Who: Marian and Robin When: Uhm, now? Where: Some random ice skating place What: See above
"Still convinced this was a good idea?" Robin asked around a laugh he couldn't quite suppress as Marian gripped the low wall of the skating rink, looking a little less confident than she had when they'd first arrived. It wasn't that he was mocking her. Not really. But after her enthusiasm and insistence that they do this he couldn't help but be a little amused.
He skated back to her side, putting a hand on her arm, attempting to suppress the smile that hadn't quite left his face since this whole thing had started. He opened his mouth, ready to ask if she wanted help, but shut it just as quickly on the look on her face. He recognised that look very well. He'd been told to grow up countless times before in the face of that look. Despite the urge to tease, he was glad she'd suggested they do this. Even if she had gotten the idea from watching something on television that he likened to that horrible movie Lois and Marian had bullied him in to watching.
It had been since before he'd been hurt that they'd done anything as simple as this together. Most of their time spent together hadn't been in any way simple, in fact. Things had gotten tense, in a way he'd never wanted it to be between them. Particularly not now, when they had what Marian so often reminded him was their second chance. He wanted it to be as perfect as she did. And he loved her all the more at a suggestion of doing something like this together. Just the two of them, and more importantly, away from their apartment where he had spent so much time recently.
