"Life is not easy, for any of us. But ... What does it matter! You have to persevere, and above all, have confidence in yourself."
-Marie Curie
A few minutes before the farewell, an awkward chat, the end of dessert.
The mobiles of both sounded crazy and as if it were a total agreement they both unlocked them, each comment fell like rain, each reaction of the photo where you could see both smiling nervously when they entered the cafeteria and sat facing each other.
—I didn't think they were following us— the Canadian spoke in a low voice while looking at the minor who was seeing each comment, some obviously bad; "What the hell is wrong with him? Dating the king! That's unusual" "Someone like @Aibek Kenes is not necessary in the life of the King!" "JJ would not lower himself to someone like him."
Jake only appreciated the Kazakh's reactions, they were tiny if you weren't paying attention to him but I notice that downcast expression in his black eyes, they didn't have that beautiful glow of shame or happiness, now he looked bad thanks to those negative comments I couldn't ignore them, carefully underneath of the Kazakh's phone with his hand before smiling at him.
-Don't listen to them ... finish and enjoy the dessert by my side- I silence both phones and put them away from them so I can talk to each other.
"Covering up your own suffering is running the risk of being eaten from the inside."
-Frida Kalho
Aibek only showed doubt in his eyes but then he accepted, it was true that they came to have a dessert so as not to pay attention to their phones, although what he had read was still in his mind and that caused him some insecurity, he hated bad comments. but gracefully he couldn't ignore them.
—So ... do you like chocolate? - Jake asked again as he gave Bek a bite of his dessert although he refused because of so much insistence, he had to accept and eat the bite, it was delicious.
—It tastes delicious– he spoke softly with a small smile, what he didn't know was that it had made Jake's heart beat so fast it hurt.
—Well, it has chocolate is something you would like– Jake tried to plead as he ate from the same spoon that he fed his new friend, so to speak.
Bek only smiled slightly and gave him his portion, although that expression seemed cute to the Canadian so he accepted that it was delicious despite being dark chocolate.
—What do you want to do after the competition? - The Canadian asked suddenly, again as he calmly looked out the window.
"When a door of happiness closes. Another opens. Yet many times we look at the closed door for so long that we don't see the one that was opened for us. "

—Are you going to t
party?— The purple-eyed man asked again when he saw the Kazakh's expression.
-We have to go to the party to avoid misunderstandings ...- the Kazakh spoke in a low voice before stretching a little at that moment, although afterwards he took out his wallet to be able to pay his part of that appetizer and be able to leave that warm cafeteria.
-Will you go back to the track? - He asked curious but in the end he let out a sigh, his time alone was over, but he looked down to see it with calm and emotion although he ended up paying the same since he was about to pay everything but gave in for the actions of the lowest.
—No, I'll go to the hotel to rest, take a bath and make some arrangements for my suit ... and you? - They talked as they left the cafeteria to take a taxi.
—I'll see what I do ... Are we already friends? - He questioned about to shake hands with the Kazakh but had to wait a minute when he saw the doubt in his opposite.
—Friends?— I mumble doubtfully for a moment ... but would that be the right thing to do? I just take her hand and shake it.
-Friends...
And with that, they both just went in different directions. Aibek took a taxi to the hotel where all the classified skaters were staying and Jake walked to the center of town where he would see what to do since he still had enough time to do whatever.
Aibek had arrived at the hotel where he relaxed a moment before doing his things but what did not cross his mind was a certain Canadian who did not let him think about anything but himself.
—I'm thinking?— He wondered, shaking his head, was he going crazy at the moment, but no! he would not be carried away by those strange thoughts.
—But I feel like I had already met him ... Is that true?– He was talking to himself but the idea of whether it was or not helped a lot, but he ended up taking his suit that he would use in his skating routine I fixed some details like this like putting in some that were missing like buttons or ribbons.
Meanwhile with Jake he was in his own thoughts walking in a small silence until he stopped looking at the snow on the ground.

I can not believe it! That boy has me crazy!
My thoughts are killing me and a great desire to give him something was driving me crazy. I just took a taxi and went downtown, I wanted to give something to Bek.
But what can I find at this time ?!
I had not thought of anything, I just had the urge to buy something from him, when I got out of the taxi I paid and started my search I only saw the time as if I was afraid of not finding anything, I walked from one place to another, my thought was only in he.
Aibek, a cute, handsome, tender, kind, sweet and charming boy, I could go on like this but it would be a long list ... his sweet way of being drove me crazy and I didn't know what else to think. . .
His curly black hair, his black eyes like Onix, all of him is beautiful, Stop! He's just a friend ... but I feel like I already know him ...
Little by little I kept thinking about him until my face touched the snow.
