And Dance With Me to Neverland – by isumiilde (Makoto/Rin)

They walk along the canals, make a detour to the Akagawara Craft District, follow another waterways, pass a small coffee shop and finally make it to the town center. There’s an open skating rink circling the big Christmas tree where children happily chase each other in. Rin takes a long look at the skating rink, then turns to Makoto and says, “Oi, Makoto, let’s skate.”

“Eh?” Makoto blinks. Well, that comes as a surprise. Makoto’s pretty good in the water, but he’s pretty sure he’d make a spectacle of himself if he tries to get on ice. He is physically huge, and nothing about him is graceful. Not even his swimming. “Uh, I’m—Rin, I’m not sure it’s a good idea—“

Rin smirks. “What,can’t you ice skate?”

The heat spreads on Makoto’s face so fast, he isn’t sure if it’s from embarrassment or disapproval. His tone turns defensive. “Well, I don’t do it a lot. None of my family like it, and the last time I went was back in grade school…”

“Eh, don’t worry about it,” Rin shrugs. “You just need to get used to it. I’ll help you.”
