Jared smiled a little, and nodded. "Nice to meet you." he said, following Victor and the other man. He sighed softly, and ran a hand through his hair.
Idk what I'm doing but I have a character // OxO // Closed
"Now. We'll get you fitted for some skates, it shouldn't take to long." The man, Anthony hummed as he leads them to the skates. "Now, Victor. You go ahead and find your size, I'll help your friend here." Victor looked at Jared for permission.
Jared nodded at Victor. "Go ahead. I'll be fine for five minutes." He gave a small smile. So long as I don't cut myself, anyway.
He nods and walks off to the skates. Anthony smiles warmly. "Alright, let's go get you some shakes!" He claps his hands together. "Mind if I measure your feet real quick?"
Jared smiled a little. "Nah, go ahead. What do you need me to do?" He asked, looking at Anthony curiously.
"Just take off your shoes. I'll do the rest." He smiles in reply before gently guiding Jared to a seat and grabbing a measuring tape. "Alright. Go ahead and make yourself comfortable."
Jared took his shoes off and sat down, studying Anthony guardedly. Sure, he trusted Victor, and was pretty sure that Anthony wouldn't hurt him, but he wasn't sure.
Anthony double checked his measurements before scrambling off to the side. "I've got the perfect pair!" He giggles as he gently takes a beautiful looking pair off the shelf. "These should fit. Try them on." He hands them to the other.
Jared blinked, and slowly put them on, careful to avoid touching the blades with his hands. "Thanks." He said with a small smile.
"They fit perfectly!" He laughs quietly. "Alright. Let me go find Victor." He hums happily. "I'm right here." Victor walks out from behind a rack, holding a pair similar to Jareds.
Jared smiled a little, and remained seated, sure that if he stood up, he would fall. "Thanks." He replied, looking up at the two.
He helped the other up and smiled warmly. "Come on, let's go." He mutters softly. He gently guides the other to the rink and smiles. "It'll be fun." He smiled at the other.
Jared wobbled a little on the skates, and unintentionally held tightly to Victor so he wouldn't fall. "It better be." He replied a little teasingly.
Victor smiled, supporting him until they got on the ice. "Alright. Let's take it nice and slow." He explains gently, guiding him on the ice.
Jared nodded, going still as they got on the ice, looking down at his feet and focusing on keeping his balance.
Victor smiled a little, helping carefully. "It's okay. Just follow my lead." He gently guides them further onto the ice, "Like this." He shows Jared how to move his feet, keeping balance.
Jared did as he said, staring at their feet and trying not to go sprawling across the ice. He slipped a little, and wobbled, clinging to Victor to keep from falling.
Victor was sturdy and strong, so he smiled a little when the other stumbled a little. "Easy, there you go." He laughs softly. "Nice and steady."
Jared chuckled softly. "Thanks." He said, a little embarrassed to have to hold on to Victor like this.
"It's no problem. Thank you for agreeing to go ice skating with me." He gives a warm smile. "Now, keep following my movements. There you go!"
Jared did as Victor had asked. smiling a little. He kept his gaze fixed on their feet so he could follow Victor's movements best.
He smiled at the other. "There you go, nicely done." He hums as he gently guides the other. "You're doing well. Are you sure you haven't skated before?" He asks curiously.
Jared smiled a little. "Maybe once, but if I have, it was a long time ago." he wobbled again, and his eyes flashed. He clung to Victor again.
Victor was steady, holding onto Jared. "Easy now, breathe." He says gently, his eyes soft. "Keep going. Tell me when you're ready to go on your own."
Jared nodded a little, and kept working on just being able to move his feet without them sliding out from under him. "I'm going to fall and bruise my ass, aren't I?" he asked with a wry laugh.
Victor helped him carefully, his movements slow and careful. "No, I'll catch you." He laughs lightly, "So, I suppose no. You will not fall and bruise your ass." His eyes were bright with laughter.
Jared laughed softly. "Mm. Thank you." he replied, still holding onto Victor carefully as he slowly got better at skating.
Victor nods and smiled genuinely. "Of course!" He chuckles and guides the other. "You can let go when you feel comfortable enough to do so."
Jared smiled a little. "Is that a hint that I'm making you uncomfortable? I can let go if you need or want me to." he chuckled softly.
Victor shook his head. "No, no. Not what I meant at all." He laughs. Truth be told I wouldn't mind if you never let go- No! Bad Victor. Very bad.
