Jared laughed, and slipped a little. He yelped, wobbling and grabbing onto Victor's arm again to keep from falling.
Jared laughed, and slipped a little. He yelped, wobbling and grabbing onto Victor's arm again to keep from falling.
Victor grabbed him, supporting him gently. "Are you okay?" He asks softly, gazing at him in concern.
Jared nodded, looking at him with a small smile. "I'm fine. Just lost my balance." he replied, shaking his head a little bit.
"Are you sure?" He asks and smiles a little bit before helping the other up. "You're doing great."
Jared nodded, standing carefully and getting his balance. "Thanks. I'm…I'm fine." he smiled. "Thanks."
Victor nods before smiling. "So. Where to now?" He giggles softly. "Do you want to keep working on your skating or go see a movie?"
Jared smiled. "I uhm…I don't know." He replied with a shrug.
Victor shrugged. "Well, whatever you want to do, we can do it." He smiled a bit.
Jared smiled a little. "Alright. We can skate for a bit more, then go to the theater?" He suggested, looking at Victor.
Victor nods and smiles. "Sure thing!" He chuckles before skating beside Jared again. He glances at the other, a little smile gracing his lips.
Jared stretched a little, and nodded, smiling back. "Alright." he was genuinely enjoying this. He really was, and he was grateful to Victor for making all this effort. Showing him places.
He smiled at the other before looking around. "Alright." He echoes back ad laughs softly. "What do you think of ice skating?" He asks curiously.
He thought for a long moment, then shrugged. "I don't know." he replied slowly. "It's fun." he shrugged again. "I mean, it might be more fun if I was better at it."
"You're good at it for someone who's been only skating for a half hour." he chuckles quietly and runs a hand through his hair.
"Thank you. But it's still only half an hour." he replied with a soft laugh. He sighed softly.
Victor shrugged. "The first time I started skating I couldn't get my ass off the ice." He laughs at the memory.
Jared laughed. "Really?" he asked, grinning. "That's hilarious."
Victor laughed. "Yep. I had so many bruises." He chuckled and shook his head. "Couldn't get out of bed for a good few days."
Jared laughed again. "Mm. Glad that's not me. The press would certainly be all over me if I couldn't get out of bed and there was a strange man at my house. You don't even want to know what the headlines would be." his eyes went wide and unfocused for a moment, and he made a face, shaking his head.
Victor chuckled at that. "I've stayed as far away as I could from the paparazzi." He sighed. "But it's something interesting for sure. And… Yes. The titles would be a little… Concerning."
Jared chuckled a little. "Yeah." he shook his head a little. "The one time I did have…a steady relationship…" he shook his head again, then realized what he was inadvertently insinuating. He blinked. "Not that you…I… oh fuck." He laughed softly. "Please don't take any of this…the wrong way."
Victor listened quietly before cracking a smile when he became flustered. "No, no. It's fine. Please. Continue." He says softly, his eyes gentle and curious.
"Alright. The one time I did have a steady relationship…" Jared shrugged. "Boyfriend couldn't handle the constant pressure from the press." he shrugged again, looking around the rink. "And then the whole…kidnapping shit went down."
"A significant other should be able to take care of pressures, no matter what they may be. Unless of course it's to a mental break down kind of point." He says softly. He skates beside the other. "Press or not. My job is to remain by your side." He says gently, turning to face him.
Jared shrugged. "The press is a lot to handle if you aren't used to it." He replied carefully. He glanced at Victor, and nodded. "I know. Though I still wish my mom had warned me so I wouldn't have opened the door without pants on." He chuckled.
Victor laughed at that. "I don't know, you've got some pretty impressive thighs." He laughs before glancing at the other. "I'm teasing of course." He says happily.
Jared turned red, almost the same shade as his hair, his eyes widening. "I-I…" He spluttered for a moment, mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.
Victor smiled a little. "Teasing, teasing." He laughs softly before shaking his head. "Cat got your tongue?" He purrs, before smiling genuinely. "But I am being honest."
Jared wrinkled his nose. "Are you teasing or being honest? Because you've said you're both." He replied slowly, still blushing.
"Can I not tease and be honest?" He laughs as he skates next to Jared and offers a little bit of a smile. "Or is that… out of my place?" He asks curiously.
