5 Times Bitty and Jack Held Hands in Public 

1. frozen fingers and snowfall

"How are you only wearing one jacket?" Bitty practically demanded. "I'm freezing my butt off."

"I may be cold, but at least I don't look my mother dressed me." Jack teased.

"I'm just being cautious. I don't want to get hypothermia and have to get my legs amputated. I need my legs!"

"Okay, whatever." He laughed. "But I'm just gonna let you know, if you fall and can't get up, I'm not helping you."

"I don't need you to help me up, Jack. You can just roll me home. Like that one girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

"You can roll yourself home, Bitty."

"If you make me roll myself home, trust me, I will not be going home. I'll roll myself into the sunset, like a lone wolf." He laughed, pushing himself gently into Jacks arm.

They walked in comfortable silence, their pinkies brushing against each other on every stride.

"You wouldn't really leave me stranded in the snow, would you?" Jack stopped, and turned to his boyfriend. He took Bitty's hands in his, and smiled at the shorter boy. "No, I wouldn't let you fall to begin with."

2. roller rink kisses

The neon glow of the roller rink lit up the desolate streets around it. This part of town had been long given up on completed. Empty department stores, dark alleys, the bright roller rink seemed both out of place and right at home.

"You know; I've never actually been roller skating." Jack looked up at the sign, that was now flashing. Neither of them could tell if the sign was broken or if it was supposed to do that.

"Really?" Bitty looked at him in mild surprise. "Well, it's just like ice skating. Actually, probably easier."

"Alright" Jack laughed, mostly to himself, since nothing Bitty said was particularly funny. "But if you're lying to me, no more kisses for the rest of the night."

Jack attempted to stand still, but the wheels attached to the bottom of his shoes kept rolling forward.

"Bits, how do I stop this thing?" he shouted in mild surprise. Bitty looked over just in time to see Jack tumble over the 3-foot wall separating the rink from the rest of the room. His eyes widened, and he covered his mouth to hide his obvious laughter from his boyfriend, who was standing up, slightly dazed. He skated to the gate, and stood in front of jack, with a hand extended to him.
