25 Days of Hellmas

Day 8: Ice Skating (Angel x Alastor)

Angel and Alastor have slowly started to become a recent couple. They would switch up on who picks a place for a romantic date. But sometimes, the dates don't always end well. Whether it was Angel getting harassed by fans, Alastor going into an overprotective rage, or Valentino crashing their date. But this time, it was Angel's turn to pick where he and Alastor were going for their date. With winter on the way, Angel figured out the perfect idea for their date, but he wanted to surprise Alastor. He did tell Alastor to dress warm for their date but that was all. Alastor was waiting downstairs in the lobby for Angel to show up.

Angel suddenly came down dressed in a pink winter coat, grey boots, light pink mittens, and a cute ribbon red scarf to match Alastor. Alastor's face turned as red as Angel's scarf, "You look beautiful, mon ange." Alastor said to Angel.

"Why thank you, Al," Angel said, blushing.

Alastor took Angel's hand then they walked out of the hotel. Angel made sure to cover Alastor's eyes so he didn't know where they were going for their date. After walking a few blocks from the hotel, Angel told Alastor to open his eyes. For their date, Angel had taken Alastor to an ice skating rink. Alastor looked at Angel confused as to why Angel brought him here. "What do you think, Al? I got Charlie to rent out the rink just for the two of us. A nice date night." Angel explained.

But before Alastor could say another word, Angel grabbed his arm and then pulled him inside the rink. Lucky for them, Charlie even left them each a pair of skates for the ice. Angel put his skates on and then went onto the ice to get a feel for it. Alastor just sat on the bench, watching his date skate on the ice like a graceful swan. He couldn't help but stare off into space seeing Angel skate. He was so lost in thought that he didn't see Angel skate over to him. Angel stepped off the ice then he asked Alastor to join him. But just as Alastor stood up, he tripped over the skates' laces and fell on top of Angel.

Their faces are just inches from each other. Alastor picked himself up feeling embarrassed about the whole incident. Angel brushed it off with a little giggle then he kneeled and helped tie Alastor's skates. Without another thought, Angel grabbed Alastor's arm and dragged him to the ice rink. Alastor fumbled onto the ice like a newborn fawn. He felt his legs give out and he would have fallen if Angel hadn't caught him. "Whoa. Easy there, Smiles. I didn't know you really fell for me." Angel joked.

Alastor let out a small laugh before Angel helped him to his feet."I don't think I have the legs for skating, dear." Alastor shyly state

"Come on Al, I got you. I won't let you go." Angel reassured.

Alastor and Angel began to skate together completely in harmony. Alastor was finally getting the hang of skating when he let go of Angel's hand and started skating by himself. Things were going well up until Alastor didn't pay attention to the ice. The ice started to crack beneath Alastor's feet as he twirled around in one spot. The cracks expanded around Alastor until the ice gave out and Alastor fell into the icy water. Angel spat out his drink then he ran out to where Alastor had fallen into and dove into the water. He thankful pulled Alastor out of the water just in time. Minus the fact that Alastor had caught a little cold.

Angel took Alastor home; he took off his coat and wrapped it around Alastor to help warm him up. When they got back to the hotel, Angel brought Alastor to his bedroom then he left to get warm drinks and snacks. He came back with a large bowl of popcorn and two mugs, one was a hot chocolate while another one was tea. Alastor wrapped himself in a blanket to get warm while he was still shaking and sniffing. "Well, today was sure somethin', wasn't it?" Angel asked, trying to break the ice.

Alastor sniffled, "I am n-n-never s-skating, ever again." Alastor said, shivering.
