you leave again Eren" Levi said as he twisted the lock; his face read determination./p
p data-p-id="2e32bd8c6d78cea93f78a005b501891d"Eren was flustered looking up into those beautiful gray eyes, he wanted to know if Levi's black hair was as soft as it looked./p
p data-p-id="e1446a0e1e2bdb286b3b796bde2a130d""I know you want me, don't fight it Eren" Said Levi slowly leaning into Eren./p
p data-p-id="8ce18ccb511e2f487e99920c21745038"Eren attempted to back away, but Levi was quicker throwing his arms taut around Eren's waist; Eren blushed a beet red from his cheeks to his chest./p
p data-p-id="e05724364cd25e45465c16a8a4bce41b""Stop it Levi, this isn't right" Said Eren, his words came out breathlessly; Eren knew Levi wouldn't let him go./p
p data-p-id="64daa94ebc33fa235f77861dacd7b0cf"Levi felt as if he were holding the world's most precious jewel, he pulled Eren slightly closer, when Eren refused to look at him, he gently grasped his chin and turned it to his. Levi kept his eyes clasped tight as Levi's cool breath brushed over his lips; then Levi went in for the kill. He attached his lips to Eren, slowly massaging his lips first, he licked Eren's lip, asking for entrance that Eren refused to give. He bit Eren's lip and pulled him closer than before making Eren cry out from shock. Levi didn't stop attacking Eren's mouth until he was a red mess; his hair was sticking out, lips bruised, Whole face was red like a tomato, and he was breathless./p
p data-p-id="e74bf7a3ddb1605f87cf898921dd97aa""Here I come" said Levi going to open the door for their team members who had started making a ruckus over the locked door awhile ago./p
p data-p-id="c27fbad7f0709dd328cb51ced7697741"Eren was at a loss for words, even after Levi had unlocked the door for the rest of the team to come in and change. While Levi was caught up chatting with Alexander, Eren still red and a mess slipped out with his bag and started his quick jog back to his apartment./p
p data-p-id="5de01fa77a9f353d8f78794c5537f4f4"Levi was disappointed to find Eren had taken off before Levi could finish what he had planned in his head for weeks. Levi was thinking about some kind of a grand gesture for his beautiful Eren, even if Eren did not believe he was Levi's, he most definitely was. He knows there is still plenty to learn about the younger male, but he is definitely at an age where he wants to start up a family, even if that may be with another male./p
p data-p-id="1086170d1570e77b9a5fdee72f00d723"The fans were pouring in from every direction of the airport; all of the skater's were totally jet-lagged, but still made time for their supporters. This year's grand Prix was being held in Australia, the team was excited seeing as nobody had been there. Eren had been taking pictures with a few girls when coach made up an excuse to get her team to the hotel. The Lacerago Hotel was 5 star and fully paid for, Eren was dying to soak in their luxurious hot spring ./p
p data-p-id="87cae7f7b7d9007a494aa6d43d784b59"He checked into room 923, closing his door he flipped the lights to reveal a beautiful room; all white, clean and spacious. He could also see a breathtaking view of the ocean from where he was on the north side of the hotel, he rested his head on the window peering out. He sank to the white carpet dead on his feet as the exhaustion and realization had finally sunk in 'he was at the Grand Prix Final, just like his father'./p
p data-p-id="111bb4633aa5aefda5347728c45a7aef"He let out a little chuckle still curled in the window like a baby. He had received a lot of jokes from the team about his new form of dancing; Ranging from 'someone lost their virginity' to 'where can I buy sexiness like that'. Soon enough Eren had drifted off into a peaceful sleep on the warm window seal above the wonderful Australia view./p
p data-p-id="6942309b28eadc9e576ba6f21f5e56ca"It was 6 'o'clock at night in Australia when Eren woke up to the sunset shining brightly in his eyes, he adjusted his eyes a few times before uncurling out of the window. After Eren stowed away all of his clothes, he got of his speedo shorts to try out the hot spring on his floor. He was happy to discover it was just he in the ninth floor spring. Eren laid his hotel robe over a close chair and lowered himself into the heavenly hot water; it flowed over his muscles like god's hands were laying on his sore muscles. He closed his eyes floating nearly under the water for a few minutes before there was an annoying splash to the right of him./p
p data-p-id="be1b4f8ff3fb0691789a931115381099""Eren" said Levi dragging out his name for the fun of annoying him./p
p data-p-id="026753e401a04f6e49a1885d545eaaa2""Le-Levi" Eren greeted back already feeling his face heat up from more than just the spring, Levi was only in his only spandex and looking very yummy./p
p data-p-id="c589f98c21b76950904082a4cbcc7185""Where have you been, it's like you were hiding for me" said Levi./p
p data-p-id="2ae11dc5ccc5660e0597f06f6b21b1b3"It was true Eren had stayed as far away from Levi as he possibly could, on the rink he stayed on opposing sides, in the locker room Eren would hide until he was sure Levi was gone, and even on the plane Eren sat as far from Levi as he could, but he wasn't planning to admit that./p
p data-p-id="de7616dd74883e9ff2a38b9e0614e9e1""Levi, I told you once before we can't be together, it's dis-" Eren was cut off by Levi kissing him senselessly once again, it was quick, but no less embarrassing./p
p data-p-id="b7c3aa3b83ed2f4259dae220d5b761d9"Levi pulled away only to get on Eren's ear./p
p data-p-id="3b58fa83c8f4e30246debd2c64771f1b""Eren, listen to me love, I know what this about, you don't want to loose the Final, but surely one night of letting loose won't hurt you, all you do is practice, don't you think you deserve a break."/p
p data-p-id="602cf24970c90eb87c3d5d69ac86e4cf""Are you crazy, this is my first time making it this far, don't tell me you honestly believe I have time for a relationship, just quit already, I'm not up for grabs."/p
p data-p-id="7798746efe0db671896c77b18168f2cc"Levi made his defiant face before tilting his head and smirking. Eren's heart was racing, he already knew Levi being the devil he was, was most likely going to attack him in kisses once more. But Levi did not, he just hugged Kia, tenderly and gently; Kia's heart was aspartic now./p
p data-p-id="9f878c4218e99a35550926bacdbac9f8""Then just hold me Kia, that's it, all I want is you." Levi said softly in his ear, he was as venerable sounding as he was at the rink./p
p data-p-id="595edac9dc270d79bf328703dece3279"Eren wrapped his lanky arms around Levi gently and rested his head on his chest, he wanted to scream at Levi once he had taken and wrapped Eren's legs around his waist, but at this point Eren could care less; he was being held by his Levi so tenderly he could not bring himself to protest./p
p data-p-id="5e8bec3af4762f9fb9f96542f4a20213""Tell me about yourself Eren, I want to know whatever you can tell me" said Levi leaning their bodies on one on the reclining parts in the spring./p
p data-p-id="7c911553d6025aef9ad6898748f51300"Though he hesitated Eren decided to tell Levi of himself, he started with Hawaii of course, how much he missed surfing and his parents, then he talked about his dad, a touchy topic he rarely went on about, he went on about his dreams to become as good a skater as his father once was, even revealed the tragic plane crash his parents died in coming back from a Grand Prix Final together. He talked until he had fallen over slumped in Levi's strong arms no longer able to function. Levi had listened diligently for the last hour or so, he soaked up every detail of Eren's life and body. When Eren had fallen into a slumber, Levi carried both of them out of the springs, especially when a few strangers came to enjoy the springs./p
p data-p-id="5b64f5ba057d2c8082dedba625bf1968"Originally Levi was going to wake his sleeping brunette, but he decided he wanted to enjoy him awhile longer; with his hotel robe draped over Eren, he worked his way to room 945 where he resided. It was all white and clean with gold accents, he sighed watching Eren before setting him on a chair, since he didn't want to get the bed wet. No matter how much he wanted to peek Levi didn't as he stripped Eren of his speedo and into one of his white sweaters, it engulfed his smaller frame and made him look like an adorable child. Levi slid into a pair of silk pants before placing him and Levi in the soft bed; Levi stifled a laugh upon hearing Eren sigh heavily In his sleep once placed in bed. Levi pulled Eren as close as he comfortably could before falling into a deep slumber./p
p data-p-id="9f2040952b33d75b74197287ac8b6815"Eren was very angry to find himself in Levi's arms that night and rushed out of the bed before he was awake, he was down in his own room. The male free skate was due to start in less than and hour and Eren was beyond nervous. He had taken a quick shower already, tamed his hair straight back into his new signature style, and slide into his costume. Upon arrival he was actually the last one to arrive at the rink. He came in with 132.9 as his short program score, a personal best for him, the highest was 178.7 set by Levi./p
p data-p-id="f7d164a22840c779c3d490739190dbe4"The next day had been the final event, men's Free skate. Eren was dressed in the pink suit from that day at the rink with Levi, there was a kind of friendly competition between them, though Eren was not happy about Levi's bed trick, he couldn't seem to find himself angry. Levi put on a stunning performance landing each jump and giving him a high score of 306.9 in total at the end topping everyone so far. Eren though wonderful and captivating only totaled at 301.0, his highest score yet, he did not win the Grand Prix, Levi did; but for sure he won something even better. /p
