"lou, baby, wake up," harry murmured against louis' neck, gently pressing kisses there until he moved to pepper them on his face.

"no," louis whined but kept his grip around the man, pouting.

"c'mon, i made us food, and we're going out tonight so i need you to be awake."

louis peeked up at him with one eye, then pulled him down on top of him. harry grunted but laid on him nonetheless, tucking his head in his neck.

"my sleepy baby," harry crooned, kissing his jaw. "you're so cute."

"nuh uh. i'm manly," he twirled a strand of harry's hair with his finger.

"my cute manly boyfriend," harry corrected himself.

"there you go."

"are you fucking kidding me right now, harold? ice skating? i can't even walk straight in my vans!"

harry snorted and wrapped an arm around louis' waist. "it's not hard! come on, little one, it's so fun. we can go in circles and i'll even twirl for you."

"i'd be honored to watch that," louis turned to look at him with a cheeky grin. "how much is it to get in?" he reached for his wallet, only for harry to grab his wrist and stop him.

"nothin' for you, handsome," he hummed. "if you wanna buy your own souvenier, you can, but i'm paying for us to get in."

"butthead," louis huffed and watched harry grab a twenty from his wallet.

louis was puzzled that the price was only for one skater, so he looked up at harry oddly when the man got a bracelet and not himself.

"kids skate free," the employee said.

louis' lips parted but he couldn't speak. he wasn't sure to be embarrassed, awkward or mad.

"um, i'm eighteen," louis blushed. "quite an adult."

the employee snorted. "and i'm oprah. just go, kid."

harry grabbed his still shocked boyfriend's hand, leading him to the gates once louis got a bracelet.

"oh my god, harry! did you really just hear that? i'm a kid. eighteen years old and i get mistaken for a ten year old. what the hell-"

harry stopped and dipped down, locking his lips with louis'. louis shut up quickly and grasped the sleeves of the man's coat.

"you ramble alot," harry murmured against his mouth.

"i'm not a kid," louis defended.

"mm, take it as a compliment. you look young for your age, you'll age well."

louis narrowed his eyes at the man. "i'll cut you with my skates."

"you wouldn't," harry kissed him again. "now come on, let's get you in the rink."

louis followed him around like a lost puppy and clutched his hand tight. harry showed off their bracelets so that they could get to the rink and got their skates, helping louis tie them and get in the arena.

"i'm gonna fall, i'm gonna fall, harry i'm gonna fall!" louis shrieked, face turning red in embarassment.

"just hold my hand," harry assured and reached out. louis nervously grabbed it and squeaked when harry began skating with no problem. louis struggled to remain calm and kept saying "oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck," but harry suddenly turned and grabbed louis by his waist, gliding them around.

louis screeched and laughed as harry began pushing them around, slowly moving his legs along with the man's so that it wouldn't be just harry pushing him. once louis relaxed a bit, harry slowly let go of him and moved to skate in front of him.

"why did you let me go, you wanker?" louis whined and groaned when he collapsed into the wall. he fell on the ice, whining at the sudden pain and leaned against it for guidance.

"for that," his boyfriend teased. harry helped him up and helped him skate around again, showing him easy ways to stay balanced and just roam.

louis' eyes lit up when a song he liked began to play. it was an oldie, but for some reason skating around an ice rink while fleetwood mac blared in the stereo speakers made him happy. rhiannon was the title, and harry immediately began to sing along once he heard it play.

"you listen to fleetwood mac?" louis asked as they circled around.

"saw them live when i was seventeen," harry replied and began to skate backwards. louis pouted at his movements but carefully followed after him once he realized he needed to be able to skate on his own to catch up with him.

"come on, little one!" harry smiled. "it's okay, i promise!"

louis nervously bit his lip before shoving his hands in his pockets and letting his feet take over. the january wind blew roughly against his face but he was having fun. he had never been ice skating before so this was definitely new.

"harold! look, i'm doing it!" louis yelled happily, skating up to the lad. "i'm skating!"

"see? i told you!" harry smiled and slowed down, gripping the wall when he made a full stop.

louis made a "wee!" noise as he flew by harry, but ended up crashing into the wall again because he lost his balance. harry snorted and made his way over to him, pulling him back up and holding him by his hips to balance them.

"you're so tall," louis joked.

"you're just short," harry shrugged and pulled him in for a hug. louis smiled softly and rested his head on harry's chest, hooking his fingers in his belt loops.

harry's eyes lit up when he heard the arena monitor say that couples could skate for a song or two and took louis' hand, starting out by just going straight. louis held into his hand for dear life and giggled as harry's scarf blew onto the bottom half of his face, covering his mouth when he was trying to serenade his boy in song.

"poor harold," louis teased and grabbed the scarf. harry blushed and kissed the back of louis' hand, moving to twirl under louis' arm. louis squeaked, afraid of falling, and harry readjusted himself by skating back-to-chest with his boyfriend.

"you make this look so freaking easy," louis complained and harry laughed, throwing his arms up in the air.

"this is the greatest day of my life!" he yelled, causing louis to shake his head fondly.

"i'm pretty sure meeting me was the greatest day of your life," he teased.

"oh, yes," harry turned to grab louis' hands. "and the day we first kissed, and when you said you would be mine, i have alot of greatest days," he shrugged. "and this night would be even better if you would scream britney spears' lyrics at the top of your lungs with me."

"jesus fucking christ," louis laughed.

harry's eyebrows rose up and he tilted his head to the side. "p'ease?"

louis pursed his lips and huffed. "fine! what song?"

harry let go of louis' hands and made his way across the floor, perching himself up against the wall as he requested a song. louis skated around him, spinning around and slipped onto the floor with a groan.

"fucking skaters, this is ridiculous," he grumbled to himself.

"ah, it gets easier, my love," harry pulled him up and spun him around.

louis chuckled and let out a (playful) groan as the desired britney spears song began to blare through the speakers. he didn't expect a person like harry to jam out to old school britney, but it was hilarious watching the man skate to hit me baby one more time. louis had to hold back his laughter as his boyfriend spun around belting the lyrics.

"my loneliness is killing me," harry put his hand on his chest.

"but you aren't lonely, wanker."

"i must confess, i still believe-"

"I STILL BELIEVE!" louis shrieked, causing some skaters to look his way and harry dipped down to kiss his cheek before taking off. louis followed with a small giggle, grabbing onto harry's belt loops when he made it to him.

"you're so cute," louis beamed, feeling harry turn around.

"mm, maybe," the man shrugged. louis grinned and harry pulled him towards the entrance of the rink, taking his skates off.

"are we done?" louis asked.

"no, but you're freezing, thought maybe you'd like some cocoa or something to warm up," harry murmured and pressed his lips to louis' forehead.

"you're too sweet, harold," louis slipped his cold hands up harry's coat, making the man arch his back and whimper.

"fuck. you're like an ice cube, baby," he pouted and sat next to him. "don't get sick on me."

"i won't," louis leaned against him and tossed his legs over his thighs.

"i'm having alot of fun," the green eyed lad said and wrapped an arm around louis' shoulders.

"i am too, thank you for bringing me here," louis smiled softly.

"even though you got in with a kids pass?"

"fuck yeah, that was the highlight of my year."
