“get your boots on!” phil’s voice rang out across the house, startling you from your reading. across the hall you heard doors open and slam, then feet pounding down the stairs. eventually, if not reluctantly, you followed.
everyone was already in the dining room except techno, who was traipsing down after you, his long pink hair stuck up in random places.
“what’s all this?” techno’s voice was gruff, another sign that he’d just been sleeping.
“lake’s frozen over! we’re going skating!” phil shouted from the kitchen, then rounded the corner bundled like a marshmallow. wil snickered.
and it’s true, tommy was, his figure completely obscured in layers and layers of warmth. the rest of you hurried, eager to catch up with tommy and make it outside.
it was once you got to the ice pond, however, that an issue occurred.
“i actually haven’t been skating in a while,” wilbur gulped. techno was eyeing the slight cracks around the edges doubtfully. even tommy looked a little nervous. you, on the other hand, were ecstatic. sure it had been a while, but that meant all the more reason to get on as soon as possible. 
“it’s solid out here!” phil’s voice rang loud from the middle of the lake, his skates sure as he coasted gracefully. you moved to follow, and wilbur stopped you, not about to be bested by his sibling.
“are you sure you don’t wanna let me go first and test it for you?”
“fine. we’ll go at the same time.”
you shrugged, and complied. with a few careful steps, suddenly you were on, moving gracefully, even gliding. phil let out a holler of praise and you beamed before hearing a sickening thump behind you. turning far too fast to be safe, you took in the sight behind you, and then burst into laughter. wilbur, face down on the ice, beanie askew, with tommy inching around him cautiously.
“cmere tommy,” you skated back to them and took the blond boys hand, leading him along. he never quite got the hang of it, but he was so small that you could help him with ease. after he’d had his fill, it was techno’s turn.
this brother learned quicker, only needing your firm hand for a few minutes before he was skating to meet phil with a slight smile at the edge of his lips.
and so you went back for the brunette sitting on the edge of the ice.
wilbur glanced up to your outstretched hand.
“get. up. you’re never gonna learn just sitting there.”
after a few seconds of visible internal debate, your brother took your hand. the whole time you were tugging him he was grumbling, swearing under his breath each time his feet threatened to slide out.
“you’re welcome,” you finally said after your managed to make a whole loop of the lake with his hands clutched to your arms.
“thank you,” wilbur almost snarled.
