Summary: One of your favorite Christmas pastimes is ice skating! So whenever the opportunity presents itself, of course you end up teaching Enji to skate.

Playlist: The Snowball Effect

December 14

“You know this will never work.” Enji grumbles, his feet unsure.

“You can’t possibly know that!” You laugh, sliding with ease across the ice in an elegant twirl. “Just glide and pivot, big boy.”

“Easy for you to say. You don’t exude heat the way I do.” 

“Hm, that sounds like an excuse, Enchan.” You taunt, squealing when he pulls you in by the waist and sends you both sprawling across the ice.

He hovers above you, cold air steaming from the heat of your breaths before he leans down to seal your mouths together in a kiss. A moment passes before your tongue swipes at his lip and then he’s wrestling the strong muscle with his own for dominance.

“Why are you guys so gross?” Tenko grouses as he closes the back door and snow crunches beneath his feet. “I thought Mom was teaching you how to ice skate?”

“Tenko,” Enji huffs as he pulls back. “Your mother is teaching me how to ice skate. But we fell.”

“We’re gross because we’re in love with each other.” You fake swoon, throwing your arm across your forehead and using the other arm to wrap around Enji’s neck.

“I think it’s romantic.” Fuyumi sighs; she’s next to exit the back door. “They still love each other even after having us!”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Natsuo furrows his little brows in confusion when he files out behind her.

“I dunno. It’s something my math teacher said. Apparently the romance dies with every child born.” Fuyumi shrugs.

“That’s a bunch of crap.” Toya carries Shoto out with him and then sets him on the snow-covered ground. “Having a bunch of kids means there’s still plenty of romance!” He smirks.

“How do you know?” Shoto asks.

“Because they’re having a bunch of kids.” Toya snickers.

You roll your eyes at the antics of your children before Enji helps you up. Both of his large hands swallow yours in their heat, but you guide him again in a dance across the ice. 

“Just take it slow. You don’t have to be an expert by the end of the night.” You remind him.

“”I at least want to be proficient.” He grunts, nearly slipping again.

“Baby steps, Enchan. Think of skating like your flames. Move as an extension of the ice and go with its flow.” You demonstrate with poise that could rival professional figure skaters.

Your children watch with increasing interest as you teach the hulking behemoth of a man how to make a smooth journey around the thick ice covering your backyard pond. When you tell him to take a break, he insists you keep going. Telling him he doesn’t have to be perfect results in him trying even harder to float over the frigid frost as easily as you do.

Until finally, he does.

The two of you race across the ice until you’re pleasantly surprised when he scoops you up into his arms and holds you against his chest while his skates glide across the ground. He kisses your forehead while he spins the two of you in a slow and steady cyclone.

“I may not be as graceful as you, but I’m definitely as fast now.”

“But not as fast as me!” Toya whoops, suddenly tearing across the ice in circles around Enji. “Try and catch me if you can, Dad!”

Enji smirks and then sets you down on the ice as he takes up the challenge.

Everyone laughs when Toya ends up the winner after Enji slips and crashes into a snowdrift. You snort and head over to sit by him in the snow, swiping the leftover frozen flakes from his fiery red hair.

“Well, you were right about one thing.” You rub a thumb over his cheek and giggle. “You’re definitely not as graceful as me.”

Ice Skating Weather

These Amish youth are enjoying this cold weather to get some ice skating in. On some ponds they also play ice hockey. I think this photo shows them playing a game, where they tag people on the other team, and they can only be released when you sneak behind the lines and tag them. This cold spell lasted almost 4 weeks. I think the skating ended several days ago. It is pouring “cats and dogs”…

Birthday skate for Ian! Portland, ME.

[lachapelleblanche]

The place I go in my dreams. What otherworldly beauty, with the heavens above, the mountains beyond, the sky reflected on the ice’s surface. It’s as though the skater were gliding through the very clouds. When the wind picks up– what a sense of freedom, of flight, of being sheltered under God’s wing. Watching this, I am reminded of the lyrics to my favorite Christmas hymn, with its vision of angels looking down tenderly upon the hurting world–

“Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world.” Surely even angels would be moved to pause and watch this skater carving patterns into the mirrored reflection of their heavenly home.
