Ambrosia POV / September 6 / Our Cute Baby Avery^^^

"Look look!! I'm doing it! I'm going forward!!" It was quite amusing to see Jathos with his arms out like a goose and his face awestruck at the fact that he finally, after half an hour, moved all on his own. It was even more amusing that he wasn't looking where he was going so he ended up colliding with Jaylon who, due to the fact he couldn't skate to save his life, was going backward and freaking about it.

While the two brothers were having a horrendous time getting up and stable, Avery had made his way slowly to me, grabbing onto my stretched out arms so he would safely stop.

"Thanks, I may not be Johnny Weir or something, but at least I'm better than those two." The two brothers kept messing around with each other while me and Avery just kinda footed in a circle around them; both of us knowing that at least one of them was gonna get hurt.

"Sooooooo, ya'll have a wedding date! How do you feel?" 

"I feel great, but enough about my wedding, when are you and Jaylon gonna pick a date? You've already said winter, why not Christmas? Or new years?" He simply shrugged his shoulders and attempted to make a spin, looking like a funny penguin waddling in a circle.

"I have no clue. It's obviously gonna be after yours, but-", he did a little jump, "I was thinking January. Don't ask me why I prefer it over December; maybe cause it's all about new beginnings and the whole out with the old in with the new sorta thing and that's sorta what this relationship has been." His eyes wandered over to the two brothers, Jaylon was trying to lift Jathos like they do in couples figure skating. Honestly, I'm waiting for one of them to fall onto the ice and crack the whole lake.

"Thanks to him, I'm no longer the lonely orphan struggling with jobs and having no one there for me. It definitely feels weird not having to watch out for myself all day every day. I don't want January 1; it's cliche for new beginnings, stupidly I don't mind having a January 2 wedding. It's like I leave one day in between to think about how this new year will be different from last; how I've changed as a persona and how I want to keep on changing. To appreciate the things that happened in the year that just ended before I keep going with my life. Gathering more memories and more happiness. Or maybe I'll think about what made me sad that year before letting those feelings go and making space for the love and happiness that will fill it." 

"So January 2 is what I'm hearing?!!!"

"Wait what?"

Avery POV

It was quite funny to see Jaylon thrown off his feet, figuratively and literally as he tuned in to what we were talking about and lost concentration. Of course, it wasn't funny for Jathos who was, unfortunately, the thing that made Jaylon's soft landing possible.

I skated as best as possible to Jathos and knelt down in front of him cause I knew it was better than trying to help him up or wait for him to stand up himself. My lips met his for a quick peck before they disconnected but not for long cause Jaylon seemed to like it a bit too much and his lips sought mine out for a more heated kiss, a kiss that was full of heat despite our cold surroundings. When our lips did leave each other, there wasn't a lot of distance between them. It was as if something had awoken in both of us, something raw and powerful. 

Our eyes met, and we both let out a gasp. Even though I've looked at his eyes a million and one times, they've never looked like this. His usually hazel eyes were now swirling with gold and red, almost like flames dancing around.
