“For two.” Ryomen’s voice is a deep grumble that cuts through the commotion of the outside skating rink. You were nearly bouncing on your toes from the excitement, having practically dragged your boyfriend here kicking and screaming, but you two made it here regardless. The guy on the other side of the counter nods, handing you the tickets for the skate rental while Ryomen pays.
You continue to drag him along, his brooding figure and almost scary aura had the crowd of kids and adults alike parting like the sea around the two of you. Eventually making it to the skate stand, you wait in line behind a few other couples. You take the time to look around the rink, taking in the space around you. Watching the people skating around on the ice from where you stand, smelling all the delicious concession stand food, watching people walk pass with hot chocolate tucked in their hands.
Moving forward in line, you tug lightly on Sukuna’s sleeve, trying to get his attention. The loud area, plus the height difference between the two of you makes hearing you extremely difficult. Ignoring the grumble under his breath as he leans down, his ear pointed towards you.
“Can we get hot chocolate after our skates, please?” Your hand grabs his chin, turning his face to look at you just so you can be sure he sees the puppy dog eyes on your face, really pulling all the stops. He simply sighs, but you notice the slight smirk in his lips as he stands back up to full height, dragging you toward the clerk as the last couple in front of you leaves with their skates.
He didn’t out right say yes, but you knew you were going to get that hot chocolate.
“Size 7 please.” You smile at the man behind the counter, handing him your ticket. Sukuna does the same and you both get your shoes, turning to the nearest bench to begin lacing them up. But before you can sit down, Sukuna grabs onto your upper arm and starts dragging you through the crowd. You squawk, stumbling over your feet trying to keep up with his monstrous stride.
You try to yell at him to slow down, but he didn’t respond to any of your attempts at getting his attention. Eventually you let yourself be dragged along, just doing your best to stay up on both feet and not eat dirt. When Sukuna finally stops, it comes so abruptly that you run into the back of him, your face colliding with his back. Grumbling, you step back rubbing your nose, looking around at wherever Sukuna had dragged you.
“It’s quiet over here.” He shrugged, voice uninterested as he sat down, simply beginning to lace up his skates. You stand there for a second, before sighing, being with Sukuna this is something you should be use to by now. Sukuna rarely, if ever, talked through his actions. He just did, and either you caught on or you didn’t. He didn’t care.
It wasn’t like he was wrong either, it was significantly quieter over here. A small little alcove tucked almost behind the concession stands. The warmth from the stall warming the air slightly, and the building helped to muffle the noise from the rest of the rink.
“Well warn a girl next time.” You huff, plopping down next to him, dusting off your jeans dramatically. He pays your little ‘scene’ no mind, not even bothering to look up from tying his shoes. Which only serves to make you pout harder, huffing again and grabbing your skates, slipping them on your feet as well. Your small annoyance is quickly forgotten once the ice skates are actually on your feet, the excitement coming back full force.
“Let’s go Ryo! I’m ready to skate.” You exclaim, standing from the bench, throwing your arms out to balance yourself as the skates make it difficult to stand and walk on normal ground. Turning to him, the wide smile on your face quickly sours as you realize he doesn’t even have his shoes on.
“Sukunnnaaaa…” You whine, throwing your head back dramatically. Your hand reaches out to curl around his sleeve, tugging on the fabric childishly as you continue to whine about him taking so long, and how excited you were, he needed to hurry up, your abruptly cut off when his other hand comes up over your mouth, muffling your whining into his palm.
“Brat, your incessant whining is going to give me and everyone else in this god forsaken place a headache.”
You lick his palm, and he rolls his eyes, pulling his hand away from your mouth as he looks away. At first, you think it’s the trick of the light, but when you look closer you realize…no, he’s actually blushing. To your surprise, you notice a slight dusting of pink coating Sukuna’s face. The pink nearly matching his hair in its intensity.
“Babeee…” You sit yourself down next to him, leaning over him trying to meet his gaze but he continues to move his head around, stubbornly refusing to look at you. The blush connected the dots for you, honestly you had your suspicions before you two got here, you just wanted to see how far Sukuna would take it.
“I won’t make fun of you I swear, I’ll hold your hand the whole time.” You try to reassure him earnestly, but you can’t help the smile that spreads on your lips at his cute pout. Rarely getting to see your big, scary boyfriend in such a small position, you want to relish in your new found power. It’s only for a few hours!
His scowl deepens at your words, turning to face you. Your eyes lock together and your silently plead him using your expression, praying to everyone who’s listening that your puppy eyes don’t fail you. After a few long, painstaking moments, he relents. Closing his eyes with a sigh, he bends over to resume putting on his skates, surrendering himself to his fate.
You squeak with excitement, barely able to contain yourself as you wait impatiently for him to finish his laces. Your smile stretched so wide that your cheeks start to ache. Eventually, he stands with a grunt, his large arms shooting out as he wobbles immediately. His body unuse to the balance required when wearing ice skates, walking on the thin blade is a difficult adjustment.
Your face softens as you look at him, reaching forward to take his hands in yours. Sukuna’s face turns to you, a scowl ever present but it isn’t as scary when its combined with his wobbly knees. Despite your best efforts, a small laugh escapes and you cut it off as soon as you notice but the damage has already been done. Sukuna is sitting back down, going to untie his laces.
“No, ‘kuna please!” You giggle, reaching forward to get him to stop while he playfully fights you off, trying to hold back the smile peeking on his face.
Eventually, you both get on the ice. You’re standing in front of him, his hands gripping yours with strength that makes your fingers ache but you don’t say anything. If you did, you’re sure it would only make the current situation worse. Sukuna’s cheeks are flushed with the same pretty pink, and its getting harder and harder to resist cooing at him.
“Do not stare at me like that, you little shit.” His voice sounds harsh, snappy, but you laugh freely at his words, knowing that he doesn’t actually mean them. Over the years, you’ve learned he’s like a feral stray cat that you feed on your porch. Loyal, kind of mean, but really just scared. You think its cute, Sukuna acts like he doesn’t know what you’re talking about.
“Well I’ve got to look at you to make sure you don’t hurt yourself.” You look genuine, and of course you are, but your voice is patronizing in a teasing way just to get on his nerves because you want to. Its fun to watch his nostrils flare like a bull, and instead of giant horns head butting you, it’s just a little cat butting into your arm.
He glares at you, but the look quickly fades when he loses his balance for a second. Panic crossing over his face as he tries to keep himself upright. Unfortunately, even your steady hands in his isn’t enough to keep him steady, and to your horror Sukuna falls flat on his ass in the middle of the skating rink. You gasp, along with a few other people in the near vicinity who watched him go down.
Your hand claps over your mouth to hide the laugh that your desperately trying to swallow, skating forward to try and help him stand. Though, a few giggles slip out when you go to ask if he’s alright, your hand outstretch to him to try and help him up. His head slowly looks up at you, his eyes blinking at your hand, before looking back up at your face.
It all happened so fast.
One second, your standing in front of Sukuna after he had just fallen trying to ice skate, now you have somehow landed on the ice next to him, the ice melting slightly under your body heat, soaking into your winter clothes, making you squirm.
“You dick!” You’re both laughing now, his own deep rumble cutting through the ambient chatter around you. His head thrown back, hands clutching at his stomach in a dramatic fashion. You smack his arm playfully before someone skates over in front of the two of you, looking up you both realize it’s one of the workers who had noticed you both laying on the ice and were worried you were hurt.
Thankfully, the worker helps you both up and off the ice. Sukuna deciding that he had had enough ice skating for the rest of his life. Your sitting down on the same bench from before, hunched over your knees untying your boots. You just finish up taking them off when Sukuna walks in front of you, two steaming cups in his hands, another light blush high on his cheeks.
“Couldn’t leave with getting you hot chocolate.” He shrugs, trying to be nonchalant as he hands you your cup. You cradle the warm beverage in your cold hands, taking a small sip, relishing in the warm liquid as it settles in your stomach.
You smile, leaning over to place your head on his shoulder, snuggling into his side. “Thank you.” You mumble simply, he hums while taking another sip of his hot chocolate before leaning over and placing a soft kiss on the top of your head. The sweet gesture warms you more than any hot chocolate ever could.
