### Ilya and Hideo

Today is an off-day for Ilya, and Ilya being Ilya he decided to spend the entire day at the rink. The hockey players weren't here today so that's a huge relief. He really doesn't want to end up bickering with his father's ducklings again because a.) waste of time and b.) he can't write fast enough. Right now, Ilya is near the tail end of a routine, his last run before he has to take a break.

Whenever Hideo wasn't struggling through trying to learn chemical engineering or studying, he could more than likely be found at the rink. Today was no exception. It had been about a week since he was able to find enough free time in order to actually get out to the rink so it was already shaping up to be a good day. As he got there and saw Ilya on the ice, Hideo set his bag down and decided instead to watch the other's routine. Figure skating was always beautiful to watch for Hideo, and while he enjoyed doing it himself there was always something special about watching the routines others were able to come up with. It being Ilya was a pure coincidence, and Hideo was happy to watch the other on the ice.

Ilya remains unaware of the new spectator as he goes through the final steps. He finishes with a flourish and a smile as Ilya realises he finished the routine with almost no mistake. The smile grows when he finally notices Hideo on the side, his legs moving by themselves to carry him over to the other. Once Ilya was directly in front of the barrier separating him and Hideo, he waved enthusiastically at Hideo as a greeting. It would've been better if he was able to talk, a small part of him wished, but he pushed it aside.

Watching Ilya perform was just about the highlight of Hideo's day, and it brought a genuine smile to his face when he not only saw the other content with their routine but then when it grew as he saw Hideo himself. If there wasn't glass separating them, Hideo might have even pulled the other into a *"friendly"* hug. Waving back as he moved closer to the glass, leaning against it so every time he exhaled his breath left small foggy circles on the glass. "That was beautiful Ilya." He responded, knowing the other couldn't give a verbal response but just wanting him to hear exactly what Hideo thought.

His smile turns shy and a dusting of pink settles on his cheeks at the compliment. Compliments from Hideo just really hit different, y'know? Ilya hurries over to the bleachers and settles down beside Hideo. He procures a notepad and a pen seemingly from nowhere and begins to write down what he couldn't express through body language. *'Thank you! I got inspired by mama's old and incomplete programs papa keeps and I wanted to see if I could finish one for her in time for her birthday. Do you think she'd like it?'*

Hideo showed massive control not getting all outwardly giddy when Ilya came over to him, control that even surprised himself. As he watched intently while Ilya wrote down on his notepad, he found himself leaning in closely to the other male. "I think she'll love it Ilya, how could she not?" He said rhetorically. "After all it's perfect, and it probably comes from a special place in her heart, getting to see you perform one of her old programs would be something she'd love seeing."

He flusters again at Hideo's words. Dear Lord the effect this man has on him. It's very deadly. *'I wouldn't say perfect though! I'm nowhere near mama's skill and there's still flaws in the program I have to smoothen over. But thank you for your words! You always know what to say to cheer me up!* The excessive exclamation points is horrendous, but there wasn't any other way he could convey his feelings properly. Stupid messed up vocal cords...
