skateballs round two

SKATEBALLS also don't laugh i could only find the band version of the song i wanted

[tire]

[ it's been a month or so since eijun was partnered up with furuya for doubles, and it's gone...all things considered, better than expected. though he had originally declared that if they were going to be stuck together, they were going to have to be the best, skating doubles is a lot harder than it sounds, and he and furuya don't always see eye to eye on a lot of things.

(for instance: who got to the skating rink first, who ate the most rice at dinner time, where to have dinner, what time to wake up in the morning, et cetera)

but, practice time is more or less over, and competition season is looming. chris had gently (but very firmly) told eijun so, and with that, he was instructed to pick out a song to start choreographing to. for what it's worth, eijun really likes choreographing, though he's never been very methodic about it--it's always been whatever feels like it fits best with the music to him, a strategy that feels sort of random to most, as sawamura is a language all its own.

he's waiting with his ipod in hand and his skates laced when furuya gets to the rink, sitting on the lip of the entrance with his legs extended out in front of them. they were supposed to pick out a couple of songs each to try and decide on one, and eijun waves his hand towards his skating partner when he sees him, popping an earbud out of his ear and holding it out. ] Furuya, c'mon, hurry and listen!!

[ the song itself is slow to start, more melodic, but grows in energy as it moves--he put some thought into it, which might seem surprising, but sawamura eijun is nothing if not full of surprises.

[ Satoru is not great at sharing. He is pretty good at competing, but working with someone else--as he has been told over and over at this point--is not about working-together-but-actually-being-better-than-them, it's about finding balance and complimenting each other and, well, working together. So he's been learning to wake up earlier, to run in a way that matches strides instead of making everything into a race, to try to make room in the way he practices and lives for another person.

Sawamura hasn't made it easy just by virtue of being himself, but Satoru's not giving up. Almost in spite of him, he's started to appreciate the place Sawamura occupies, but never more so than when things started turning toward competition. Choreography has never been Satoru's strong point. He makes pieces his own, sure, and he's always had a say in the music, but the base routine composition has always come from someone else. Knowing then that Sawamura's looking after that this time is a little comforting, but in a way it also chafes. He doesn't want to end up skating second to something Sawamura creates to make himself look good.

(It'd be a more significant source of frustration if Satoru didn't already pretty much trust Sawamura not to do that. Only pretty much, but it's more trust than a lot of other people have earned.)

It's with that in mind that Satoru comes over and stops when Sawamura calls out of him, moving to sit next to him so the cord from the iPod will reach. He doesn't say anything as he puts the earbud in--it's early, words are hard--but once the music starts his focus lifts away from his skates and out onto the ice. He can almost see what kind of performance would come from something like this, where the jumps and lifts would be. If Sawamura's watching, he'll even see Satoru's eyes and toes moving, following invisible skaters as he imagines how it might go. ]

I... like it. But here.

[ And with that he fishes an iPod out of his own pocket and, after a moment of scrolling, offers an earbud for his own potential option. He's often taken inspiration from ballet and this is no exception. ]
