I Live to Skate With You

Chapter 1: Prodigy

There's an old saying my late grandma taught me. When you're ten, they call you a prodigy. When you're fifteen, they call you a genius. Once you hit twenty, you're just an ordinary person.

-Haruka Nanase

Age 10:

"Omi-Omiiii, take the gloves off," Atsumu whines.

"No Miya," Sakusa hisses, "I don't know where your germy hands have been, and I'm not touching them without gloves."

A look of hurt that Sakusa couldn't quite understand flashes across Atsumu's face before he turns and skates over to his brother with a pout. Sakusa has been skating with the boy for 5 years as a pair, and at this point him pouting has become such a common occurrence that he just sighs and practices tricks. This time, however, the pouting spree lasted longer than usual and he was getting tired of it.

"Miya, get over here," he yelled, sighing as both of the twins turned around.

"The better twin," he tries again, watching as a pouting Atsumu pushes a confused Osamu over to him.

They just blink at each other for a bit until Sakusa finally realizes that everyone calls Osamu the better twin. Murmuring to himself he skates over and drags Atsumu back to the practice area.

"Omi, ya think I'm the better twin," Atsumu asks, eyes sparkling.

"Of course, 'Samu isn't my ice dance partner," he says, voice low as a blush creeps up his neck.

"Let's just go practice," he sighs, pulling a surprisingly compliant Atsumu along with him, although he does hear him mumble under his breath about Sakusa calling Osamu 'Samu and him Miya.

"Have fun with yer husband 'Tsumu!" Osamu yelled over.

"Shutup 'Samu!" Atsumu yelled back.

Turns out all their practicing paid off as they won gold. Their performance to may have been their best performance yet. All around he hears people calling them ice skating prodigies. Prodigies, what a silly word to mask all the effort we put in, he thinks to himself.
