"Good morning, pumpkin!!" My mother says, as I flop on the couch, barely awake. I rub my eyes, looking at her weirdly.

"Look, pumpkin is a cute nickname! An showed me a ton of names to call my adorable son, so I'm trying them all~ I think I like pumpkin best!" She hums, making my toast. I should probably help her, but my body is extremely tired. I have never stayed up that long before. Even if new years was days ago.

"Enjoy~" She places it on the coffee table, along with my drink. I begin eating, but start dozing off. "Toya! Don't fall asleep, you've been invited somewhere!"

I tilt my head, and she comes to me with a message. Smudge is still laying down, he's extremely lazy when he's bored.

An texted my mom about ice skating. But I see their past messages of new names to call me. An...

I should probably get ready, they want me to be there at 12 A.M... But I'm so sleepy...

I sigh, and nod. She smiles, ruffling my hair. "I know you'll have a lot of fun! You haven't been to an ice rink before, and I know Akito will be there to protect you~!!"

I blush, sitting straight up. Well, that woke me up.

-*-*-

I arrived to the right location.. right..? I look around, worried if they're not here.

"Toya!! You made it!" An waves, and Akito walks up to me.

"I'm so glad you made it here safe. We're all done already, but I'll help you get skates and stuff." He says, and I follow him to where we get them.

This is my first time at a skating rink. I'm excited, but also scared. An invited Kusanagi, Otori, Tsukasa, Kamishiro, and obviously Azusawa. Akiyama and Ena couldn't make it.

"Woohoo! This is gonna be a blast!! Alright, join us when you're ready! Kohane, let's go skate and hold hands!!" An says, and Azusawa follows inside.

After I got my skates, I sit on the bench to put it on. I struggle a bit, but eventually figure it out. Does walking in ice skates always feel weird..?

Akito also helps me get to the rink, as I literally squeeze him with my grip. But An drags him away leaving me by myself.

I don't remember it being so crowded when I came here.. why are there suddenly so many people? And why are they getting so close to me... I hold onto the edge, struggling to stay still. I'm scared.

"Aoyagi! Are you doing okay?" Azusawa comes over to me, and I shake my head. She smiles, offering to help me by holding her hands. "I'll make sure you can skate without holding onto something."

I accept her offer, and almost fall immediately. Tell my mother and Akito I love them- "Ahh! I've got you, it's okay!" She tries telling me, since my legs are getting wobbly.

Azusawa starts off slowly, and if she goes too fast she tells me to squeeze her hand.

"You're doing well! Do you think you're going to be ready on your o--"

"AHHHHH!!!!" A girl shrieks, crashing into the both of us. I fall back, but someone grabs my arms from behind before I touch the ground. Oh, so the girl was An..

"Woah! That was a close one.. Are you okay?" Akito says, as I look up. I blush, nodding. He helps me get on my feet again, while my face is all red. Wait, did he push her?

Kusanagi and Otori rush over, helping the other two up.

"Kohane, I'm so sorry!!" An sobs, jumping onto her.

"It's okay, really! We'll both fall, don't jump onto me..!" Azusawa tries pushing her off.

"You hate me~!!!" An starts bawling. Already..? Azusawa takes her out to calm her down. Kamishiro chuckles, holding Tsukasa's hand.
