"I really can't believe you haven't done this before." Weiss says.
"Look, they didn't have a skating rink in Patch." Yang responds as she slowly slides forward, her arms held out for balance.
"Well it's not like Vale is far away." Blake adds as she easily moves over the ice. "Isn't it just like, a half an hour away?'
"Forty-five minutes." Ruby says, still not having gotten on the ice. "We just never bothered."
"So what you're saying is you had the option but just didn't." Weiss says, "That seems strange to me."
"You're from Atlas, of course you know how!" Ruby protests. "Wait, Blake, aren't you from Menagerie? Why are you so good at this?"
"I actually spent most of my time travelling with my parents for the White Fang. They always made sure to include some fun events. Ice skating was common, probably because we held quite a few of those protests in Atlas." she explains as she glides over to the edge and holds out her arm. "Come on."
"Thank you." Ruby says, taking her arm and holding onto her as she stepped out onto the ice, her feet slipping under her. She managed to stay up only but putting plenty of weight on Blake.
Blake couldn't help but smile down at her. It was kind of cute, seeing how she tried so hard to stay balanced. In battle Ruby backflip using her gun's recoil instead of her hands to move, and land on top of the weapon with the blade in the ground, steady on her feet. Here on the ice though, she seemed to be having trouble just standing; though Blake was perfectly happy to help her.
"This works." Weiss says, skating over to Yang to try and show her the basics. "You take care of that one and I'll handle teaching this one."
"Got it." She calls back, giving her a thumbs up with her free hand. "Can you stand yet?" She looks back at Ruby.
"I think so. Just standing, I can do that." She adjusts her feet and slowly lets go of Blake, managing to stay upright. "I did it!" she throws her arms in the air, but then her eyes go wide and she lowers them back down as she almost falls over.
Blake chuckles a bit at that. "Keep your balance, feel the weight shift. I've seen you fight, you can handle ice skating." She puts a hand on Ruby's back. "Now I'm going to push you, don't move, just keep your balance, alright?" At a nod of confirmation Blake lightly pushes, causing Ruby to slide forward, still hunched over slightly to keep balance.
"I'm doing it!" She says excitedly.
"You are." Blake smiles at her.
"I can skate!" Ruby throws her hands in the air again as she manages to spin completely around to face her, only to have both feet fly out from under her and into the air as she went crashing onto the ice. "Ohhh, Blake... My butt." She groans out.
Blake blushes for a moment, her jaw hanging a bit in surprise. Ruby's skirt had done no favors in concealing her modesty during that, and Blake now knew exactly what kind of panties she was wearing. Aside from that her groans sounded suspiciously similar to another sound she'd heard Ruby making just last night. Blake's mind came very close to diving into the gutter, but fortunately her desire to help her friend overwhelmed her desire to do... other things to her friend.
Only hesitating for a moment, to keep her mind on track, she skated over and reached down, taking Ruby's arm and helping her up. "Try not to do that again." she says, "I mean overreact. The falling part is obvious."
"Oh ha ha." Ruby leans into Blake as she's helped to her feet, and reaches back to wipe the ice from her butt and back. "Okay I think I did well otherwise and I'm starting to get the hang of it. How about you push me, and I try to keep going. Just stay near in case I fall."
"Sounds good." Blake puts her hands low on Ruby's back and gives her a push. Then she moves to follow as Ruby starts moving her feet to try and keep her momentum going.
"You got this Ruby, you got this." She says to herself as she begins to skate. "I got this, I got this... I don't got this!" she begins to swing her arms around trying to keep her balance before she falls down face first... right into Blake.
"I gotcha." Blake says, Ruby's arms having instinctively wrapped around her. She feels herself begin to blush a bit as Ruby looks up at her and smiles.
"Thanks, Blake."
"No problem." Blake helps Ruby back to her feet once more. Gods this was getting worse by the day. It had been some time since her... lack of self-control in the bathroom. However she'd been right about not being able to look at Ruby the same way again. But it wasn't just embarrassment at her actions, she also found her seeing Ruby in a different light; appreciating the way her hair moved, the curve of her hips in her pajamas, and the way she stretched her muscles after a good work out. Of course she'd begun appreciating more than just her appearance, unfortunately. She couldn't even pass it off as admiring her attractive friend's physical aspects. No, this had developed into a full blown, top tier, irrefutable crush. Worst of all, she had no idea how to get rid of it.
"Remnant to Blake! Could use some help over here." Ruby calls out, breaking Blake from her introspection as she, very slowly and awkwardly, skated forward. "I'm doing it!"
"Congratulations, Ruby." she skates over and offers up her arm, which Ruby gladly takes.
"Thanks, still kinda wobbly though." She watches her feet as she talks.
"You're doing as well as Yang." They direct their attention over to see Yang and Weiss in a similar position, just before Yang slips and drags Weiss down to the ice with her.
"Yang Xiao Long! If you're going to fall, let go of me!" Weiss says as she gets back on her feet.
"I thought the point was to hold onto you so I didn't fall." Yang says as she sits up. "Ugh just help me up so I can try again."
"Fine." Weiss says and reaches down to help her, only for Yang to drag her down to the ice again.
"And now Yang is flirting." Ruby says as she watches the two of them.
"Are you sure? Looks like she's just teasing her."
"Pretty sure." Ruby says as they begin to move again, leaving the other two to their antics. "The light teasing and playfulness is kind of her style. Her way of showing she cares."
"Her style? So not yours then?"
"Nah, I don't really flirt." Ruby says, "I'd probably just, try to spend as much time with the person I liked as I could. Be as near as possible. You know, if I liked someone." Then one foot suddenly slips out from under her and she holds on tighter to Blake as she finds her footing again. "Crap, ice is slippery."
"That it is." Blake says, and then furrows her brow. That had been an oddly timed slip-up, especially since Ruby had been doing so well... She dispels the thought. No, she couldn't let this crush play tricks on her mind. At least not any more than it already was. Like late at night a few days ago, when she'd been in bed, listening to Ruby, and thought she heard her name. Well, moan her name.
She shakes her head. Now was not the time for that. Now was the time for helping her friend and team leader learn how to ice skate. The added bonus of being in extremely close proximity was just a side benefit, and one she shouldn't let distract her. Even so, she could still appreciate how nice it was to have her here by her side. So often the time they spent together was simply as a team. Technically Yang and Weiss were currently still here, but with each giving their own lessons, it was easy to pretend it was just the two of them. Perhaps she enjoyed that a little too much, or perhaps it was a sign that maybe she should start planning more time for just the two of them.
For now though, she was just going to enjoy this. "It seems you're improving. Let's move on to something a little more difficult." She suggests. With that she begins giving instructions on how to move better and starts on a better lesson. The rest of the day passes far too quickly for any of them, with Blake's mind lapsing as before only a few times. By the end of the day Ruby was almost keeping up with her, and Yang was only barely behind Ruby. Eventually though the day did come to an end and they were forced to return home, though not before enjoying a very nice meal, courtesy of Yang and her lose to Ruby in their race. Overall it was a near perfect day, until Blake was lying there, just about to fall asleep, when she heard some sounds coming from Ruby's bed.
So that's that. There's already been a commission for another chap, so expect something kinkier in it. If you liked the fic, don't forget to leave a review, they're great for helping me write. Until next time, thanks for reading and have a nice day!
