[Man he is wobbly. Shouto's a little concerned, and maybe more than a little confused. Katsuki has to know how to skate, right? Didn't he say he knew?

Either way, Shouto's here to take his hands and help pull him back to his feet.]

What?

[Was that a human language? He's not sure.]

[His face matches his eyes and he takes a moment to breathe, just to find his center of gravity. Standing there with Shouto is easier, and he looks to the side, a little flustered.]

I said I don't really know how to skate... I only skated once with Angela and I-

[Well. Let's not go there.]

....Oh.

[Oh. He doesn't really know how, he only did it the once, and still, he asked Shouto. Because...because he thought he'd like it. He's pretty sure his heart might actually break his ribs with the thump it gives, the sudden leap in his chest, and his cheeks are suddenly pink and warm as he blinks at Katsuki, the look on his face almost comical.

Katsuki did this for him.

The smile is slow, small, almost shy, ridiculously sweet.]

We'll do it together. Go slow. I know you'll get it in no time.

Yeah. Oh.

[He's embarrassed, and when he glances up he's about to ask Shouto why he looks like his brain just broke. Was this a shit idea? Shouto can't fully enjoy himself if he's stuck with a sub-par skater like him-

And then he smiles and Katsuki nearly slips because of that, a different kind of warmth flushing his face.]

You sure? I ain't going to fucking hold you back.

I don't wanna do it without you.

[The words are simple, an answer he doesn't even have to think about, because it's true. He'd rather do this with Katsuki, no matter what.]

Besides, you always put a hundred percent into everything you do. I know this isn't gonna be any different. Come on--

Shit.

[He could kiss him right about now. And he probably would, if he wasn't confident that he might slip and bring them both down in the process. He just stares at Shouto, briefly speechless, before he ends up smirking, his eyes warm.]

You're going to regret that when I end up surpassing you.

[A speechless Bakugou is a rare thing, and he savors every single one of those moments he's responsible for. But collapsing on the ice is the only thing that keeps him from leaning in and planting a kiss on his cheek, or just flat-out kissing him, and instead he just flashes one of those small, secret smiles as he slowly starts to skate backwards, still holding onto Katsuki's hands.]

No I won't.

[Why would he ever regret that?]

[All Shouto has to do is smile at him, smile in a way he doesn't see him doing with others, for Katsuki to forget his words with a soft exhale. He's briefly too distracted by his boyfriend-it still makes his chest flutter just thinking about it-to pay attention to the ice, only coming back to reality when he realizes they're moving.

They're moving.

He's skating-]

Shit.

[Katsuki glances down, trying to move in tandem with Shouto.]

[Katsuki says that, and Shouto's already shaking his head, still pulling him slowly along.]

Don't do that. Don't overthink it, don't look down. Just move with me and let your feet follow, one at a time. Look at me. How did Angela teach you?

[He feels like he's floating. He's not sure if it's his nerves, excitement to be on a date with Shouto, or just the environment below him. But Shouto's voice grounds him, stilling the jolt in his body. He looks up from the ice, meeting his eyes, and for once he forgets to yell at him for telling him want to do and answers.]

She said push with the back food- perpendicular to my front, but then I...

[He flushes instantly. He doesn't want to relive that embarrassing moment.]

But then you started thinking too much about it and couldn't get the rhythm right?

[He finishes Katsuki's dropped sentence, and for once Katsuki is probably gonna be glad for that. Let's never let either of them talk about that embarrassing moment it's fine it never happened.]

It's okay. If you think about it too much, your brain is just gonna get in the way of your body. Just keep your eyes on me, and move like you want to catch up. You'll get it.

Uh...pretty much.

[He mumbles, secretly grateful for Shouto's save. Nope! Totally didn't happen! Perhaps he should listen to Shouto more, not just because he's his boyfriend, but with how he would struggle with his quirk. Katsuki nods, trying to settle on that normal competitive feeling he has about...everything.

He inhales, his posture beginning to improve, as he moves in tandem with Shouto, albeit not at his skill level.]

Gonna kick your ass.

Can't kick my ass if you can't catch it.

[Is he teasing Katsuki? Yes. Yes he is. But it's for a good cause! If Katsuki's thinking about the banter, he's not thinking about his feet, which will help. And also maybe he just likes it, okay. That's allowed, right?]

You wanna catch these hands-?

[Katsuki starts to lift his hands up, fingers still intertwined with Shouto's, but he nearly slips in the process and curses under his breath.]

Shit.

Edited 2020-08-07 06:59 (UTC)

Thought I already caught them.

[His arms tense a little, enough to support Katsuki as he regains his footing, only relaxing his grip as Katsuki finds his rhythm again.]

Fuck you.

[He mumbles without much venom, loosening his grip when Shouto does, even though him holding onto him like that bothers him less than he thought it would.]
