Bite the Snow {Joick Mini-Story} Two

Nick was hoping that his parents would veto the private lesson idea. But no, they were so freakin' excited. Ecstatic even.

Nick did not feel the same way. He didn't have to tell his parents about the lessons, but private lesson were a billion times less mortifying than beginner lessons with chubby kids.

It's warmer in the afternoon, the sun way up in the sky, snow starting to melt. Joe's waiting for him at the bottom of the bunny hill, grinning wide and bright when he catches sight of Nick. Nick definitely does not notice that Joe's Under Armour stretches across his chest and biceps.

And if he does, well you can just shut the fuck up.

Nick has somewhat of an attitude problem. He's hot-headed, he's a jerk, and he doesn't really give two shits about what anyone thinks. He's gay, it's not a secret, his parents know, the few friends that he has know. It's not really that big a deal to anyone close to him, but he's dealt with bigoted idiots on numerous occasions, you can't be a pussy when people want to beat the gay out of you.

Joe doesn't seem to mind that Nick doesn't smile back, his grin doesn't falter. Joe's hair is hidden under a hat, but little tufts of curly dark hair is still visible. His eyes are dark and squinty against the bright light, and his eyebrows are thick and dark, like caterpillars. His skin is dark and tanned, dotted with freckles and moles.

Nick doesn't really want to kiss each one, and if he does, well you can shut the fuck up.

Once again Joe and Nick walk a quarter way up the bunny hill, before Joe instructs Nick to strap in his foot again.

"Okay, so again you're going to start with you dominant foot forward, and slide down the hill, once you reach the bottom, you're going to swivel your board perpendicular to the hill, and dig your heels into the snow. Then you'll stop." Nick grimaces, knowing the likelihood of stopping gracefully is pretty bleak.

It's all fun and games as Nick slides down the hill, but the whole turning the board and stopping part? Well that's just impossible. Nick does stop, but once he's stopped, he's no longer upright.

"Y'okay kiddo?" Nick scrunches his face up, but nods, grasping Joe's hand to be pulled up. "That was actually pretty good."

"Hah, good one." Nick is the king of sarcasm.

"No seriously. You're not going to get it on the first try. Now I'm going to tell you what you did wrong, and you're going to fix it." He grins again, winking.

"Joy." Nick has an addiction to sarcasm. In this case, when saying 'Joy', Nick did not actually believe that hearing what he did wrong, would be joyful.

"You need to work on your balance when you turned your board, and try not to overcompensate. Just go with the flow." Joe rests his hand on Nick's shoulder, leaving warm pressure.

"Seriously? How is that supposed to help me?" Joe smirks.

"How about I tell you what to do, and you don't, emphasis on the don't, talk back and question me? 'Kay, awesome." Nick bites back another sarcastic comment.

So. Basically for the whole hour, Nick and Joe walk a quarter way up the hill. Nick slides down. Nick falls. Joe helps Nick up. Joe tells him what to do better. Nick may or may not say sarcastic, derogatory, or colourful comments. Joe smiles and pats Nick's shoulder, or wipes off some snow.

Nick definitely does not blush when Joe touches him. That would just be gay.

After the hours up, Nick hasn't really gotten any better at snowboarding. ANd he has more bruises on his ass than anyone should.

"That was a pretty unsuccessful lesson."

"Aw c'mon, it wasn't that bad." Joe's optimism is a little lame.

"I don't think you're teaching right." Joe glares.

"Maybe you just suck."

"Seriously? I do not suck. You suck." Joe laughs.

"What a witty come back. I am floored by your way with words. You have blown my mind."

"Oh shut it."

"There you go again! Wow man, wow." Nick shoves Joe lightly, kind of annoyed, definitely not enjoying the sound of Joe's laugh. In no way whatsoever is is mesmerizing. "Come on kid, let me buy you a drink. And by 'buy you a drink', I mean let me buy your underage ass a hot chocolate."

"I prefer 'jailbait' to 'underage'." Joe laughs loud and surprised, shoving Nick lightly.

No this is not based on a real story. Whistler is amazing, but I taught myself to snowboard, when I was 7. If you're wondering, it's not hard, and it pwns the fuck out of skiing. No offense, I ski too, but snowboarding kicks ass.

Not posting until I get 40 comments. You take long, I take long.
