The duo had resumed their training, it remained 3 days before the championships and they left tomorrow for Nantes. Reiner and Berthold corrected the last little details of the choreography, but it was done with perfection. Armin had worked his solo, under the watchful eye of his partner, who scrutinized each of his movements. He was starting to trust her more and more, and it was good for him to trust someone. After intensive training, they had a coffee at the seaside, children were playing, enjoying the beautiful sun of this rare department. It was so relaxing that kind of thing, savor the landscape that unfolded before you ...
Armin had invited the blonde home, to discuss a little and especially to prepare the bags for Nantes. He rummaged in his closet when his sharp back pain suddenly returned, three days before the championships, it was not good. He clenched his teeth as he passed his hand over his pain, which did not go unnoticed by Annie, who had just arrived in the room.

- It's okay ? she asked, tilting her head to one side.
-My pain is back," replied the blond, rolling his shoulders before grabbing a garment.
- I'm going to give you a massage, lie down.
- Huh?
- It would be a pity to keep this pain for the championships? You do not trust me ?
-If so," said Armin nervously, passing his hand through his neck.
- Do you have skin cream? Something like this? Annie asked, folding her arms over her chest.
- Yes, in the bathroom, the cupboard on the right.

When Annie left the room, Armin blushed heavily, a massage? He swallowed nervously while waiting for the blonde's return, who returned for a few minutes with the cream in his right hand. She pointed to the chin bed for him to lie down while pulling off his top. Armin lay on his stomach as he felt Annie sit on the lower back, thighs on each side of his ribs. The blonde rubbed the cream in her hands before putting them on the muscular back of her partner.

- It's cold ? she asked, glancing at him.
-No," he said in a trembling voice, controlling his blush.
- Are you tense? Annie added, massaging the base of her neck with her thumbs to the base of the skull before glancing at the blond, who had her head turned to the side.
- This is the first time I have a massage smiles Armin. You're doing well, you've done it already?
- No, you're the first one in reality.

No idea why the blond was red, but that I let you judge.

The blonde's hands went down to the back, parallel to the spine, on each side, she began the massage by sliding upwards, spreading them once arrived at the shoulders. She repeated her movements and felt Armin relax more and more, facing his magic hands. He emptied his mind, putting aside the championships that really anguished him in reality, the fear of the eyes of others, the fear of missing a door and to make Annie fall on the ice, to be disqualified, of everything . He also wondered what would happen after the championships, Annie will return to the south and will remain in the north and resume a normal life as before. It had to end ... Her pain disappeared after several minutes of massage and silence, the blonde was focused on every movement she made on his back, relaxing the muscles of it and shoulders. As he fell into the arms of Morpheus, Annie patted his back to say that it was unfortunately over.


- How do you feel ? she asked after washing her hands and returning to the room.
- Relaxed, thank you smiles Armin putting back his top.
- Well, I'm going to pack my suitcase and we're thinking of tomorrow?
- Y-yes stuttered blond when Annie put his lips on his cheek before leaving the room, leaving him motionless like an idiot.

He was not in his normal state when he spoke to her ...
