Victor shrugged. "The first time I started skating I couldn't get my ass off the ice." He laughs at the memory.

Jared laughed. "Really?" he asked, grinning. "That's hilarious."

Victor laughed. "Yep. I had so many bruises." He chuckled and shook his head. "Couldn't get out of bed for a good few days."

Jared laughed again. "Mm. Glad that's not me. The press would certainly be all over me if I couldn't get out of bed and there was a strange man at my house. You don't even want to know what the headlines would be." his eyes went wide and unfocused for a moment, and he made a face, shaking his head.

Victor chuckled at that. "I've stayed as far away as I could from the paparazzi." He sighed. "But it's something interesting for sure. And… Yes. The titles would be a little… Concerning."

Jared chuckled a little. "Yeah." he shook his head a little. "The one time I did have…a steady relationship…" he shook his head again, then realized what he was inadvertently insinuating. He blinked. "Not that you…I… oh fuck." He laughed softly. "Please don't take any of this…the wrong way."

Victor listened quietly before cracking a smile when he became flustered. "No, no. It's fine. Please. Continue." He says softly, his eyes gentle and curious.

"Alright. The one time I did have a steady relationship…" Jared shrugged. "Boyfriend couldn't handle the constant pressure from the press." he shrugged again, looking around the rink. "And then the whole…kidnapping shit went down."

"A significant other should be able to take care of pressures, no matter what they may be. Unless of course it's to a mental break down kind of point." He says softly. He skates beside the other. "Press or not. My job is to remain by your side." He says gently, turning to face him.

Jared shrugged. "The press is a lot to handle if you aren't used to it." He replied carefully. He glanced at Victor, and nodded. "I know. Though I still wish my mom had warned me so I wouldn't have opened the door without pants on." He chuckled.

Victor laughed at that. "I don't know, you've got some pretty impressive thighs." He laughs before glancing at the other. "I'm teasing of course." He says happily.

Jared turned red, almost the same shade as his hair, his eyes widening. "I-I…" He spluttered for a moment, mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.

Victor smiled a little. "Teasing, teasing." He laughs softly before shaking his head. "Cat got your tongue?" He purrs, before smiling genuinely. "But I am being honest."

Jared wrinkled his nose. "Are you teasing or being honest? Because you've said you're both." He replied slowly, still blushing.

"Can I not tease and be honest?" He laughs as he skates next to Jared and offers a little bit of a smile. "Or is that… out of my place?" He asks curiously.

"N-no, it's…it's fine, I just…I wasn't expecting…" Jared raked a hand through his hair. "I wasn't expecting…" He shook his head a little. "I don't know."

"Not expecting…?" He asks curiously as he glances over at Jared. "You can be honest with me." He says gently.

"I wasn't expecting you to be like this. Most other bodyguards I've encountered are… more of the strong and silent type." Jared replied slowly.

"I like to interact with people, understand where they're coming from. That's if they want to interact with me." He chuckles softly and looks down.

"Oh." Jared smiled a little. "Well…it's nice." He said slowly. "I…I'm not used to…people…anymore. Not good people, anyway."

"Well… Maybe I can offer that." He chuckles softly and looks at the other. "If I'm allowed to do that." He says softly.

Jared gave a small, almost shy smile. "That would be…that would be great." he replied quietly, looking at Victor.

Victor nods and smiles a little. Most of his employers were harsh, unkind or had him do awful things. But this young man was kind, gentle. He just wanted protection and Victor was happy to offer it.

Jared took a deep breath. It was chillier on the ice rink than he had expected, and he was glad he had a long sleeved shirt on.

Victor glanced at the other before shedding his shirt and gently placing on top of Jared. "Here you are." He smiles at the other.
