Chapter 198 - Date (2/2)

Kazuya was a bit embarrassed to note that most of the other people on the rink were also couples, but it was the man pulling the female along. 'just move your legs as if you were walking normally,' Kazuya said in his head. He doesn't understand why Lyn is used to this. She should hardly have come in contact with the snow. Considering her reaction when they started traveling together. He recalled that other man and frowned. Perhaps it was that guy.

Lyn didn't notice his troubles since she continued speaking, ”So when you get the hang of it, you can increase your speed.”

He followed her halfway around before letting go of the wall, and Lyn let go of his hand as he took a few steps forward. ”Hmm...” he mumbled.

”That's it!” Lyn cheered.

Due to the sudden proximity, Kazuya lost his balance, and in the next second, he was on the ground.

”Ah-” Lyn reached for him but was too late, and also fell alongside him.

”Are you okay?” She stopped beside him as he pushed himself up.

”Does a broken butt count as okay?” He grunted.

”I'm sorry. I...” Lyn blushed, ”I distracted you, didn't I?”

Though he was initially in a bad mood after falling, when he saw the girl's rosy red cheeks that anger vanished in a second, ”Well, I was close to kissing you, so I guess it wasn't too bad,” and she looks very good in her current choice of clothes. So this deal isn't completely bad for him.

Lyn leaned forward to kiss his cheek, but he moved, so the girl's lips landed on hers.

Soft laughter escaped her lips, ”Your very silly you know Kazuya?” she reached over and wiped away the pieces of ice from his clothing, ”Let's go again, I think you'll get the hang of it soon.”

Kazuya nodded. He didn't mind doing it again, as long as Lyn would continue holding his hand. Guess he could sacrifice his own butt for a bit if Lyn is going to act so cute around him. When Kazuya realized what he was thinking, he deeply sighed. Is he an idiot or something? If the Sound Kingdom elders hear of this, they'll surely get mad at him. But even without it, they'll get angry at him anyway, won't they?

He followed after Lyn, who was cutely giving him instructions. After focusing and clearing his mind, Kazuya was able to skate even better than the girl. Well then again this is why people call him a genius. Even if he doesn't know something at the beginning, after a while, he will master it.

Lyn's eyes brightened, ”You're amazing, Kazuya, so cool!”

..

Kazuya didn't know what he was doing. But all he knew was he was having a lot of fun. The two of them started to race around the rink like children. It was foolish, and loads of people were staring at them like they were crazy. But, that didn't stop either of them. They both seem to have an odd competitive side. They went around the rink several times. At one point Lyn was ahead of him and seemed very pleased.

He chuckled when he saw that, 'What a kid, but,' his thoughts broke off when he saw how her hair slipped out of the clip. Her flowing black hair looked like a waterfall. Her movements, despite her childish actions, seemed so very graceful and beautiful. In the end, this girl is still so far from his reach; he still doesn't deserve her. But that's fine for now, 'One day he will,' Kazuya already put his plan in motion. Lyn may not agree with it, that's why he isn't exposing too many details.

Kazuya shook his head, quit staring at her. A few minutes ago he fell because he was looking at. He really is turning soft, that's surely a bad thing for him. But Kazuya didn't dislike this change as much as he initially thought. When he first realized he changed, Kazuya tried to stay clear from the girl.

He easily could have waited for her to come around and pass him, but he decided there would be no thrill in that, so he gradually picked up speed. Kazuya reached over and grabbed hold of her hand when he did; he noticed her flushed face. ”Fever?” he frowned. Was it bad to take her out?

”I think I'm a bit tired; maybe we should eat now?”

He nodded and gently kissed her forehead, ”I'll Princess carry you back.”

Lyn blushed, ”Uh, no, I'm okay.”

”I insist,” Kazuya said, and indeed he did as he lifted the girl in his arms.
