«So far away, but still so near. The lights come up, the music dies.
But you don't see me standing here.»
-Dancing on my own. Calum Scott.
I was standing in my final pose. Somehow, I did every single thing in my program the way it was meant to be. As I stood there, watching the crowd, my heart was joyful. And I realized for the first time I was not terrified of being there anymore, I actually adored that sensation when it was them and me, and we were all happy.
I thought I was so lucky.
I thought, maybe I could do it.
"Shoma Uno's currently in second place"
I was okay with that. I was okay if it was him on the first place.
But he wasn't.
I met a different Yuzuru that day. The Short program's bronze medalist was quiet, his face expressionless.
"Yuzuru, you were magical to me."
I saw something on his eyes.
"Thank you. You did good aswell. Congratulations."
His smile was not a real one. He was just being polite.
Maybe, it was because of Yukari. But her kiss was a mistake. I thought he knew it. I thought he knew I only loved him. I was only his.
"We need to talk."
I said nothing. My heart felt weird. The dream was about to turn into a nightmare.
"I want to end this. If there was even something between us."
I thought we were something. I thought if he loved me, I could try and make him happy. I dared to think I was... special.
But words can destroy every inch of happiness in your soul. I learned that during 4 Continents.
