"Akane! We're going ice skating now!" Hamano called out to his chestnut haired girlfriend from the living room. He placed the picture of his girlfriend back in its original place while he waited for her to come down from her room.

"Woah, you look great Aka-chan! Let's go!" Hamano complimented. Akane was wearing simple winter clothing, but to Hamano, she was beautiful whatever she wore. Akane giggled as he seized her hand and pulled her away, "We're going now, I'll return her later!" He called out to his girlfriend's parents. Making sure they grab their skates on the way out, they sped off to the skating rink at the park.

"Come on Hayami-san, you can do this!" Fay Fay encouraged, slowly guiding the pessimistic boy into the rink.

"I can't do it... I'll fall..." Hayami replied with a shaking voice as he stared down at his feet terrified.

"Everyone falls on their first time." Fay Fay reassured him, "Just take a step forward, it's just like walking!"

"Easy for you to say-"

"HEY GUYS! WE'RE HERE!" Hamano shouted at the top of his lungs. It was enough to startle the poor boy that he let go of the greenette's hands and fell on the solid ice. The couple skated their way to their friends, "How are you guys doing? Woah, Hayami. You alright there buddy?"

Before Hayami could reply, the greenette interrupted, "It's great! I finally got Hayami-san to put on his skates and get in the rink!" Fay Fay beamed, half ignoring the rose haired boy trying to stand himself up while using her hands as a gripping bar.

"Not great." Hayami whined as he looked at Hamano, "Why couldn't we have gone Christmas shopping today? It's a Sunday and-"

"Because we want to teach you how to skate!" Hamano said, equally as joyful as the greenette, "You're the only one out of all of us who doesn't know how to skate!"

"B-But I-I can't-"

"You should have more confidence in yourself Hayami." Akane interrupted as the rose haired boy lowered his head in defeat.

"Even if you can't skate, at least, you know you tried." Fay Fay said, making Hayami look up, "There's always room for improvement if you're willing to continue. Now come on! We've got a lot of work to do!"

Fay Fay began pulling Hayami to the middle of the skating rink despite his protest. The couple laughed before following after them.

"That was fun," Akane said, looking down at the exhausted boy with a gentle smile. The sky was still blue and clear of clouds, but Hayami had insisted he take a rest.

"I agree!" Hamano added cheerfully as he planted a kiss on Akane's forehead to which she hid her smile behind her camera, "Did you get my picture Aka-chan?" Hamano eagerly asked his girlfriend.

"It was blurry, so I deleted it," Akane replied, not feeling sorry at all when she flashed him a smile. Hamano fell to his knees in depression beside Hayami, "I told you not to move so much, but you wouldn't listen."

"Well, I beg to differ." Hayami quickly breathed while sitting on the blanket of snow, "I kept falling! There's no way I can skate as good as you!"

Fay Fay rolled her eyes when he meant her, "You don't have to be as good as me, besides this is your first time. Nobody's that good on their first try."

"Except for people who are born talented..." Hayami muttered negatively, burying his head his arms.

The three friends sighed in exasperation, all wanting to change the subject if encouraging him wasn't going to work.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Fay Fay checked her watch and looked horrified.

"What's wrong Fay Fay?" Akane asked, noticing the greenette's distress.

"I gotta go." She replied, hastily taking off her skates and putting on her boots, "My dad's visiting and he's at the airport. He's very strict about being on time. You guys can take over, right? Thanks, gotta go! Bye!"

She didn't give them time to nod or reply as she sped off to the airport in a hurried mess. Hamano subconsciously raised his hand to wave.

"Bye?" The couple shifted their attention to the rose haired boy who looked at them petrified.

"Please no..." Hamano held a wide grin.

"Kaiji-kun. If Hayami doesn't want to skate anymore then we can't force him." Akane scolded her boyfriend for his cruel behaviour. Hamano sighed in defeat.

"Alright, alright. We have to go now Aka-chan, I promised your parents I bring you back before evening. Do you want to come with us Hayami?" The dark haired boy offered to which Hayami pondered about it for a while before shaking his head.

"I think I'll stay here. You two go ahead."

"If you said so." And with that, Hamano and Akane left the area, allowing the rose haired boy to get lost in his own thoughts.

'I'll only get better if I keep trying.' Hayami thought, a wave of determination rushing into him as he wobblingly stood up with his skates on. He slowly made his way to the rink.

'I'll practice hard like how I practiced soccer.'
