NOT extra update, it's just a day early since Monday maintenance will interfere with my normal update time

There will be no update tomorrow

Okay, so they were really here. Saguru hadn't been held up at the station, so now the three of them were at an indoor skating rink. Kaito shifted nervously, idling just off of the ice, watching Saguru help Yozora onto the ice. The girl succeeded in not immediately face planting, so she was already better at skating than him.

"Aren't you going to join us?" Yozora asked, looking at Kaito as she held onto Saguru's arm for balance. The ice was slippery, like she'd expected it to be.

Kaito held back a nervous sigh "Yeah, I was just mentally preparing myself for when my face inevitably meets the ice" The magician shifted, eyeing the ice with suspicion as he grabbed onto the side of the rink. Holding onto Saguru with Yozora would probably end with all three of them falling "At least we're the only ones here" It was after hours, but the owners had owed Saguru some favours. Kaito stepped onto the ice, immediately yelping as he slipped and fell into the side.

Saguru hid a smile behind his hand "Do you need help up?" Kaito had hit the side pretty hard.

The magician shook his head, pulling himself to his feet "I'm good" Wearing a helmet had been a good idea.

"I'd thought that you were exaggerating on how bad you were" Yozora smiled, watching Kaito slip had been funny.

"I wish" Kaito huffed. He then turned towards Saguru "Okay, teach us. I'll actually listen to you this time" He'd told Yozora that he would so that's what he would do.

The blond smiled "Very well, make sure to pay attention" He started showing the two of them how to move, stop and turn around. Making them attempt each action a few times before showing them again, repeating until they- or at least Yozora got it. The girl was catching on a lot faster than Kaito, so while the magician worked on older techniques, Saguru taught her newer ones.

By the end of the night, Yozora was steady on the ice. Kaito on the other hand was sore and drained. He'd fallen and gotten so many bruises, sprains, and even some broken bones throughout the lesson. Thankfully he'd been able to heal the serious injuries quickly. He no longer immediately fell when his feet touched the ice, but he was still very unstable and couldn't change directions- or even go in the same direction for too long. Kaito was just glad that Yozora was capable enough to skate decently on her own.

"Today was fun" Yozora beamed as she removed her skates. She'd gotten some bruises, but Kaito had been quick to heal them for her "I really liked skating"

"Today was interesting" Kaito laughed "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself" It made it worth it.

Saguru eyed Kaito, the magician was a bit pale "It was nice to actually skate with you for once" Kaito had probably gotten more hurt than they'd realized. It was good that it was already late.

Kaito smiled "Maybe one day we can do it without me dragging you to the ground with me" Skating was a nice activity for couples. It would be nice to be able to properly partake in it.

The blond's lips quirked up "Hopefully, but even falling with you is fine" Kaito's concentrated face was really cute. It was rare that the other genuinely struggled at something while trying his hardest at it. When it did happen, it was never for too long.

"You just wait until I end up having to fix one of your teeth because I made you fall" Kaito Grinned. It was a very likely future outcome.

"It'll still be fun" Saguru replied.

Yozora smiled, the interaction was cute "Can we have hot chocolate when we get back?" A nice warm drink sounded nice.

"I like that idea" Kaito chimed in. Chocolate was always good.

Saguru checked the time "I suppose it won't hurt" It was nearing 10pm, but they'd done a fair amount of exercise today. The sugary beverage shouldn't hinder Yozora's ability to sleep "No mini marshmallows though, it's too late for excessively sugary drinks"

Kaito pouted but Yozora nodded "Okay, that's fair" Saguru wasn't too fond of allowing too much sugar so close to bed, so she counted this as a win. Kaito obviously didn't care but abided with Saguru's wishes anyways to be fair. Yozora was pretty sure that Kaito wouldn't listen to Saguru if not for her presence. He'd been pretty liberal with the sugar during the mission.

The three of them packed up their supplies and headed home in the car. When they got back, Kaito immediately started making the hot chocolate once everything had been brought inside. He added in some mint to enhance the flavour. Mint and chocolate went well together. He didn't like peppermint though, it was too strong. Kaito snuck some cream into his and Yozora's drinks, along with some mini marshmallows, making sure that they melted before handing Yozora her cup. She'd seen him put them in.

"It tastes so good" Yozora beamed, it was so creamy and thick. Much better than some of the ones that she'd tried before.

Saguru hummed, eyeing their cups suspiciously as he drank his own. He hadn't see the whole process, so he just knew that Kaito had snuck in extra sugar into their drinks "I agree, it tastes good. Though my drink is coloured differently than yours" It was darker.

Indigos gleamed "It only looks like that because you have a white cup and we have black ones"

Yozora hid a smile behind her cup. She hadn't realized that the cup colour hadn't been random. That was smart.

"I would be inclined to believe you if I didn't know you" Saguru replied.

Kaito stuck out his tongue "Cheater"

"Of course" Saguru rolled his eyes.

"Next time can we try putting bananas into it?" The two adults gave Yozora a funny look, she blushed, looking away "I see chocolate syrup and bananas on desserts, and I've seen banana milk. Wouldn't adding bananas work too?"

Saguru blinked "I don't think it works like that"

"Sure, I'll use banana milk instead of real milk next time" Kaito offered. Why not? The worst outcome would just be getting a horrible taste stuck in their mouths. 

Me: A cute chapter filled with playful banter~

Comment? ^-^

I used to love skating, but then my pyro sibling burnt the house and my skates became no more. Maybe one day I'll buy myself new figure skates, doing tricks was fun.

Christmas lights on palm trees are funny •3•
