Have you ever been on a date, and its so terribly awkward that you could probably cut the tension with a knife?
This was one of those times.
We're in the car, and I can't quit staring at my phone screen. He hasn't said a word since we got in the car, and it honestly feels like he's ignoring me.
I rubbed my face a bit, deciding it would probably be a good idea to text someone about how the date is going. I settled on Demyx, my fingers moving quickly across the keyboard

Me (12:51): Demyx, help me. My God. I think he's ignoring me. I want to sob.

I rubbed my face again, pretending to be tired. Am I that boring, that all he can do is stare at the road? He can't be such a bad driver that he can't even talk when he's driving. Sora can talk and drive, and thats saying something.

My phone buzzed in my hand, and I snapped it open.

Demyx (12:53): Stay cool! Are you guys at the rink, or...? Ask questions! Try to be sociable!

I scratched the back of my neck, trying to pull a question from somewhere. I texted back as I thought, biting my lip.

Me (12:56): No, we're on the way there. He's driving. What do I ask, man?! Augh!

I snapped my phone shut, staring at my knees.

"So uh... What bands do you like?" I asked, sneaking a peek at him. What the hell kind of a question is that, Roxas?! Come on man, get it together! I winced at myself, waiting on a response.
Absolutely
nothing.

I sighed, and stared out the window. This is going horribly! Is he shy or something..?

The phone vibrated in my hand again, multiple times. Is Demyx spamming me or something? Maybe a long message... I opened the phone, looking down at the screen.

Demyx (1:08): (1/2) Oh no, Roxas! He can't talk and drive! He used to do just about everything when he drove, and he got into a wreck. Ever since, he re

Demyx (1:08): (2/2) fuses to talk or do anything while driving. Though, i'd imagine he'd let you know beforehand. Don't be hard on him!

Oh man! I rubbed my head, feeling like an idiot. That makes a lot more sense than him ignoring me. I hurridly texted Demyx back, as he pulled into a parking space at the rink.

Me (1:10): Oh Jesus! Thank you, Demyx! You really saved my ass! We're at the rink, I gotta go! Tell you about it later.

I closed my phone, and turned sheepishly to Axel.

"H-Hey, Demyx told me-"
"Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, and Rise Against. Just to answer your question." Axel smirked, getting out of the car. He closed his door and jogged to my side, opening my door for me.

"O-Oh. Thank you!" I smiled up at Axel, pocketing my phone. I climbed out of the car, sheepishly grabbing his hand. We walked towards the doors, and I stared at the ground. "So that's a strange combination of bands. Well, minus Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy, that's to be expected. But Rise Against? Kinda out of the blue.."

"Hey, don't hate. I listen to a lot of rock types anyway, so.." He smiled and opened the door for me, ushering me into the cold ice rink.

A gust of cold wind caressed my face as the door opened, and I shuddered involuntarily.

The ice rink was bright and well lit, with an all glass ceiling. I'd personally never been in the rink before, because I never had a reason to. I stopped and looked around, completely amazed. The ceiling was huge!
I felt Axel's hand tugging me forward. He chuckled, shaking his head.
"You're more ADD than I thought, darling."

Darling? I blushed a bit, staring down at my shoes. Axel and I reached the counter, and I couldn't help staring at my shoes. What were they thinking? Were they mocking us? Judging us?

"Hi, two ice skates please. Size 12 and.." Axel peeked down at my shoes that I was staring intently at, and he whispered, "what size?"

I choked a bit, and breathed out a 10. Axel chuckled, saying "And a 10." The guy across the counter nodded, moving to go grab the skates. Axel moved his hand up to my upper arm, his mouth against my ear. "Don't be shy. Pretend its just you and me." I blushed, and I moved my face closer to his. Our cheeks touched, and he smirked. "Thats better. Just you and me. No fear, okay?" I nodded quietly, blushing again.

The clank of the skates hitting the counter snapped us out of it, and the guy smiled. "For the beautiful couple. No shame."

Axel smiled, and nodded. "Thank you, very much. Have a nice day!" Axel turned me around to some benches, and pushed me ever so gently into the bench. "It might help if you got your skates on." He chuckled, getting on one knee to help me get them on. I blushed, staring at my lap while he did so.

With both of our skates on and ready to go, we unsteadily walked to the edge of the rink. Axel smiled at me, and then stepped with one foot onto the ice. He grabbed the side of the rink to keep him steady, and he put his other foot down on the ice.

"Never done this before?" He smiled, motioning for me to come onto the ice with one hand. "I'll get you, I promise." Like shit i'm gonna go into the ice! I'm gonna fall on my ass and look like an idiot! I squirmed, deciding to just take a leap and go for it. I put one foot onto the ice, and it slid towards Axel. He grabbed my hips, pulling my other foot onto the ice. I yelped, thinking we were gonna fall. Axel chuckled, his mouth right next to my ear again.

"I told you i'd catch you."
