First Date ~ Skate
A/N I suck at thinking up titles. You guys should know this by now. :P
"Come on Benson," Mordecai says, holding out a hand. He's standing on the ice rink, his fingers curled around the silver pole for balance as he waits for his boyfriend to finish tying his shoelaces.
Benson pulls a lace in each hand, knotting them together, then looks up with a smile when he sees Mordecai's hand outstretched. He sits up and stands, but then falls back on his butt onto the bench. Mordecai just laughs and leans forward more. Benson reaches out and takes the blue jays hand, getting him pulled towards him. Mordecai smiles and, with Bensons hand laced in his, begins to skate.
Benson's feet give out beneath him and he slips on the ice, landing on the cold with his palms flat out either side of him. Mordecai stops and looks back. He turns his body to him.
"You ok Benson?"
Mordecai holds his hand out.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," Benson says, placing his hand in the blue jays and pulling himself upright, but he just falls back down again.
Mordecai can't help but smile a bit. He takes Bensons hand again, the gumball machine letting out a growl, and he just manages to stand for about 5 seconds before the same thing happens,
The blue jay's smile becomes amused and Benson glares at him. This makes Mordecai almost crack up, but he holds it in and gets a strong grip on his boyfriends hand. He goes to pull him up for the third time and ends up falling on him, their hands still entwined.
Mordecai bursts into laughter and Benson smiles, amused.
"Come on," Mordecai says, standing himself. "Push yourself up and I'll pull you up."
Benson does so and Mordecai uses both hands to pull the gumball machine up. He frowns, finally upright, but doesn't let go of his hands. Benson sighs. He looks up to see Mordecai looking at him.
"What?" Benson asks, annoyed about embarrassing himself.
Mordecai smiles, "You're cute when you're angry."
Benson tries to keep a frown, but a smile pushes through. "Shut up," he says. Mordecai laughs and kisses him on the forehead.
"Why didn't you just tell me you couldn't skate?"
Benson blushes: "I didn't want to ruin our first date."
"You didn't..." Mordecai says, surprised. He laughs again, "Oh come on Benson! You really thought that?"
The gumball machine nods.
"Dude, all you need is a little practice. Besides, you didn't ruin it. You made it more fun," he replies, smiling.
"I did?"
"Yeah," Mordecai says and gives a tug on their hands, pulling Benson forward. They kiss and Mordecai keeps a tight grip on the gumball machine incase he falls again. Benson smiles.
