"Oh. All right. I guess Leo can have one. Willow didn't get you anything," Kenzie directed her last comment toward Leo.

Willow frowned at her friend. "Yeah, but I was going to offer to share my hot cocoa with him."

Leo pouted.
“Damn it, Hunter, because of you I can’t share a drink with my girlfriend,” he sulked. “I can’t believe you’re even my best friend! Honestly, the first time I found out that this guy doesn’t like hot cocoa, I didn’t talk to him for a few days.”
Hunter rolled his eyes at the memory.
“We were six. He locked himself in his room for a few hours before his mother dragged him out. She’s extremely scary. He then proceeded to avoid me for a week and a half until I gave him loads of sweets.”
Leo had a blissful look on his features like he remembered a fond memory.
“Ah, yes, I remember,” he said dreamily. “He got me dozens of chocolates. He got me so many that he got scolded by my mother and I had most of my chocolate confiscated. It was because my teeth started to decay.”
“That was an awesome moment,” Hunter added. “You should’ve seen him all sad and moody but not refusing to go against his mother.”
Leo shuddered.
“She’s terrifying,” he tried to defend himself. “You know very well how scary she can be!”
Hunter laughed.
“You remember that one time a kid pushed you down and you scraped your knees and your mother was so furious, your dad had to hold her back before she could yell at the kid’s mother?”
Leo laughed back.
“Or that time when your dad was an ass, which was nothing new, and she nearly beat him with a shoe?”
Both boys were laughing hard, clutching their sides as they remembered fond memories of Leo’s mother.
“Ah, she’s amazing,” Hunter breathed out. “I haven’t visited her in weeks.”
Leo winced.
“Oh, yeah. She’s pretty pissed about that, man. You’d better visit her soon, otherwise she’ll pull your ears again and give you another earful.”
Hunter then realized they both had started their own conversation and left out their girlfriends. Leo, too, realized his and both boys cleared their throats.
“Sorry, just reminiscing about good times,” they both said at the same time.

Willow and Kenzie exchanged an amused look, both because of the stories and the synchronization.

"Perfectly okay," Willow assured them with a smile.

Kenzie nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it's not like we don't do that all the time to you guys. And, Leo, your mother sounds amazing. I'm sure Willow is perfectly ecstatic to meet her."

Willow shot Kenzie a glare, though she was trying to hide a smile. She really was excited to meet more of Leo's family.

“She really is!” Leo exclaimed, a soft look on his features. “She would adore you, Will. My entire family would. They’re amazing.”
“I agree,” Hunter nodded. “They’re all awesome people. I’ve never felt like an outsider in their company.”
Leo rolled his eyes.
“As if you’re an outsider,” he scoffed. “My family dotes on you like there’s no tomorrow. They’ve literally adopted him as their own. They constantly ask me about him every single day.”
“Laura does treat me like I’m her son,” Hunter mused. “Which isn’t shocking, since I’m the son of her best friend. Have you told them about Willow yet, Leo?”
Leo groaned.
“I have, actually. I accidentally spilled it and now they’re teasing me relentlessly. I was hoping to kind of keep Will away for a while,” he said. “Just until they’ve calmed down a bit.”

Willow gave Leo a small smile. Yes, she was excited to meet them, but she was nervous as well. What if they ended up not liking her? What would she do then?

Kenzie noticed the look on Willow's face, one that only she would have been able to read because of how long they'd been friends, and quickly changed the subject.

"So, are we going to skate or what?" she joked, taking the last sip of her drink.

“Right, you guys should skate,” Hunter nodded, praying that they wouldn’t drag him along with them. “We’re wasting time sitting here, even though it’s fun.”

Kenzie grinned and pulled her skates on. As she was tying them, she noticed that Hunter hadn't put his on, yet.

"Do you need help or something?" she asked, tying a bow in the last skate.

Hunter raised his hands.
“Oh no, I’m good sitting right here,” he said with a shake of his head. “You guys go on ahead. I’ll watch.”

"You don't want to join us?" Kenzie questioned Hunter, carefully walking over to sit next to him on the bench. "How come?"

Leo snickered.
“Mr. Perfect here can’t skate for his life,” Leo provided, grinning cheekily. “He’s absolutely horrible at it.”
Hunter’s ears turned pink and he scoffed, trying to cover his embarrassment.
“I just never understood why I had to learn this, okay?” He grumbled. “It never seemed importa— stop laughing, Barton!”

(…Like, Clint Barton…?)

Kenzie raised her eyebrows and set her hand on Hunter's leg. "I can help you if you want," she offered quietly, giving him a gentle look. "It's really fairly simple. I'm sure you'd pick it up fast."

(Yes! 😂😂 I couldn’t think of anything else so I chose that for a while. :P)

Hunter looked away, running his fingers through his hair. He couldn’t say no to Kenzie, but the thought of skating…
Finally, he sighed.
“All right,” he said, sighing. “I’ll be holding on to you the entire time, though.”

(XD Lol. Why just a while? I think it fits him well! ;P)

"As if I'd be opposed to that," Kenzie scoffed quietly, grinning at Hunter. "C'mon, now. Put your skates on so we can go!"

(Really? So Leo Barton it is! ;P)

Hunter obliged, putting on his skates before standing up slowly, wobbling on his feet. He bit his lip in concentration before reaching out to grab Kenzie’s arm for support.
“If I fall and break something, I’m blaming you,” he muttered.

(Do you want to skip?)

(Sure. When were you thinking of skipping to?)

"If you fall, you'll end up taking me with you!" Kenzie laughed as she helped him onto the ice. "Now, this is simple, like I said before. Just put one foot in front of the other and push off to the side."

(The end of the date?)

(Sounds good.)

Hunter flopped back on the seat, exhausted. He’d fallen straight on his bum multiple times, but he soon got a hang of it.
“That,” Hunter panted. “Was exhausting. My butt hurts. I’m hurt all over.”
Leo snickered.
“I got it all on tape, by the way,” he said, making Hunter shoot him a furious glare.

Kenzie smiled as she sat next to Hunter and started to untie her skates. "Hey, at least someone–" She shot Willow a withering look. "–didn't make you show off in front of a bunch of people. And then fall on your butt."

"Hey, you were doing great until you got distracted. What was with that, by the way?" Willow asked, sitting across from them.

"It was nothing," Kenzie mumbled, staring down at her skates again in order to hide the blush creeping its way to her cheeks. In reality, she had simply seen Hunter watching her, and it had made her a little nervous. She had wanted to be able to show him what she could do, but she didn't want to mess up. In an attempt not to do so, she had tried a little too hard and ended up doing the exact thing she had wanted to avoid.

Hunter looked at Kenzie’s blush with an unknown expression on his face. He was mesmerized by her movements in the ring, with the way she skated. She looked beautiful and he had been enchanted. When she fell, Hunter had been extremely worried that she had hurt herself. He was very pleased to know that she hadn’t.
He realized he had been staring at Kenzie for a long time, before he shrugged and dropped his head on her lap.
“I’m tired and you’re going to be my pillow,” he declared, staring at her. “What’s next on our agenda, by the way?”

Kenzie smiled down at Hunter. "I don't know about you, but I'm going back to my apartment to take a nice, hot shower. I'm done with the cold for today," she declared, bending down to press a light kiss to his nose.

Hunter closed his eyes when he felt Kenzie’s lips on his nose before he opened them again, staring at Kenzie with an affectionate look in his eyes. God, how much he loved that woman. He couldn’t even imagine life without her.
“Mind if I joined you?” He murmured, a calm and innocent look on his face despite the question.

Kenzie flushed deeply. "If we're wearing swimsuits," she managed to choke out, not meeting his eyes.

“Now where’s the fun in that?”
Hunter tried his hardest to fight off the laughter that was threatening to spill. Oh how much he adored this woman. He loved teasing her, but sometimes he wondered if he would go too far with his jokes. He just wanted Kenzie to tell him whether she felt uncomfortable with him joking like this or not. That, and because he just loved teasing her.

Hadn't she told him about the promise she had made herself? Or…No. No, that was a dream. She'd told him in a dream… Darn it.

How did one even go about saying something like that? How would that conversation get started?

Kenzie sighed and leaned back in the bench, running her fingers through Hunter's hair. "I do want to talk to you about something… But how about I take my shower and you can come over or something? Or I can go to your place. Or whatever," she suggested quietly.

Hunter frowned.
“Er, whatever’s fine with you,” he said slowly, wondering if he went too far with his teasing. “But I guess your place works. It’s nearer, right?”

"Yeah. Do you want to go now?" Kenzie asked, finally looking back down at him. "We could go return our skates and head over."

Hunter shrugged.
“Honestly I’m fine with whatever you decide,” he replied. “Personally I’m beat, but if you want to skate a bit more, I’ll be happy to watch you do so.”

Kenzie shook her head. "No, I'm pretty exhausted as well. I think we should go now; that way I can shower and we can talk sooner."

(Last post for the night! ;P)
