When Kirishima had told Bakugou they were going ice skating, he nearly broke all of the redheads bones. He had pulled the taller into the tightest hug humanly possible, making the redhead yelp out in pain. The blonde quickly apologized, excitement still extremely present in his voice. Surprisingly, the blonde enjoyed skating way more than Kirishima would have thought. He basically dragged him all the way to the rink, a huge smile on his face the whole time. This was a side of Bakugou that Kirishima had yet to see, a happy enthusiastic little blonde. Now that he was seeing it, he felt extremely special. This Bakugou was the completely different from the Bakugou everyone else knew. The happy, pleasant blonde was currently staring back at him, a huge smile on his face. It was incredible.

When they arrived at the rink, they both got their skates, tying them as quickly as possible. Bakugou was the first on the ice, gliding effortlessly around on the ice. Kirishima was soon joining him. The redhead was a little unbalanced, but he soon got used to it. It was hard for him to keep up with Bakugou, but he was trying his hardest. Watching Bakugou skate around, a huge smile on his face, was worth it.

"Oi Eijirou! Come 'ere, lemme help you!" Bakugou skated over to him, putting both his hands out for the redhead. Kirishima smiled, taking Bakugou's hands in his own. The blonde began skating backwards, pulling the redhead along with him. For once, Bakugou made Kirishima blush. His cheeks were tinted pink, letting his boyfriend pull him along the ice. The blonde seemed extremely happy, pulling his boyfriend along and trying to teach him things. Kirishima smiled softly to himself, he was glad he decided to take the blonde skating. Kirishima was trying so hard to make the blonde happy. With his mom still in the hospital and finals still on their way, Bakugou was under a lot of stress. More than the redhead could even imagine. That's probably why he's trying so hard. He misses the old Bakugou. Not the angry one, the pleasantly angry Bakugou. The one who was nice, his language still a bit volgare. He misses that. He never thought he would, but he does.

"Eijirou stop thinking so much and pay attention, the ice time is over." Bakugou muttered, pieces of him happiness leaving this body. Kirishima hated watching this cycle. Bakugou's happy, smiling and laughing completely unlike himself, then falling into a depressive like state, most likely crying, and not wanting to leave his room. It was awful. Maybe over Christmas break Kirishima would have time to return the blonde to his normal state. Just maybe, with a little bit of luck and Christmas magic.

As the two took off their skates, the redhead watched his boyfriend closely. He could have sworn tears were welling in his eyes again. As soon as both of their skates were off, Kirishima took them to the counter and led Bakugou out of the rink. As they were walking, the redhead grabbed the blondes hand, squeezing it tightly. Bakugou turned to him and forced a smile, a few tears dribbling down his face.

"You'll be okay, I promise."

"I think I will be, a-as long as y-you're here w-with me."
