Huh? No, no, [ Matthew laughs. ] I think we're about to wrap up.
[ Not really, though Matthew sounds perfectly sincere because he's not telling a deliberate lie. It's just that he'd rather talk to Kurt than return to the group. They're cool and everything, but Kurt is Kurt. ]
Some of the guys were teaching me how to play hockey.
Oh, [he begins, still sounding a bit unsure.] Okay, if you say so!
[But there's a quiet sigh of relief and Kurt smiles, reaching his free hand up to ruffle through his two-toned bangs. He's none the wiser when it comes to Matthew fibbing a little about his activity, but he has no reason to question him.]
Was it fun? You know, I've never even been ice-skating. [He scoffs, like he's disappointed with himself.] Anyway, do you think I'd be able to see you today? I have something really amazing to show you.
I'm not very good, [ Matthew admits cheerily, with zero trace of embarrassment. ] But ice-skating is real fun. Once you get the hang of it, it's like-- gliding.
[ That's exactly what it is, but Matthew sounds pretty pleased with himself for coming up with such a good description. Kurt won't make fun of him for saying something dumb, anyway.
He perks up. ]
Oh, yeah, I wanna see! What is it?
[ Any chance to see Kurt makes him happy, but it sounds like Kurt has something especially exciting to show him this time. ]
That's okay, [Kurt reassures, regardless.] Maybe we could go together sometime? Gliding sounds like a blast.
[As soon as Matthew says he wants to see, he livens up a bit more himself.] It's, uhm— [There's obviously some hesitation. He wants to tell him so badly; he also wants the inducer to be a total shock.]
Well, I want it to be a surprise! If you're too excited, I suppose I could show you over the phone.
[Yes, his tone is absolutely teasing when it comes to that last comment.]
