Chris sighed as he looked over the crowd, really not wanting to be here but low and behold, Josh Fucking Washington dragged him here, and how could he say no to the darker skinned boy. His eyes were glimmering with glee when he spoke about this new cool 'Hangout' that apparently a bunch of teenagers have been going to.

As soon as we stepped in I instantly regretted it, Josh whooped loudly, alerting to every minor there that we had arrived and jumped right in line to get their roller blades. I didn't show fear much. . .okay, that's probably a total lie. But! Roller-blading terrified the shit out of me.

When we were both younger, Susan Nickels was Roller blading at the old skating rink we use to have in town, and she fell and her Ulna bone literally got stabbed out of her arm, breaking it in two places in the process. I was only 9 years old so it scarred me and I think about it every time Josh even mentions this new place.

Sam and Mike made fun of me when I told them my fear. Well, Sam not so much. Mike, definitely. He didn't let me live it down for ages. Sam comforted me and told me it was a perfectly normal fear.

But now, looking around and seeing teenagers everywhere having fun on their skates and dancing to the terrible music that filled the modernized 50s look alike blasting terrible top 20s music (Omfg if I hear Cheerleader one more time--), I realized that I was seriously getting too old for all of this and probably shouldn't even try.

"Hey Cochise! Are you ready for this?" Josh said excitedly as he handed me roller blades that were my size. I took a shaky breath and nodded, giving him a small smile. He returned it with the biggest grin he could muster. I slowly put mine on while Josh seemed to be rushing, he kept tying the strings too loose in his rush and I took over, stopping his fast paced movements and doing it for him, making him grumble that he was a grown man and could tie his own shoes.

"Obviously not. With how loose they were you'd break your ankles bro." I said, making him become a bit flustered and look away, looking like a pouting child. I rolled my eyes and slowly stood up, trying to get use to being on the roller blades. Josh stood up after me and noticed I was having troubles and grabbed my arms, slowly leading me to the actual arena. He laughed at my attempts to stay upright and wrapped his arms around my waist once we were on the wood flooring.

"Guess it's my time to be the knight in shining armor." He said and I huffed, cheeks a bright red when I noticed the teenagers standing out looking at us. Some of the girls actually had their phones out taking pictures and aw-ing.

What the hell is with teenage girls and gay guys?

"Shut up. I've just never. . .went roller blading before." I mumbled and looked up into Josh's green eyes, making the skinnier and taller of the two of us laugh lightheartedly and hold me closer.

"Guess we'll have to change that then." Josh gave me a small kiss on the nose and let me go, still holding my hands as he began to roll backwards. I managed to tumble a bit and lose my balance, landing on my knees and groaning in defeat, Josh pulled me right back up and smiled as he kissed my cheeks in reassurance.

An hour went by before I was actually good at skating, but was tired. So we took off our skates and sat at a booth, humming in thought on what to order.

"How about a Cherry Bomb Soda? I heard they are pretty good." Josh suggested and I nodded.

"That sounds good. Sure, why the hell not. I am so getting a Hersey's bar before we go though." I said and Josh scoffed.

"Do I look like I'm made of money?" He said, raising an eyebrow and I gave him a 'Bitch, I know you're rich' look and he only laughed and ordered our drinks. "Yeah. Two Cherry Bomb Sodas please!"

Once the drinks got to us we were both laughing so hard at some teenage boys who were tripping over one another and making fools of themselves for. . .who we have no idea. But one of the boys kept helping another one and leaning on one another as they laughed. It was cute really. Josh grabbed his drink and took a huge gulp while I sipped mine.

We both shared a look and grimaced.
