My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury

"Have I ever ice skated? You're looking at a pro over here," Alexei bragged jokingly. Though he certainly wasn't a complete novice either, having grown up frequenting the rinks of Coney Island and Rockefeller Center at Christmastime. Of course it was always tagging along with friends who had particularly generous parents that took pity on the riff-raff kids like himself, as his own father's idea of a fun family outing was a Sunday afternoon lifting wallets on the J train.
"Aww, babyyy," He frowned as Jo recounted the skate mishaps that kept her from the ice, nodding at her adorably pouty request to protect her from the big scary blades. "Of course I will," Alexei affirmed, lifting both their entwined hands to drop a kiss on the back of hers.
He couldn't help but chuckle at the cuteness of her puppy-eyed pleas for a piggyback ride, answering with a quick kiss upon her nose before happily hoisting the petite woman onto his back to deliver her to the rink's entrance. "Jeez, Stace, get it together, will ya? I'm on a date and you're making me look bad," Alexei remarked on the state of the building's rundown facade and signage, cringing at the thought of the myriad other grungy, cruddy, or straight up disastrous locations he'd inadvertently taken his beloved princess to since they started dating. As always, Alexei prayed the place looked a little better on the inside. At least he was lucky his girlfriend had a sense of humor about these things.
Though the building's interior looked like it hadn't seen an update since 1985, it wasn't terrible either; kinda charming even, in a kitschy sort of way. Alexei knelt before Josephine once they got their skates, lacing them up lovingly for her. "Now that we mastered the Dirty Dancing lift, you ready to try it on the ice?" He jested cheerfully, grabbing her hands as he stood.
"Ready?" Alexei asked with a mischievous grin as he moved to help the brunette up, only to sweep her up off her feet entirely and toss her over his shoulder without warning. "What, I can't have you falling over before you even make it to the ice," He teased, stepping carefully in his skates to avoid faceplanting himself while he ferried Jo to the rink. The young man put his sweetheart down gingerly, still holding her steady while she got her footing on the ice. Then proceeded to skate a few laps at a leisurely pace, gently grasping her hand in his.
"See? Easy peasy," Alexei grinned, grabbing Josephine's other hand as he picked up the pace to launch them into a dizzyingly quick spin. Then dropping it again to instead whip her arm up over her head, twirling her like some ill-advised figure skating move that would've sent his girl flying across the ice if he wasn't still holding onto her.
"Oh shit!" Stifling a laugh, he caught her in his arms just as Jo nearly toppled over backwards from the displaced momentum. "Careful, speed racer!" Alexei quipped. Unable to keep it contained, the fellow finally broke out chortling. "I'm joking! Princess, I'm sorryyyy," He playfully nuzzled at her face, attacking her cheeks with a barrage of kisses in apology for his recklessness.
