the one at the ice skating rink

[ S2 0.2 ]

" know, I have absolutely no clue how to skate, right?"

Stiles merely laughed at Eleanor's statement and pulled her to her feet, abandoning the benches they were previously sitting on as they made their way toward the rink, where Allison, Scott, Jaden and Lydia were.

"Then let me teach you."

The sentence made her heart flutter, and although they were now, sort of, together, Eleanor still couldn't rid the butterflies from forming in her stomach. She was completely and utterly whipped.

Stiles was the first to step onto the ice, his feet steady and firm as Eleanor looked at him, and then at the ground, not the least bit comforted and completely nervous that she would embarrass herself. She pulled down at the sleeves of Stiles' bright orange sweater, that he had offered her minutes before hand, and bit her lip.

He held out his hands for her to grab, and she did exactly so, bracing herself for complete humiliation as she let one foot step onto the ice. She seemed steady, and confident as she hadn't slipped, and allowed herself to let her other foot come in contact with the ice, feeling as though she would be fine. After all, what could go wrong.

The answer? Just about everything. As soon as he second foot hit the slippery substance, she squealed and flailed her arms as her legs gave way beneath her. Her hands pressed against Stiles' chest, her head under his chin as his arms grabbed at her waist, trying to keep her from falling to the icy floor. For a moment, he just let her breathe heavily, knowing that she must have been terrified for a second.

Then, he began laughing. The whole situation was hilarious, and he couldn't help but let several chuckles slip from his mouth as she huffed and pouted, having no choice but to keep clinging to him as he moved them further into the middle of the rink.

"I really hate you." Stiles shook his head, along with a few laughs coming from Jaden and Scott as they knew better than anyone that Eleanor could never hate Stiles.

"No you don't, babe." And that was that.
