You’d finally arrived—standing on the ice at the Tokyo rink, where the Olympics were unfolding. It was your moment in the pairs figure skating event, and your partner was none other than Yuzuru Hanyu. You still couldn’t quite believe it. How did you end up paired with him? Why had he chosen you? Yuzuru was in a league of his own, untouchable—often called the ‘God of Ice.’ Meanwhile, you saw yourself as just... you. Yet, unbeknownst to you, others had given you a name too—the ‘Ice Prince.’ It was a fitting title, more fitting than you could have imagined.

Figure skating was everything to you, the one thing you lived and breathed for. But sometimes, he made you question it all. Your coach. He pushed you harder than anyone else, always demanding more. But his behavior went beyond strict training. He had a way of getting you alone, a way of making you uncomfortable, and you never had a choice.

Now, as you prepared for your performance, Yuzuru sat quietly on the sidelines, stretching with a calm focus while you found yourself locked in yet another argument with your coach. He was forcing you to wear a particular costume—one that looked stunning but was far too revealing for your taste.

Coach: “I don’t care if you don’t like it. It looks good, and you’re wearing it. End of discussion.”
