Chapter Twenty One~ Ice Skating

New chapter, yay. Sorry that it took so long but I've been busy getting my life together what with graduating and being thrown into the adult world ass-first. So so so sorry I haven't been able to update but I am hoping to start cranking out chapters on a regular basis. Though there are no promises at the moment. Anyway, how about I let you all go and enjoy the story now~

Will's P.O.V.

Once we had picked up Adrian we were on our way to our double date. We were going to have lunch and then go ice skating afterward. It was kind of a unanimous vote that we go to Suki Hana for Japanese food so that's where Ron drove us. As couples we wound up splitting plates of food which was interesting to say the very least.
The Undertaker and Ronald were feeding each other in one of those cliche cute ways that you might see in a romance movie, both smiling and happy as could be. Grell and I were completely different though, we wound up having a battle over our food with the chopsticks because every time one of us would go to pick something up, the other would try to take it from them. Apparent we were both masters of using chopsticks because the battle actually got quite intense. Some of our food may have wound up on the ground but it kept Grell smiling so that was really all I cared about, and after all we both did have fun messing around like that.
After Ron and Adrian finished eating they just watched us battle it out because we were clearly eating at a slower rate. Ron started keeping score and needless to say I won. After all I am rather competitive and also Grell spent most of the battle giggling so therefore he was much more distracted than I was. The loss made Grell pout a bit and whine for a recount, which was obviously not possible since all of the food to be counted was in our stomachs being digested. He got over it though.
So after that escapade we wound up having to go back to everyone's homes due to the fact that none of us had dressed warm or thought to bring jackets along. Poor planning on everyone's part so of course we all threw around blame because nobody had thought about it when we had first left this morning.
So about half an hour later we were just about ready to go ice skating. Ron had resorted to borrowing Adrian's coat, beanie, scarf, and a different shirt because apparently he had been staying over at his boyfriend's for the past few days. Adrian himself was simply wearing a long grey trench coat that went to his ankles, no scarf or hat needed apparently, though his long hair was surely more than enough to keep his head and neck warm, it was almost as long as Grell's. Since I was somewhat in the same position as Ron and had spent the night at Grell's I was forced to borrow something of his. I grabbed a black pea coat from his closet that looked suitable enough and threw it on. Grell however had to change his entire outfit due to the rips up the front of his jeans. I was probably the least keen to the idea only because I really liked those jeans on him and I didn't get to play with the holes in them yet. I was actually looking forward to it once the date was over but I guessed it wasn't the end of the world, after all there were plenty of other ways that I could mess with him without sticking my fingers through rips in his jeans.
He walked out now wearing black leather pants, combat boots, a tight blood red t-shirt and a black trench coat that stopped just above his knees. My jaw dropped and I knew right away that I would have to keep a good hold on him since we were going out in public. Granted we weren't going to a gay bar but it was still public enough for me to be possessive. God damn he looked so good at the moment. I almost didn't want to go out now because in all honesty, although I would never say it to him, I wanted to jump him right then and there. It was too early for that for us but that fact didn't quell my desire to just run my hands all over him and make him recreate the sounds I heard him make in the shower this morning.
"What do you think Will darling~?" He asked me while spinning around and posing a few times. My mouth still just hung open and Ron had to physically shut it for me before any drool could escape from my mouth. Thank hell that they couldn't read minds or my boyfriend might have just slapped me a minute ago.
"He loves it, can we go now?" Ron said with a roll of his eyes.
"Ehehehe, If you had only put that outfit together sooner and worn it to school you would've had him in a heartbeat Grell." Adrian teased, laughing at my reaction.
"Wow, if only I had known." Grell said playfully with a wink while he passed me on his way back to the car. I followed without a word, really having nothing to say to any of them at the moment.
Another twenty minutes passed in the car and I still hadn't said anything to a single one of them, admittedly though it was partially due to staring at Grell still. My redhead would glance over at me now and then with a worried and slightly amused expression. He seemed to be enjoying the power he currently had over me just because of his incredibly attractive appearance. It wasn't my fault that he owned leather pants and combat boots, and decided to wear them in front of me. How he was going to ice skate in those I had no idea but he would look damn good while attempting. Regardless we were at the place now and had to get out of the car.
"Will are you alright?" Ron asked since we got out on the same side of the vehicle.
"Hm? Oh yeah, i'm fine." I said with a smile.
"Damn dude, and somehow you kept saying that you weren't gay only about a month or so ago." He teased me.
"I may have said it Ron, but that could have been to just get you off of my case about it." I defended. It was obviously false, but he didn't need to know.
"Yeah, yeah whatever you say." He rolled his eyes at me and we walked around the vehicle to our dates and then towards the door of the building.
It was free to skate, but it was $5 to rent a pair of skates so all of us except for Adrian wound up taking that route since he actually owned a pair. Grell had difficulty leaning over and getting his skates on in those pants and asked me to help.
"Will could you please put my skates on me? Please~" He asked with puppy dog eyes. I had to grin just a bit at the fact that he couldn't do it himself but I agreed and knelt in front of him while he sat on the bench. Right as I was slipping one of the skates onto his foot I heard the snap of a phone's camera. I looked over to find Ron with his phone out, squealing like a child.
"Sorry guys but I just had to. It's like a Cinderella moment." He showed us the picture and I had to agree that on some level we looked like we were imitating the scene, if Cinderella and the prince were gay teenagers with ice skates dressed like punks.
I looked away in favor of finishing getting Grell's skates on for him while he and Ron kept fawning over the picture. Apparently it was now going to be Grell's new lock screen background on his phone. Once that was done and our shoes were locked away in a shared locker, we were all ready to start skating. I offered my hand to Grell and he took it with a smile. It took me up until we were just about to step onto the ice for me to remember that I had no idea how to ice skate properly. Luckily, with the way Grell clung to me, I quickly learned that neither did he.
"Don't know how to skate?"
"Not a clue." He said with a faint chuckle.
"Me either." I admitted.
"Well this should be fun for us then, Will-darling~." Grell looked up at me with a grin and I couldn't help but grin back.
Adrian, being the one who owned his own pair of skates, was doing just fine, leading Ron around the rink and making sure he didn't fall. Grell and I on the other hand were stumbling around like newborn fawns and clinging to each other for dear life. Not that I could complain about that because it sure as hell kept anyone else from trying to talk to us, or better yet talk to Grell. Due to his long hair and thin form, a lot of times guys would think he was a female from the back and try to hit on him, and sometimes once they found out he was a guy they would still try because apparently there were a lot of bi-curious, bisexual, pansexual, and gay men in the area anyway. The funny thing was that there were almost none at our school other than us four that were out. Apparently coming out was something that was meant to be done after high school in this town.
But back to the main point, Grell was clinging to me near constantly and every now and then we would both fall over on our asses. We would just get back up and keep trying but it didn't help much that Ron would bump into us every other time he and Adrian passed us. We had kept to the sides of the rink, finding the wall very helpful in getting back up after each time we fell and catching us when we stumbled. Not to mention it took Grell even longer to get up in those leather pants that were practically painted onto him, not that I would even think of complaining about that. There was a lot of laughing on Grell's end at how bad we were and a lot of little screams whenever he would stumble or fall. It was so great to see him smiling so much. I couldn't remember the last time I had seen him this happy and giggly.
"Hey losers, take a step on the wild side and go out to the middle for a bit." Ron said as they passed us this time. Adrian seemed too occupied with dragging Ron around to bother adding on to the comment.
"Well now we have to." Grell said turning to me.
"Any why do we have to?" I asked with a sigh, being sarcastically annoyed.
"He called us losers, Will. It was clearly a challenge." Flamboyant and fiery as ever.
"I guess I have no choice here, huh?"
"Nope, not at all. Now come on." He started to drag me out towards the middle of the rink, wobbling as he shuffled about on the skates. I had no choice but to try and keep up because otherwise I would surely fall and take him down with me. Ron and Adrian were approaching the middle when Adrian just had to do probably the cutest couple thing possible. He wrapped his arms around Ron and picked him up slightly so his skates weren't on the ice anymore, and came to a slight stop, spinning them in circles. I was definitely envying his ice skating talent because it let him sweep his date off his feet, literally. Grell and I were just bambi on ice waiting to happen, as fun as it was, it wasn't the flawless princely antic that I could pull off in any other circumstance. I sighed and let it go, shaking my head and laughing when I saw Ron's face. He seemed to be startled by the whole thing, being picked up and spun around like that.
Grell and I eventually made it to the middle of the rink and stopped beside them.
"Who's a loser now?" Grell stuck his tongue out at Ron and clung to me a bit tighter, expecting to be pushed.
"Yeah, yeah, so you made it out here. But you're just going to fall any minute now." He chuckled.
"Ronnie, you can't do much better without me holding you up." Adrian chimed in with a smug look on his face. Ron just shushed him and buried his face in his boyfriend's chest. I laughed at that as well because it was just the kind of comment he deserved to put him back in his place. Cocky bastard. My best friend who's also a cocky bastard.
"So whose idea was this again?" I had to ask because I knew it wasn't my idea to go ice skating today.
"Mine, of course." Grell said with a smile.
"Hm, I would've guessed it was Adrian over here since he has his own skates and all." I shrugged.
"Nope. I just thought it would be a cute thing to do. I had no idea that we would have a pro in our midst." We both glanced at Adrian a moment before Ron started speaking up again.
"I wnn ha chaka" He mumbled, incoherently into the trench coat.
"What was that dearie?" Adrian asked, pulling his boyfriend's face slightly away from his coat and running a finger under his chin.
"I want a hot chocolate." He pouted.
"I guess we'll be back in a bit. Have fun you two." Adrian said before skating off with pouty Ron still in his arms.
And there we were, abandoned by our friends in the middle of a near empty ice rink with no skills whatsoever. Right when I thought things couldn't get more awkward, they did. The Dj of the place announced that they were now starting the next hour of 90's retro skate and switched the lighting from normal to these blacklights that made the ice glow. The song Closer by Nine Inch Nails started playing and I just looked at Grell with the expression of 'What do we do?' and tried not to think about the suggestive lyrics of one of my favorite songs.
"I guess we should probably move out of the middle, huh?" He said with a giggle.
"Probably." I nodded. "Oh wait, your skate's untied. Let me get it for you." I placed one knee on the ice so I could balance and not slip while getting his lace fixed. He giggled at me with this expression that told me I was being cute in his opinion. Once his lace was fixed I glanced up at him. He offered a hand to help me up and I took it, brushing the ice off the knee of my jeans before shuffling a little closer to him, our faces a mere two inches apart.
"Thank you, Will darling~" He cooed. I smiled at him and held onto his hand a little longer than I had realized. "So shall we go join them in the cafe?"
"That sounds lovely."
We both went to move, but instead of either of us backing up, we just moved towards each other, expecting the other would back up. Needless to say we crashed into each other and wound up falling again, Grell landing on top of me, just barely catching himself. He landed on his hands and knees on top of me, straddling me, our faces a measly inch and a half apart if not less. I looked up at him and blushed a bit, trying to think of anything else. Anything but the suggestive song. Anything but his skin tight pants. Anything but how close we were and how suggestive the position was. Anything but the fact that his long hair was shielding our faces from the outside world. Anything but this morning when I overheard him moaning my name in the shower.
"Will~" He cooed, pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him and couldn't even blink before he kissed me. I was extremely surprised but gave in after a second, kissing him back and blushing even darker. His warm lips were a nice contrast to the cold atmosphere and I couldn't help but slide my hands under his coat, gripping his hips and pulling him a bit closer. This was all purely for warmth of course and not a pathetic excuse to make out with my boyfriend in the middle of the ice rink and be an exhibitionist of sorts.
The nice moment was broken by some random passer-by shouting out "get a room" and laughing. My blush flared up again and Grell pulled away chuckling softly.
"Probably not the best place to make out huh?" He asked with a smile.
"Apparently not. Though I really didn't mind it."
"I could tell~" He grinned and got up, offering a hand to me to help me up too. Once we were up again there were a few people clapping for us which made me feel pretty awkward. I had no idea that we had attracted such a crowd from that or why they were clapping. Someone skated by and congratulated us and I was even more clueless but said thank you nonetheless. I gave Grell a confused look and he shrugged, seeming to be equally as clueless. We moved our way off the ice, hand in hand, both of us smiling because everyone we passed seemed to be grinning at us.
We eventually made our way to the rink's cafe where we found Adrian and Ron sitting at a table, talking to some strangers they had clearly just met. "And here they are, congratulations you two." Someone said which still wasn't making much sense. Ron's jaw dropped and Adrian giggled like a mad man, which was really not that atypical except he was much louder at the moment. The crowd of strangers cleared out as Grell and I sat down with our friends.
"What has got everyone acting so weird?" Grell asked while cuddling up to my side.
"Oh nothing, just YOUR ENGAGEMENT?" Ron screeched.
"WHAT?" My voice cracked and I stared at him like he was insane before looking to Grell and Adrian, wondering if anyone could make sense of this to me. There was no way that this was happening right now. There was no way that we could have possibly made an entire ice rink of people think that we were engaged.

So I hope you all enjoyed that and I hope to get a couple reviews. Most of you either seem shy to comment or just really don't have anything to say? Don't be afraid to tell me what you really think about it, I take constructive criticism pretty well so please, correct my grammar, correct my spelling, tell me if the plot sucks, let me know what you would like to see more of, or see less of. Any review is helpful. ^~^
