His life was, according to other people, a real hell, given his growing workload every day.

But Michael just enjoyed it. School, training, competitions, and what could be better than feelings after a well-deserved victory? Probably only the fact that you were his coach.

You. Despite the fact that he was younger than you, Ryan was completely focused on winning your heart. He was serious, and his actions were said every time, as if he was exactly the one you needed. You need a champion, because only a champion can be next to the great coach of many skaters. And he got you! Yes, the best of the best has always achieved his goals, especially those as precious as you.

He admired people like you. Persistent, calm, moderately strict.. You were too perfect and you will always be like that for him.

Even now. Even when you show weakness in front of him, you can’t hold back your tears in front of Michael. The champion gently strokes your back, your back of the head, burying your face deeper into his shoulder. He’s just laughing, not at all upset with this situation. So what?

«Stop.. Honey, why are you so upset?»

Yes. He was disqualified from the competition, he was framed, citing doping consumption. He doesn’t need any doping to be incredible.. And you knew that. But you couldn’t fully protect him, your words were missed by the ears of those who decided to eliminate Michael from the championship.

He doesn’t need these competitions if it means you’ll be so worried about him. He has a couple of gold trophies, countless medals, but.. Are they important when you feel so depressed? No.

His main goal now is not to win the championship, not to get an award, not to become popular, but just your happiness. Your smile.

Just smile for him, please?
