cw: su*cide, murder, death

max and charles are best friend since childhood, went to the same school and both joined figure skating. max and charles were a natural skater, they glide in the ice, perfection always shows when they perform.

however, max attracts the attention of everyone to the point where charles’ admiration to turn into jealousy and then envy after being compared to max and became the dutch man’s shadow. one night, burning from desperation, charles’ prayed with all his beliefs that he becomes the number one figure skater.

from max’s pov, they were fine at same time realizing he loves his best friend more than anything but scared to confess his feelings.

one day, he noticed that the monegasque starts to distance himself from max. ignores him. when max tries to confront him in a staircase (“if you keep ignoring me, our friendship is over”) but charles’ treated him as an invisible person. overwhelmed with his feelings, max hugs charles from behind and (“i can’t lose you, charles. you’re my best friend. we promised to be together forever, right?”) when charles tried to get away from max, something pushed max down the stairs causing him to breaks his legs and leads to a career injury.

charles attempts to visit max but he was terrified to face max’s wrath. but that same night, he woke up in the middle of the night, seeing max beside his bed. (“congratulations, charles. you got into the national competition. you’re number one.”) and charles cries and max hugs him. (“don’t worry about me, schatje. you’re the only one i need.”)

the next day, people are looking at charles with worry, when he asked his friend… (“max passed away last night. he jumped from his hospital window.”)

fast forward, horror starts to disturb charles. hearing max’s voice. seeing a familiar figure skating in the dark. cold arms wrapping around him in bed at night.

charles tried to pray again, max appears and hugged him from behind (“charles, it’s so lonely here. i’m scared to go alone and leave you. don’t make me wait for so long. let’s be together now, hm?”) he hugged the monegasque so tight, breaking his body and slowly pushed him to the ledge leading to his death.
