Hearts on Ice Chapter 124: The Rival.
Nobody talked much after that. The rink slowly emptied and players disappeared one by one. Bags were lifted, skates were carried away and voices gradually faded until only a few teams remained.Coach was speaking to another trainer about something regarding Lukas while Nikola sat on the bench looking emotionally damaged and Joshua still seemed haunted by the scoreboard but Lukas wasn't listening to any of it.Because when he thought he forgot, he saw him again. The boy.The one who had knocked into Viktor, then smiled brightly and apologized like it was nothing. To his boyfriend.He was across the rink now, taking off his gloves. Someone beside him said something and he laughed… that same stupid laugh and Lukas frowned.He remembered Viktor falling, remembered the sharp sound he made and remembered how his entire body had stiffened before he raised him up.Then, the boy looked up and their eyes met. Neither looked away and the noise around them suddenly felt very far. The boy blinked
Hearts on Ice Chapter 123: The Boy.
The third quarter somehow felt longer than the other two combined and the moment they stepped back onto the ice, everybody played harder. Not better. Just harder.Joshua chased every puck like his life depended on it, Sam checked somebody so hard he almost fell with him and Nikola somehow became defensive despite not understanding half of what was happening anymore.And Lukas?Lukas played like he was trying to fight the scoreboard. The problem was that the other team didn't care.Every time they gained momentum, the other side destroyed it immediately. Every shot met a stick, every opening disappeared and their goalie remained glued to the net. It felt impossible.They scored once, the crowd cheered, then the other team scored immediately afterward and there was silence.Then they scored again, there was hope. Then another mistake and another point. Then silence again.The scoreboard barely changed but somehow looked worse every time they glanced at it.13—4.14—4.14—5.The numbers
Hearts on Ice Chapter 122: Cuts.
The next morning started slow. Coach dropped an announcement on the group chat and all the players made their way to the bus.Nikola and Elias sat close to the window while Lukas and Viktor sat slightly far apart. Coach noticed but didn't care even one bit. He stretched out his hands and everyone seemed to pay rapt attention.“We're playing with maniacs today…” his eyes hopped from face to face before he continued, “it's just training… but people will be eliminated.”Nikola wanted to speak but Coach cut him short.“Not teams. Players.” And they all looked concerned. “No one's going to be on the bench. You're all playing.”Each player looked themselves in the eye. They hadn't gotten to the training center but they were already scared.Coach's voice tore through the silence, smashing through their negative thoughts immediately.“Don't panic. They're human”And as soon as they got there, Coach was forced to eat back his words. These players weren't human, they were animals. Fast, agile a
Hearts on Ice Chapter 121: Klaire Knows.
Nikola stayed wrapped in Elias’ arms until evening. They both had nowhere to be… or so they thought. A loud knock destroyed their peace and Nikola's soul nearly jumped out of his body. Nikola knew who it was, so he screamed so loud his throat hurt.“LYDIAAA!!!” Silence, and then more knocking followed. Nikola sighed, it kept getting louder and louder.“Didn't she hear me?” Elias stood and smiled at him,“She probably did… but just ignored”“That's so mean”“Hmm.” And he moved to the door. The knocking manged to get even louder but when he opened it, it wasn't Lydia.“Klaire?” And Nikola jumped out of his bed immediately. He stumbled a few times but made it to the door alive. He spoke, but he still struggled to catch his breath while Elias fought so hard to hide a smile.“What are you doing here, Klaire?” But she stayed quiet. Nikola looked like a mess. His hair stood individually and tear marks still stained his face. The shirt he was wearing wast too big so it fell of his shoulder
Hearts on Ice Chapter 120: Distance.
The apartment stayed quiet after that. The email was still open on Nikola's phone, its bright screen illuminating the kitchen table while his cereal sat abandoned beside it. The milk had completely ruined it now and one piece had somehow attached itself to the side of the bowl.Nikola stared at the email anyway, totally ignoring everything else.Eight months in another country, very far away.The words looked exactly the same as they had ten minutes ago but somehow they felt heavier now and the kitchen suddenly seemed too small. The walls felt closer and the familiar apartment he'd lived in for months looked strange somehow. Different.Elias quietly put the groceries away one by one, leaving Nikola to enjoy his silence. From bread, to the juice he loved and the vegetables Nikola insisted he got.Neither of them spoke as the refrigerator door closed with a soft sound. Elias turned around and Nikola still hadn't moved.He was sitting in the same position, phone in one hand and spoon in
Hearts on Ice Chapter 119: Nikola Vs Reality.
The problem started at exactly ten thirty-seven in the morning. Nikola knew the exact time because his entire life changed at ten thirty-seven in the morning.He was eating cereal and it was not even good cereal, the cheap kind for poor people, then his phone buzzed.He looked down lazily, expecting another team group message because Joshua had discovered reaction stickers and unfortunately wouldn't stop using them but instead—An email sat there and Nikola frowned then blinked and nearly dropped the spoon."...what?" The email remained there and he read it again, then again and then one more time because surely he was reading wrong.Invitation.Elite Development Program.International Training.Duration: Eight months.Location—Nikola stopped, then squinted and then looked closer."...where the hell is even that?" As he looked at it again, then rushed to open his maps. He waited, the maps loaded, Nikola typed, the maps loaded and then—"Oh." Silence stretched, then— "Oh."It was far,
Hearts on Ice Chapter 70: Rumors.
Morning started softly for once. No yelling…no panic and no pain…Just warmth beneath their skin. Rain drizzled quietly outside the apartment windows while sunlight crept in lazily across scattered blankets and Lukas slept deeper than usual beside Viktor, one arm wrapped tightly around his waist lik
Hearts on Ice Chapter 68: Too Far.
The apartment was quiet again but not a peaceful quiet…heavy quiet. Sunlight spilled faintly through the curtains while rain threatened somewhere far outside and Viktor sat legs crossed on the couch pretending to study something on his laptop even though he hadn’t actually read the same paragraph i
Hearts on Ice Chapter 67: Distance.
The rink went quiet after that. Apart from the old ventilation system humming softly somewhere far away and melting ice dripping steadily near the benches but between Lukas and Viktor? There was silence…heavy silence. Lukas stared at Viktor in disbelief while Viktor stood there breathing unevenly,
Hearts on Ice Chapter 66: Back To Life (Pt. 2).
The first training back felt wrong immediately. Not bad wrong…just different as the rink roared back to life around them fast, blades carved sharply into ice, whistles screamed across cold air and players crashed right into drills like they’d never left but Viktor…Viktor observed everything, every
