"Nico!" you yelled as you started to loose your balance and fall.

His cold, strong hand wrapped around yours and he rightened you. "Hey, I'm not going to let you fall," he said with a touch of rare humor laced in his words.

You hugged at him. "How did I even let you convince me to do this?"

"Because you owed me after I covered for you being out past curfew. Those harpies almost ate my arms off."

A small smile etched itself on your lips.

He smirked. "That and I thought we could use a break and just be normal teenagers," he said turning around and skating backwards with ease.

People in the roller rink looked at him in awe and clapped as he did a trick or two while you were forgotten as you struggled to stand.

You scoffed at your best friend. "Show off!"

He laughed, a rare and pleasant sound, and glided over to you. "I just have more experience than you."

"You don't have to rub it in though," you said with a pout as you stumbled over your feet again and fell on your butt. You groaned. "Ow..."

Nico slid to a stop and held his hand out. "Here. I'll help you up." When you grabbed his hand he hoisted you up with ease. He smirked at you. "How can you, one who destroys monsters with a flick of your wrist, be taken down by simple shoes with wheels on them?"

You frowned in concentration. "I'm trying Nico."

He smiled and encased your small hands in his as he turned around so he was facing you. "Here. I'll help you. Just take a step forward."

You obliged and took a shaky step forward. You skate slid.

Nico kept you stable as he skated backwards with you occasionally muttering phrases of encouragement. A simple, "You've got it," and an occasional, "You can do it," we're the words hat kept you up. But the one phrase that stuck out o you was, "Just look at me."

You stared at him as he guided you around the rink. You looked into his soft brown eyes that you had grown to adore. His pale olive skin reflected the flashing, neon colors in the rink and his face was practically glowing with excitement, something that didn't occur every day.

He smiled at you and started to slowly let go of your hands.

You panicked and started flailing on the rink. "Nico!"

He quickly grabbed you again but it was too late.

You tripped over your own skates and flew forward landing with a thud. Luckily Nico was there to break your fall.

The poor boy groaned.

Your eyes widened. "Oh my gods Nico! I'm so sorry!" You moved to get up but his hands on your waist stopped you.

He laughed lightly and flipped his head moving the hair away from his eyes. "I guess you literally fell for me then."

You blushed.

He stood up and offered his hand out to you. When you took his hand he lifted you up into his chest. He held you close and leaned in close to your ear. His warm breath tickled the skin as he whispered, "It's a good thing I fell for you too."
