Hey you get to meet one of my OC's here :D! Also this is connected with another one-shot I did over a year ago, basically all you need to know is Jimmy is dating Scott who is an ice skater. Enjoy!

Etho's Perspective-

Etho tied on his skates and put on his helmet with a snap. He walked onto the ice and he smiled as he skated, getting ready for practice

The cold air stung his cheeks as Etho glided effortlessly across the ice.

His skates cut clean lines into the smooth surface, and the rhythmic whoosh of his movements echoed in the rink. He focused on his drills, the familiar pattern of practice grounding him.

Each maneuver, each stride, was a step closer to mastering his skills. With every lap, his confidence grew, and his smile widened, reflecting his passion for the game.

"You got here early." Noah, Etho's teammate, skated onto the ice

Etho shrugs, "Maybe by twenty minutes."

"Still." Noah hit the puck over to Etho, who quickly returned it. A couple minutes most of the rest of the team walked in along with the coach

"Afternoon boys." Coach Hanlon smiled, nodding to them.

"Hey Coach!" Noah said, scoring a goal while Etho was distracted.

Etho shot him a glare and Noah smirked.

They continued their practice drills and ended up going a bit late.

Some people started to walk in, getting set up for a figure skating show.

"Etho! Come on!" Noah shouted, not waiting for his friend who was trying to get one last lap in.

"Hang on! Just one last- " Etho went too fast around the curve and hit the puck, which flew up in the air.

Joel's Perspective-

"Jimmy, why are you dragging me here?" Joel sighed, shoving his hands in his pockets as they walked into the ice rink.

"Because Scott has a match today and I wanna support him."

"Match? Don't you just do funny poses and try and look pretty?" Joel asked.

Jimmy blushed and a puck slammed against the clear plastic that was attached to the small wall around the rink.

Joel let out a shriek and jumped back.

Jimmy burst out in laughter and Joel flushed red in embarrassment.

A couple of the figure skaters giggled and the hockey players chuckled.

"I'm so sorry, are you okay?" A hockey player asked, skating off the ice and walking over to Joel.

Joel huffed, "I'm fine."

"I didn't mean to hit it that far, I slipped when skating towards the puck." The player said, helping Joel up.

Joel frowned and stood up, dusting himself off.

Jimmy was smirking the entire time and Joel shot him a nasty glare.

Later on, the figure skating event had started and Joel was sitting next to Jimmy on the bleachers.

Joel took out his phone, not paying attention as Jimmy ranted about Scott.

"How'd you meet this dude anyway?" Joel asked, interrupting Jimmy.

"Oh uh- a couple weeks ago when I went here with Grian I saw him." Jimmy said, his cheeks dusted red.

"So why not drag Gri here?"

"Grian said he was busy with work."

"You have a sister."

"She had plans with friends."

"Scar?" Joel raised an eyebrow.

"Lizzie banned me from hanging out with him on my own cause she said she thinks we'd cause World War 3."

Joel laughed and Jimmy rolled his eyes.

"She's not wrong.." Joel muttered and Jimmy smacked his arm.

Joel chuckled and looked up, watching as a girl skated onto the ice. Scott was supposed to be next, and he looked a bit nervous.

Jimmy smiled and waved. Scott made eye contact with his boyfriend and waved back, winking.

Jimmy blushed and Joel chuckled, rolling his eyes.

"You're such a simp, you know?" Joel asked and Jimmy huffed, sticking out his tongue.

Joel glanced at his watch and sighed.

"I'm gonna go get a snack, want something?"

Jimmy shook his head, not taking his eyes off Scott, who was about to get on after the girl's score was announced.

Joel chuckled and walked over to the other room where they sold skates and snacks. While waiting in line, the door to the rink next door opened and a couple hockey players walked out.

Joel glanced over and saw the guy from earlier.

"Oh- hi." The guy said, his white hair tied into a messy bun.

Joel muttered a greeting, still embarrassed.

The guy hesitated before standing in line next to Joel.

Joel raised an eyebrow, "What the heck are you doing?"

"I'm gonna get you something. It's the least I can do after embarrassing you like that."

Joel rolled his eyes and looked away.

It was their turn and he got a bag of popcorn. The guy paid for it and they walked into the ice rink where Scott was performing his routine.

"Well...sorry again." The guy said, looking down at Joel.

Joel glanced up at him and the guy smiled.

Joel sighs, "..thanks for the food."

The guy looked happy that he was forgiven and held out his hand.

"I'm Etho by the way."

"I'm Joel." They shook hands and Etho pulled away, smiling.

"I hope we run into each other again. And I'll try not to scare you next time." Etho chuckles and Joel rolled his eyes.

Etho left and Joel sat back down next to Jimmy, who was smirking.

"What?" Joel asked.

"Seems like I'm not gonna be going back to the ice rink alone anymore."
