Chapter Two: Clumsy Attempt

~Saeyoung~

"I told you this was a bad idea," Saeyoung hissed, eyes downcast and his fingers trembling in your own.

You struggled to suppress the giggles tickling the back of your throat, watching your boyfriend carefully. "Come on, it's not that bad. You're being dramatic."

Amber eyes shot up and glared at you evenly, his mouth forming into a deep frown as he pushed himself toward you. "You'll pay for this, just you wait." Saeyoung threatened, though the fury was lost due to his shallow breathing.

Again the urge to laugh was unbearably difficult to resist, biting the inside of your cheek to prevent from an outburst. Here, where the snow fell in gentle waves against a white backdrop, was a private little corner meant for the two of you. At first it had been hard to persuade Saeyoung into driving out all this way for some 'frozen water'- as he referred to it. Seoul rarely got anything more than a few flakes, melting before hitting the ground. That was why you had to drive out, many hours spent traversing unrecognizable roads, to get here. It was nothing grand, practically a puddle with a glazing of ice- but it was enough. Behind Saeyoung's back you had rented skates, wanting to show him your prowess on the ice. Yet, as soon as you removed them from the trunk he seemed less than enthused.

"You want me to skate? On ice?" He had asked stiffly, eyeing the frozen pond over your shoulder warily. "I've never tried before."

You beamed, hoping your excitement would rub off on him. "I'll teach you! It'll be fun."

Begrudgingly, he agreed, mumbling under his breath about how stubborn his fiancee could be. Eventually, you got him onto the pond, guiding him with his hands in yours. This is where you were now, Saeyoung refusing to take another step.

"If I move slowly, you can just trail behind me." You suggested, watching his eyes flicker back and forth, examining each inch of the ice below.

First he licked his chapped lips, nibbling on the bottom before consenting with a weary sigh. "Alright, don't go too fast."

"I won't," you promised, gliding forward easily, Saeyoung still anchored to your left hand. "You'll get the hang of it soon, just you see."

Saeyoung chuckled shakily, obviously still nervous, "you're impossible." Taking his first step forward, allowing his skate to grace the surface.

"Impossibly cute?" You teased coyly, looking over your shoulder at his pinched brow, another giggle threatening to rise.

Another uneven laugh, "that's what I said didn't I?"

Sticking your tongue out at him you increase your speed, "jerk~"

Suddenly, with the acceleration in pace Saeyoung stumbled into your back, chin bonking into your skull painfully. "Whoa, what are you doing?!" He yelped, leaning back whilst clutching his offended chin.

You were about to claim that he was the one who'd run into you but before you could Saeyoung was faltering. In the midst of him bumping into you he'd lost his balance, and now that he was no longer holding on to you he was teetering back and forth. Before you had a chance to reach out and grab him he was falling, his butt colliding on the ice with a resounding smack.

"Owww," he groaned, scrunching up his face in pain.

Bending at the waist you offered to help your disgruntled boyfriend, "here take my hand. I guess you're not comfortable enough on the ice without support yet."

Rubbing his back, Saeyoung fixes you with a slight frown, his hand taking your gloved one. You're about to pull him to his feet when the opposite occurs as you're pulled down into him. Squeaking in surprise, your face collides with the scratchy zipper of Saeyoung's winter coat as you flop across him haphazardly. Fighting to right yourself, you bury your fists in his jacket, staring up at him in bewilderment.

"What was that for?!" You ask heatedly.

A crooked grin tugs at the corners of his mouth, honeyed eyes sparkling with mirth. "Payback."

"Payback for what?" You snap, your knees becoming increasingly chilled through the thin fabric of your leggings.

"For me winding up on my ass," he snickers, shifting his back away from you so there is more space in his lap. "Now for my payment~"

Pouting you don't struggle as his arms loosely wrap around your shoulders, this must've been his plan all along- he probably meant to fall. "I thought knocking me over was your payment."

Saeyoung clicks his tongue, shaking his head. "No, that was only half of the payment, the other half is still waiting."

He shifts one arm and brings three fingers to his mouth where he taps impatiently, gaze glued to your own. "Still waiting~"

You blink once before a smile swirls your lips and comply, leaning upwards and pressing a chaste kiss to his lips. His mouth is cold and you only allow a hint of your warmth to spread across them before withdrawing.

Annoyed, he cracks open an eye to look at you. "Not enough, you've only repaid me 65%." He instructs you gruffly, gloved fingers roaming the column of your neck.

Shivering at his touch, you hum and take his bottom lip between your teeth, worrying it and savouring it with several hearty sucks. Saeyoung's breath hitches and the circling of his hands pause, motionless on your neck.

"How's that?" You whisper against his mouth, the chill settling into your bones a distant sensation.

"80%." He manages, widening his hips so you're now nestled between his thighs.

"Only 80%? I'll have to work harder then." You breathe, relaxing in Saeyoung's arms.

Slowly you trace your tongue over the seam of his mouth, ignoring his shallow pants as you guide his mouth open. With his mouth agape you can explore entirely on your own volition, you note the pleasured shudder as you swipe the roof of his mouth. You work slow, only just teasing his tongue with your own. He tastes of peppermint and you long for a closer examination, you indulge him as your hands find his cheeks. No longer capable of patience and control he scoops you up and pulls you atop his chest. Flame red hair is ignited against the ice as the whistle of wind is the chorus to your heated embrace. Saeyoung plunders your mouth greedily now, openly moaning as you press your chest against his own. You allow him to take control now, domineer you in whatever capacity he deems- you're his. Seconds roll into minutes and it's not until you feel your fingers numb from cold that you disengage.

"I think the skating lesson may be over." You say, still atop him, his eyes clouded and a lazily smile on his lips.

"Oh right we were skating weren't we?" He mumbled lazily, adjusting the scarf around your neck.

"You had this planned all along didn't you?" You huffed hotly, "I thought you might actually enjoy it."

"I did enjoy it. Very much." He says cheekily, gaze fixated on your lips.

Grumbling, you push yourself off his chest, ignoring the stiffness in your body as you stand. "Let's get back to the car, you owe me some sort of payment for making me freeze!" You exclaim, shuffling to the edge of the pond.

"Ohoho~ round two at home?"

Snorting, you unlace your skates and slide your boots back on. "I'll think up something really creative on the car ride back."

You giggle as Saeyoung's blushes heavily and you were almost tempted to forget the cold and continue on that blasted pond- snow or no.
