summery: Lee teaches y/n (she/her) how to skateboard
It was a bright Saturday afternoon, the kind that made you want to spend the day outdoors. Y/N stood in the middle of the park, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her shirt as she stared at the skateboard Lee had brought. The sun filtered through the trees, casting a warm golden hue on everything it touched.
Lee Garcia, her boyfriend, stood next to her with an encouraging smile on his face. He was dressed casually, a black cap perched backwards on his head, his dark hair sticking out a bit in front. His skateboard was already under one foot as he leaned casually, eyes glinting with excitement.
“Ready to conquer the board?” Lee asked, holding out his hand to her. Y/N laughed nervously, taking his hand. “I’m not sure about conquering, but I’m ready to give it a shot.”
“That’s my girl,” Lee said, pulling her closer. He placed a quick kiss on her forehead, making her feel a little less nervous. “Don’t worry, I’ve got you.”
She nodded, her heart fluttering at his reassurance. Lee was always there for her, in every possible way, and today was no different. He gently guided her towards the skateboard, helping her place her feet on the board while he kept it steady.
“Okay,” he started, positioning himself behind her, his arms loosely around her waist, “the trick is to stay relaxed. Bend your knees a little, find your balance. And don’t look down, look where you want to go.”
His breath tickled her ear as he spoke, sending a shiver down her spine. She tried to focus on his words, but it was hard when he was so close. She could feel the warmth of his body against her back, his hands firm yet gentle as they held her steady.
“Like this?” Y/N asked, shifting her weight slightly as she bent her knees. “Perfect,” Lee praised, his voice warm with affection. He pressed a kiss to the side of her neck, just below her ear, making her giggle. “You’re a natural.”
“Lee,” she said, biting back a smile, “you’re distracting me.”
“Can’t help it,” he murmured, his lips brushing her skin again. “You’re just too cute when you’re focused.”
Y/N rolled her eyes playfully, but her heart was pounding. She felt like she could float away on the joy his words brought her. “Alright, Mr. Smooth, what’s next?”
“Next,” Lee said, stepping slightly back but still keeping his hands on her, “I’m going to give you a gentle push, and I want you to try and keep your balance. Just remember to bend your knees and lean into the direction you want to go.”
Y/N took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, I’m ready.”
Lee grinned, proud of her determination. “Here we go.” He gently pushed the board forward, his hands hovering near her waist in case she wobbled.
For a moment, she felt unsteady, but then something clicked, and she found her balance. The skateboard rolled smoothly beneath her, and she let out a surprised laugh.
“I’m doing it!” she exclaimed, glancing back at Lee with wide eyes. “You’re amazing!” Lee called out, jogging slightly to keep up with her. His face was lit up with pure joy, watching her succeed.
After a few more feet, the board began to slow, and Y/N carefully stepped off, her heart racing with excitement. “Did you see that?”
Lee reached her in an instant, wrapping his arms around her and lifting her off the ground in a triumphant spin. “I did! You were incredible!”
She laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck as he set her down. Their faces were close now, noses almost touching. “I had a good teacher,” she whispered, her gaze dropping to his lips.
Lee’s smile softened, and he leaned in, capturing her lips in a sweet, lingering kiss. It was the kind of kiss that made the world fade away, leaving only the two of them standing in the warm afternoon sun. When they finally pulled apart, he rested his forehead against hers.
“I’m so proud of you,” Lee said softly, his thumb gently brushing her cheek.
“I couldn’t have done it without you,” she replied, her voice just as tender.
He kissed her again, a quick peck this time, before pulling back with a playful grin. “Wanna go again?”
Y/N laughed, the sound light and full of happiness. “Yeah, let’s do it.”
They spent the rest of the afternoon together, skating around the park, laughing every time she wobbled or fell, only to be caught by Lee’s strong arms. Each time she got back up, he was there with a smile, a kiss, and an endless supply of encouragement.
By the time the sun began to set, casting long shadows across the park, Y/N was much more confident on the board. They finally took a break, sitting on the grass with the boards lying next to them. Lee’s arm was draped around her shoulders, pulling her close as she rested her head on his chest.
“Today was perfect,” she murmured, closing her eyes as she soaked in the warmth of the moment.
Lee pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “Every day with you is perfect, Y/N.”
She smiled, tilting her head up to kiss him once more, slow and sweet, savoring the taste of their shared happiness. In that moment, she knew that no matter what came their way, as long as they had each other, they could conquer anything—even a skateboard.
