December came and went, and Michael was excited to see Jeremy. Both of the boys were out of town for their respective holidays counting the days they could see there player 1 and player 2 .It was January 4th, and the next day they would have to go back to school. But Michael had a plan to spend their last day of winter break.
Michael drove to the Heere residence, and knocked on the door. He waited at the door for a minute then, Mr. Heere opened the door.
"Michael's here Jeremy!" He shouted across the house.
He welcomed MIchael in, and Mr. Heere went to his room. Jeremy entered the living room instantly he ran to his Player 2.
"Michael, how's it hangin?" Jeremy asked, he was overjoyed to see his friend.
"Well good...I guess. It's too cold to get slushies so not that good." Michael rambled, for some reason he was nervous around Jeremy.
"Um.. do you wanna go skating ice..err.. I mean ice skating?"
"Yes, of course. But i gotta tell you i'm not the best at it." Jeremy joked.
"Well that's what i'm here for Player 1. Now put on some pants and shoes and let's go."Michael said as he looked down.
Jeremy turned bright red as he remembered he didn't have pants on.
"Ok Micha, give me a few minutes."
Michael nodded as he sat down on the couch.
In about 4 minutes Jeremy was ready to go.
"Ok I'm ready, lets go."
Jeremy sat in the passenger seat of Michael's PT cruiser. How am i gonna tell him. I don't know how to skate? He thought to himself as Michael pulled out of the driveway.
~ 30 minutes later~
The grey PT cruiser arrived at the ice skating rink. Michael parked the car, and they got out. Jeremy was anxious, he didn't know what to do. Michael and Jeremy entered the rink. Instantly they were bombarded with the smell of nachos and hot chocolate. Jeremy teeth started to chatter, he only have a light sweater on and it was not protecting him from the tempature. Michael noticed that Jeremy was slowly turning into a ice cube and took off his sweatshirt.
"Dude, you need this more than me." Michael said as he handed him the clothing.
"Thanks." Jeremy said as he put it on. The sweatshirt was warm and smelled like cinnamon. They walked over to pay for 45 minutes. Then, they got their ice skates and sat down to put them on. The rink had a few people, since it was after Christmas.
"You ready?" MIchael asked as he stood up, holding his hand out.
"Yup" Jeremy said anxiously as he grabbed michael's hand to stand up.
The boys carefully balanced on the wet carpet to where the carpet ened and the ice began.
"Um Micha, I have something to tell you-" Jeremy started but slipped on the ice. Michael caught him and stood him upright.
"I...I....I don't know how to skate." Jeremy stuttered.
"Well, grab my hand and i'll teach ya." Michael beamed.
Jeremy blushed from his response. He couldn't ask for a better... Friend... No he's not just a friend he's something more. Jeremy thought to himself.
For the next 30 minutes Michael tried to teach Jeremy how to skate, it was tough but after a few falls and thuds Jeremy was getting the hang of it.
"Ok Jere now push off and move your feet together... There you got it." Michael was giving him words of encouragement.
"Yea i think i got this". Jeremy said, starting to smile.
Suddenly, another skater bumped Jeremy and he lost is balance. Jeremy fell into Michael's arms, and MIchael went down. In each other's arms the sild on the ice. Michael slowly got up. He was still holding Jeremy in his arms as he skated out of the rink.
"Hey Jeremy, you alright?" Michael asked as he looked into Jeremy's eyes his face, it was just centimeters away from his and he felt the sudden urge to kiss him. Not today Michael. Don't do this to your friendship. Michael thought to himself. He loved Jeremy but didn't want their friendship to be ruined.
"Yea i'm fine." Jeremy said as he closed the gap between him and Michael.
It was a fast, but amazing kiss. It lasted about 5 sec, but to Jeremy and Michael, it seemed like forever and was long awaited. Both of the boys turned bright red from the event, and didn't know what to do next.
"Hey, let's get some hot chocolate.To warm us up." Michael said, even though the kiss still left them a little red.
Jeremy nodded in agreement, as they walked to the stand, holding hands.
The boys got their hot chocolate and sat down in chairs facing the ice rink.
"Hey Micha, thanks for the fun day." Jeremy said as he smiled at Michael. Jeremy laid his head on Michael's shoulder and drunk his hot chocolate.
"Oh your welcome....Player 1" Michael said as he bent down and kissed Jeremy's cheek.
