"no, i can't" ethan says for the hundredth time
"yes you can" i urge
"i shouldn't even be here. i'll make a fool out of myself" he argues
"then you can make a fool out of yourself with me by your side"
he sighs and takes my hand. i pull him behind me with a gentle force.
as soon as our roller skates hit the waxed floor, ethan looks scared
i smile, reassuringly, at him and he slightly smiles back
we skate around several times, not falling once
i decide to go faster and let go of his hand, speeding ahead of him. i fail miserably and fall in the corner of the rink.
ethan skates over to me, smiling like crazy
i laugh at myself and put my hand towards him, gesturing for him to help me up
he takes my hand and starts to pull me up, but i purposely pull him down. he lands next to me with a thud.
i can't help but burst out laughing. he joins in and together we laugh loudly in the corner of the rink as people skate by, giving us weird looks as they go
<><><><>
we get home from our fun adventure and ethan's beautiful smile hasn't left his face.
grayson walks over to us and smiles widely when he sees ethan "so i take it that rollerskating was a success"
ethan nods and laughs "yeah it was awesome"
his laugh is like music to my ears
"that's great bup" g says excitedly
i had to admit, i was excited too
for the past several months, ethan has been smiling and laughing a lot.
he's been happy
at first i was worried because i thought it was a temporary thing, but now i know that this side of ethan will stay for a while.
he's finally happy again and i couldn't be happier to have my happy boy
