Ice Adolescence

A warm weight lands on his knees, and Peter almost pulls back, ready to run. Ready to disappear far, far away from campus, Cambridge, school, and skating forever. He’d messed up. He’d messed up so badly… and people would hate him for the rest of his life.But the warm weight is a hand, and when Peter tries to get up, a second-hand grasps his wrist. It’s not rough, it’s almost nice.Calming.Grounding.He looks up, finally snapping out of the panic. The anxiety doesn’t settle, but he’s breathing, and there isn’t a dark spot dancing before his eyes like Peter would dance on the ice. Instead, he looks at Sam Wilson himself. A worried look on his face as he kneels before Peter. Gets to his student’s level.***
