“I’ve never been a liar,” Maya teased, a sigh escaping her lips as he tucked a curl behind her ear. She forgot how much she missed his simple touches and how really at peace that she felt with him.  Ice skating, she hadn’t been for  a really long time and it sounded like fun, but she just didn’t know. She knew that skate rental could cost a little bit, plus entry fee.. until an idea popped into her head. “I think it’d be fun as long as you let me pay for the skate rental. it’s only fair..” was it? she just didnt want him to be too short on cash. She’d feel bad..

“ And you’re telling me this, why?” An amused laugh slid from KC’s lips, as he took one last bite of his lunch. Sadly, the best food he got was at school, compared to the crap they gave him at the group home, if they’d even remember to feed half the kids. The right corner of his mouth curled into a smile, as he pushed the lunch tray away. KC did not know much about Zig other than the few times he saw him in the hallway. 

“It’s kind of cute,”  she hummed in return before crinkling her nose slightly.  “Most things suit you,” Maya corrected before matching his giddy smile with one of her own,  she couldn’t help herself. Everything about being around Zig excited her and she’d missed him more than she could put into words. “Are you gonna tell me what we’re doing?” she asked softly, as she thought about it. Maybe they could just stay there, she didn’t want Zig to spend his money or her, sure she wasn’t exactly caught up on his life but things had always been tight and she didn’t know if he needed to save it. The thing was though that she didn’t know how to voice that without being  offensive so instead she bounced excitedly on the balls of her feet.

Her heart was beating hard against her chest, and Maya couldn’t wipe the smile from her face since Zig had confirmed their date with her earlier that day. Sure, she had decided on jeans and a sweater knowing that Toronto was getting cold and paired it with some earring, and booties, plus her guitar ring.  The last thing that she wanted to do was look like a giant mess and after curling her hair and slipping on her glasses, she was sure that she looked fine. Bundling up in her coat and a scarf, the blonde pocketed her phone and some money, not wanting Zig to have to pay for everything, even if she didn’t know the extent of his situation, she knew things weren’t the easiest. Almost as if on cue after checking on her mom one last time, she heard the knock and practically skipped toward the door,  almost being able to feel that it was Zig. Tugging it open, the blonde felt airy and light, something that she hadn’t in a while. “Hi, you’re here. Did you  wanna come in for a sec? You’ve got Rudolph nose.”
