See you next chapter!
Roxy held onto Dirk's arm with a grip of a small child leaving their mother for the first time. She slid and almost fell twice when they reached the rink.
" So, I thought you said you could skate Roxy? Dirk sent a glance at her and stood her upright.
"Its been a while, okay?"
"Hah, it's fine, just hold onto my hands, I'll show you what to do." Dirk stood in front of the blonde teen and held out his hands for her. Roxy shakily took them and he pulled her forward, "Okay, now just push your feet forward, like don't step just, just act like you're dragging your feet on carpet."
Roxy did as she was told as and almost ran into Dirk before he stopped her, in front of his chest, "You did great." He smiled down at her.
"Thanks!"
The two teen agers continued to skate around, Roxy holding onto Dirk, she had gotten the hang of walking on wheels, she just wanted to be closer to her date.
"Yo,Rox" Dirk glanced over at Roxy, "You hungry?"
"Kinda," she tripped and caught her balance, "You?"
"Yeah, let's get something to eat." Dirk glided towards the exit of the rink, pulling Roxy with him.
"I can pay for my ow-"Dirk cut Roxy's sentence off.
"I am not letting you buy anything. I invited you here, therefore I will pay."
"Are you sure? I have money with me."
"I am one hundred percent positive, Ms. Lalonde."
Roxy giggled and sat down at a table, patting the spot next to her ,"Come sit down for a bit, you look kinda tired."
"Meh," Dirk slid next to her, "As long as I am with you, I'm fine."
Roxy smiled and sighed, throwing her head back over the chair back. She was having fun and nothing could wreck it. As Roxy thought this, a short teenage boy skated over her foot, he was in a black long sleeve and had almost white hair, "Hey miss smiley, move your damn feet out of the walkway!"
"Karkat! Be nice!" A girl with long, poofy , black hair glided by and took his hand, "Sorry, he can be like that." A big grin spread on her red painted lips.
"Oh, its fine," Dirk waved his hand, "And you are…?"
"Oh, I'm Aradia. Nice to meet you.."
"Dirk, my name is Dirk, and this is Roxy." He put his arm around Roxy's waist, pulling her body closer to his. She visibly blushed at this.
Karkat stopped his pouting and spoke up "AA, come on, let's go skate now. Sorry for interfering." He scoffed and grabbed a hold of the dark haired girls hand.
Before she was pulled away, Aradia whispered "You guys are absolutely adorable!" gave a thumbs up, and skated off with the albino boy.
Dirk sat strait in his seat, staring forward, a slight pink dusting over his lightly freckled cheeks. Roxy did the same, but put her hands over her face and broke out into a smirk.
"…Roxy?"
"Yes~?"
"Do you, uh, you know, l-like me?" Dirk's voice wavered in the middle of his sentence.
"If you tell me first, I will tell you."
" Mrrrrrrf," Dirk groaned, "Fine. She's blonde and she has the prettiest eyes I have ever seen."
Roxy sat up, "And this dude is like, super tall and he's got a thing for covering his eyes."
He quirked an eyebrow at Roxy, "Does he have a name?"
"You tell me hers first."
Dirk sighed and mumbled out ,"You."
Roxy stared at him for a moment before slowly breaking into a large smile, then it faded, "Are you just messing around with me or ar-"
"Why would I lie about feeling attraction towards you, Roxy?"
"-I've been lied to okay."
"You don't have to worry about that," Dirk turned her face with his finger so she was facing him, " At least not from me."
Roxy reached up and held onto his wrist, trying to swallow a lump in her throat.
"You okay Rox?"
"Yeah." Roxy's voice was hushed, "I'm fine."
"Rox? Why are you embarrassed- or whatever you're feeling?"
"Just- reasons, it doesn't matter anymore, okay?''
"Yeah, okay," Dirk offered a slight smile to Roxy, which was returned back to him, "What do you wanna eat?"
"Whatever really."
"Nachos it is then." Dirk stood up and held his hand out for Roxy, "Wanna come?"
She took it and stood on her wheeled feet, he helped her skate to the counter and ordered their meal of soda, nachos, and fries.

Dirk walked Roxy to her doorway, "I had fun tonight, thanks for coming with me." His Texan drawl was showing more than earlier.
"Yeah I had fun too, I'm glad you let me come." She searched through her purse for her keys when Dirk's finger brushed over her hand lightly, "S-sorry 'bout that." He visibly blushed and stiffly put his hand down by his side.
"It's fine," Roxy picked it up in hers and smiled up at him, her pink irises gleaming. Dirk looked back her, a smile to match hers upon his lips. And with that, Roxy stood on her toes and kissed him on the cheek, leaving a smear of black lipstick on his blushing skin.
"Thanks again, Dirk." She let go of his hand and opened the door with a smirk.
Dirk stood there, his fingers dancing over his now stained skin. 'Was that even real? Did it really happen?' he was in shock. Not the bad kind of shock, the one that you get after a rollercoaster ride starts.
He walked down the driveway and got into his old car, starting up the engine and making his way to his own home.
