Charles' POV

Eric and I got out of the car and walked hand in hand into the ice rink. It was surprisingly quiet so we managed to get our skates on straight away. Eric had to hold me as we walked to the ice rink as I was wobbling all over the place.

Eric stepped onto the ice rink then held out his hand. Nervously I grabbed his hand before stepping onto the ice. It took me a moment to regain my balance before I let go of Eric's hand and tried to skate.

I laughed as Eric span around gracefully, he weaved in and out of everyone before returning to my side.

"Wow you're an amazing skater Eric." I grinned.

"Thanks love." Eric responded, kissing my cheek.

Suddenly I slipped and grabbed Eric to try and steady myself. He placed his hands on my back to stop my from falling "careful love." He whispered.

I grabbed his hand and smiled.

"Skate with me?" I asked.

"Of course my love." Eric smiled.

We slowly skated around the ice rink - Eric occasionally wrapping his arm around my waist to stop me from falling over.

"How was your day today?" I asked.

"It was very well thank you Charles, how was your day?" Eric smiled.

"It was good, I did a lot of reading." I grinned.

"Sounds fun," Eric murmured as he pressed a kiss to my head.

Eric span me around then kissedy lips gently, I melted into the kiss as I wrapped my arms around his waist to stop myself from slipping over.

"Did you have fun Charles?" He asked, smiling fondly at me.

I nodded enthusiastically "yes I did, did you have fun Eric?"

"If course I did, I got to spend time with you after all."

He is the sweetest man ever. After we had gotten off the ice rink, I wrapped my arms around him tightly and sighed "I love you Eric."

"I love you too Charles." He smiled as he gently stroked my hair.
