JEREMY’S P.O.V

“Yeah, Jer. He’s been here for a while. Have you guys actually met?”

“Yeah, we have,” I mumbled, my throat tightening at the mere mention of his name. “We play hockey together.”

“I know that. That’s why I’m asking if you’ve met him yet. He was the captain of his hockey team at his old school before he took that hiatus.”

“Yeah, I know.” I knew more than I wanted to admit.

“He’s downstairs in the backyard—he’s in charge of the grill today,” Dani said, her voice buzzing with an exci

  • PUCKING CAPTAIN NIKO    DIRTY PLAY

    NIKO’S P.O.VIt wasn’t the first time Axel had tried to get under my skin before a game. It was his whole brand. Little comments, petty digs, anything to throw a guy off before the rubber even touched the ice.Usually, I’d claim I didn’t care. But this time, it stung. He didn’t know a damn thing about me or the actual reason behind my year-long break. He had no right calling it a fucking holiday.But that was Axel. He always played dirty.I’d never really minded it until I was forced to line up directly against him. Right now, he was practically foaming at the mouth over what I’d said. He looked disgusted, but not genuinely offended, which was a little suspicious. Then again, at the end of the day, everyone’s a little gay.“You can’t talk to me like that,” he snarled.Perfect. Now he was the one riled up before the drop.“Whatever you say, Captain.”The whistle blew.The puck dropped.And immediately, all hell broke loose.Axel got to it first. I wasn’t even surprised. He was fast—fas

  • PUCKING CAPTAIN NIKO    HOMOPHOBE

    NIKO’S P.O.VThe second Coach told the rest and a few of the other guys to sit out and watch, I knew exactly where his attention was going to be.Me.And Axel.“Watch the match,” Coach barked at the rest while I strapped my helmet on tighter. “You want to know how two experienced players read each other, you watch what they do. Pay attention to positioning. Don’t just watch the puck.”I tightened my grip around my stick and skated out towards the centre dot.Across from me, Axel was already doing his usual routine—skating in tight, aggressive circles, pumping himself up. I called it what it actually was: a cheap distraction. I’d shared the ice with him enough times to have his pre-game psychology already mapped out. Right now, he wanted me hyper-focused on him. He wanted his shadow looming so large in my head that I’d completely look past the three-man line-up he’d hand-picked to back him up. It worked on other teams. It worked on rookies.But it never worked on me.I looked right pas

  • PUCKING CAPTAIN NIKO    NOT SORRY ABOUT THE KISS BITCH CAPTAIN

    JEREMY'S P.O.VCoach clapped his hands together, barking orders to divide us into two teams for scrimmages. Of course, the universe hated me today, because Niko and I ended up on the exact same line.Which made avoiding him significantly harder.Hockey requires constant communication. Passing. Trusting the person skating right beside you. All of those things suddenly felt impossible whenever Niko was involved. Still, I forced the panic down and did my best.Actually, I performed really fucking well. The few sips of sugar I’d managed to get from the vanilla milkshake before Rory ruined it gave me a burst of pure energy, allowing me to drive hard through the first few drills.But then Coach blew the whistle and swapped the lines.Niko became my opponent. And somehow, that was a million times worse.The drill immediately grew aggressive. We were practising defence, constantly moving, blocking, shoving, and fighting like hell for control of the puck. I tried with everything in me to keep

  • PUCKING CAPTAIN NIKO    FUCKING DRAMATIC

    JEREMY’S P.O.VI went cold, colder than the ice-cold drink I had been happily sipping only seconds earlier.Every single drop of warmth evaporated from my veins. The worst part wasn’t even the venom in Rory’s voice. It was the silence from the driver’s seat. It was the fact that Axel didn’t immediately tell him to shut the fuck up.I snapped my gaze upwards, and Axel caught my eyes in the rear-view mirror. I waited. I practically begged him with my eyes to say something, to defend me, to be the person he claimed to be when we were alone. Maybe he hadn’t heard it? No, he heard it loud and clear. Instead, Axel had this tiny, smug look on his face. He tried his best to hide it, but his expression gave him away, and I caught it just in time. It was the exact face you see when you realise someone doesn’t actually care about you.“Rory’s just messing around, Jer,” Axel finally said, his voice casual, dismissive. “He doesn’t mean it. Right, Rory?”Rory didn’t bother looking apologetic. “Is h

  • PUCKING CAPTAIN NIKO    HORRENDOUS SIZE

    JEREMY’S P.O.VNIKO: Jer, it’s been three days... you’re gonna keep ignoring me forever? I know you’re seeing this.It didn't read like a plea anymore. It felt like a threat. Like, at any given second, Niko was going to pop out of nowhere and force me into the one conversation I was desperately running from.Why couldn’t he just let it go?It happened. It was in the past. And as far as I was concerned, that’s exactly where it needed to stay—buried, forgotten, and left to rot. He needed to move on, just like I was trying to do. Except I couldn’t deny the truth forever.Bzzzz.Another text. For the last three days, my inbox had become a pathetic, one-sided monument to my cowardice. If anyone else saw it, they’d think I was a celebrity who had no intention of responding to a desperate, lonely fan.NIKO: Hi.NIKO: Jer?NIKO: Can we talk?NIKO: Please?NIKO: I know you’re ignoring me.NIKO: We can’t keep doing this.NIKO: You can’t keep avoiding me forever.The last one had rolled in barel

  • PUCKING CAPTAIN NIKO    REPLAY

    JEREMY’S P.O.V.This was a mistake.The words spilled out of my mouth before my brain could even process them.“No. Jeremy, no, it wasn’t. You felt that, didn’t you?”“No.” I shook my head, already backing away from him. “I’m sorry. This… I have to go.”Then, I bolted.I burst out of the locker room, not even bothering to get my bag. My heart was hammering so violently against my ribs that it hurt, coupled painfully with the rush of cold air hitting my face as I pushed through the doors and onto the ice. I ran away as fast as my trembling legs could carry me.Behind me, the locker-room door swung open. But by then, I was already gone.I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. I just kept moving, driven by a blind, rising panic. Out of the arena. Away from the rink. Away from Niko. Away from whatever the fuck had just happened.Before I even realised what I was doing, my hand flew up to my mouth. I froze, my boots skidding slightly on the surface.My fingertips brushed against my lips.I yanked my ha
