Off Camera ON THE ICE
Connie's povThe car ride back to the house after the event was painfully quiet.Kyrian sat beside me in the backseat, staring out the tinted window with his jaw locked tight, one hand clenched against his thigh hard enough that the veins stood out.I kept my hand resting lightly on his leg.He barely reacted.The weight of what I’d done tonight hung between us like smoke.The second our bedroom door closed behind us, he turned.“What the hell were you thinking, Connie?” His voice was low but sharp with frustration.He started pacing immediately, dragging a hand through his already messy hair.“You just challenged Roderigo to a hockey game in front of an entire live audience.” He let out a disbelieving laugh. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”I leaned back against the door, crossing my arms.“I know exactly what I did.”“No, you don’t.”He stopped pacing and looked at me fully now, dark eyes intense.“Roderigo is a star player. He’s been grinding at this level for years.” His v
Off Camera DAMAGE CONTROL
Connie's povThe house was already buzzing by the time Hori and I got back.Phones were lighting up everywhere. Group chats exploding with notifications, producers pacing the common room with tight expressions and half-whispered phone calls.I barely made it through the front door before Mira shoved her phone in my face.“Have you seen this?” she asked, eyes wide.The video was everywhere. Security footage from the corridor mixed with shaky fan recordings. Kyrian slamming Roderigo into the wall. Fists flying, security dragging him off while he still looked ready to kill someone.The comments were brutal.“Told you he was a fucking nutcase.”“Playbook’s violent golden boy strikes again.”“That girl needs to run before he snaps on her too.”Our room ranking had already dropped two spots by midnight.The production team was in full panic mode.I didn’t say anything publicly, not in the house group chat, not during the surprise interview sessions producers kept trying to pull me into. I j
Off Camera FIRST SHIFT BACK
Kyrian's povThe flight back from Tokyo felt like crossing back into enemy territory.Connie had slept most of the way, her head against the window, while I stared at nothing, my mind replaying the nights we’d spent tangled together in that hotel room.For one week, it had been simple and real.Now we were back, and the weight of Crestfield—the show, the cameras, the expectations—was already pressing down again.Tonight was my first game back.Crestfield versus Riverton.Home ice.I stepped onto the ice with the team for warm-ups, the familiar chill cutting through my jersey.Sean skated up beside me, tapping his stick on the ice.“Good to have you back, bro. The team felt off without you.”“I'm back now, let's give it our best shot.” I said, nodding my head.The rest of the guys were in their routines—stretching, passing drills, light shots on goal. The crowd was decent, but I could feel the undercurrent.Some cheers.Some murmurs.The suspension hadn't helped my reputation.Up in th
Off Camera NO GOING BACK
Connie's povMy heart was still hammering against my ribs when we pulled apart, foreheads pressed together, breaths mingling in the dim light of Kyrian’s room. Tokyo hummed faintly through the window, distant car horns and neon glow filtering in like a reminder that the world outside this moment still existed. But right now, it felt miles away.I didn’t know who moved first after that — me or him — but suddenly we were kissing again, slower this time, deeper. His hands settled on my waist, warm and steady through the thin fabric of my t-shirt. I slid my fingers up his chest, feeling the hard lines of muscle I’d tried so hard not to notice during all those forced proximity moments. The rules we’d made in that narrow laundry corridor back at Crestfield? They were ashes now. Burned away the second his mouth found mine.“Kyrian,” I whispered against his lips, not sure if it was a warning or a plea.He pulled back just enough to look at me, those dark eyes searching my face like he was wai
Off Camera QUIET AFTER THE LIGHTS
Kyrian's PovThe cameras finally shut off around nine, and the relief hit me like stepping off the ice after a brutal practice—sharp, sudden, and a little dizzying.The crew packed up their gear while Pat gave us her usual clipped “good work” before disappearing into the night like she’d never been there.I stood on the rooftop terrace of the restaurant, the Tokyo skyline glittering below us in every direction. The others were laughing somewhere behind me—Cole telling another loud story, Mira and Hori teasing Sean about his failed attempt at ordering in Japanese.Normal shit.Or as normal as this circus got.I leaned against the railing, the cool metal pressing through my shirt. “Still brooding?” Her voice cut through the noise. Connie. Of course.“I'm not brooding.” I replied, not turning around right away.“Could’ve fooled me.” She stepped up beside me, close enough that I caught the faint scent of her shampoo. Her shoulder brushed my arm.Neither of us moved away.The rules we’d
Off Camera PAT KNOWS EVERYTHING
Connie's povI stared at my plate like it held the answers to the universe while Pat ate with the calm serenity of a woman who had already won whatever game we were all still pretending to play.The scrambled eggs had gone cold, but nobody was touching their food anymore, not with Pat sitting at the head of the table like she’d materialized from thin air.She accepted the plate Mira slid toward her without a word, nodding her head in appreciation. The rest of us watched in collective silence as she took bites, the scrape of her fork against ceramic the only sound in the suite’s dining area.Finally, she set her fork down and leaned back, wiping her mouth with a napkin.“Director Vress sent me,” she said pleasantly. “I’ve been here since yesterday afternoon, caught the tail end of your little adventure last night."Cole, who had been mid-reach for his coffee, froze.Pat smiled, the kind of smile that made you wonder how much she’d actually seen.Hori made a small choking sound, Sean ru
