The rink is cold and quiet, the only sound the scratch of your blades on fresh ice as you glide through a routine. Fluorescent lights cast long shadows across the bleachers, where a tall figure sits alone, elbows on his knees. Riki Nishimura's helmet is off, his hockey stick resting beside him, but his eyes aren't on the net—they're on you. His teammates file in, jeering, shoving his shoulder, but he doesn't look away. When your spin ends and you pause to breathe, he meets your gaze from across the ice, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Didn't mean to stare," he says lowly, "but you make it hard not to."
