"Okay, how to start skating" Kirishima began, he tapped his chin. "Let's take a look at your posture" He looked the blonde down. "Bend your knees" he said while going behind Bakugo and making the blondes knees bend.

"Now try walking" Bakugo wibbled a bit and had his arms out. "Now walk like a duck" "I'm not doing that" the blonde growled, the red head sent him a small glare. Bakugo tried his best, sure he wasn't moving very much but it was a start.

"If you're using your brakes only use one or you will end up falling on your back" Kirishima took Bakugo by the elbow and slowly stared leading him.

They built up some speed so he let go of Bakugo. The boys were skating side by side when a small group of young adults walked in. "Well I should go help those guys, you can keep skating if you want" Bakugo gave a silent nod and continued, I want him to be proud of himself for teaching me so good.

"How can I help you folks?" Kirishima said with his customer service smile. The adults smelt of alcohol so they probably came here on a drunk thought.

"Four pairs of skates" one of the men said. Kirishima gave them the sizes they asked for and went straight back onto the rink. He had a bad feeling about them and Bakugo was still on the rink so if something happened it'd be four against one and Kirishima wouldn't be able to control the situation.

"You're doing really well!" The red head said going up to Bakugo "I did learn from the best" the blonde gave a smirk. Kirishimas smile just got larger until he remembered the group of adults.

"Just a heads up, a group of drunk people are going to be here, j would recommend getting off the rink because you never know with these people" he warned "I'll be fine".

The drunk people came on and for the first few minutes it was fine. Sure they were a little loud but they kept their distance. Until one of them thought that skating backwards was a good idea. It wasn't, they hit into Bakugo and the blonde started falling.

Everything felt like slow motion through Kirishimas eyes he went to catch Bakugo, he promised he would.

The blonde had his eyes closed and braced for impact, the only impact that came was the impact of hitting someones chest. He opened his eyes again "why the fuck'd you do that? I would've been fine!"  "I told you I'd catch you!" Kirishima smiled again.

After that the boys left the rink and just sat at the tables "it's getting kinda late, if you want I can give you money for a bus or a train, but then again there can be some sketchy people out now" Kirishima was thinking of the best ways to keep Bakugo happy. "I might as well stay and help you out, you guys are severely understaffed" it was only Kirishima and the coworker that is no where to be seen.

"But you'll be tired for tomorrow!" The red head whined " I know! You can sleep in my car, there is a metal baseball bat under the passenger seat in the front, you can nap and then I'll bring us home".

Bakugo looked at Kirishima, "are you going to give up any time soon?" He asked with furrowed brows "nope". "Fine, but you're almost finished here anyway, you have like half an hour left".

Kirishima gave Bakugo the keys to his car. Bakugo left the main building and got inside of the red heads car. The back seat had blankets and pillows laid out and some fairy lights were hung. It's actually ... Not that bad in here.

He put a blanket over himself and started scrolling through his phone. Instagram was down so he just went onto Tig Tog. All he could do was scroll, he found a few stupid things that he tagged Kirishima in but he started getting tired.

He turned his phone off and closed his eyes. Things felt so peaceful yet there was going to be so much chaos soon to come, Kirishima will have to leave. Will things be the same when he's gone? Will they just go back to normal? I don't think so, he brings a glow with him to the class, like a bubble of happiness and safety. Well maybe not right now, he hasn't been the best.

Bakugos mind went silent as he snoozed in the back seats.

Kirishima was struggling to make the people quiet. One of them through up on the floor on the way to the bathroom so the red head was cleaning vomit while the young adults either skated, laid on the floor or slept on the tables.

I get paid for this. He reminded himself of the good things that come from doing this job and living this life.

When the drunk people got tired and some of them woke up Kirishima put on his playlist and cleaned after them. He sprayed down each table and each chair and wiped them down. He mopped the floors, they were never really clean though, no matter how hard you've tried. He sprayed the skates and he picked him from under the tables, some was so badly stuck that he had to spray them with the cleaning spray and come back when it was softer.

This place was disgusting. I should've worked somewhere else, why did I work here? Oh yeah my creepy old lady land lord offered me this place. At least. We were kinda busy today.

Kirishima started to close down the restaurant. He locked windows and turned lights off. He set up the alarm and left through the door, he locked it with one of his special keys, why were they special? He doesn't know, it's just something he calls his work keys.

He made his way over to his car and gave an little tap. A very sleepy Bakugo unlocked the doors and went back to sleep. The red head genuinely smiled at the sight, he took a sneaky picture that he could look at, for later.
