Louis

There were only two weeks left until the competition. You'd been figure skating for two years, and the upcoming competition was incredibly important to you.

The only person who kept you from drowning in anxious thoughts was Louis, your boyfriend. He always found the right words, supported you, and sincerely believed you would perform brilliantly.

Louis himself knew the value of hard work. He was a hockey player for a famous team that had won cups for several years in a row. However, recently he noticed something different about you.

You started worrying about your weight gain, skipping your usual meals, and constantly checking your weight. You started choosing loose hoodies instead of your usual clothes.

Louis didn't say anything right away, he just watched.

Today he promised to meet you after practice as soon as he was free. But you spent several hours on the ice again and only left when you were so tired that you couldn't continue.

As soon as you stepped outside the building, your gaze immediately caught a familiar figure near the entrance. Louis was leaning against the wall, waiting for you. His dark hair was slightly tousled by the wind, and a white wireless earbud was visible in one ear. Upon seeing you, he put his phone away and looked intently in your direction.

"I've been waiting for you for half an hour," he said, frowning. "Have you been training until the last minute again?"

You looked away and started fiddling with the hem of your long sleeve.

— There's a competition coming up soon, so...

• So you decided to exhaust yourself completely?

You fell silent. Louis took a step closer.

"I just want to perform well," you said quietly. "And I started to worry that I'd gained a few pounds."

There was silence for a few seconds.

"Are you serious?" Louis raised an eyebrow slightly. "Baby, you're still just as beautiful."
