Anything For You

Oliver wrapped the burgundy scarf around Percy's neck and smiled, pressing a kiss to the frown on his boyfriend's face.

"Hooligan," Percy muttered.

Laughing, Oliver shook his head. "Come on, Perc, it'll be fun!"

"I'm going to fall over and break something!"

"I'll hold onto you," Oliver promised as he pushed Percy through the door to their flat and locked up behind them. "I won't let you fall."

Percy simply huffed and offered Oliver his arm for the two of them to apparate away.

…

Oliver loved ice skating. He had the fondest memories of spending hours as a child on the nearby lake, his mother reinforcing the ice and letting him skate rings around it until he tired himself out.

Percy, on the other hand, had only ice skated once, and it hadn't been the best experience for him. He'd ended up with a cut on his head and a broken wrist, and his brothers biting their lips as they tried not to laugh at the admittedly spectacular fall.

But then… Percy would do anything to make Oliver happy.

And ice skating made him happy.

That was the only possible reason that Percy was lacing up the bladed boots, feeling more and more nauseas as he watched the people already skating around the rink.

…

Oliver had never been to a real ice skating rink, and he'd been itching to try one out ever since he'd heard Harry mention it in passing.

Holding his hand out to Percy, he stepped onto the ice and helped his boyfriend do the same. Percy clutched at the barrier, his face screwed up in concentration and fear.

Oliver knew he really shouldn't find it so adorable, but he couldn't help it.

"Are you ready?"

Percy shook his head adamantly. "Why don't you skate around for a while and then I'll join you?"

Oliver shook his head. "I promise I won't let you fall. Let go of the side, Perce."

…

Percy let go and his legs seemed to turn to jelly immediately. Oliver had a firm grip on his arm, but Percy still didn't feel steady.

"I have you," Oliver promised, before he kicked off gently, tugging Percy with him.

Percy yelped and clutched at Oliver's arm with his free hand, so he was holding on to the same arm with both hands. Oliver chuckled slightly but didn't try and pry him off. He went slowly, taking them in a simple circle around the rink.

"Okay?" Oliver asked, when they'd made a full circuit.

Percy nodded. He still felt sick, but Oliver had kept him on his feet, so it was—

"I'm going to go a bit faster, this time, okay?"

…

Percy's face said that was very much not okay, but Oliver skated a little faster anyway, pulling Percy with him. He knew that if he could just lose the fear, Percy would be okay.

Round and round they went, mingling with the other skaters, and beside him, Oliver felt Percy finally relaxing into the rhythm of the motions.

"Better now?" he asked, grinning wide when Percy smiled at him and nodded.

"Better," Percy agreed.

Oliver spun them into the middle of the rink and replied, "Good."

…

"Oliver?"

"Just stand still and you won't fall," Oliver replied, letting go of Percy's hand. He reached inside his jacket and pulled out a small box, as he dropped to one knee.

Around them, people were stopping to watch, a few of them gasping, many of them smiling.

Percy could only pay attention to Oliver, who was smiling up at him nervously as he opened the box to reveal a shining silver ring.

"You make every day better, Perce. Marry me, and stay forever?"

Swallowing against the lump in his throat, tears filling his eyes, Percy nodded.

Oliver surged to his feet and wrapped his arms around Percy, spinning him around on the ice.

…

They made their way off the ice, accepting the congratulations from the strangers around them. Oliver helped Percy take off his boots, and then slipped the ring onto his finger.

"I love you," Percy murmured, pressing a kiss to his lips.

"I love you too," Oliver replied, happily. "Your nose is freezing though. Lets go and get hot chocolate, hmm?"

Percy nodded eagerly. "Now I love you even more."
