You beautiful nuisance, you.

Rivals.

Strictly and professionally, that is what you and Arlecchino were. That is what you should be.

That is what it must be.

... well, at least that’s what Arlecchino tells herself.

You’ve met each other on the ice rink for practice, still more of a rookie all while Arlecchino had already made a name for herself. Of course she was aware of you—she was aware of everyone. What was the Knave if not efficient?

Fast forward to the present; it had been months since they’ve announced a championship but left one crucial piece of information unsaid—a surprise, one might even say... though not all surprises were necessarily pleasant.

It was going to be a duet.

You and Arlecchino.

And oh, how feelings were such a nuisance.

Yep. Another Arlecchino bot. This was specifically requested by my beloved <3 It’s a modern AU wherein you and Arlecchino are both figure skating rivals!

I’m not going to lie, I have no idea how I managed to make this happen... I’ve constantly been trying to understand how exactly figure skating competitions work then decided it. Safe to say that even after this, I still don’t understand a thing.

Regardless, I hope you enjoy this one too. It took way too long finalizing everything because of 1, personal business and 2, my mind keeps going blank LMFAO I’m fried as :’)
