Chapter Text
I walked outside of the house to see my boyfriend Darby skating on the ramp he had built for himself in our backyard. I smiled to myself as he did a little trick, I think it's called a kickflip. "Darby! Are you going to come inside for lunch? I made grilled cheeses!" He looked up from his skateboard and smiled. "Yeah, just give me a second I'll be right in!" Soo another five minutes I thought, chuckling to myself. I was right, as he didn't come inside until a few more minutes had passed. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me, kissing the top of my head. He was significantly taller than me by a good six inches. "Hi, beautiful. Thank you for making lunch." I smiled as I handed him his plate, and we both sat at the table and began to eat and just talk, catching up on what he had been up to for work. Darby is a professional wrestler and travels frequently for his job and is home as much as he can be.
As we both finished our food, I grabbed our plates and put them in the sink, deciding to wash them later. "Hey babe?" I asked, looking over at him, leaning back against the counter. "Hmm?" I smiled and pointed to his skateboard. "Do you think, you know, maybe you could teach me how to skate? I know I'd probably just fall on my ass but I'd still like to try." He smiled before chuckling softly. "First of all, you'd never fall on your ass because I'd catch you no matter how many times you fall, and secondly, if you really want to, I'd be happy to." I felt my heart swell with happiness after hearing the first part of his statement. I walked over to him excitedly, stood on my tiptoes, and kissed him. "God damn, you're adorable, baby girl. Now come on outside, you've got a skating lesson to attend."
Darby grabbed his board, and we went outside. "Okay, first thing first, get on the board." I looked at him and playfully rolled my eyes. "No way, really?" He laughed and smiled, "Fucking little smart ass." I pretended to be offended and put one hand on my hip. "Excuse you, I am not little." He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? Last time I checked you can't reach the top shelf of the kitchen cabinets without my help." Damn! He's got a point. I pouted and held out my hands and he took them in his own as I stepped onto the board. "Ok, now you're gonna push yourself forward slowly with one foot." I nodded my head and slowly started to put one foot towards the ground and I almost immediately started to get wobbly. "Relax baby, go as slow as you need to." I began to push myself forward, still holding Darby's hands tight as I was still a bit wobbly. After about two minutes, he looked at me softly, "I'm gonna let go but I'll be right here to catch you if you lose your balance." This made me nervous but I nodded my head anyway. Within a minute of him letting go of my hands I lost my balance but he caught me just like said he would. "Try again, don't give up." I smiled at his words and tried again, making it a little farther this time. We spent quite a bit of time on this and he caught me every time I'd stumble or begin to fall. "Okay baby, you're doing great! I'm going to go to the end of the driveway and I want you to skate to me. It wasn't that far of a distance from one end of our driveway to the other but I was still nervous about moving without him by my side. "Okay." We each walked over to our respective ends of the driveway and I took a deep breath as I began to push myself towards him. I started to stumble but caught myself and made it to the other side of him and I couldn't believe it. "I did it!" I yelled excitedly, getting off the board and hugging him tightly. He kissed the top of my head and we stood there for a moment just enjoying the simple show of affection. " I knew you could baby. Before you know it you'll be doing kickflips and dropping in on the ramps." We both laughed and I smiled hugging him again. "I love you, my skater boy." He lifted my head and kissed me softly. "I love you too my little skater girl."
