The two drove along the city roads in almost silence if it weren't for the radio, quietly playing Christmas songs. The roads were empty as the sun was setting across the town, street lights and Christmas lit up as the night turned dark. Snow began to gently fall against the cars windows which caused the smaller to look out of the window in horror, "are you sure this is a good idea?" Josh whimpered as the snow began to fall quicker now. "Yeah it'll be fun" the taller mumbled into his scarf as he stared at the road ahead of him, "fun?" Josh raised his eyebrows as he glanced at the other almost in disbelief. "Yeah, fun" Aaron laughed at the other as he parked up, "now come on time to have fun" he finished while unbuckling his belt and getting out of the car, waiting for the other.

"No, it's too cold" Josh argued, Aaron rolled his eyes and put his arm around the other, guiding him towards the entrance a of the building. "You'll warm up soon enough" Aaron replied as he dragged the other to the desk, they paid and walked through to what was almost a locker room, with a café to the side and sliding, glass doors that headed to outside where the ice rink was. There wasn't too many people there considering it was getting late; they picked up their skates and sat down looking forward upon the people skating, only about 2 with skill and practice but the rest clung to the sides and to each other as they repeatedly fell over.

Slowly pulling their skates on and tying them up, then standing as carefully as they could before leaning on each other for support as they stepped out cautiously onto the ice. "No, I can't do it!" Josh exclaimed as he hurried to hold to the walls of the rink that only came up to their waists, "yes, you can do it" Aaron argued, slipping slightly himself but caught himself quickly. "You can't even do it, how am I supposed to do it!" Josh sounded almost panicked as one hand clung to the side and the other reached out for his boyfriend, who quickly reached back. "Now let go" Aaron ordered and the other did so, but very hesitantly, "how am I supposed to move now?" Josh worried. "Move your legs" Aaron stated, as if it was the most obvious and easiest thing in the world, but as the other tried he slipped backwards quite un-gracefully and unfortunately brought Aaron down with him.

They made no move to get up but laughed at themselves as people past them and some falling down with them. "That was spectacularly rubbish" Josh huffed as the other attempted to get back on his feet and eventually managed, then pulling Josh back up. As snow filled their hair they made their ways around the rink but soon decided enough was enough after several falls that brought not only themselves down but other people too, most forgave them, others not so much. Both of them laughed as they stumbled towards the exit, slipping, sliding and complaining in the process.

"I hate you for this, I didn't even want to come here!" Josh complained as he untied the boots, "I love you too, but you did enjoy it" Aaron replied standing as soon as his boots were off. "No, I'm cold, tired and I've done exercise!" Josh argued standing beside the other as they went to return their skates, "oh well, I had fun" Aaron sighed defeatedly. They sat down and put their shoes back on, "time for a tea" Aaron stated as he looked at the time on his phone before they both headed to the café. Sitting at a window seat, after ordering their drinks, Josh spoke up "I mean it was funny," to which Aaron smiled "but I am freezing now" he finished frowning over dramatically. Aaron reached across the table, he interlaced his fingers with the others and smiled sincerely before leaning over, kissing the other quickly.
