Under The Cold Moonlight

Chapter 11- More like a date

Its been a day now since Winnie arrived to spend the summer vacation with Augustine and well-it have been doing great, greater than Winnie expected it to be. Going to a cafe, drinking, and spending a night with his best friend(aka sleeping together). Although that only marks day 2 and theres alot of things they haven't done yet that Winnie thinks they should. His first plan of drinking with him was quite of an success but it can be better and hopefully the next one will.

~~~

The morning passed by very good. The fact that he didn't messed up cooking breakfast was a sign that things will go smoothly he thinks.

He told Augustine to get ready because they're going out and while his friend is doing that, he himself should also be getting ready so he did.

A white colored pants, white t-shirt, and his iconic light-ish blue sweater vest. One last look at the mirror and he opened the door making his way to the small living room to see his friend waiting for him.

"Lets go!"

Winnie said excitedly and Augustine simply nods in response. Opening the door infront of them Winnie gestures that Augustine goes first and the other did with a obvious hint of flusteredness in his face. Winnie can almost hear Augustine muttering something but somehow it wasn't as loud enough for Winnie to understand anything that his best friend can possibly said.

Both of them entered the building's elevator, a small 'ding' can be heard as the elevator's door closed.

"So where are we going now?"

Augustine says trying not to sound very interested to what the other will be planning.

"Well remember the last time we both went to the ice rink?"

Augustine raises his eyebrow slightly giving Winnie a kind of suprised and confused look at his question yet it wasn't actually suprising for them to go to the ice rink since they do go there very often for hockey practice or anytime they want.

"I think it was last winter..."

"Yeah! So I thought it will be great if we go there!"

Just as Winnie finishes the elevator door opened making another 'ding' sound.

"Yeah ofcourse it is." Augustine remarked.

Two of them stepped out of the elevator and got an taxi. The ride was fairly quiet as the two anticipated it to be. Even the driver was nice enough to turn the radio's volume down on behalf of their request. As the taxi continues to head to their next destination, the brown head was absent-mindedly looking at the window seemingly lost in thoughts while passing by familiar buildings and structures. The sun's light going through them constantly being block by massive shadows.

Winnie can't helped but to gazed in awe at the sight of his friend being illuminated by the sun's light continually making the scene quite precious as it is. (Winnie always pondered on what he was feeling between him and Augustine everytime and it always changes whenever something happens like the car crash).

"We're here."

The driver declared breaking the silence between them.

"Oh thank you!"

Winnie said to the driver, nodding in response before leaving the two best friend for themselves.

"Well then, what are we standing here for? Lets go inside!"

"Lets go then."

Augustine responded rolling his eyes at the others enthusiasm as he started following his best friend inside. As they did, cold air started to enveloped them getting Augustine and Winnie chills. Augustine swears that despite living his whole life in very cold weather it always seems to get him but nevertheless it wasn't close from him and Winnie experience.

"You okay?" Winnie asked while putting on his figure skates.

"Yeah...just cold."

"Oh I forgot is your leg okay?"

"It took you long enough to ask. Yes its fine Win don't worry about it."

"Heh just checking!"

Winnie gave Augustine a relieved smile before leaving him to ice skate.
Its been so long since Augustine last ice skate after the car crash, it left him a broken leg that took a couple months before completely recovering although after that he never went back to playing hockey since. Augustine took his steps and...

It shouldn't be that hard to adju-

"AUGUSTINE!"

Winnie quickly rushed to where his friend at seemingly trying to not giggle when arriving.

"Auggie...are you okay?"

A muffled sound escapes Winnie's mouth, in effort to not make fun of the brown head he attempts to cover up his mouth. Yet Augustine finds himself trying to stand up while the other was wheezing at him since that is what best friends do.

"Haha very funny."

Augustine said struggling to regain his composure.

After laughing for a while Winnie eventually helped Augustine keeping his balance as he lets him adjust to the ice and he did.

"Don't look at me like that."

"Haha I don't!"

The two went on skating for a max of 30 or so minutes, gliding side by side as Winnie show off some of his learning in figure skate since recently he decided to take on figure skating in hopes of improving his confidence(that's what Winnie said).

"Hey Auggie...just wondering if you'll still be playing hockey or not?"

Augustine didn't answer for a moment. As they slow down their pace Winnie still seems to hold his curiosity for an answer not until he heard Augustine speak.

"Well I remembered being offerred to couch hockey for an elementary school..."

Augustine stole a glance at Winnie sparking up with joy and hope in his eyes.Blood rushing up to his face pinching the bridge of his nose trying to stop it from happening.

"You alright?" Winnie asked.

"Just cold..." Augustine said embarrassed he stopped pinching his nose and just covered the bottom half of his face and just about he was opening his mouth to speak he was cut off when a group of people bump into him forcing him to lose balance. Good thing Winnie at the time was just besides him easily catching Augustine at the back.

"I think we need a break..."

Winnie said, still holding Agustine in a way that it looks like Winnie is hugging Augustine in the back which is quite cute to be honest. Head is over Augustine's still holding from the back while Augustine on the other hand can feel his chest pounding as he keeps Winnie close for support. Augustine just simply nodded at Winnie's question, the warmness of each other's body contact just melts Augustine despite the sheer cold of the ice rink.

Eventually Winnie lets go of Augustine forcing his body to loose contact of the warmth radiating from the cheerful blonde.

"Sorry Winn..."

"Hm? What are you apologizing for?"

"..."

"Its not your fault Augustine they're the one who bump into us."

Winnie moves closer besides Augustine and puts a hand on the brown head's shoulders reassuring him to not blame himself.

"Hey if you want we can take a walk...maybe that will calm your mind down!"

"I guess sure."
