skating with adam (requested)

(A/N: This imagine was requested by maa_ro. I hope you like it!)

       I watched from the stands as my boyfriend, Adam's, hockey practice came to an end. The Ducks were looking good after their win against varsity. It was good to see Adam so happy again. As the Ducks started to leave the ice, I made my way down to the boards as Adam skated over to me. He was so graceful on his skates it made me jealous. See, I couldn't skate to save my life. Even though I grew up in Minnesota, I just could not get the hang of it.

       "Hey, Y/N. I'll go get my stuff and then we can go, okay?" Adam said as he reached me.

       "Okay." I said back. Adam pressed a chaste kiss to my cheek before skating towards the others. "Take your time!" I called out before he disappeared from sight.

       I sat down on the bleacher closest to me before something caught my eye. A pair of skates. Curious, I walked over to them and picked them up. Checking the tag on the tongue, I found that they were my size. Looking back over my shoulder, I saw no one around. Before I could stop myself, I changed into the skates and climbed over the wall...and fell flat on my butt.

       I crawled back to the side and pulled myself up. Trying again, I pushed off the wall and made it a few feet away before promptly falling on my butt again. Huffing in anger, I carefully pulled myself to my feet. Before I could try again, however, my borrowed skates came out from under me and I fell yet again.

       "Y/N! Are you okay?"

       I looked upside down at the entrance to the ice and saw Adam skating towards me, his hockey stick in one hand and his bag over the opposite shoulder. He came to a gentle stop before me and reached out a hand to help me up. I gratefully accepted it and let him pull me to my feet.

       "I'm fine. Just frustrated that I can't get the hang of these damn things!" I said, feeling myself getting upset. I felt tears prick the corners of my eyes but a hug from Adam kept them at bay.

       "Let me help you." Adam said, pulling back from the hug.

      "It's no use, Tiger. I'm a lost cause." I sighed.

       Adam chuckled before dropping his bag on the ice next to us. He then grabbed his hockey stick, one hand on each end, and held it up. "Here. Grab it."

       I looked at him funnily but did what he said. Slowly, he started skating backwards, pulling me along with him. I felt myself start to wobble a bit but, surprisingly, I didn't fall.

       "You need to bend your knees a bit more." Adam said, demonstrating for me. "And you need to trust your edges."

       I nodded and did as instructed. Before I knew it, we were skating around the rink. And I wasn't falling! "I can't believe it! I'm doing it! I'm really doing it!" I said, excitedly.

       "I knew you could, love!" Adam said, beaming back at me.

       We skated a little while longer until Adam's coach came and told us he needed to lock up. By the time we were leaving, my ankles were a bit sore but I didn't care. Cause now, I could skate with my boyfriend!
