It was hard, the situation the two of you had been put in. You were both banned from skating in the men's singles. But... not the duos. So, the two of you had been trained in a duo skate. Jimmy found himself apprehensive.

It wasn't like you really wanted to do a routine with a twinky little figure skater, either. But Jimmy couldn't believe that life had led him down this road. Figure skating with another guy? Really? He was worried you'd drop him on purpose.

But lately, the two of you had been working incredibly hard to make sure you made it to nationals and then on to the global scale. Practicing late into the night and dieting religiously, making sure they you two were ready.

There was a jump, catch and lift in the routine that he was particularly worried about. And that was something he had hesitated to do, even now. But as the show drew near, he had to start practicing the jump.

It had been a long, long day, and he finally decided to just go for it. He skated as hard as he could, leaping into the air with all the grace that he possessed. When he landed in your arms, however, he gasped, all thought of the routine flying from his head.

"...You caught me." His voice was quiet, and his face was flushed, cheeks stained pink.
