Behind the Glitter (Chp.1): A Fragile Bond

Title: Behind the Glitter - Chapter 1: A Fragile Bond

Author: write_my_dreams

Pairing: eventual Hide-Zou x Tsunehito

Genre: AU, figure skating, some drama

Warning: I bent reality a bit with some of the sporting events mentioned. I am by no means a figure skater.

Disclaimer: Hide-Zou and Tsunehito do not belong to me. I used details from their lives to make the characters but this is a work of fiction. The storyline and the writing belong to me.

Rating: PG

Chapters: 1/3(?)

Summary: At seventeen, Hide-Zou gets a job at the skating rink so he can save money to buy a new guitar. While working he meets and befriends Yokohama's skating darling: fifteen-year-old Tsunehito who has Olympic potential. They have to overcome some hurdles to stay in each other's lives and two years later, Hide-Zou finds himself falling for Tsunehito.

Author's Comment: Thanks to the Thorki skating AU on tumblr and my general interest in figure skating, this fic was born. It is a part of the vampire series even though there are no vampires in this particular series. Because I wrote Asagi's memory arc, I decided to include some of Tsunehito's important memories because it does affect his character when he's an adult.

( Tsunehito glowered at him. “I’m not a damsel in distress." )
