[ It's not exactly the same, but it's beautiful all the same. ]
[Yeah, it is.
But the crazy thing is, after a little while, Bradley finds himself watching Nero more than the aurora.]

He's just going to slip an arm around Nero's shoulders in a loose hug as he looks back up at the brilliant night sky.]

[They're alone enough Nero won't pull away.
It's a nice little night date.]

[Wherever Nero is, Bradley is going to come right up to him like an excited puppy.]
Hey! I found a place where we can skate!

[ Reaching out and taking his hand. ]
You wanna try it?
You wanna try it?
[Nero initiated handholding...truly this is a special day.]
Yeah! They got wheels on the skates instead of blades, but it looks like they work the same.

[ It's! Affection share! ]
Wheels? Sure you won't fall?

[Bradley will be so happy this week.]
'Course not! I can't look uncool in front of you.
'Course not! I can't look uncool in front of you.
Not this time!
[Dragging him to the skating rink! And they get to put on skates and be uncool together.]
I did fine at ice skating, so this can't be much different.

[He's gonna watch you fall on your face.
(He's also gonna fall.)]
You think it's that similar?

[They're holding hands they will fall together.]
Close enough, yeah. Watch.
[out onto the floor he go! He will let go momentarily to show that it's safe. It's not exactly like ice skating, the balance is different, but he manages to stay up.]

[...Mostly. I rolled a 4 so after a few seconds his feet go right out from under him and he falls flat on his ass.]
[ Immediately lets go of him and starts laughing.
Nero, you're a dick. ]

[RUDE
Bradley is sitting on the ground pouting now.]
Man...I wanted to look cool for you.

[ Kneeling next to him. ]
You really think that's gonna do it?
You really think that's gonna do it?
Nah, fallin' down ain't cool.
[He suddenly has a mischievous glint in his eyes though. Nero has two seconds to react before Bradley loops his arms around Nero's neck to tug him down to the ground with him.]

[Now they are in a pile on the ground, and Bradley is laughing.]
That's what you get for laughin' at me.
[He's not mad, he's being playful right now.]

[He's not mad, he's being playful right now.]
[Embarrassing... but they're alone.]
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I know.
[He gives Nero a cheeky grin, and then he'll move to stand up again.]
C'mon, let's try going around together.
