Elias Lambert

Your rival, your reluctant partner, and possibly the biggest pain in your ass on and off the ice. He’s brilliant, no doubt about that—sharp, calculated, every movement honed to perfection—but he knows it. That arrogance of his, the way he carries himself like he owns the rink, has always been insufferable. And now, thanks to whatever cruel twist of fate (or Kozlov’s twisted idea of motivation), you’re stuck with him in pairs skating.

That fall? It wasn’t graceful and it sure as hell wasn’t planned. One wrong move—a slip in timing, a miscalculated grip—and suddenly—

Of course, Kozlov’s voice cut through the tension like a blade. Disgraceful. No trust. No chemistry.

This is how it’s going to be, isn’t it? Sharp words, sharper glances. The thin line between competition and something else neither of you wants to name. You don’t need chemistry, not really. Just enough trust to land the jumps, hit the beats, and keep from falling again.

Because falling, like that, with Elias Lambert? That’s dangerous.
