genre: friends to lovers
ship: hyunjeong (hyunjin x jeongin)
warnings: none

hyunjin watched as jeongin chatted away with the person working the rental counter. the two used to roller skate together and were seemingly catching up as hyunjin waited for someone to grab him a pair of skates.

as a pair was placed on the counter and his shoe size called out, he walked over and grabbed the pair. jeongin then said goodbye to his friend and picked up his personal skates from the ground before walking to hyunjin.

the two walked over to the main area and began changing from their shoes to their skates. hyunjin struggled for a bit before they slid on, proceeding to lace up his first skate as jeongin stood up.

seeing that he was slightly behind, jeongin knelt down and tied hyunjin's other skate before holding out his hand to help him up.

"ready?"

"no."

"cmon, it'll be great!"

"you're not gonna fall on your ass immediately."

"neither will you. just follow my lead." jeongin said and pulled hyunjin over to the rink.

the rink wasn't very busy, but there was still a decent amount of people. most of them were little kids with parents and groups of friends hanging out.

as they walked out onto the ice, hyunjin immediately clung to the wall, desperate not to lose his footing. jeongin chuckled and slid up next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"you've gone ice skating before, haven't you?"

"yeah, that doesn't mean i'm good at it."

slowly, jeongin coaxed hyunjin away from the wall and the two began to move at a leisurely pace. hyunjin was clinging onto jeongins arm, who kept moving along and reassuring the older.

for a while they were fine until jeongin said that hyunjin should try balancing on his own. he vehemently refused, saying that wanted to go back to the wall. after a while, jeongin let go of his arm and allowed hyunjin to move on his own. the elder did his best, but ended up wobbling and falling over after about a minute.

jeongin went over and helped him up.

"see? that wasn't too bad you did great."

"i literally fell. how is that great."

"you balanced longer than you fell."

hyunjin glared at the younger.

"anyways, you're a dancer! aren't you supposed to have good balance?"

"maybe when there i'm not balancing on three centimeter long pieces of metal."

"i guess that's fair."

they skated and talked for a little while, hyunjin occasionally falling or holding onto jeongin for balance. eventually, he headed off the ice.

after taking his skates off, he walked to a table and sat down. his feet ached and he was sure that there were bruises littering his legs after falling down so many times.

from the rink, jeongin leaned over the wall and called out to hyunjin.

"done so soon?"

"i'm over it."

"suit yourself."

for a while, hyunjin watched jeongin. he had been ice skating for several years and did competitive figure skating, so he wasted no time in having fun on the ice.
