Chapter Text
“I’m not sure I can do it Morgan,” Spencer said in a shaky tone. He grabbed on Derek’s bicep to keep himself balanced and not fall on his face or butt. The team decided they should all go ice skating together, and this was Spencer’s first time ever trying it. To say that he was scared was an understatement as he was terrified. He had no balance on the ice and would lean forward or backward every time he tried to move.
Derek chuckled as he grabbed Spencer’s arm in a firm grip to keep him steady. “You’re doing great pretty boy, just make sure you stand up straight.” Derek was skating like it was just as easy as breathing or walking, and it made Spencer frustrated. He was always good at learning new things easily and he thought this should be a piece of cake because how hard could it be. Turns out it is pretty hard. Especially adding to the fact that Spencer is kind of uncoordinated on a good day on land.
“Stop trying to figure it out like it’s a math problem Reid,” Derek continued. Derek always knew when Spencer was trying to think too deeply into a situation. He says he makes a “face” when he does it’s “adorable” when he makes it.
“I don’t think I can do it, babe,” Spencer said while wobbling. He wasn’t very confident in himself when it came to anything to do with sports or physical activity.
“Never say never Spence. Here take my hand,” Morgan said, holding his hand out for him to grab and proceeded to help him stand up straight. “Good, now push your body forward, and don’t lean. It’s all about the way you bend your knees, but not too much, now glide forward and let the momentum build up. Start Up slow, and then continue speeding up.” Spencer did as he was told, and soon enough, he was skating. He let out a little laugh as he and Derek were skating slowly side-by-side. Soon they started picking up a little speed as Spencer became more comfortable.
“This is so much fun,” Spencer said with so much excitement. “Thank you for teaching me how to skate Morgan. This is the best thing I have ever learned.” Spencer beamed up at Derek and gave him a hug
“Anything for you pretty boy,” Derek responded before leaning over and giving him a kiss on his cold cheek, causing the younger man to blush. Derek being Derek continued planting butterfly kisses on the boys face just to see the blush on his face and hear the giggles come from the boy.
Derek eventually gave the boy a break, and they continued hugging each other while slowly skating in a small circle. “I love you so much Derek,” Spencer whispered in Morgan's rather warm chest. He wanted to stay this way forever.
“I love you too Spence, I will never stop loving you,” Derek responded wholeheartedly. Together, they slowly skated on the ice while Spencer held on to Derek and the both saying sweet nothings to each other.
