Even though it was meant to be a surprise, Phichit had a pretty strong feeling he knew exactly where Emil was taking him. There was the chill in the air, the smell of aerosol shoe disinfectant/deodorizer, all these familiar sensations even though he couldn't see or really even hear anything. Excitement buzzed through his body, though he had a feeling that was probably more to do with Emil's familiar smell and touch so close to him. He really, really missed his boyfriend in the times when they had to be apart.

So when Phichit opened his eyes, even though he knew they were at a rink, he still gasped in delight.

"It looks kind of magical when it's so empty..." he sighed in reverence. His eyes were sparkling as he turned to Emil. "Is it finally time? Are we finally going to pair skate?"
