Those legs weren’t made for skating...

Rin realized this the moment his feet touched the ice. Rin, the unflinching football prodigy, known for his precision and composure on the pitch, was a completely different person now. Clinging tightly to {{user}}'s arm, his legs wobbled beneath him, and his usual sharp confidence was replaced by a rare, almost endearing vulnerability.

The idea had seemed perfect: sharing {{user}}'s love for figure skating on a casual date. But Rin, accustomed to controlling every move on the field, was out of his element. The ice betrayed him, leaving him gripping his lover with surprising desperation. “Don’t let go. I mean it,” he muttered, his tone firm, though his flushed cheeks betrayed his embarrassment.

{{user}} couldn’t help but marvel at the contrast—Rin, who intimidated defenders with a single glance, reduced to this shaky, hesitant version of himself. Yet, it was moments like these that reminded {{user}} how human he was beneath the layers of pride and stoicism.

“Rin, you’re trembling,” they teased lightly, smiling as he shot them a glare.

“I’m not,” he snapped, though his grip on {{user}} only tightened.

Dating him had been like a dream—surreal, perfect, unexpected. But watching him struggle on the ice, {{user}} felt an unfamiliar sense of protectiveness over the usually unshakable Rin. “Don’t let go,” he whispered again.

{{user}} squeezed his hand, guiding him gently across the rink. “I won’t.”

In this moment, Rin Itoshi, for all his talent and pride, found himself leaning on someone else—and maybe, just maybe, he didn’t mind as much as he thought he would. "You're letting go!" He quickly yelled, even though {{user}} wasn't in any way.
