We walked around the christmas market humming to the music and eating more sweets. Nagisa and I were behaving like small children, with Makoto, Rei and Haru as our older brothers, and Sou and Rin as our parents. We were going to call it a day, until I spotted an ice ring in the middle of the plaza and I ran to see the prices. Everyone followed me shortly.
-Guys, I think I'm gonna stay a bit more...- I said looking at the ice.
-I'll stay too- said Rin, which made me turn to see him, he gave me a smirk.
We waved goodbye to the others as they made their way back to the station.
-Wanna join me then?- I said already making my way to the desk to pay.
-You're just as hyperactive as Nagisa always is- said Rin behind me.
-I'm just really happy tonight of being here with all of you.
-They really are something uh?
I nodded.
-They've grown up on me.
-Yeah- he said looking at me directly.
I motioned him to follow me to get our skates.We stepped in the cold ice with our sharp skates, instantly it reminded me of Yuri and the lessons he gave me back in Russia. There weren't many people so I took advantage of it, I slided through the ice, cutting the ice on my way. I tried to do it swiftly and gain speed by every second. I wasn't bad at ice skating thanks to my russian friend, but I always had a hard time at stopping. I kind of closed my feet and put my hands on my knees, I felt the speed decrease by each second, and I returned to the entrance where Rin was just standing.
-Why haven't you moved?- I asked him.
-I remembered I'm not the best at this- he said with fear written all over his face.
-I can help you, I'm not the best either but I can skate a bit.
-Say the girl who just went around two times with ease- said Rin mockingly.
-Well, I don't know how to stop that well. I used to stop by just letting myself fall or hit myself with the wall- I said laughing in embarrassment.
-I don't know if I trust you enough then...
-You can skate by yourself then- I said teasingly and starting to move away from him.
-Fine, I'll trust you.
-Sure you wanna do that?
-Yeah...- he said blushing.
-Well then, take my hands.
He did and I felt the need to take off his gloves to feel his skin in mine.
-They say you learn more by falling- I teased.
-Yeah, well, I don't want to fall, thank you.
-But at least you won't have the fear of falling, that way you can skate better.
-Still, I don't want to touch the ice with my butt.
-You really are something- I said laughing while pulling him with me.A few minutes later, he managed to go around the ring slowly without help. I smiled at him and then burst out laughing when he hit himself with the wall and fall backwards. I went to him trying to control my laughter.
-Having fun down there?- I asked.
-Shut up- he said not even trying to stand.
-Here, grumpy- I stretched out my hand for him to take.
He sighed and took it.
-You good?
-Yeah.
-Wanna leave?
-Kinda.
-Ok, let me go around one more time.
-It's fine, I'll wait for you outside. Take your time.
I took his hand in mine to get him to the exit of the ring, once he was safe I went hard on the ice again. I put my headphones on and played Yuri's song. I had memorised a part of his choreography in 'Welcome to the Madness', and I tried to do it... I almost fell a couple of times, but managed to balance myself again. I saw a redhead leaning on the railing outside the ring, it was time to leave.We walked in silence to the train station, I was lost looking at all the blue and white lights around and the smell of the food. We arrived to the station and leaned on the wall while waiting for the train, I put my hands near my mouth and exhale deeply on them, they were freezing.
-Shit, I forgot to give you these- Rin said taking out a black pair of gloves from his pocket.- I bought them for you.
My eyes widened.
-When?
-When you were too occupied eating in a non healthy way.
I blushed.
-Thank you Rin- I said putting them on and feeling protected from the weather.- And, is really hard to eat healthy with Nagisa by your side.
-I know, but you encouraged him.
-Oh, c'mon. I hadn't tried this food before, and he's the expert.
He laughed.
The train arrived and we stepped in, it was late so there wasn't many people in it, we sat down next to each other. It was going to be 30 minutes to get home and I was already feeling sleepy.
-Do you mind if I rest my head on your shoulder?- I asked him.
-Go ahead.
I did and started to feel my eyes heavier, before I was out, I felt his head leaning on mine.
