Miu & Tsumigi for winter prompt, the third one, ice skating please? Can be shippy or just platonic fluff! I love your writing, you're really creative! Thank you for sharing your work with us!
Thank you, anon! Youβre so nice!
Shirogane is glad she wrapped up warm. The snow fell thickly overnight, and while the pure white blanket covering the park is a beautiful sight, itβs also far too cold to deal with Irumaβs shenanigans.
Pulling Shirogane along by the hand, Iruma cackles.
βArenβt I great?! Only I could come up with an amazing date like this!β
βAh, yes,β Shirogane says noncommittedly. βAlthough, you havenβt told me where weβre going yet.β
βExcited? Yeah, I would be, too,β says Iruma. βDonβt worry! Weβre riiiight aboutβ¦ here!β
Then Iruma stops. Shirogana nearly walks into her. It takes a moment to realise exactly what Irumaβs showing her. In the cold weather, the pond in the park has frozen over completely.
βPerfect, right?! Well, of course it is!β Iruma answers herself. βIce skating together in the middle of winterβ¦ Who wouldnβt fall head over heels for this set up?β
Shirogane blinks at her. She doesnβt know what to sayβsheβs flattered Iruma would plan such a normal, cute date just for her, but at the same time she wants nothing more than to escape the cold.
βUmβ¦ Is this safe?β Shirogane settles on saying the first thing that comes to mind, though she wonders if that was the wrong choice when Iruma visibly deflates.
βH-huh? Of course itβs safe.β Irumaβs bravado disappears in an instant. βWhat? Y-you donβtβ¦ believe me?β
βNo, itβs not that,β Shirogane says. βItβs just, even if the ice looks solid, it could probably still break easily. Andβ¦ falling in the water when itβs this cold would be really unpleasantβ¦βΒ
Iruma thinks for a moment.
βThen, I just gotta invent something thatβll keep the ice strong as fuck, right?!β
βAh, I think itβd be easier if we just went to an ice rinkβ¦β
