Author's Note: Blahhhh. So sorry about the delay. Things haven't been going too well for me. And it's crappy, I know D:

I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I raided my closet of every piece of clothing I had. All my clothes were askew on my floor, but the outfit I had on didn't look good at all.
I had my skin tight dark blue jeans on with a dark purple T-shirt. I had worn the outfit tons of time but today it seemed to look really bad. But I didn't have anything else to wear besides this.
I sighed as I looked in to the foot length mirror on my wall. I didn't look that bad but I didn't look good enough to see Roxas. I was really nervous about our first date. I didn't even know where we were going.
Suddenly I heard the doorbell ring. Before I could feel my heart start to increase I rushed to the door. Although I was nervous I was really excited for our date.
I took a deep breath before I opened the door, revealing Roxas. He took one look at me and smiled. "You look great." I blushed. I didn't look good at all.
"So, where are we headed?" I was going to die from anticipation if I didn't know where we were going. But I did know he has something special planned for us.
"I told you it's a secret." I pouted in defeat. I knew once he set his mind to something there was no backing done. He was stubborn at times. But I loved every part of him.
"Just let me grab my phone and keys. Come on in." I motioned him inside and closed the door behind him. I can't believe I even remembered I didn't have my keys. Damn Roxas and his sexiness.
I left Roxas in the living room while I rushed up in to my room to grab my belongings. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror and frowned. I licked my hand and flattened down my bangs in front of my eye.
I sighed as I headed for the door, this look will have to do. I happily bounced down the stairs, making sure not to trip and fall from excitement, and met Roxas in the living room.
"Okay. I'm all set." Roxas smiled again as we walked out the front door. I locked the front door, put my keys in my pocket, and finally made it down the driveway to the sidewalk.
"I wish I could drive, but we're going to have to walk. It's not far at all so bare with it." I nodded contently. I've read countless books where the male and female took a peaceful walk in the park.
I blushed just thinking about it. They always did hold hands, but that didn't count for us right? Our situation is different so we couldn't do that kind of thing in public.
My left hand started to tap on my leg. I was nervous. I didn't know what to do. Should I grab his hand? Start up a conversation? Grab his shirt and kiss him? Wait… That last one should not be an option as much as I wish it was.
I could feel Roxas's heat from his hand. My right hand was so close to touching his. One move and we'd be touching hands, even brushing shoulders. Come on Zexion! Suck up your pride and grab his hand!
I gasped as my breath hitched. Our hands brushed against each other for a split second. I nervously fidgeted. I'm sure Roxas could hear my heartbeat.
I really wanted to grab his hand, but you couldn't do something like that in public. Isn't that odd? Seeing two men walking down the street holding hands.
Before I could even think about it anymore, I felt Roxas's hand slowly wrap around mine. I felt my blood start to boil with joy. Touching him felt so right.
Our fingers entangled in each other as our grip tightened. It was easy to see that our hands were not going to break. We walked hand in hand like that all the way to the location of our date.
**********
"I'm not sure about this Roxas…" I didn't think anything bad when I saw we were coming here. But now that I was in the middle of it I didn't like it.
"Come on Zexion. I'll help you the whole way." He extended his hands towards me, which I grabbed on to without hesitation. My knees buckled as I was lead away from the protection of the wall.
I have never ice skated in my life and now Roxas wanted me to. I was going to break my leg, or worse break Roxas's leg when I pull him down with me.
I tightened my grip on his hands as much as I could. I was so scared of falling on the hard ice. It would be really painful and I winced just at the thought. At the first moment I knew Roxas was a pro at this. Which wasn't fair at all.
"Wait! Roxas you're going to fast!" I could feel my feet sliding across the slippery ice. But my knees kept buckling and it was impossible to stand on my own.
"It's okay. I've got you." I held on to him as hard as I could. This was not fair at all. He's done this before! This is my first time on ice, and it was not as easy as it looked.
I felt myself start to lose my balance. I quickly leaned forward to steady myself. But the pick on the front of my skate dug in to the ice, throwing me forward.
I slowly opened my eyes when I noticed I hadn't been knocked unconscious. It turned out Roxas had caught me before I fell on to the ice. I let out a sigh of relief as I looked up at him.
He had a small smile on his face. "You're so cute, Zexion." I blushed on cue. I was not cute when I was terrified of falling.
"This is a lot harder than I thought." I pouted. I wanted to be as good as Roxas so we could actually skate together and not have him hold me up the whole time.
"You'll get the hang of it. It just takes time." I straightened myself on my own two feet and loosened my grip on Roxas when I noticed his hands becoming a little discolored. "How about you try it on your own."
I felt the color drain from my face. He meant on my own, like without him holding me up?! That was not possible! I could barely stand even when I held on to him.
"Just practice walking." I felt his hands slowly draw away from me. I closed my eyes and readied myself for a harsh fall. I waited and waited but it didn't happen. I opened my eyes to see myself actually standing on my own!
"Look Roxas! I can actually stand!" I jumped up from excitement. But I suddenly regretted it when my feet gave out when I landed. "Ahhh!" I felt a pair of hands wrap around my waist and stop me before I fell to the ice. It was Roxas of course. Thank God he was there.
He laughed. "Are you okay? A little too much excitement, huh?" I clutched on to him, afraid to let go again. I loved this date, but I did not like falling. "How about we call it a day?"
I sighed. I didn't want this to end; I was having a great time with Roxas. He was so much fun to be around and so good at saving my life. I wish I could repay him with something.
**********
We had walked as slow as we could when going home. Of course we were holding hands. We had a wonderful dinner after and before we knew it, it was already dark outside.
But we finally made it to my front porch. Our hands slowly fell apart as I turned to him. He was smiling at me as I was doing the same to him. I loved him so much.
"Today was amazing." I whispered as I blushed.
"Mmmm, I had a great time. We'll have to do it again sometime soon."
I nodded automatically. Of course I'd go out with him again! I always thought first dates were awkward and weird, but this date made it seem like we have been going out for months.
On instinct I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. I felt my heart flutter at the contact. It felt just as good as our first kiss had. My whole body shivered from it.
His hand laid against my cheek as he began to kiss me back. I licked and nipped at his lips to allow me inside but he didn't open his mouth. I really wanted this kiss to deepen.
He pulled apart before I had a chance to do anything further. I pouted as he smiled. "When did you get so good at this?" I blushed harder. It was because we practiced so much.
He leaned in one last time and pressed his lips to my cheek. My breath suddenly caught in my throat, stopping my breathing all together. He would kill me someday.
"I'll call you tomorrow. Love you."
"Ngh…" I couldn't get out the words I wanted to say. I was still too stunned from his kisses. He just smiled and started to head to the driveway. Damn it, I blew it!
I blinked a few times before I noticed Roxas was out of sight. I sighed and turned to the door. I drew out my keys and pushed them in to the key hole. Hearing the click of the door I opened it up.
I stopped breathing once again when I saw what was waiting for me. My mother was standing there with her arms crossed and her foot tapping.
"Care to explain what I just saw?"
