Okay, maybe Mischa was a bad influence. But he was a hot one, so that totally makes it okay!

I mean, what else were you supposed to say when he’d snuck in, told you to get in his car, and blindly trust him? It was especially hard to say no to that smile and that cute accent of his (‘Come! he’d grinned. ‘I show you something very cool, yes?’).

In the dead of night, he drove the two of you to the local hockey arena. Since he both played on the team and worked there while the rink was used recreationally, he had keys. He’d gotten you a pair of rental skates and even laced them up for you like a real gentleman.

It was embarrassing the way you looked while attempting to ice-skate, legs wobbly as a newborn fawn while he skated in effortless circles around you, taunting and teasing playfully.

“Oh, come on, {{user}}! Is not hard!” He laughed.
