Somehow ~~Palpatine returned~~, Eddie had managed to untangle himself from Steve without waking him, despite Steve clearly being the morning person between the two of them.

On his pillow he had left an origami bat with a little festive scarf taped to it, and a note: MEET ME AT THE DINER <3

Once Steve arrived Eddie was ready and waiting with hot-chocolate and grin as he pushed a pair of skates across the table. "You know how?"

Steve grumbled as he woke up, reaching out for a body that wasn't there anymore. Waking up fully, he blinked around the room looking for his boyfriend, but didn't see him anywhere. It was about then that he saw the bat on the pillow, though. And, Jesus, Eddie was so fucking cute.

It took almost no time for him to get dressed and head out to the diner. When he saw Eddie, he grinned ear to ear, so fucking charmed by the metalhead. How was he so cute?

"I mean, I used to? It's been awhile since I tried but I think it's gotta be like riding a bike, right?" He can't stop smiling. "You?"

Oh thank god. Eddie was very much in his head about the whole thing, despite his attempts to play it cool. His shoulders relaxed a little at Steve's grin, and he chewed playfully at his lower lip.

"Mm- I might need someone to hold onto," he said, taking Stark's advice to downplay whatever skill he might have (and it wasn't a lot to start with), "Think you can handle that?" He slid out of the booth and took a steaming cup and his own pair of skates, "Come on, I know the perfect place."

Steve couldn't believe this. Eddie had planned a skating date for them? Complete with hot chocolate? Steve grabbed his own skates and drink before scrambling after Eddie. He leans over once he's close enough and pecks a kiss to his boyfriend's cheek.

"You might, huh? I think I can definitely handle that." He sips on his drink and nudges Eddie with his elbow. "An origami bat, hot chocolate, and ice skating? Are you trying to out-romance me, Munson?"

The kiss made Eddie's cheeks warm plenty against the cold that met them.

"I'm trying," Eddie laughed, "But you made it pretty damn hard for me, Harrington," he teased right back, bumping him with his shoulder in turn and heading towards the civics building. "But I figure I had to at least try to out play you at your own game for Christmas."

The fact that Eddie still blushed when Steve kissed him was one of the sweetest things in the fucking world.

"I love you so much," he said with a laugh and another kiss, but this time to his temple. "And I think you might be in the lead, man. Hot chocolate is like at least twenty points on its own. I'm not sure how I can top that for Valentine's."

"You made me a Dungeons & Dragons date. You are definitely winning. For now," Eddie argued with a grin. Maybe he'd earn the top spot for himself by the time the day was over.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that one. Shit. Am I gonna have to find a box of chocolates and start practicing my love ballads?" he teased.

"For now, hm?" Steve resisted bouncing on his feet as they walked but it was a close thing. "I don't know. You do realize you're the first partner I've ever had that's done something like this for me, right? You coulda stopped at the hot chocolate and I would be impressed."

Still, he's excited. And the idea of Valentine's day does nothing to dampen it. "Play one of my pop songs and that'll be perfect. Chocolate will probably be peanut butter around here."

"I mean...same? I guess Paige kinda got me a shot at a record deal, but that wasn't really a gift," he muttered with a teasing grin, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Yeah? Is that all it takes, just croon a little Wham! at you and you're mine?"

Steve, eternally the romantic, couldn't help but knock his hip into Eddie's. "I've been yours for awhile, babe. No Wham! or anything else required."

He made a show of thinking for a second. "Buuuut...It would make me really happy and probably get you laid. So still a good trade, I think."

Eddie grinned and ducked his head, still in awe that he'd some how landed Steve. It shouldn't work. But it did.

"Laid is good. Happy too," he added, nudging his elbow into Steve's ribs with a smirk.

They reached the frozen pool, and Eddie found a place to set down their drinks after taking a long sip, breath hanging in the air. "Let's hope that bike thing is true and you can keep me from falling on my ass," he said, taking a seat and starting to tug off his boots.

Steve sat down next to Eddie and made some quick work of his shoes before going and bending over Eddie's to make sure his were on nice and tight. He sips on his drink to warm himself up and then grins.

"I am very fond of that ass so I think I can be trusted to guard it. C'mon..." Steve struggles up and extends his hands for Eddie to help him up. "You can trust me, baby..."

It's intimate in that simple way Eddie's learning to treasure, watching Steve tighten his laces for him.

"There's not a lot of it, so you gotta protect it," Eddie laughs, using his help to get to his feet, ankles wobbling a little as he leans on Steve with a flush. "...been a while."

Steve wraps his arm around Eddie's waist and leads them both to the ice. It's been a minute for him too so he slips a bit getting on but regains his balance. He releases Eddie's waist to just hold his hand and gently pulls.

"Okay. So... If I remember, the trick is to not lift your feet too much. Just a little. Push with one and then...just let the other one slide."

"Yeah?" Eddie says, sliding slowly along the ice and closer to Steve. He slips and grabs onto him with a laugh.

Tony had been right, this was definitely a good idea for a date.

"Like this?" His fingers stay tangled with Steve's, and in the cold the warmth feels pronounced.

"Mmmhmm..." Steve would never stop smiling. He gave Eddie's hand a squeeze and picked up his speed a little. Nothing that would be too much but enough that there was a breeze to push Eddie's hair back. That and his rosy cheeks was enough to have Steve want to pull over to the side and kiss him breathless.

"I won't lie: I forgot how to stop. Usually I crash into a wall, but...."

Yep, Tony was going to need a very good thank you. This was everything he hoped it would be.

He laughs, face flush. "Heh- same. That or fall." Which- oop, now that he mentions it, Eddie's feet slide out from under him, pulling Steve down with him.

Steve lets out a sharp yelp as he's brought down but it's cut with giggles. He falls more or less on top of Eddie and rests his head against his chest as he laughs at the whole picture they must make. When he's coming up for air it's just to kiss Eddie soft and reach over to check his boyfriend's head.

"You hit anything important over there? You know, I didn't need a demonstration. I would have believed you."

At least Steve is laughing too. Squishing him, but laughing. And it's nice actually, especially when he kisses him, and Eddie wonders if they look like the couples in those Rom-Com movies.

"I wish I could say I was pulling a move."

They absolutely do.

Steve moves off Eddie and falls to the side. He sits there a sec, reaching to help his boyfriend up.

"Sure. That's what I said too when I was toootally pulling moves." He grins and leans in to give him a kiss to his cheek. "Don't worry: even when you're not trying, it's working."
