Leo's POV

We walked the short distance to Vic's house where Tony and Mike were waiting. Mike ran over and gave me a massive hug. I couldn't help but smile.

"You have a gorgeous smile, wear it more," he whispered in my ear. I blushed as we started to walk to the metro station. The train ride was short and soon enough we were at the UTC Ice Sports Center. We all got our skates and quickly put them on. I was the last one on the ice. As soon as I stepped on I started to fall. I quickly grabbed onto the side as Vic came over to me.

"Could you teach me?" I asked quietly.

"You've never been ice skating?"

"Once when I was really young." He grabbed my hand and showed me how to move my feet. He told me to hold onto the edge and helped me go around the rink. Once I got the hang of it he went in front of me and held my hands. Vic started skating backwards and pulled me with him. I started to fall forwards, but Vic caught me, his lips meeting mine before he helped me stand up. I heard Mike whistle from across the rink and I couldn't help but blush. Eventually the other guys went home and it was just Vic and I.

"Hey Vic?" I asked, taking my skates off.

"Yeah?"

"Do you wanna come back to my place?"

"Sure."

We made it back to my house and I immediately went to my room. I pulled my record player out from my closet and dragged it into the living room. I plugged it in and quickly went back to my room pulling out my favorite vinyls. I pulled out 'Electric Ladyland' 'Let's Dance' 'Rumors' 'Escape' 'Dark Side of the Moon' and 'Kid A'. I took the stack into the living room and put 'Dark Side of the Moon' on first. I pulled Vic over and told him to lie down with his head towards the window with his eyes closed.

"Okay, open your eyes," I said, after opening the blinds.

"Woah."

"I know," I said laying down next to him. The moon shone through the window surrounded by millions of little stars.

"There's a million little stars tonight," I said. "And a single one could save my life," I whispered. We laid there in a peaceful quiet, Pink Floyd in the background.

"Lee?"

"Vic?"

"I... I want to share something I wrote for you," he said. I nodded my head and he started.

"In the silhouette of the light from a dark sun, an unresponsive image standing blue and numb.Cold, winter winds that crisp my heart with sleet and snow.I've run out of patience, tears, and hope.I told myself love does not conquer all and then I found you.Taking my heart into protection from the cold light of loneliness.No longer that image standing blue and numb.The sleet and snow are dwindling away to a puddle of clear, blue rain of none.

"I know we haven't know each other for too long, but there's something special about you. I still can't figure it out. Maybe it's the way your smile lights up the room, or the sheer amount of talent you have. All I know is, is that I have never met somebody like you before and I never want to let you go. Will you be my girlfriend?" By the time he finished I had tears in my eyes. I nodded my head 'yes'. He cupped my face in his hands and placed a soft, love filled kiss, upon them. He laid back down next to me, grabbing my hand in his.
