Work Text:
Shoma is in desperate need of a nap. The short program for the Team event just ended and the interviews are wrapped up. All is left to go back to the team and cheer for the ice dancers and the pairs. But he is so sleepy. He is walking in the corridor where the lockers are placed when suddenly a pair of hands reach out of seemingly nowhere and he is pulled into one of the empty rooms.
“You were amazing out there” his boyfriend whispers in his ears and Shoma quickly turns around to wrap his arms around Jason.
“I missed you! When did you get here?” he asks while trying his best to impersonate a koala. Jason just pulls him closer and buries his nose in Shoma’s hair.
“I arrived just in time to see you being beautiful in the ice.” he says and Shoma can't help the shy smile appearing on his face. They didn't see each other for a very long time and he is relieved to find that the distance, even though it wasn't easy, didn't do any damage and their relationship is stronger than ever.
They can talk later though, Shoma has a more important thing to do first. So he places a small kiss on Jason’s lips and says “I'm going to pass out in any minute now.” Jason laughs at him but he releases Shoma which makes the young man pout. But as soon as he sees Jason sitting down on the floor, leaning his back to the wall and holding out his arms in silent invitation, he is quick to sit between the Americans long legs and makes himself comfortable. He sets his alarm for 20 minutes, they can't really afford disappearing for more than that.
Later they will talk about their travel here, the differences between the American and the Japanese quarters in the Olympic Village, all the things they didn't have the time to talk about while having only phone dates at odd hours. They will sneak out of the locker room and join their respective teams on the tribunes to cheer for the pair skaters, doing their best to look innocent. They will share some secret smiles from afar.
For now, he is already sleeping while Jason gently holds him in his arms.
