Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"I remember that you don't seem to have a favorite flower, so I can only buy some tulips I like every time I go, and plant them in your flower garden. But they don't seem to adapt to the soil there and don't like it there Even if I take good care of them before I go, they will always be all thankful the next time I go. So I really hope... the day you come back will be when I'm still around. That way, you can see the tulips I planted for you."

Listening to those words from the heart without embellishment, even people who have never met before will be moved by Freire, not to mention that they have known each other for many years and have many shared wonderful memories, and because And what about Qingyue, who was filled with guilt.Feeling Freire's breath on his neck, Qing Yue couldn't help closing his eyes, and turned his head to the other side.

At this moment... He couldn't hold back his tears when he heard that beautiful voice that could sing heart-pounding flamenco songs and always comforted himself in countless late nights.

Freire continued to whisper in Qingyue's ear as if he hadn't noticed anything.It was as if the soft veil that separated him from Qing Yue had completely disappeared at this moment.Freire finally had the opportunity to express his deeply buried feelings, right in Qingyue's ears.

"Do you remember the first time we met? At that time you were wearing a red scarf and white clothes. You looked very cute and pure. But at that time I just took one more look at you. It really made me What I noticed about you was the quadruple jump at the World Youth Championships. At that time, you were honestly a little clumsy in your skills, but I could feel your love for figure skating from your performance, and your love for it Enthusiasm. At that time... I was fascinated by you. So, after that, I was really surprised to see you in the VIP appreciation room of the show, and I was even more indescribably happy."

"you……"

It seemed that because of his throat being choked, Qingyue seemed to be having so much difficulty pronouncing this simple word sound, and his voice... became hoarse.

Hearing that Qing Yue, who was still angry with him before, finally gave a response, Freire was stunned for a while, and then he propped up his upper body a little more.This just right distance allowed him to see the tears on Qing Yue's face.At this moment, with trembling hands, he slightly supported the back of Qingyue's head with his arms that hadn't been frozen stiff, and gently brushed the soft hair that was glued to the side face by the silently falling tears with his fingers. Gathered, and then gently kissed the shallow tear in his sight.

When Frere's lips slowly touched the skin at the corners of his eyes, Qing Yue could clearly hear Frere's incessant panting, and even...a heavy heartbeat.

Until Freire's lips touched Qingyue's skin, under the protection of Planden's light in the figure skating world... Xishu, the former figure skating genius, finally heard the other party's sudden sigh of relief sound.

"I... I have always liked you, Qingyue. Ever since I saw you jump out of that quadruple jump at the World Youth Championship, I thought I might have liked you. Until today, the love for you This relationship can no longer be described by simple liking. You have always been the most special one to me.

Until now, I still remember when I taught you how to play the drums in my father's dance troupe, I held your hand and taught you how to play the drums.Actually that time I did it on purpose.In fact, I was very flustered at that time, worried that you would find out that I wanted to get close to you on purpose.But you, a dull guy, didn't notice it until the last time you left.

Not telling you at that time... I like you may be the biggest failure of my life.During the years you have been with Alek, I have been asking myself, if at that time I dragged you and said, stay with me, give me a chance to go to the top of the world with you, As a lover.Then...would everything be different? "

Hearing these words, Qing couldn't help but widen his eyes.Feeling that Freire's breath was getting weaker and weaker, he couldn't help propping up his body to check Freire's situation and see how he was doing.But at this moment, Qing Yue couldn't push away Freire, who shouldn't be much stronger than him.

"Don't move, listen to me! Listen to me..."

Sensing Qingyue's struggle, Freire used what he could imagine... the most stern tone he would use when facing Qingyue, and stopped him.

"Let me finish with that, if... if I might never see you skating with your skates on again, don't make me regret it, okay?"

You could almost feel his slowly weakening breath from Freire's voice, Qing Yue shook his head slowly towards this person who was of special significance to him, as if he was unwilling to go anyway. Accept the meaning of Frere's words.Yes, no matter what...he didn't hope that he would never be able to see the gentle smile on Freire's face again.But no matter what, he still couldn't stop Freire from saying the words that made him feel uneasy.

"I know you probably don't want to hear those words anymore, but I still want to tell you. Don't give up skating, okay? You can do... much more than that. Go back, go back and show those arrogant guys, Tell them that you not only have the title of genius, you also have the strength that no one else can match. Without your ice circle...it is really boring."

When he said this, Freire seemed to have been frozen to the point of being unconscious.But he didn't give up the last bit of time, and insisted on it, as if he wanted to accompany Qing Yue for a longer... longer time.It would also allow him to spend as little time as possible...alone, alone, before being found by the rescue team.

"I once swore to myself that if one day you really can't continue skating, I will help you find another life you like and make you happy. But now I seem to want to I broke my promise."

By the time he said these words, Freire's voice was already very weak.Although he was smiling, people could easily feel the helplessness and bitterness in his words.Hearing these words, Qing Yue couldn't help pulling his hand around Freire's back from his coat, and put it on Freire's cold cheek, calling his name continuously.

"Who allowed you to break your promise? You bastard! That sentence was just an oath you swore to yourself. Are you going to break your promise if I just heard it today? Listen! I want you to live and live well, otherwise I just smashed my skates and stopped skating for the rest of my life! Did you hear that, did you hear that Freire!"

Hearing Qingyue's shout, Freyer, who had barely used his will to support his waking consciousness just now, opened his eyes again with difficulty.He seemed to be incredulous because of what Qing Yue said to him just now.After a moment of silence, he finally managed to make a sound.

"What you just said...are you serious?"

"of course it's true!"

"So... am I really that important to you?"

Hearing those ignorant words, Qing Yue's heart was so bitter that he could hardly make a sound.Both of them seemed to have exhausted their physical strength.Therefore, it was with great difficulty that Qing propped up his body slightly so that Freire's gaze could fall into his own.Gengrang, who has always had extremely keen perception and can always detect something from people's eyes, looked at him.

"Important. Very...very important. I can't imagine my world going on without you."

Hearing these words, Frere's eyes, which were about to gradually dim, suddenly showed a dazzling brilliance.He held the humble love in front of the person who had been waiting for ten years, and asked cautiously: "I can hear your words, even if I really died here. There will be no regrets. It's just...can you allow me to be more greedy? If...if we can all go back alive. Can you...can you give me a chance, try...to be with me Together?"

Seeing that Freire's consciousness was about to slacken in the next second, Qing Yue, who seemed to have figured out something just a second before, grabbed Frere's collar, and slowly...slowly printed his lips When it reached Freire's already blue lips, he used his own warmth to rub against the other's coldness.

Although they have known each other for ten years, this is the first kiss between them.Although shallow, it is almost devout.

"Time flies... If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered that we have known each other for ten years. Speaking of which... You have never had a girlfriend in these ten years. But I have Nine years to Alek. Oh no, maybe I should cut out the three years after the last Olympics. I... I always feel that you should have a better, purer lover than me ..."

"No, in this world... there is no one better than you."

"Then...you live on. If we can live together, I will promise you everything you say this year. But if you can't make it through, I'll smash my skates and go back to Alek. what do you think?"

"No! No! Not only Alek, but also everyone else. I don't want to give other bastards a chance to hurt you!"

Freire originally wanted to continue talking... If I can't make it through, you must also live well.But when Qingyue said Alek's name, he couldn't restrain the emotions in his heart, and couldn't help but say what was hidden deep in his heart, even he himself couldn't realize it.Freire just looked at Qingyue in a daze, but saw the smile on Qingyue's face.

The cold wind outside was still howling, constantly rushing into this small cave with only the two of them.But at this moment, Frere seemed to no longer hear the sound of the cold wind almost piercing the eardrums, nor could he feel the passing of body temperature.He even felt... an indescribable warmth rising from the bottom of his heart.He had never imagined that he was so afraid of death now.Afraid of entering the endless darkness, never seeing the smile on the face of the person in front of me, never hearing him call out his name, never feeling his kiss...

When his consciousness gradually blurred, he seemed to have seen the most beautiful picture. He saw himself and Qing Yue skating on skates under the aurora, making heart-stopping jumps and dazzling spins.Not only that, he even saw himself playing the piece written by the man who had been waiting for him for ten years in the music hall where Carlos was awarded the violin Mildastan.When the performance was over, he walked down the stage like this, grabbed Qing Yue's hand, made him stand up from his seat, and kissed happily with everyone's blessing...

That was... the last memory of that snowstorm night that existed in Frere's mind.
