The Downey Brothers

Ski Day

The couple wakes up in each others arms for the first time. It was still dark out. Anna was wearing fluffy snowflake pajama bottoms with a light blue off one shoulder shirt and Robert was wearing a grey v-neck with darker grey sweatpants. 

"Good morning, beautiful." Robert whispers.

"Good morning, handsome." Anna replies, both smiling. She then stands up.

"Where are you going?" Robert asks, using his puppy eyes.

"To go take a shower, and before you ask, no, you can't join me." She says before opening the bathroom door.  

"Awwwwww" Robert complains.

As Anna is in the shower, Robert gets up and goes into the living room. He makes a fire and turns all the lights on, then scatters rose petals around the room. 

As Anna gets out of the shower, she sees Robert with his arms held out and the living room set up romantically. "What is all of this?" 

"It's our getaway. We are going to have a lovely breakfast ordered in. Then, we will have a ski day at the mountain. Sound good?"

"Sounds great! I love that idea!" She says, giving him a kiss.

After their huge breakfast, the couple is gearing up to go skiing for the day. Anna has a pink ski jacket on with black snow pants and a dark blue helmet. Her skis and poles are white. Robert is wearing a grey ski jacket with red snow pants and a black helmet. His skis are blue and his poles are green. 

They sit on the ski lift, making conversation. "So, how am I doing so far?" Robert asks.

"You're a romantic one, Mr. Downey. Let's see how you're doing in a normal setting before I completely answer that question, though..." Anna says cheekily.

"Okay, but I will guarantee that nothing will change." 

"How long have you been skiing?" Anna asks.

"About ten years now. I mainly ski on this mountain with Jude. How about you?" 

"Only about four years for me, but I've been on big mountains before so I'm familiar enough." 

"Do you do any other sports?" 

"Not regularly, but I like to play soccer sometimes with my friends in the spring or fall." 

"Soccer? I love playing soccer." Anna eyes widen in surprise.

"Really?"

"Yeah, we should play together sometime." 

"Definitely, but let's stick to skiing today." Anna says before they get off the lift and head down the mountain.

They have been skiing for a couple of hours now. They are going down a black diamond slope, when Anna makes a wrong move with her feet and falls, rolling a couple feet down the slope. Robert was behind her, he saw the whole thing and went right to her. "Are you okay?!" He asks, panicked.

Anna takes her one ski off, grabbing her now free foot. "It kinda hurts..." Robert takes his skis off, kneeling next to her. 

"Can you move it?" Anna circles her ankle.

"Yes, but not without it hurting." He gently grabs her foot.

"Well good news is, it's not broken. Bad news is, our ski day is shortened. We'll have to go back and get that iced and elevated."  

A ski patrolman comes towards them. "Everything okay here? Does she need help?" He asks.

"Yeah, she hurt her foot. We might need help getting her down the mountain." 

"Here, I can bring her down by this and you can get her skis and poles." The man says, taking the flat sled looking thing off of his back. 

"Thank you." Anna says as she gets on the thing and the patrolman starts to pull her down the mountain with him skiing ahead of her as Robert trails behind with her gear.

They make it back into the lodge. Both sitting by the fire, Annas foot being iced and elevated and both having hot chocolate in their hands. "How is your foot?" 

"It doesn't hurt as much anymore." 

"That's good. It made me nervous, seeing you fall down the mountain like that..." Anna chuckles.

"I'm okay, I'm a lot tougher than you'd think. One time I fell on a black diamond slope a couple years ago, landed on my shoulder pretty hard, and when everyone asked if I was okay I said yes."

"Why? You could've been badly injured!" Anna shrugged.

"I didn't want anybody worrying about me. I was perfectly fine." 

"Your foot better be fine, I don't want it to get worse just because you are trying to be tough." 

"I promise, I'm not." Anna reassures. 

"Good. I need my assistant and girlfriend healthy." Robert smirks.

"It will be rare when I'm not healthy, trust me." They both chuckle, drinking their hot chocolates, watching the flame of the fire.

"In sickness and in health, right?"
