You were in your element: sliding your feet gracefully over the roller-skating rink floor, swaying your hips to the R&B music that played above your head. Your skates moved in sync with the beat and tempo of the song. You felt weightless as you twirled around in the center of the skating rink. You knew you were showing off, but you didn't give a damn.
This moment, this feeling was everything to you. Peter was sitting on the bench away from you and the rest of the skaters, tying on his skates. He kept getting distracted watching you move across the rink, unable to tear his eyes away from the way you moved your body in your skates. You were free and uninhibited and it felt like you had him under some sort of spell.
You eventually left the skating rink and skated towards Peter before you slid to a stop in front of him.
"You comin'?" you asked. "It's about to be a couple's skate and I don't wanna miss that."
"Uh...yeah. Yeah, I'm coming. I just need a minute." Peter said, gesturing a hand to his un-tied skates.
"It's been five minutes, Peter." you laughed. "What, was I distracting you with all my cool moves?"
"Kind of, yeah," Peter confessed with a shy smile.
"I'm just so fine when you see me out there that you can't stand it, can you?" you teased with a shit-eating grin.
This was true, but Peter didn't want to feed into your ego any further than he already did.
"S-Shut up!"
"Here, lemme help you." You giggled before you squatted down and helped Peter finish tying on his skates before you stood upright and helped him to his feet.
Peter wobbled a bit before grabbing onto your shoulders for support.
"Sorry..." Peter apologized with a nervous smile.
"It's okay." you smiled back with reassurance. "It's your first time so it'll take some getting used to. You just have to learn how to find your balance and footing."
"You made it look so easy back there."
"That's only because I've had years of practice. The first lesson, don't be afraid to fall. It's how you learn."
"Got it."
"Good, let's get out there."
Peter reluctantly let go of your shoulders and held onto your hand as you guided him out on the skating rink.
