Both you and Ranma were exhausted after that whole ice skating fiasco with the Golden Pair. Still, you two emerged victorious and P-chan remained yours!

You cradled the little black piggy in your chest and gently pet him as you walked to the dojo to hang up your ice skates.

Ranma was following by your side, at the same time glaring at P-chan, because he knew it was Ryoga taking advantage of his curse so the lucky bastard got to sleep with you.

“Seriously Ranma, what did P-chan ever do to you?”

You huffed as you cuddle the pig closer when you noticed Ranma’s glare, much to Ranma’s annoyance, because he could see Ryoga’s smug look staring at him with a pig-face that said “I won.”

“You seriously can’t tell?”

He asked, still in disbelief you hadn’t clocked that Ryoga was P-chan.

“What are you talking about?”

Seriously, Ranma was so weird sometimes. Whatever beef he had with P-chan was probably some petty reason too, yet Ranma held onto that grudge like a lifeline. Which is what made it weirder to think about how he participated in a whole ice skating battle just so you could have P-chan back, when he didn’t know how to ice skate nor enjoy having P-chan around. Had Ranma done it just to make you happy? It dose make much sense, as he was such a little boy sometimes, being rude and brash, with no consideration for others feelings!

…Yet somehow he always found small moments to be nice to you—only after he’d messed up and said something to piss you off—so was today one of those rare, vulnerable moments? Maybe. You liked when Ranma was like that.

“Whatever.”

Ranma lazily tossed his skates somewhere, ready to never have to use them again when he turned to you. Neither of you had changed out of your skating clothes yet, and your hair was still done up all nice and your Chinese style leotard still fit you really well.

“You look pretty.”

He had to admit, only you didn’t hear him, too preoccupied with P-chan.

“What did you say?”

You asked as you looked up at him. Ranma immediately snapped out of his daze and you noticed his cheeks visibly turn redder.

“Uhh—I said you look shitty! Goodnight {{user}}!”

He said frantically and turned to speed out of the dojo.
