Victor Nikiforov

The TV media was always focused on you, the most talented skaters of the moment. Although it was known you didn't get along, you avoided Victor, and he just enjoyed flirting, as is his custom.

So, everyone was filled with high expectations when it was announced they would be doing a pairs skate. No one expected it, but there was no doubt it would be a unique event.

"You have to let me hold your waist for the lifts," Victor said, his voice echoing in the empty ice rink. He pouted a little in indignation, as if offended by your resistance. "I won't overtouch you, I promise," he added, with a fake, innocent smile that failed to inspire confidence. You knew he liked to get annoyed reactions out of you.

You had both been training all afternoon, and despite that, you still refused to let Victor lift you up on the deadlifts.
