a.n: big potential to have a part two but i have too many reqs and i’ll be busy so it would take time 😓
the first time kimi met you, the two of you were six years old. your parents had rented neighbouring villas on lake como for the summer, and apparently six-year-old kimi had decided you were going to be his best friend after you offered him half of your strawberry gelato because he’d dropped his on the pavement.
he’d accepted it with sticky fingers and the biggest grin you’d ever seen. from that day on, you were practically inseparable.
every morning you’d race each other down to the lake, arguing over who got to choose the day’s adventure. sometimes it was building ridiculous sandcastles that would wash away within minutes. sometimes it was collecting smooth stones and pretending they were priceless treasures. sometimes it was convincing your parents you were responsible enough to rent bikes, only to spend the next hour wobbling down tiny italian streets with scraped knees and uncontrollable laughter.
when summer ended, you’d cried so hard your mum had to peel you away from kimi’s family before your flight.
your parents promised you’d see each other again and they kept that promise.
every single summer after that became yours and kimis, even when school became harder, life became busier, when karting slowly took over kimi’s weekends and when figure skating began taking over yours.
the two of you always found your way back to lake como.
some summers you’d barely spend any time in the water because kimi wanted to show you videos from his latest kart race while you forced him to watch recordings of competitions he’d never fully understand.
“how do you spin that many times without throwing up?” he’d ask, completely baffled.
you’d shrug. “the same way you drive that fast without crying.”
“you cried when you finished second.”
you’d laugh so hard you’d nearly fall off the dock.
those summers slowly changed: bike rides became late-night walks, holding hands happened naturally and the lingering glances between you two lasted a little longer than they used to.
the first kiss happened just after sunset when you were both sixteen, sitting at the end of the old wooden dock with your feet dangling above the water.
it was awkward and completely unexpected but it felt right.
by the time kimi signed his first formula one contract and you officially became france’s newest olympic hopeful, the relationship wasn’t something either of you questioned anymore.
it had simply always been there.
he was still the first person you called after every competition and you were still the first person he looked for after every race.
distance never really meant much when you’d spent your whole lives finding your way back to each other which was why six weeks before the olympics, kimi knew something was wrong before anyone else did.
everyone saw france’s greatest hope for olympic gold, he saw the dark circles hidden beneath your makeup, the meals you quietly skipped, the way your wrists shook ever so slightly after unlacing your skates and the fact that you’d started saying, “one more run,” far too often.
so while the world saw an athlete at the top of her game.., he saw the little girl who had once cried over a flavour of ice cream not being picked enough.
he knew exactly what you looked like when you were trying to carry the weight of the world on your own.

user1 SHES BRINGING GOLD HOME 🇫🇷
user2 shes literally unreal! frances princess fr
user6 the A necklace??? 👀
—> user3 KIMI?? WHAT ARE U DOING HERE

your phone vibrated against the bench beside you. you payed no mind to it, barely sparring a glance.
“popular today?” your coach teased, walking over with a bottle of water.
you smiled absentmindedly, taking the bottle without ever unlocking your phone. “something like that.”
she watched you take two quick sips before immediately setting it back down. “finish it.”
she raised an eyebrow. “finish it.”
you sighed dramatically but obeyed, earning a satisfied nod from her before she clapped her hands together. “again from the beginning.”
you nodded without complaint. the familiar notes of your program echoed through the empty arena as you pushed yourself away from the barrier.
the first run-through was clean and the second even cleaner.
the third though.. your landing on the triple flip wobbled just enough to bother you.
“stop.” your coach’s voice cut through the music. “that was good.”
you were already skating back to your starting position. “one more.”
she opened her mouth to argue before closing it again. there wasn’t much point because once you’d made up your mind you were as stubborn as they came.
training finally ended nearly three hours later. well it ended for everyone else. not you.
your coach checked the time before looking over at you. “same time tomorrow.”
she gave you the kind of look that told you she knew you were lying. “i mean it.”
you smiled sweetly. “i will.”
she left, not because she believed you, but because she’d learned years ago that once you were chasing perfection, there wasn’t much anyone could say to stop you.
the automatic doors slid shut behind her causing silence to fill the rink.
it was just how you liked it. no pop music. no coaches. no distractions.
only the sound of your blades carving into fresh ice.
you adjusted the sleeves of your training jacket before stepping back onto the rink. “one more time.”
y/n l/n is STILL training and it’s almost 1am 😭😭 (attached: a grainy video filmed from the viewing gallery showing you running your program alone in the empty rink.)
user1 SHE DOESNT GO HOME?
user3 oh she locked in fr
user4 is this not concerning ?? 😭
user2 @ kimi.antonelli DO SOMETHING
—> kimi.antonelli im trying ok?
—> user9 gosh he’s in love
unfortunately for the thousands of people watching the interaction unfold online. they weren’t wrong because less than twenty minutes later the doors to the rink opened once again.
you didn’t notice for you were too focused. all you could think about was the combination you’d under-rotated earlier. you landed the opening jump, held the edge, pushed into the second and as your blade hit the ice your ankle rolled ever so slightly beneath you.
it wasn’t enough to make you fall.
but enough for the sharp ache to shoot up your leg. you hissed quietly, shaking it off almost immediately.
“again,” you whispered to yourself.
your head snapped towards the entrance. still wearing his mercedes hoodie, car keys dangling from one hand and the other shoved into his pocket, watching you with an expression that wasn’t angry, just worried was kimi.
you stood frozen in the middle of the ice. kimi stood at the boards, watching you.
“…what are you doing here?” you asked quietly.
he tilted his head. “looking for my girlfriend.”
you tried to smile. “well, you found her.”
“did i? because my girlfriend was supposed to be home two hours ago.”
you looked down at your skates. “…i just needed one more run.”
he sighed. “that’s what you say all the time.”
“…” you bit the inside of your cheek. he was right.
you slowly skated over, stopping beside the barrier. he rested his forearms against it, looking at you for a long moment.
he reached up and gently brushed a loose strand of hair away from your face. his fingertips lingered against your cheek. “you’re tired.”
you shrugged. “a little.”
“your eyes are barely staying open.”
“bella..” his voice softened. “look at me.”
the second your eyes met his, every ounce of determination you’d been clinging to suddenly felt incredibly heavy. “…i’m just scared.”
“but what if i do?” your voice cracked despite your best efforts. “everyone expects me to win.” you laughed bitterly. “…i don’t feel ready.”
“…if i train more maybe i’ll feel ready.” another quiet laugh escaped you. “and then i train more and i still don’t.”
it was silent between you both for a few seconds before he spoke. “come off the ice.”
there wasn’t a single ounce of authority in his voice. just concern.
ten minutes later your skates were packed away, your hair had been thrown into a messy bun and you were following kimi through the car park.
“…where are we going?” you asked.
he unlocked the car. “or…” he smiled. “you can let your boyfriend take you on a date.”
you blinked. “…at ten-thirty?”
“the best dates happen after ten.”
“me. a very reliable source.” he grinned proudly.
the city was quieter at night. streetlights reflected across the windows as soft music played through the speakers. you rested your head against the passenger window. you hadn’t realised how tired you were until the warmth of the car settled around you and your eyes fluttered shut.
kimi glanced over for half a second before reaching across the centre console and without saying a word he intertwined your fingers. his thumb gently rubbed over your knuckles. “don’t fall asleep yet.”
you smiled with your eyes still closed. “trying…”
“i’ve got somewhere you’ll like.”
“…you think i’d take you out for salad?”
“i’m offended. it’s pasta.”
your eyes opened immediately. “…really?”
he laughed. “yes your favourite.”
fifteen minutes later he parked outside a tiny family-owned italian restaurant tucked away on a quiet street.
it wasn’t fancy or expensive but it had become both your place over the years.
the owner looked up the second the two of you walked inside. “ah!” his face lit up instantly. “my favourite couple!”
you smiled properly for what felt like the first time all day.b“hi, marco.”
the older man walked around the counter before wrapping both of you in a hug. “kimi! you’ve become too skinny.”
kimi sighed dramatically, his accent coming through. “you sound exactly like my mother.”
“because she is right.” marco looked at you next. “…and you.” he frowned. “too skinny as well.”
you laughed awkwardly. “i’m fine.”
he pointed towards a booth. “sit.”
as soon as you sat down, a basket of warm bread appeared on the table, followed by olive oil, then fresh focaccia and then parmesan.
you looked between all the food before looking at kimi suspiciously. “did you call ahead?”
he looked far too innocent. “…maybe.”
you couldn’t help smiling. “you’re unbelievable.”
“that wasn’t a compliment.”
“i’m choosing to believe it was.”
a few minutes later, your pasta arrived. it smelled incredible yet you simply stared at it.
kimi noticed immediately. “…what?”
you quietly twirled your fork through the pasta without actually taking a bite. “…i just feel guilty.”
his heart sank. “for eating?”
you nodded once. “…what if i feel heavy tomorrow?”
the words came out so quietly they almost disappeared beneath the chatter of the restaurant. kimi reached across the table, covering your hand with his. “look at me, your body has carried you through thousands of hours on the ice. it deserves dinner. it deserves breakfast. it deserves lunch.”
you let out the smallest laugh. “dessert?”
“and you’re eating.” he gently nudged the fork towards you. “one bite.”
you hesitated. then finally took one.
marco, watching discreetly from behind the counter, gave kimi the tiniest approving nod.
you finished the entire plate without even realising and left the restaurant feeling full instead of guilty.

as the two of you stepped out of the restaurant, the cool night air immediately wrapped around you. you instinctively pulled the sleeves of kimi’s hoodie further over your hands. without a word, he slipped an arm around your shoulders, pulling you into his side. “better?”
you nodded, resting your head against him.“…much.”
the streets were quiet now, most of the city already asleep. there was just the sound of your footsteps matching his.
kimi looked down at you. “there’s my y/n.”
you frowned playfully. “what?”
you looked away and he squeezed your shoulder gently. “i missed it. please y/n .. next time your struggling just let me help you.”
he smiled. “good.” he leaned down and pressed a kiss to the top of your head. “now.” he grinned. “ice cream.”
you stared at him. “…after pasta?”
“i’m an olympic athlete.”
“exactly. athletes deserve ice cream.”
you rolled your eyes so dramatically he laughed.“your logic is terrible.”
“and yet” he reached for your hand again. “you’re still coming.”

user1 yn and her iconic strawberry gelato
user2 dinner AND dessert? they locked in fr
user3 they are married in my head
you were laughing so hard at something kimi had said that your strawberry gelato nearly slipped off the cone.
“careful,” he chuckled, steadying your wrist before it tipped onto the pavement.
“don’t you dare.” you gasped dramatically. “this is premium strawberry.”
“olympic-level strawberry.”
he snorted. “does that mean i need to hold up scores after every bite?”
you immediately straightened your posture, pretending to skate across the pavement with your cone held delicately in front of you.
“presentation…” you took a bite. “9.75.” another. “skating skills…”
kimi was already laughing.
you spun, well, attempted to spin, before nearly losing your balance. he caught your elbow before you could stumble.
“i think that’s a deduction,” he teased.
“execution score…” he looked at your cone thoughtfully. “…ten.”
“best strawberry gelato i’ve ever seen.”
you leaned against his shoulder, smiling into the cool night. “…thank you.”
“for making me leave the rink.”
he kissed the top of your head again. “anytime, champion.” you weren’t a champion yet but in his eyes, you were already.
the weeks after that became lighter. not easier, olympic preparation would never be easy but definitely lighter.
you still trained harder than almost anyone else at the rink and still chased perfect edges, cleaner landings and faster spins. the difference was that when your coach called for a break, you took it and when lunch arrived you actually ate it. and when the clock crept closer to nine, you packed your skates away even if every part of your brain begged for one more run.
because every night, there’d be a text waiting for you.
i’m waiting for you at home
they all reminded you that there was a life beyond the ice. a life with late night movies, gelato, facetime calls with kimi when he was away and just simply kimi.
figure skating started to stop consuming you and you started to live again.

mercedesamgf1 good luck y/n!!!
the olympic village buzzed with excitement, athletes from every corner of the world wandered through the streets, trading pins, taking photos and wishing one another luck.
you’d dreamed of this since you were a little girl skating in oversized boots and now your name was stitched across the back of a french olympic jacket.
“y/n?” you turned to find one of your teammates jogging over.
“they’re doing official practice.”
you nodded, waving goodbye to your best friend. “coming.”
the arena was even bigger than it looked on television. thousands of empty seats surrounded the ice while volunteers hurried around preparing for competition day.
you stepped onto the fresh ice carefully, your blades barely swiped across the surface.
your coach watched from the boards. “don’t think too much.”
you smiled softly. “okay.”
you thought about six-year-old you. the little girl who had spun around her living room in socks pretending she’d won the olympics.

competition day arrived far quicker than you wanted it to.
your alarm went off before sunrise.
you simply layed there, staring at the ceiling as you processed everything
your heartbeat echoed louder than anything else.
interrupting your thoughts, your phone buzzed.

no matter what happens i’m so proud of you. always.
you read the message twice, a small smile appearing on your face
i love you more. goodluck ❤️
now all that was left was for you to give your all and skate.
