[At first, Teddy wasn't sure if it'd work. Maybe it was too cold, maybe the fact that his feet are still on the ground is ruining it, maybe this is all for nothing -
But then the smile on Billy's face tells him differently. It's not the same as flying; nothing would be the same as that until Billy decides to lift his feet off the ground and fly. But with his arms spread wide, scarf billowing behind him, and his smile wide and free...
It's close enough, and that's what Teddy was hoping to give him for at least an instant. And he looks so beautiful like that.
With them speeding along, however, the other side of the lake is approaching much faster. So, not wanting to just jolt him out of it, Teddy takes his hand again, then slows their speed enough to take a wide turn without sending them both careening to the side. Once they're skating straight again, Teddy keeps his hands where they are, around his hand and on his back, and looks at his face once more.]
