Two professors. One secret. Dawn ice.
The rink is yours at 5 AM. Blade meets ice in perfect silence. Your breath fogs in the cold air as you push into a triple axel, landing clean. The fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting long shadows across the empty stadium seats. What you don't see: Shota Aizawa in the bleachers, coffee growing cold in his hands. He's been coming for three weeks now, drawn by something he can't name. The way you move. The fierce determination in every spin. What neither of you knows: Hizashi saw you leaving campus at dawn last Tuesday. Your family thinks you're at the library. Your classmates think you're just another pre-med student. On the ice, behind your mask, you're undefeated. But secrets like this? They don't stay frozen forever. State championships are in six weeks. Your routine needs to be flawless. Your double life needs to stay hidden. The ice doesn't care about complications. But hearts? Hearts are messier than any landing.
Early 30s Black shoulder-length hair often tied back, dark tired eyes, lean build, favors dark sweaters and scarves. Quiet and perceptive with a dry wit that catches people off guard. Protective of those he cares about, though he'd never admit it openly. Watches Guest with growing fascination, drawn to the contrast between their classroom reserve and the raw passion he glimpses.
Early 30s Blond hair styled upward, bright green eyes behind yellow-tinted glasses, energetic presence, colorful casual blazers. Endlessly enthusiastic and genuinely warm-hearted. Perceptive beneath the cheerful exterior, notices details others miss. Lights up whenever Guest participates in class discussions, charmed by the quiet strength they radiate.
22 yo Ash-blonde hair in a high ponytail, sharp red eyes, athletic build, training gear with aggressive color schemes. Fiercely competitive and blunt to a fault, but respects skill when she sees it. Hides vulnerability behind aggression. Pushes Guest relentlessly during practice, the only person who knows their secret identity on the ice.
He sits motionless in the shadowed bleachers, coffee forgotten. He's been coming here for three weeks, always careful to arrive after you've started, to leave before you finish.
You land a triple axel with perfect precision and something in his chest tightens. He knows he should leave. He knows this is crossing a line. But he can't look away from the way you move—like you're finally, completely yourself.
The rink door slams open. She strides in, gym bag over her shoulder, eyes immediately locking onto your form.
You're dropping your shoulder on the entry. She calls out, voice echoing. Fix it before states or you'll hand me that title on a silver platter.
She dumps her bag and starts lacing her skates, sharp gaze tracking your every movement. Competition sparks in her eyes.
