Carl's POV

“What’s eating me up? Isn’t it obvious?” Daniel’s voice dropped to a whisper, like he was scared the rest of the bar might hear. “I don’t want you to switch teams.”

I wasn’t surprised. I’d suspected that was the real fear underneath all his anger. Still, hearing him say it out loud was different. I leaned in a little closer across the small booth, the sticky table between us forgotten.

    Carl's POV“What’s eating me up? Isn’t it obvious?” Daniel’s voice dropped to a whisper, like he was scared the rest of the bar might hear. “I don’t want you to switch teams.”I wasn’t surprised. I’d suspected that was the real fear underneath all his anger. Still, hearing him say it out loud was different. I leaned in a little closer across the small booth, the sticky table between us forgotten.“Daniel, who do you think will be the first openly gay couple in hockey?” I asked, catching him completely off guard.He furrowed his brows, confused. “How the hell is that related to what we’re talking about?”I didn’t answer right away. I held his gaze, waiting for his response. The noise of the bar: clinking glasses, low laughter from the remaining teammates, faded into the background. After a long pause, he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.“I don’t know. You’re already one of the first openly gay players, so… maybe you’ll get that too,” he said with a grimace, like the words tasted

  • Hockey Rivalry: Bed first, game later    Second rivals

    Daniel's POVI stepped back into the bar after a quick smoke outside, the hazy air and low music hitting me all at once. My eyes landed on Carl and Derrick talking in the corner. At first I thought they were having another one of their usual arguments, but then Derrick put his hands on Carl’s shoulders, and Carl… he was smiling. Actually smiling.“What the fuck is going on?” I muttered under my breath, blood boiling as I stormed over.Jealousy hit me like a truck. The only thing running through my head was punching Derrick so hard he’d never see straight again. How fucking dare he? For years that asshole bullied Ethan and me, throwing slurs around like confetti even when he wasn’t sure about our sexuality. Now the whole world knows about his own messy shit, and he’s trying to cozy up to Carl? Pathetic.“Yo, Derrick!” I snarled, cocking my fist back to smash it into his face.Before I could land the hit, a strong hand grabbed my arm, stopping me. I turned my head slowly. It was Carl.“

  • Hockey Rivalry: Bed first, game later    Meeting family

    Ethan Oliver Harrison's POV“When she says it like that, it does sound scary. His parents don’t bite, right? Why the overdramatic warning then?”Those thoughts raced through my head as Shula spoke. She was genuinely sweet, but everything she kept saying about Kane’s parents sounded too unbelievable, and way too terrifying.I didn’t voice any of it in front of her. I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, so I grabbed Kane’s hand and dragged him toward the washroom instead.“What is going on?” I asked the second we were alone. “Did you tell Shula to scare the shit out of me? Because it’s really working.”Kane furrowed his eyebrows. “What? Why would I do that?” He paused, rubbing his chin. “Look, my family has always been horrible to Shula. I don’t think she’s trying to scare you on purpose. She’s just worried. If she doesn’t warn you about what my life is really like, my parents might hurt you.”He took a step closer. I instinctively moved back.“I like how you dragged me. It was so hot and

    Kane Hau Alexander's POVWe drove straight to my New York apartment the second the plane landed. Ethan had been unusually quiet the whole ride. I figured it was because of Geneva, but I didn’t have any comforting words that wouldn’t sound fake, so I kept my mouth shut and stared out the window, trying to focus on what came next.“Your mansion looks… different,” Ethan said once we stepped out of the car.I hummed. “Someone’s making changes without consulting the owner,” I muttered under my breath.The place was covered in ribbons and balloons. And right there in front, an apology banner flapped in the breeze like some kind of bad joke.Ethan raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t plan a party, did you?” he asked, reading the banner.“What?” I stammered. Heat rushed up the back of my neck as I quickly waved a couple of workers over. “Take that down. All of it. Now.”*Why the hell is this happening right now? Who the fuck decided to do this without asking me? Are they trying to broadcast to my

    Carl's POVIt would be a lie to say everything had gone back to normal, because nothing felt normal anymore. Not the way my new teammates treated each other like strangers, not the way Daniel kept acting so strangely around me.“What do you mean he’s gone?” I asked my aunt, phone pressed to my ear as I stepped away from the noisy bar.“His mother told me she can’t get a hold of him!” her stern voice blared through the speaker. “Your grandfather also mentioned he hasn’t seen much of you lately. What is going on, Carl? Why are you in Canada?”I stayed quiet for a moment, guilt twisting in my chest. I’d been so wrapped up in my own mess: the team drama, Daniel, everything with Kane, that I’d completely forgotten to check in with the family.“I’ll contact Grandfather and explain everything. Don’t worry,” I said quickly, ending the call before she could fire off more questions.“Who was that? Your girlfriend?” Daniel asked when he came out of the bathroom, wiping his hands on his jeans.We

    Ethan Oliver Harrison's POV“Catherine, if my parents come back, don’t bother arguing with them. Just tell them to message me. I don’t want you getting hurt because of me again,” I said after we exchanged goodbyes.Catherine nodded, but I knew she wasn’t really listening. When had she ever listened when it came to my parents or danger?“I thought you said you only got a day off? Why are you leaving town so soon?” Nate asked, eyeing both Kane and me suspiciously from his seat beside Catherine. “We still have over ten hours. There are some things I’d like to discuss with you.”“Hmm,” I stammered, suddenly at a loss.Catherine burst into laughter when she noticed my struggle. “Don’t bother your brother, Nathan. He’s probably planning to book a hotel room and spend the whole day in his man’s arms,” she teased, faking a pitiful look. “I’m not as important as his boyfriend, apparently.”My eyes widened. “Catherine?!”“What?” She blinked at me innocently, batting her lashes.I didn’t say any
