Daniel's POV

I arrived at the training ground with a heavy heart, my bag feeling heavier than usual on my shoulder. My body still ached in ways that made every step a reminder of the night before, but I kept my face neutral as I pushed through the gate.

  • Hockey Rivalry: Bed first, game later    I don't care

    Daniel's POVI arrived at the training ground with a heavy heart, my bag feeling heavier than usual on my shoulder. My body still ached in ways that made every step a reminder of the night before, but I kept my face neutral as I pushed through the gate. The field looked the same as always, guys warming up in small groups, the coach and his assistant barking occasional orders from the sidelines. But the energy was different. Something felt off. Ever since Carl said that quite a few of us on the team played for both sides or at least were curious about our sexuality, the easy banter had dried up. Even the group of guys who used to be tight friends now ignore each other to avoid gay allegations.Conversations stopped mid-sentence when I walked by. Everyone turned to look at me. And some looks even lingered a second too long. I used to feel like part of this group. Now I felt like the elephant in the room.Before everything started. When it was just me, Ethan, and my little crush, life o

  • Hockey Rivalry: Bed first, game later    Our first fight

    Daniel's POVI could barely walk the next morning. Every step sent a deep, aching reminder through my body. Even getting to the kitchen for a simple cup of coffee felt like a mission. My thighs burned, my ass was sore as hell, and I had to hold onto the wall for support more than once.Carl sat on the edge of the bed, watching me with an amused grin as I failed for the second time to bend down and pick up my pants.“Oh my gosh. Did I overwork you last night?” He burst into laughter, clearly enjoying himself. “I remember someone teasing me, daring me to go harder. Now look at you. Can’t even stand straight.”I shot him a glare. I wanted to jump across the bed and shut him up, but moving that fast was impossible right now. I forced myself to swallow the embarrassment and kept trying to reach for the pants.At that moment, my phone started ringing from across the room. It had been going off all night, but I had ignored every call. After the way Carl had worn me out, I was in no condition

  • Hockey Rivalry: Bed first, game later    Our first night together

    Carl Kōnoshima Akihiko's POVI was still chatting with Kane when Daniel finally came out of the house. We may not agree on a lot of things lately, but we both understood one truth: our grandfathers were cut from the same ruthless cloth. If we wanted any chance of putting them in their place, we had to stick together, at least for now.The moment I saw Daniel, my conversation with Kane died on my lips. He looked like he had just seen a ghost. His face was pale, his eyes glassy, and even from a distance I could see the tears slipping down his cheeks. He was not even trying to hide them. He moved like someone in a trance, steps mechanical, shoulders slumped under the weight of whatever had just happened inside that house.I was instantly on high alert. I scanned the area around us, looking for any sign of danger, but the street was quiet. That could only mean one thing, whatever broke him had come from inside his own home.“It is not my fault, is it?” I wondered aloud, the thought slippi

  • Hockey Rivalry: Bed first, game later    Family rejection

    Daniel's POVOur kiss was about to be deepened when I noticed a group of teenage boys heading our way and quickly pushed Carl back.“That is enough for now,” I whispered against his ear, giving his earlobe a light bite. “We will continue this later tonight.”Carl looked reluctant, but he pulled away. “You would make a great top,” he murmured, shaking his head with a disappointed sigh. “What a pity…”I frowned, confused. “What a pity?”“It is a pity that I will be the one shoving it into your asshole instead of the other way around,” he said with that mischievous smile of his that always made my stomach flip.I wanted to argue, but there was no time. My parents were probably already wondering where I was. I climbed out of the car and tried to steady my breathing. “We will talk about this later tonight, Top. I promise. Get some rest.”****I took a deep breath before stepping inside the house. Just as I expected, both my dads were already seated in the living room. Father (the gentler o

  • Hockey Rivalry: Bed first, game later    I'm tired, Daniel

    Daniel's POVI froze. When I finally recovered, I had to force myself to stay calm and keep my eyes on the road.“You have a crush on Kane…?” I murmured, the question slipping out quieter than I intended. My throat felt tight. I quickly signaled and pulled the car over onto the shoulder of the highway, tires crunching against gravel. The sudden stop made the seatbelt press harder against my chest.Carl’s eyes widened. He shook his head fast. “No, no. That is not what I meant. I meant before. What if I once had a crush on him? Back when we were kids?” He stammered through the words, looking a little panicked now.“Well, do you?” I asked, getting straight to it. There was no point dragging this out.Carl watched me for a second, then a small proud smile crept onto his face. “Are you jealous?” he whispered, clearly enjoying himself.“You are my boyfriend. Of course, I have every right to be jealous,” I replied, giving him an obvious look.Carl grinned like a little kid who had just won s

    Daniel's POVOur trip back to Canada was quiet for a while. We both had things occupying our minds. And although Carl didn't say it, I knew he was worried about Ethan's health, and Kane's acceptance.“Do you think he has woken up?” Carl finally asked.I glanced over at him from the driver’s seat, the highway lights streaking across his tense face. His fingers drummed restlessly on his knee, a habit he only fell into when he was trying not to fall apart.“I hope so,” I said quietly, keeping my voice steady for his sake. “The doctors said the surgery went well. If there were any complications, someone would’ve called by now.”Carl let out a breath that sounded too close to a sigh of relief.“You think Kane’s still there?” he asked after another stretch of silence.“Definitely.” I switched lanes, the tires humming steadily beneath us. “He hasn’t left Ethan’s side since we got the call. You know how he is. I mean he's like a brother to you after all.”That did the trick, and the smile on
