"Well don't you look absolutely adorable."
"Please be quiet, Akashi-kun."
A chuckle. "Well? How long are you going to stand there?"
"All day if I have too."
"That's no fun. This is supposed to be a date."
"You can go have fun without me. I can just stand here and watch you."
"And how am I supposed to have fun if you're not with me?"

"Tetsuya. Don't tell me you don't know how...?"
Kuroko looked off the side. "I never had the chance to learn."
"Then why don't I teach you? It's not so hard. Come, Tetsuya."
The way the red head had said his name with gentle affection brought Kuroko to raise his hand and take the hand that was offered to him. Hesitantly, he walked forward, grasping a rail to make sure he wouldn't fall while walking on the sharp and deadly contraption. Standing at the edge of his safety zone, he warily looked down at the imposing sheet of blue before lifting a leg and stepping down on it. Akashi kept a firm hold on Tetsuya's arms, while his hands held his arms, so that he wouldn't slip and fall. That would be unpleasant.
"Tetsuya. You're too tense. Relax. Bend your knees and lean forward a bit."
Doing as he was told, the teal head's grip on the others arms tightened as he felt them moving.
"You were able to walk on these things with ease, so at least you're a bit used to the feel of the skates. Just imagine yourself gliding on the ice...as if you were running across the court."
As they continued for a while, with Akashi extended the distance between them more and more until they were both at arms length away from each other, their fingers still clasped together, all the while encouraging the teal head with comments of 'You're getting the hang of it', 'You're doing very well', 'Yes, just like that. Keep your balance and center of gravity'.
Kuroko, meanwhile, was too busy staring at the way his feet moved on the ice that he was completely startled when he felt hands leave his. With a surge of panic and a small cry, his feet slipped out from under him, landing on his bottom on the ice. Looking up at the red head who was standing in front of him with arms crossed and a satisfied smirk, Kuroko glared. "That was mean and uncalled for, Akashi-kun."
"You cannot hope to learn and achieve without tasting failure, Tetsuya."
The teal head deadpanned. "I'm amazed you can say such a thing with a straight face."
Chuckling, Akashi bent down. "Come. I'll show you how to stand up from a fall."
Grumbling, Kuroko followed the red head's instructions. "I want a vanilla milkshake after this."
"Of course."
"And I'll be sleeping in the other room tonight."
"...And why is that?"
"Akashi-kun's punishment for being mean."
"And do you honestly think I'll let you get away from me?"
"...Then I guess I'm going to spend the night at Kagami-kun's place."
"Don't you dare."
My mom was flipping through the channels one evening and she left it on a channel where it was showcasing a figure skating competition.
Ah. And I don't know how to skate either :3
