Adriel finished tying Rochelle's skates and smiled watching as Rhys took her hand and lead her to the ice. "He might want to be an older brother, but he really wants a partner in crime. You didn't see that wink?" he asked as he sat down to secure his own skates.
Once he got them on, he stood up tentatively. He nodded, "this doesn't feel so bad." He offered his hand to Jesse, "ready to make fools of ourselves?"

Jesse hummed a replied and watched their kids running off with a soft smile on his face, eventually shaking his head, "No, I must have missed it. Those rascals."
He got up and tested his own skates and nodded, laughing a bit as he wobbled even just to Adrien's side. "I guess it's inevitable. Hopefully it'll at least be kind of fun." He only partially joked. He hesitated for just a second before taking Adriel's hand and leading them to the ice, stepping onto it gingerly.
Rhys skated past them at a speed Jesse felt he and Adriel could only attempt to accomplish and blurted out, "Come on, dad! Hurry up!"
"You mind your business." Jesse retorted back, clinging to the wall as he tried to get his bearings on the ice.

Adriel followed Jesse out on the ice and was surprised that he didn't fall immediately. Being as large as he was, he expected to be the picture of ungraceful, but he wasn't feeling too bad. He stayed within reaching distance of the wall, but skated behind Jesse carefully.
"Is it better or worse than you expected?" he asked, glancing over to track Rochelle and Rhys with his eyes. Looking away made him lose his balance a little and he reached out to steady himself against the wall.

Jesse felt a bit shaky on the ice, but overall was feeling confident, as long as he focused a lot on the balancing part. He chuckled at Adriel almost lost his balance, only to have to reach out to the wall himself a moment later. "I haven't actually fallen yet." He began, his voice starting off shaky. "So I guess better. Though I didn't expect our kids to uh... Be so good." He watched their kids at this point doing very basic tricks with each other, such as small hops or skating backwards for a couple seconds. As they passed the two of them, Jesse called out, "be careful of others around you." To which he got a thumbs up from his son to show he had heard. "What is it about kids that they learn new things so quickly? Is it their height? Is that why they're so much better than us?" He muttered.

Adriel laughed at himself a bit before letting go of the wall again, feeling more stable so long as he didn't look around too much. "Rochelle has been coming here for some lessons, so I know she's pretty comfortable on the ice, I just never thought to join her... Fear of falling and squashing a kid."
He tentatively skated further from the wall, so he could be next to Jesse, "I don't know about the height thing. I think it's because they're young and fearless. We adults think through all the bad that could happen, they just think about the potential fun.." he rambled.
"Sorry, I probably didn't need to get all pensive like that," he said, stumbling a little and reaching out for Jesse's hand to catch himself.

Jesse chuckled softly at Adriel's comment about squishing kids. He considered Adriel's theory and nodded, "Hmm, no it's fine, that makes sense." He replied. He was about to say something else when Adriel reached out for him. He took Adriel's hand as the other man seemed to stumble, but it just made him unbalanced and he fell onto the ice. "Ow..." He grumbled. Nothing hurt really, besides the fall itself, and so he was glad it wasn't worse, but it was also still embarrassing.

Adriel had nearly regained his balance when Jesse fell and down he went right next to him. He laughed, "this is pretty much where I thought I'd end up. Are you okay?"
Adriel scooted over towards the wall and used it to help himself stand up, then he reached down for Jesse, "sorry for making you fall, need help up?"
Rochelle skated by and stuck her tongue out at her dad. In the past she would have laughed at him, but they'd had too many conversations about people's feelings so she'd broken herself of that habit.
Adriel stuck his tongue out back.

Jesse took Adriel's offered hand and got back up to his feet. He made sure he was stable before brushing himself off and shaking his head at Adriel, smiling up at him. "It's fine. Neither of us are very good at this, I suppose." He about to say more when Hayako finally wiped out, coming to a stop at their feet. Jesse raised an eyebrow. "You skidded a long ways, you alright, buddy?"
Hayako examined his hands and legs and nodded, "Cause of the gloves and stuff, it didn't hurt!" He said, climbing back up to his feet and calling after Rochelle, "Hey wait up!"

Adriel smiled, "luckily we don't have to be good at something to get enjoyment from it." He watched as Hayako skidded to a stop at their feet. He was impressed how calm Jesse kept himself. In the past, Adriel had definitely played into Rochelle's pain and got her overexcited.
"See, fearless," he said. "Meanwhile, I'm just thinking that my thighs will probably be sore from the skating and at least one muslce will hurt from that fall." he laughed.
He laced his fingers with Jesse's, "ready to try again?"

Jesse returned Adriel's smile, "Indeed." He agreed.
He chuckled softly at the taller man's comment about the kids being fearless, and then laughed a bit louder at Adriel's further comment. "You're probably right about that. Kids seem so injury-proof, how is it once bodies get past a certain age they just... can't bounce back anymore?" He asked, motioning to his son. He knew the answer, he was more just complaining.
He lowered his head in attempt to hide the blush at their fingers lacing together and gave Adriel a nod.

"Yeah, no bouncing back from that fall," Adriel chuckled. He brushed a hand lightly against Jesse's cheek, "you're cute when you blush," he said, retracting his hand and trying to guide them in their skating.
He was happy for is darker complexion otherwise Jesse would be able to see his blush too. He watched the kids skating by, making faces every pass. "I don't know if that's Rochelle's doing or Hayako's," he said. This time when they passed, he made is own silly face, scrunching up his nose, crossing his eyes and sticking his tongue out. Rochelle burst into a fit of giggles and slid gracelessly into the wall.
"Oops," Adriel said, making his way over to her, "you okay?"
Rochelle pushed herself away from the wall with a big grin on her face, "you looked so silly, daddy." She giggled.
Adriel made the face again and couldn't help but smile at her peel of laughter. "Do I look that funny?" he asked, making the face again and turning to show Jesse and Hayako.

Jesse lowered his head again, liking the touch but shying away. The compliment was nice but he was unsure how to respond. Luckily, he didn't have to think of something to say back, as Rochelle fell and their attentions were diverted. He followed his son over to where Rochelle and Adriel were, putting a hand on Hayako's shoulder. "Probably both of them." He responded to Adriel's question.
He chuckled a bit when Adriel showed the funny face he had made. "Well, when you make funny faces, you'll of course look funny..." He teased playfully. Hayako laughed at the face but didn't respond. Jesse looked at him, then back to Adriel, "I guess the kids find it hilarious." He joked. He patted Hayako on the back lightly, "you two go back to playing. Be careful." He told them, looking to both the kids when he uttered the last part.
As Hayako pulled Rochelle away from them, Jesse hesitated a moment before taking Adriel's hand in his again, muttering something about his hand being cold now. "At this rate, we might only get through one round before we decide it's time for a break and hot chocolate..."

Adriel grinned, "good to know my face is funny, i can work with that." He stood up as Hayako took off with Rochelle and hid a smile when Jesse reclaimed his hand.
"It is cold," he muttered in response, not wanting to call Jesse out on the excuse but still wanting to acknowledge he'd heard it. "Yeah, we will probably be done after the lap. I don't think I realized until I bent down to check on Rochelle, but my thighs are on fire."

Jesse chuckled at Adriel's last comment. "Yeah, I think you're right. If I don't stop after this lap, I'll probably have a hard time getting up tomorrow..." He looked at how far they had to go until they got all the way around, realizing they were still a little under halfway, and he was unsure how to feel about that. He was starting to feel a little more balanced on his feet though finally. "This may be stupid, but I think I'm ready to not hover over the wall." He told Adriel. "Maybe even try to get more than 3 feet before falling."

Adriel nodded, "if we go down, we can go down together!" he exclaimed as he let go of the wall. Once away from the wall he actually felt a lot more confident. "Hey, this might not be so bad."
He wondered if the wall might have actually been hindering him, one of those mind over matter things. "Rochelle takes skating lesson here, but I was never brave enough to take to the ice," he squeezed Jesse's hand, "thanks for giving me the courage to try it out."
He looked down as he felt a small hand tuck into his own, Hayako had settled in next to Adriel and Rochelle took Jesse's other hand. "Oh they definitely planned this," he muttered to himself with a small smile.
