"I'm not made of water. Fine, I promise no more crying for tonight." Alex wiped the last of his tears and the gesture brought warmth to his heart. "Really? You like my blush that much?" And as if teasing, Elliot's face was tinted pink again. "Can't help it... you got this effect on me."

With all the drama gone, the two went back to what they were actually came here for, to skate. It was fun when Alex led him with one fast whoosh to the center but after that Elliot became scared again because for the life of him he can't seem to get his balance and would repeatedly wobble in his steps. He would fall forward and he would be forced to grab on to Alex since there was nothing else there to hold onto. "I-I trust you. Please don't let me fall." His mate was really the sneaky type he thought. Can't complain though because he also like the idea. 

At first Elliot was determined to balance himself on his own in an attempt to impress his new alpha. He really did tried but he can't help slipping and wobbling. Alex seemed amused though that made Elliot blush as he continued failing on his skates. It was unfair. How come Alex was able to skate around him with ease while he was stuck being a penguin. It made him pout. After a number of huge slips and Alex's shirt almost close to ripping with how hard he was clutching and gripping on it, he gave up and just leaned into his alpha's hold, letting him guide the two of them around the rink. 

"Can you teach me, how to skate like you do? I don't know why but I just can't do it right. You look so professional and I'm just a failure at this." He wanted to learn how to do it right so that someday when he got the hang of it he can skate side by side with Alex, skating so freely without the care of falling.
