her bright icy eyes look down, ironically seeing ice. and a tiger. she would be more scared than she is, if it wasn't for scott. and his oh too cheery attitude. she wonders for a moment, and theorizes, that if it was her the one who prompted this. but she stops the thought dead on it's tracks again.
his laugh is annoying, infectious, in a way most things are with him. he speaks and she looks at him. such a test of trust. and she feels like she shouldn't trust him. not his words, not his actions. but they are past that. so beyond that. "you better." she warns. gently. with spikes, thorns do adorn the rose.
and his fake annoyance, oh she can see right through it. makes her smile. inky black adorning her lips as she does. "-is that an invitation to an out of school event? i'm not too terribly busy, might take you up on that." like he isn't worried to be seen with her. like most people are.
heather is rarely scared but even though she is, she can feel it be overpowered by the joy just eminating from scott. he was in his element, and she not so much. but it was addicting, to say the least...he simply was so cheery, and she could sense something else beneath it all. but she knew better now, to ignore it. to avoid it and not pay any mind to it.
and not to be so stereotypical, but heather would die than wear pink. hot pink. she makes a face, disgust momentarily taking over her features. "ew." comments on it, sticks out her tongue for good measure. she seems to have her footing, and recognizes the distance that he's pulled her now. it's still all a bit...nervewracking to say the least. "-oh now you got me all curious. i'd want to see what you wear to your night job." she smiles, slyly. scott tends to make her forget, makes her feel safe. even in the middle of an ice ring. curious.

β β β Skating was easy for Scott, he was good at it, and what was even better was that he loved it. When his skates hit the ice, it was quieter; normally he loved the noise; his family was louder than a pep rally, but the hush that fell over everything when he skated washed him in something calmer ( bubbling excitement still fizzed under his skin, but he was pretty certain that was because of her, not the ice ). He grinned and felt Heather's slightly smaller hands under his padded, gloved ones.
' Could be worse, the Indiana Icicles wear hot pink, ' Scott beamed, agreeing with her and himself. As much as he didn't care about it, he knew that Heather would prefer their black and white. Personally, Scott knew she would look lovely in anything, but she had her style and he admired it. Broad shoulder lifted and then fell, shrugging nonchalantly as he pulled them back a little further, testing to see whether she had her footing. The hockey player laughed, ' hey, you should see what I wear to my night job. '

heather is clearly not the athletic type, she doesn't try and act like she might be anything else. thinks for a second that scott isn't sly and that being taught how to ice skate would bring her along, involved so much hand holding and what not. she doesn't want to admit that the cheering on makes her feel some type of way. she can feel him beaming, his feelings bleeding to her. and it does crack a smile from her usual stoic expression. someone could get lost in his eyes. and she. she isn't. but someone else could.
"i'll give you that, they do match me much better." she focuses then, looking down at her feet. trying to follow the instructions. moving only barely, feels like a toddler. but slowly seems to get the hang of it. hides the excitement she is feeling, in all honesty it could be pinned on him. it's scott's fault. "next time we should get you on some platforms, to make it fair or something." she comments offhandedly. holds onto his hand. feels. safe. that's new.
β β β For Scott, the world was pretty simple: His family needed him, his team needed him, his friends needed him. This was another world though. He loved everything that needed him. Ice and people were just as important to him as his sister's jewellery sat safely in a box under his bed. Heather made him smile and made his heart hurt and laughed when he said dumb shit. Altogether, getting her out on the ice would be a lot like getting a diamond to sit safely in that gold band that he kept on his right hand.
' Yeah well, the basketball team was named first so we got stuck with the tigers, but at least snow tigers are already a thing and they match your whole getup better than the orange ones, ' Scott hummed, non-plussed at her words. His face was set in a sure smile and he squeezed her hands gently, a small gesture of confidence before he pulled them back just a little so they were further from the boards. The hockey player beamed at her, ' see ? you're amazing. Angle your feet out a little and push, like ten and two. '
