CHILDREN'S PRINCESS ♡

Amber x Yamaguchi!reader

(Final part)

You wanted to surprise Amber, so here you were, cooped up in some fancy hotel. Amber’s family had just left your room as they would look after Yuri for you.

Amber tries to FaceTime you, but you decline it, not wanting to expose the fact that you’re here in Milan.

You instead call her as you put on your AirPods. “Heyyy, mamas!”

Right off the bat, Amber senses something’s off. 

“Hello, my love!” Amber answers back, as it looks like she’s still at the rink practicing for competition.

“Why are you calling? Can you FaceTime me so I can see your beautiful face?” Amber furrows her eyebrows before bringing her water bottle top to her lips.

Before you can respond, there’s a knock on the door.

You make the mistake of not double-checking that you hit the mute button.

“Miss Yamaguchi? Your ride is here.” The hotel staff lets you know that your car service has arrived. “Grazie.” You thank them. When you return to your phone, you realize your mistake.

“Are you?-”

“Sorry! Got poor reception so I’ll call you back.”

“God damn it! Oh, goddamn it!” You groan out as you quickly grab your Ralph Lauren beanie hat right before walking out the door.

Meanwhile, your girlfriend was scheming. “What’s going on, Glenn?” Alysa walks up to Amber as she shakes water onto her, as she had just gotten out of the shower.

“Alysa!” Amber groans out as she brushes off the water to the best of her abilities. “Sorry! Penny for your thoughts?”

“Mmm… I just found out that Yn is here in Milan,” Amber replies back as she slips on her boots against the long locker bench.

“Lemme see your phone.” Alysa motions her hand out. Amber rolls her eyes as she unlocks her phone and hands over her phone.

“Mmm…oh snap! She’s here!” Alysa raises the screen up for Amber see that your location dot is here at the rink.

Amber wanted to surprise you too. So, here you were wandering the locker room hallway, looking for your girlfriend. When you cross paths with a random worker, you ask about her.

“Hi, excuse me. Do you know where I can find Amber Glenn?”

“Oh, my god! You’re Yn Yamaguchi!”

“Oh, my gosh, thanks! Did you want to take a picture with me?”

“That would be awesome!” You go to take the phone from their hand, someone intercepts. You look up to see that it’s your girl. “I can take it for you!”

You and the worker smile for the camera. When Amber returns the phone back the worker looks between the two of you. “I just wanna say, y’all are cute as a couple.”

“We aren’t together.” You blurt. The worker quickly apologizes before walking off.

Amber pulls you into a supply closet. “So we’re not?-”

“I don’t know! I just don’t feel like its anybody’s business that we’re dating. It already sucks that my mom is a well known figure skater. The public has been in my face since day one.”

Once you’re done ranting, you look at Amber, who’s silent. “I’m sorry! I don’t get you to understand.”

“Baby! I love you no matter what. I won’t leave you even though you want our relationship to be private. On another note, I’m so happy you’re here in Milan!” Amber wraps her long muscle-y arms on either side of your hips. You being the shorter one in the relationship you wrap your arms around the back of her neck while you get onto your tippy toes. You pull Amber in for a passionate kiss, which then turns heated as she hoists you by your thighs and around her waist.

Before things can go any further, you get a call from your phone.

“Mmph! I gotta head to the hill! This trip isn’t just pleasure for me. They needed another commentator last minute.” Amber lets out a small groan as you slowly jump off her.

“Meet you in the cafeteria for dinner?”

“It’s a date!”

—

After commentating the prelims you were hungry, so you decided to stop at some local restaurant. You get some pesto spaghetti dish with some Italian soda as you don’t really drink a lot of alcohol.

It’s been four years since the two of you have been together, so you decided what better way to do the engagement here in Milan, even if it meant exposing your relationship out to the world.

As Isabeau has family here in Italy, she knows the best places. She had recommended a local jeweler that was a couple of minutes away from your location. That meant that you would have to miss eating dinner with your soon-to-be fiancée.

You sent her a quick message saying that you wouldn’t be able to make it to dinner before going into the shop.

Not wanting to expose yourself to the public. The shop owner allowed you to come through the back.

“Ciao, Bella.” The owner greets you by kissing the sides of your cheeks in an Italian like manner.

“Oh, shucks, Bruno! Me beautiful?!” you playfully flirt with the shop owner.

You take a look at the glass counter while he goes in the back to get out your box.

Once you found out about Amber qualifying for the Olympics, you asked Isabeau for recommendations, and from there Bruno worked on your custom ring for you.

When Bruno comes back, he sets the black velvet ring box on the counter and opens it up. Lo and be hold it’s a giant ass diamond with a gold band attached to it.

“You know, my daughter is a… what’s the word?”

“Lesbian?”

“Ah! Lesbian! She has a wife and a boy.”

“Awww! That’s so sweet! I’ve been with my girl roughly four years now.”

“She’ll love it!”

“U-uhhh… she better! I literally dropped twenty grand on this ring! Oh gosh! I gotta go! I’ll make sure to tag you on Instagram once I propose!”

“I look forward to seeing it!”

And with that, you leave. On your way back, you call Isabeau in full panic mode.

“Yo, I think I’m gonna piss my fucking pants here!”

*cough*

*cough*

“Oh, my god! Jesus Christ, I’m dying here!”

Isabeau had been drinking on some water as she’s eating in the cafeteria.

“Yn! In the middle of eating dinner!”

“My bad! I got the ring, but I’m starting to have second thoughts here!” You shake your knee uncontrollably.

“Oh, my god! You’re killing me, Yamaguchi! You love her. She’s love you. The two of you are meant to be together forever, okay?”

You pull your phone away from your ear for a minute. “Ohhh.” You let out a shaky breath. “You got this, bitch!” You hype yourself up.

“Yn? You still there?”

You put your phone back to your ear. “Yeah, I’m here. Thanks for the pep talk, Izzie!”

—

“Who were you talking to?” Alysa asks as she and Amber sit down with their trays. “U-uhhh… no one important?” Alysa rolls her eyes while Amber raises one of her brows at Isabeau.

Isabeau just tucks her lips into a straight line, not wanting to spill the beans. “Isabeau Levito! What’s going on?!”

“Girl, not the whole name!” Alysa laughs at the oldest blade angels girl.

“I’m sorry. I can’t say!” Isabeau finishes the rest of her food and leaves the table.

“She’s keeping something from me,” Amber mutters underneath her breath as Alysa gets up from the table.

—

You’ve finished the commentary for ski jumping. Unfortunately for team USA, they weren’t able to place on the podium, but you had other things on your mind.

Today is Amber’s short program competition. You would be in attendance.

After Isabeau’s weird call, Amber assumes it has to do with you, so she’s been distancing herself from you as she’s so afraid the truth might be bad.

So here you were, sitting in the family and friends section that’s fairly close to the rink. Both Amber’s parents, along with her younger sister, are here. “Girl, you got this!” Brooke tries to calm you down as she sees that your knee is all shaky. Amber’s dad, who’s sitting on the other side of Brooke, reaches over and holds your hand still. “I can tell how much you and my daughter love each other.”

You give him a shaky smile back and you face your attention back as Amber starts. Isabeau, who’s down by the other skaters, looks for you in the crowd. Once the two of you lock eyes, she mouthes, ‘Come down!’

That’s exactly what you do. By the time you get down to the skaters’ area, you miss the part where Amber stumbles on her triple loop. You look up to see the crowd making a loud reaction. Amber has a look of disappointment once her program gets done.

“I could’ve done that better!” She shouts over to her coach.

You make yourself hidden until Amber receives her final scores.

Ouch! It affected Amber so much that she ends in 13th place.

When Amber walks towards the other girls, you get into position. You dig out the ring box from your team jacket as you slowly get down on one knee. Amber immediately knew what was happening. Having multiple cameras shoved into your face, your knee starts to shake. Amber, noticing this, drags you up for a kiss. “Yes! A million times yes!” Amber rests her forehead onto yours.

“Help me put on the ring?” Amber says in a whisper like tone.

When you finally get the chance to open the ring box, Amber is stunned in shock. The rock is so big that light reflects off it, nearly blinding Amber. “Baby! How much did it cost you?!” Amber grits through her teeth.

“Don’t worry about it! You’re worth every penny!” You give her a playful wink.

Since you literally spent, twenty grand, you obviously got it insured.

Once you slip the ring on, the whole arena bursts into applause.

—

It’s later after the competition. The two of you are cuddling on the hotel bed with Yuri in the middle. Yuri has her tiny hand wrapped around Amber’s ring finger. You watch your daughter and fiancée while you’re on your side while resting your hand against the side of your face.

“Sooo, that phone call with Isabeau?-”

“We were talking about ring stuff.”

“That took a lot of guts for you to do. Live television?!”

“I know! I know!”

Tired of resting your arm into the mattress, you rest your back against the headboard as you edit an Instagram post of you and Amber putting on the ring.

“I’m so proud of you, baby!” Amber reaches over Yuri and plants a quick, soft kiss on the top of your head.

—

Roughly an hour later Yuri wakes up in hysterical tears as Amber attempted to leave while she was asleep.

“You’re breaking my heart, Yu-Chan!” Amber crouches down, trying not to make herself cry. “Hun, Ams has to go back to the village so she can see Auntie Izzie and Lys!”

“I want somethin.”

“What do you want, my love?”

Exhausted from doing press, Amber brought her bag from the competition. She digs through her bag and finds the mascot, Tina.

“Do you want this?” Amber motions out the mascot to Yuri but pulls it back.

“Promise to be a good girl for Mommy?”

“I promise! I promise!” Yuri starts to whine again. Amber looks over to you to see if it was alright. You nod your head yes, and Amber gives Tina over to Yuri.

“Stuffie!” Yuri squeezes the plushie tight once its in her grasp. This gives Amber time to sneak out. ‘I’ll see you tomorrow!’ You mouth out.
