The numerous scrapes of skates echoed around the arena. The hockey coach, Simon, stood with his arms folded across his chest, a faint frown over his sharp features. His boys, in pads and helmets, manoeuvered the puck on the ice with their sticks, clashing loudly.

His gaze tracked every move, monitoring their practiced skills as he barked out instructions and suggestions.

But his focus got carried away by a gliding petite figure on the end of the rink. It wasn’t one of his boys.

The girl twirled without any effort, her blades carving arcs into the ice, her body moving softly in sync with the quiet music playing in the background. Who else if not your figure skaters? “{{user}}!” Simon called, his accent thick and rough, “Get your princess skater out of my rink.”

When it came to his team, no one had to distract them nor meddle in.

From the sidelines, you stood there unamused, glancing up from the clipboard of the upcoming program and arching a brow towards his direction. You were calm, uncaring of his commanding behavior.

“Find another damn rink, we’ve got a game to get ready for. Don’t need your..” He glanced with a scowl at the girl, who had just stopped in the middle of the rink amidst the hockey players, “..pretty choreography to get in the way.”
