Here you go love! I am so so sorry it has been a while since you asked, loads suddenly happened :P I hope it was worth the wait!

"Pavel it is too cold to be outside."

"Nonsense! I am only wearing one coat!"

You roll your eyes as you shifted from foot to foot, rubbing your hands together while blowing warm air into them. You are on shore leave on a planet very similar to the terrain and weather of Russia. Chekov was more than excited to hear that they were landing for a while. There was a village nearby what looked like a steampunk version of Little House on the Prairie. There Chekov bought the two of you some ice skates and headed to a medium sized pond that had frozen over and already had a few occupants gliding across the surface.

"That's nice Pavel, but I would like to keep my fingers and toes warm and connected to my body." You looked over at him and let your shoulders slump at the puppy eyed expression he was giving you. "Fine. Just don't look at me that way. I am too cold to truly argue with you." You lift one corner of your mouth so you didn't sound too harsh.

Chekov smiled and leaned down to place a great full kiss on the top of your head. "You won't regret it. Well maybe at first, but not afterwards." He hands you your leather bound blades as he sat on a fallen tree to tie his own on.

You sit down close to him and stiffly put on your own. As you made yourself busy with your skates, you didn't notice Pavel looking at you, a small smile pulling at his lips. Your hair fell in front of your face just enough where only the tip of your nose and chin were visible. It was your nose that drew him in first.

You were both working in the engine room a couple months back when he turned around to ask for your assistance but was distracted by a smudge of dirt on your nose. You had told him of dirt on his face before so he felt no hesitation in tapping your nose lightly and smiling. You rush to rub it off but he beat you to it. To do so he had to step closer, causing you to giggle. That was when you had your first kiss and three weeks later that is how he asked you to be his girlfriend, by purposefully putting dirt on your nose so he could get closer. Chekov always loved the way your nose would scrunch up when he kissed you or when you found something silently funny. Right now, though, your face remained blank and your nose turned up slightly.

He leaned over and kissed the exposed tip of your nose, causing you to let out a squeak of surprise as you jumped slightly. "Don't look so upset. This is supposed to be fun! I promise to not let you slip." He stood and pulled you with him, placing one hand on your back supporting you as you both hobbled over to the ice.

"You know, when I said I had done this before, I lied. I thought you were going to pick something else when you offered the idea." You look over at him apologetically, but you found he was smiling wide.

"AH! Then this is a perfect time for me to teach you! Relationships grow stronger once you both go through something together, right?" Pavel stepped off the snow covered pathway and onto the think frozen pond, turning and offering you his hands for support.

You look at him skeptically as you tentatively reached out to grasp his wool-covered hands. "Sure, but I was hoping for something more engineering related." You take a slow step forward and let out a breath as your skate made contact with the ice.

"I'll be sure to ask the Keptin if he needs anything requiring two people that needs fixing." He smiled in encouragement as you leaned on him to place your other foot on the ice.

You held your breath for a moment as you both stood still, making sure you wouldn't fall. Your eyebrows raised in surprise and you looked up at your Russian with a big smile.

"Huh, so I guess it's not too bad."

A slight gust of wind hit your face and you took a sharp intake of breath causing you to wobble on your feet. Blinking in surprise and holding on to Pavel with all your strength, you closed your eyes tight ready to hit the cold hard ice. But your boyfriend did a good job holding you up and close.

"I spoke too soon." Your eyes were wide and you looked down at your splayed feet.

"Nonsense! Come, you will get it in no time."

With that Pavel turned to face you and proceeded to skate BACKWARDS as he held your hands to tug you forwards gently. You let out a worried moan but let Pavel pull you slowly across the ice. You looked down at your feet and watched as it cut at the cold surface, memorized by the sound and the feel of the blades gliding across. You looked back up and into the warm eyes of Pavel and smiled nervously.

"See? You are doing just fine. Now, I am going to let go of one hand." Your eyes widen and you tighten your grip on his hand slowly pulling away. "Don't worry! Just push off with one foot as you balance slightly on the other. I will be right by your side the whole time." He chuckled as he got his hand completely freed.

You wobble and let out a shriek of fear but soon regained your footing. You did just as he said, pushing off with one foot, balancing on the other. You switched feet but stumbled, right into Pavel's arms.

Chekov let out a deep chuckle and pushed a few hairs out of your face. "Good! Just make sure to keep your knees slightly bent and your ankles sure and strong. Your body will naturally figure out the rest. Though I do enjoy watching you struggle." He smiles again and winks then kisses your nose lightly.

"Of course, you do. I am so going to pick the next activity next shore leave. Somewhere warm, with moving water and surfboards." You playfully roll your eyes as you lightly swat his arm as his face blanched.

Chekov pulled away and before you fully noticed it, he had detached himself from you completely, watching as you skillfully pushed yourself across the pond. He smiled and shook his head, knowing all along that you would be able to do it yourself.

You look to your side to tell Pavel that you felt pretty confident to do it on your own when you noticed he was nowhere to be seen. "PAVEL! Where in the name of Oden are you?!" You turned your head every which way in hopes of spotting him.

Suddenly you felt wet, cold gloves cover your eyes and you smirked. Turning on the ice as best as you could you pushed him, hard. But you weren't ready to go down with him. He grabbed your arms and let out an 'ooof!' as you landed on him, your giggling mixing in with his deep laughs. You lay there on his chest looking down at him as he lay on the cold ice looking up at you, your hair shielding the both of you from on lookers. He looks at your lips then your nose and smirked.

"You have something," he reached up and tapped your nose with a snow covered clove, "just there."

You scrunch your nose and wipe it, snow coming away on your glove. "And I wonder how that happened?" You giggle as you rolled your eyes.

"How should I know?" He replies as he reached his hand behind your head, gently pulling you closer. Warm lips sent a shock through your cold acclimated body, but you smiled into the kiss. He pulled you closer as you leaned into him further, loving the warmth he was giving off. A few claps and whistles could be heard around the solid pond and you both pulled away blushing.

"I am never going to get sick of that trick of yours." You whisper as you kiss him on his nose.

"I am never going to get sick of using it." Pavel winks as he kissed your nose as well.

Standing up gingerly, Chekov took your hand and together you glided across the pond until your feet hurt. Back on the ship, he massaged your feet as you drank hot cocoa, doing your best not to fall asleep. But when you did, you were right next to his warm body, a smile plastered on your face as you formed an endearing attachment to ice skating.
