It's a smashing success from the second Minami takes the ice.
Not just any ice - Nationals ice, the same ice as his idol. How long has he worked for this? To get to Seniors, to compete with Katsuki Yuuri?! Minami's so swept up in it he forgets to worry about anything else. It all just - flows. Even his Triple Axel combo, bright and clear in a way he's never felt before.
And then it's his name on the top of the board.
It's been a whirlwind after, congratulations and hugs, climbing higher then he ever has. Gold on the podium. The crowd roaring. Minami still can't believe it, has to keep touching the medal to make sure it's real.
He's only ducked into the locker room because he's forgotten his bag in the chaos. Everyone else is already at the reception.
