[Ice Dance] My Ex Is a Perfect Ten on the Ice

[The original idea for this story: lusting after Coach Si's body. Everything is built around that.]

I went to the nearby ice rink hoping to admire some beautiful skating, but nothing looked quite right. In the end, I sat by the rink and opened that video I'd watched so many times it was practically worn smooth:

The last National Ice Dance Championships my ex competed in.

I really do still like him best (his muscles, that is)!

"Are you a fan of mine? You're watching that competition! I'm so touched!"

I peeked at the woman through my hair. So she was my ex's ice dance partner.

I took off my headphones. "I'm just watching your partner."

As I said that, I pushed back my hood and turned around. I hadn't expected my golden-retriever ex to be staring wide-eyed at me and my phone, his face steaming red all the way up to the sky.

"...Sorry for interrupting."

Before my ex could get a single word out, I staggered out of the rink.

I sighed.

As expected, even hidden under that shabby jacket, my ex's muscles are still the best!

It's not a big deal.

My ex and I were just high school desk mates. Then we went through some rented-apartment romance, and after that, we had a perfectly ordinary breakup, this and that.

My ex wraps his arms around me from behind, forcing me to stop typing.

"Ririsa, why don't you tell the story of how we got back together?"

"Ririsa, will you check out my physique again tonight?"

A bit of a troublemaker vs. a very good dog

An ex-boyfriend who's hopelessly dependent on her vs. an ex-girlfriend whose word he still wouldn't dare disobey

Someone who believes in everyone, including herself, except that no one believes her vs. someone who can be moved by the whole world but can't bring herself to trust herself

Reading guide:

1. Skating Dreams + Haikyuu!! + Run with the Wind. All professional knowledge comes from the internet.

2. CP: Akura Rotsukasa. One-on-one romance. You don't need to know the original work to enjoy this.

3. They only get together after becoming adults. This story is just an excuse to lust after Coach Tsukasa, though I'll try not to write him out of character. A tribute to the legendary manga The Unassuming Male Coworker and The Days I Was Bossed Around by Senior Natsume.

4. Ririsa has a career, but it's not a conventional success story. She's not a strong female lead, just an ordinary woman.

5. Thanks for reading! Love you all!

Theme: Coach Tsukasa's body is justice.
