div class="Outline"I can't believe this," Tony sighed. " My boyfriend, a frost giant, can't even ice-skate."

"It's not that I can't, I just don't want to." Loki replied, tentatively eyeing the ice skates Tony held before him. It was true he had never tried it before, but he had seen plenty of it in those silly movies Tony made him watch...What were they? Christmas movies? He had never understood that holiday.

"Dear, it's for charity." Tony said, pleading in his eyes. " And it's for couples. I can't go alone."

Loki rubbed his temple and looked again at the skates. "I suppose. Let me go change."

Loki, Tony thought, looked really fantastic in his emerald trench coat and yellow scarf. Not to mention the ice skates, which had bright silver and gold swirls along the sides.

It was also cute when he struggled on the ice. A bright pink blush had touched upon his cheeks, and he was practically glued to Tony's arm. Yes, that was especially cute.

Loki, however, was mortified. How many people were watching him struggle upon the ice? Tony had explained the point of the cameras to him, that they were there to show them to the people who were donating the money. His only solace was that Tony was a good enough skater for both of them, and that he was as charming as could be in front of the other skaters. He would occasionally stop them to talk to another 'celebrity', whether that be another large business owner, or a model, or an actor/actress.

And that was when the music started. Tony's eyes lit up, and for a moment he let go of Loki just long enough to grab both of his hands. That one moment was almost long enough for Loki to fall over, however. Tony laughed and started skating backwards, and he dragged Loki backwards with him. Loki swirled Along with him, clutching to Tony like a life line.

And then Loki's foot got caught. And because he was caught, he tripped, pulling Tony along with him into a snow bank. In a poof of snow and yelps, Loki found himself lying on top of Tony, who was laughing like a maniac. They slowly pulled themselves up, and shivering, abandoned the charity case to go get some hot chocolate.

And Loki thought, afterwards, that maybe there was something to this ice skating stuff.
