Arthur looked at you for a moment with a serious look, your laughter made him grin. "God, I'll never be able to take you seriously." He laughs.
"That's good." You smirk. "You need some laughter every once in a while, yes?" You finish your beverage. "Wanna hang out tomorrow?" You cock your head to the side.
"That sounds good." He finishes his drink as well. You rip a piece of paper from your notebook and scribble down your number. You pass it to him, smiling.
"Skating?"
"I suppose."

The next day, you were to meet up with Arthur at the same coffee shop. It had been half past the time you were supposed to meet and he hadn't showed up yet. You flip out your cell phone and decide to text him a message.

Hey, Arthur. U still coming?

You hold the phone in your hand and stare at the screen. It vibrates.

Sorry, I got caught up in something.

Before you could text a reply, he sent another one.

Bought new skates.

You smile slightly. It would have been nice if you told him that he could have borrowed some from the rink. You reply a quick little message and then stick it into your pocket again. You could see Arthur down the street to meet you. You wave your hands up in the air when he started to get even closer. "Heeey." You greet him with a large smile.
"Hello." He nods and readjusts the strap to his bag. "How are you?" He asks.
"Good, are you ready to go?" You gesture to the street ahead. He nods and smiles and you begin your way.

When you got there, the rink was empty, people were using the outdoor one but you decided it was too cold. You slip on your skates and hobble out onto the ice. You haven't gone in a while. Arthur was already on the other side of the rink. He wobbled a little bit but regained his balance and glided over to you with the slightest of ease. You nod and try to push off with the outside of your foot but instead stomped your way over to him. You hold out your arms and let yourself slide until you stopped moving. "You haven't gone skating in a while, I can tell." He laughs slightly, trying not to annoy you.
"Psh- Nope." You wave your arms around to prevent yourself from falling. He laughs and takes your arm. You blush a little bit and shake his arm off.
"I'm good, I can do this." You nod eagerly, pushing off with the inside of your foot instead. You shot forward and begun to skate smoothly. You turned the corner of the rink and caught up to Arthur. You were going to fast. "Oh Sh-" You couldn't slow down and you crash right into him, you both go down onto the hard ice. You sit up immediately and crawl off of him, blushing madly. "I'm so sorry!" 
He sits up as well and brushes off his coat. "It's okay, love." He laughs slightly. "Falling is my specialty." He avoids eye contact with you, also blushing a deep red.
"HEEEY IGGY!" You both turn your head sharply to the front of the rink entrance. Another blonde, with a nantucket, comes running onto the ice with his sneakers still on. "How are you bro?! Who's this?" He looks at you and grins widely, his blue eyes matched his energetic personality.
"O-Oh Hello Alfred." Arthur stands up and holds out a hand for you. You take it and prevent yourself from sliding into him again. "This is, _____ ______. She's my new friend." He nods.
"Nice to meet you, ______!" Alfred holds out his hand. You take it and he shakes your hand vigorously. "I'm Alfred, if you didn't already know."
"Nice to meet you too, Alfred." You smile shyly back. Arthur folds his arms and looks at Alfred with a disapproving look.
"What are you doing here y'git?" He shakes his head.
"I wanted to visit. Fancy-- I mean Francis wants to tag along."
"Bloody frog want's in on everything." Arthur scowls. You look at both of them confused. "Why don't you get your skates on?" He gestures with his head towards the bleachers. Alfred smiled and waved at you and ran off the rink to go put his skates on. You slide over to Arthur.
"Did you invite him?" You whisper.
"No, It's just a coinc-"
"He's fun~" You say rather abruptly and loudly. Arthur folds his arms.
"If you say so..." He sighs.
Alfred soon skates out onto the ice and stops beside you, resting his elbow on your shoulder and leaning to the side a bit. You attempt to push his elbow off but instead you scoot to the side a little bit. "So, what have you guys been doing?" Alfred asks, smiling like a idiot.
"Nothing." Arthur replies sternly.
"Oh Arthur don't keep secrets." You laugh. "We went and got coffee."
"Sounds like a date~!" Alfred smiles even more.
"It wasn't." Arthur blushes. "That was actually the fi-"
"So are you guys going out or something?" Alfred seemed to have hit a nerve on Arthur. His's face had turned a deep red.
"No we're not you bloody git!" He cusses, sliding a little bit forward from shaking his fist. You on the other hand just stood there with a smile on your face, enjoying the irritation.
"You guys seem like a perfect couple." Alfred chuckles. Arthur muttered something under his breath and attempted to lunge at him. Al moves back quickly and Arthur lands on his face with a thud. You skate over to him and help him up.
"Are you alright?" You ask while trying to contain a giggle.
"No, I'm not." He massages his head.
"Oh I'm sorry." You give him a light pat on the back. "Maybe we should head home." You suggest. Your feet already had begun to get sore and cold and your cheeks were turning a light pink from the frigid air inside of the rink. Arthur's nose had begun to turn a tomato red.
"I suppose we should." He gives a nod.

You say goodbye to Alfred and head outside with Arthur by your side. You walk back to the coffee shop where you first met and you unlock your car, setting your bag into the passengers seat. "I guess I'll see you later." You smile at Arthur.
"Yeah..." He trails off for a moment. "Hey, ______" He looks back at you with a light blush.
"Hmm?" You turn your attention to him.
"I-I really like you..." He blushes harder.
"Are you asking me out?" You raise an eyebrow with a grin on your face. He nods and looks away. "I'll go out with you." You smile. "I like you too, Arthur."
