The fact that Kylan, of all people, thought about her enough to not only consider her desires but also shoved aside his own apprehension to take part in one. It confused her, and it also made her chest feel warm. Incredibly warm. Almost too warm.
It was snowing lightly, the sky above opening its dark clouds over the rink. Though it was still afternoon, lights were already lit above and near the rink, casting a comfortable glow across the ice. Soft Christmas music drifted from several floating speakers all around, the sounds of laughter and the subtle cutting of ice under blades, adding to the overall ambiance of the outdoor winter wonderland
Katrina loved coming here with Aaron and Maine, but she never thought she would be here on a date. Well, a pretend date, anyway,
Nonetheless, when Kylan grabbed her skates from the attendant, she still smiled at him. He looked grumpy, painfully so, but she noticed his eyes softened a fraction when he met her gaze.
She followed him over to a bench, brushing a bit of snow away before she sat down and began to pull off her boots, shoving her feet in the ice skates instead. "I love that they have the tree lit, even during the day" She nodded her head in the direction of the gaudy Rockefeller Christmas tree across the other side of the rink
"It's a gross display of money, in my opinion" came Kylan's cool response.
She shook her head at him. "Not everything needs to be negative, Kylan, she chastised, leaning over and wrapping the laces of her skates around the backs of them a few times, tying them in place at the front
Kylan huffed, pulling on his own skates a bit awkwardly. She watched him tie his skates, leaving far too much lace out of the loops. He was going to trip over them, and she laughed. "That's not right. Here."
She stood up, brushing off her coat and taking a knee in front of him, conscious of the blades on her skates as she did.
"It's fine, Kate. For f*ck's sake, I'm not a child." Kylan snapped down at her
She effectively ignored his protests. "Have you ever actually been skating. Kylan?" she asked him instead.
Kylan was silent in front of her, and she looked up at him. He was scowling down at her, a faint tinge of pink dusting his cheeks. She wasn't certain if it was from the cold or embarrassment, but she thought it looked rather endearing all the same.
"How are you in your early thirties and you've never been ice skating?" she asked him in wonder, shaking her head before rying his other skate in the same fashion as her own.
"I fail to see the draw of balancing my feet on top of two blades, Katrina Kylar explained, rolling his eyes at her and scowling impossibly more.
"I help you learn, okay?" She stood up, readjusting her hat on her head and offering him a hand to take
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this. The f*ck is wrong with me." Kylan griped, running his hands through his hair, and then snatching her hand before pulling himself to a standing position. He wobbled slightly, moving to grip her forearms. He narrowed his eyes at her, and she only laughed.
"Slow and steady wins the race, Kylan. Take my hand and walk with me. Also, remember that there's no shame in hugging the side of the rink if you need to." She found his hand once more and started guiding him to the ice
It was incredibly entertaining, sering Kylan out of his comfort zone like this. He was miserable, muttering a slew of curse words under his breach the entire way to the rink. She held a steady grip on his hand, and he held hers like a vice. She didn't comment on it, though. She was just glad he was willing to try something like this at all.
