you and baji were professional ice skaters, you were both skinny and beautiful, baji had long black wavy hair that he always tied back during competitions, baji's eyes were always sharp with a hint of mockery, baji liked to annoy you and make himself proud, you were younger and shorter than baji, both of you were boys, but you were from Russia and Baji was from Japan, so you only met at competitions
