#establishing my nikiblr dominance lol

[palajae]

it’s just…

PAIRING... skater!niki x skater!reader | GENRE... figure skating! au, romance, angst, fluff, unconditional love? | WC... 0.6k | “it’s just what?”

“congratulations on another wonderful performance and win! you guys have been dominating the couples skate for years now even though you’re still so young, how do you feel?” 

your partner’s arm around you tightens a bit as he stares into the camera, leaning into the mic. the sweat fresh from coming off the ice gleams on his forehead and you stare at his side profile, resisting the urge to wipe a drop running down the side of his cheek. 

still breathing heavily, he manages to sport a bright grin. 

“yeah, well, i think the fans will be happy. we worked really hard, and i hope the performance shows that.” he glances down at you as you smile back up at him. 

“i think we’re both satisfied. i’m proud of y/n too, as always.” 

your smile grows a bit at that.

you and niki had been partners for over six years now, having essentially grown up together. you think you’ve spent more time with niki on the ice than you have at home with your family. 

but you wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

you respected him immensely, trusted him entirely, and you knew he felt the same. the fans could see it too. 

it showed in every interaction, every performance. you two were naturally close and friendly, so the shipping that came along with it was expected. no one could deny your chemistry. 

after the interview finishes, you and niki finish up with pictures of you with your medals. he even picks you up and spins you around as you laugh, beaming at your expression. 

when you finally get a moment to rest, he ruffles your hair. “good job today. i’m proud of you.” 

you shove his hand away playfully, “you worked hard too. did you want to grab some food before we get back to the hotel? i’m kinda hungry and you know-“

you glance at niki to see him typing away on his phone. you poke his cheek. 

“hm? yeah?” 

you cross your arms and huff as he sheepishly squeezes your side as an apology. 

“i said, did you want to get some food? coach said we don’t have any more schedules, so we should be free…”

niki bites his lip. “sorry, i already have some plans. but i’ll meet you back at the hotel?” 

you frown. since when did he ever not want to spend time with you? 

“alright, see you later.” 

you end up passing out back at the hotel and don’t see niki until the next day for practice. it goes smoothly as usual, but he seems a little off. 

it’s not until your coach calls break when you nudge him, skating in circles around him like an animal surrounding their prey. 

“what’s up with you?”

“what do you mean?

you raise an eyebrow, taking his hands and pulling him along. “you know what i mean, so spill.”

he sighs heavily, “i wanted to wait until we got home, but…”

“but?” 

“I think i’m gonna go out with haerin.” 

you stop. and slowly let go of his hands. 

“oh.”

“it’s nothing serious for now,” he adds hastily, “we’re just getting to know each other.” 

“no, no, of course,” you mumble while collecting your thoughts. 

“it’s just-“

“its just what?” niki perks up almost immediately like he was anticipating your response with a glint in his eyes. 

“nothing.” you smile flatly. “i was just surprised.” 

it certainly seemed out of the blue. it wasn’t that you minded—niki could date whoever he liked. you guys were just professional partners and always had been. 

but why does something feel so wrong?
