⤑ skating rink

@lee hoseok We got what we want too. I got the love of my life and my sweet baby and a little pup. Bubby has the best guys for parents.
/kisses you back before cupping your cheek
I love you, hyung. And yeah, let’s go shred some ice.
/laughs at you

@yuzuru hanyu I've got what I want, Yuzie. You and Bubby... any more babies that come along? Well.. that's just a plus.
*looks up at you after you answer, turning to press a quick kiss on your lips before resting my forehead against yours*
Just checking, my love~ Now come on. Let's get on that ice, hm?

@lee hoseok Whatever /we/ want. I want you to be happy with our home too
/walks with you over to a bench, starting to put my skates on as well, lacing them up tight, looking at you with furrowed brows at your tone
I know I can always talk to you, Seok. Even if it’s not the easiest conversation, I know that we’re both able to say what’s on our minds.

@yuzuru hanyu A big one in the country side... a lofty apartment in the city with a rooftop garden. Whatever you want.
*exchanges some money for a pair of skates in my size before leading you towards a bench so we could get ready together*
I hope.. I can return the favor of openness?
*asks softly as I replace my shoes with the skates before tying up the laces like you've shown me before*

@lee hoseok A big one? To fit Bubby and Marv and other little ones?
/follows you there though I have a pair of skates already
I think so too. I like when you talk to me about how you feel, even if it’s not good. I want to understand.
/leans up to kiss your cheek

@yuzuru hanyu We should get a real house together- I think that was our next big plan before adding another kiddo to the mix.
*nods in agreement as we step inside the building and head to the skate rentals*
I think we've been successful because we can communicate. You talk to me and you make me feel like I can always be honest with you... even when it's not good stuff.

@lee hoseok Mmhm. We wanted a big yard for the pup too
/follows you there, sticking close to steal your warmth
We’ve both been pretty poopy, just in different ways. I’m happy to be where we are now despite things that have happened. With Bubby and Marv too.

@lee hoseok /hugs you from behind

@wang yibo /your compliments elicits a giddy emotion from within, beaming brightly at the praise that makes me a little sheepish, following after you like a child with my grin still plastered massively across my face
hm ?
/i question the change in your decision, though seconds later i realise it may be because you actually remembered that hotpot was my favourite and it leaves me staring at you in awe for a moment. not one to jump to such wishful thinking, i shake my head, going ahead with what you want
nah, we'll have korean bbq. it'll give me the chance to practise my korean with /sunbae/
/i say slightly accented, teasing you with a little nudge while taking a hold of the helmet between my hands once we reach your bike
unless you genuinely want hotpot instead.. ?

@xiao zhan ah... he even pouts the same
/'i want to kiss the spot between his eyebrows when they get all scrunched up' - my voice inside of my head sighs, watching you pout at me and half glare though i know you don't mean it
/when you come near i expect you to pull me in for a smack or something, only to be hugged, my chest pressed to your own while my arms wind around you tight, squeezing you gently
mmh. you did. you're even more impressive now, xiao ge
/leads us off to change our shoes, heading out with you before i stretch my arms up, shaking out my arms as i ask
where should we eat?
i'm kinda feelin' korean food at the moment. but hotpot instead of bbq?

@wang yibo never would i dare ~
/i respond in a playful tone purposely to make you question whether i was being serious or not, yet i know myself to take my words to heart, adamant on not betraying your trust even in the smallest way
i-
..HEY ! WANG YIBO !
/calls your name aloud as you skate away from me, but quickly covers my mouth while watching as you end up at the other side in just a few seconds, brows furrowed as i stare with a pout
...traitor
/getting off to a bit of a shaky start, i skate noticeably slower along the rink, my hands still held out awkwardly, but it's significantly better than it was at the beginning. my smile grows wider as i get closer to you, arms outstretched as i reach you and pull you into a hug, laughing cheerfully at my success
i did it !!

@xiao zhan just don't tell the other members i said that- or any of the cast members. they might have my head for it
/mumbles softly, holding on a little longer before i reluctantly lean back, arms slipping away while my tummy does its little somersault at the sight of your bunny smile
food?
mmh... i'm starving. but you have to make it back to the exit all on your own!
/grins as i say as much, pushing off on the ice and whirling myself around, laughing as i pick up speed, so fast i'm off the ice on the other side of the rink within moments, now waving at you to hurry

@wang yibo /your reaction at first has me thinking that i had said something bad to offend you, but before i even get the chance to ask, your arms suddenly circle me, quite tight at that, a reaction i wasn't expecting at all, but it leaves my chest thrumming with delight, my own arms enveloping you in my embrace, a content smile appearing on my face at the sound of your confession
thank you, yibo.. i'm glad
/with a couple pats to your lower back, i loosen my hold and pull away so you're able to catch a glimpse of my bunny smile
i think this calls for some food. my treat ! anything you want

@xiao zhan /when you shake your had at first i'm worried you're about to tell me that no, you don't see me as your best friend, but it must be something else when you actually speak and let me know
/my eyes widen slightly as you not only tell me that i am, but why, my lips left parted as i struggle to think of what to say, so i don't, but i do let out a tiny gasp when i remember to breathe
you-
/before you can read the emotion on my face, not that you'd pick up what it meant knowing you, i throw my arms around your shoulders and hug you to me, biting at my bottom lip while i allow myself to cling on just a bit longer, voice whispering by your ear
i'm not as good with words as you, xiao ge... but you're my best friend too

@wang yibo /my lips fall agape very briefly, heart thudding a little stronger in my chest at the sight of you looking up at me with an entirely pure and innocent expression, the tip of your nose suddenly looking very kissable, though that thought leaves my mind just as quickly as it arrives, shaking my head outwardly as if physically dismissing the idea away
mn, best friend. i see you as my best friend, yibo. i've worked with many people, but you're the only one i'm still in close contact with.. the only one who takes care of me despite being busy yourself. not just a business partner would do that, didi. you're more than anything that's just a professional co worker to me
/when i speak to you, i keep my gaze fixed on yours, large orbs downed with a special glint while finishing off with a slightly sheepish smile

@xiao zhan Tsk... only you would say something so shameless
/still hesitant my gaze shakily holds onto your own until it becomes too much, ny face bowing once again though the tips of my ears give me away still
Best friend...
/rolls the word around in my mouth before I look up at you, my eyes a little shiny and the tiniest of frowns causing the skin above my nose to scrunch up as I ask
...am I your best friend, gege?

@wang yibo i think the actor that played lan wangji would pass off as more than pretty enough for a woman though ~
/i say in a playful manner
/my body is turned to face you once you initiate our random pause on the ice, head tilted as i watch you with curious eyes while wondering what it is you're struggling to say aloud, assuming you're just the type to not respond to compliments well. your comment brings an exasperated smile to my lips, clicking my tongue by the roof of my mouth in objection
no, no. you've been like this even before you met me, yibo. don't underestimate yourself
you know, i find myself feeling... really proud, whenever i see you working hard. i don't know what it is..
it's kind of like an, "everyone ! that's my best friend !" emotion

@xiao zhan mnh. i did see it. they were very pretty, of course the woman was wei wuxian though
/the compliments you lavish upon me cause me to duck my head a bit, eyes glued to the ice as i feel my cheeks beginning to flush, a light pink dusting over the tops of my cheeks
gege...
/slows down a little, looking up finally and meeting your gaze as i bring us to a stop, my fingers twitching at your caress before i part my lips, trying to say something but struggling
... well
i learned to have such a good attitude from you, didn't i?

@wang yibo it kinda reminds me of the couples skating performance that the professionals did to our ost.. did you see it ?
/i hum in objection at your humble comment, words spoken naturally in a softer tone as i talk about your positive traits
you're good at many things, yibo and even if you're not, it doesn't matter, because no matter your situation, you're always trying your hardest to do your best at whatever grabs your attention. and you have a natural talent for many things. not many people are as special, didi. you're one of a kind
/i finish with a proud smile, my thumb caressing the back of your hand encouragingly, making sure you see my sincerity as i nod in your direction

@xiao zhan what?
no way. that's olympic level nonsense
/shakes my head a little before i feel you nudge me, looking at the spot touched and then back up at you instead
idiot
when am i good at everything? i do a lot of things, but it doesn't mean i'm good at them all
/mumbles sheepishly, avoiding looking at you as i feel more than a little bit embarrassed over it, shy too

@wang yibo /i naturally find my digits interlocking between yours, giving your hand a gentle squeeze in gratitude as i glide alongside you, chuckling mostly at my ridiculous imagination
okay, i don't know why but i was expecting some next yurii on ice performance
you can't blame me for thinking that though, since you're so good at literally.. everything
/though normally i'd say these words jokingly, i mean it this time, playfully giving you a nudge to try and trigger the shy side of you, even if only for a few seconds

@xiao zhan /when i see you're alright I let out a small sigh, my hands sliding over your arms for a moment before i slide back and give you some room
And i just go fast -
/adds on quietly before I take your hand again, skating with you but closer than I had before, protectively
...With the skating, I mean. No fancy jumps or anything

@wang yibo nooo ~ i wanna see you look all elegant and majestic, i swear !
/my words are completely genuine, head nodding enthusiastically so you'd actually believe me, actually rather excited to see you having fun in your own experienced pace
/my mind doesn't process what happened, even until after i'm forced against the rink side with a sharp gasp, automatically the front of your shirt as i try to regain my stability, gazing at you wide eyed as my head tips once into a slow nod
y-yeah, yeah i'm fine
just.. wasn't expecting that.. thank you

@xiao zhan mmh. just like someone else i know
/mutters under my breath softly before shrug when you mention me being gentlemanly, playing it off like it doesn't have my stomach doing all kinds of flips
why?
so you can see me fall flat on my ?
/snorts a little, skating around the sides of the rink with you, though someone comes up behind too fast and i act before i think much, pressing your body up against the stable rink side, caging you while i end up being jostled on my own when the guy half collides into me
/he apologises but i barely pay him attention, instead looking at you with a half angry, half worried expression
ge-
are you alright?

@wang yibo shush, shush, we're not having this conversation right now-- wei wuxian was a complicated man, okay
/a little hum sings from me once you take my hand so delicately, following you with a little nod, my smile growing bashful due to your soft words
that's very gentlemanly of you, yibo
though i would like to see you show off on the ice sometime soon ~

@xiao zhan what? for all the hardships he brought him?
/retorts back playfully, skating right up beside you before i sweep one of your hands up in my own, tugging gently
come. skate with me this time
we can stay by the side to make you feel better
/suggests before i tilt my head a bit, giving you another smile as i do so

@wang yibo /i hold on to the side of the rink once you let go, not yet comfortable with changing directions while on the skates, so i make sure to keep my balance against the side while i turn, pushing myself along the ice, albeit slowly, but still on my own, taking my time with my arms outstretched to balance myself, chuckling at your comment
hey, his reputation wouldn't have been as known if it wasn't for lan wangji being by his side
/i flash a wink in your direction, hoping you'd catch onto the underlying gratefulness

@xiao zhan /as you make it over to me and hold on tight i give your hands a squeeze right back, glancing over your shoulder at the distance you've made all on your own
you did
now you can do it on your own
/grins as i let go of you, moving to the side and skating around slowly, always circling back closer to you though, like a magnet pulled in but i tell myself its just me making sure you're alright
you're doing great. just a little more confidence, channel that handsome troublemaker you played
