ログインThe next morning was good.Which was the weirdest and funniest part.Jade sat at the kitchen island, one elbow resting against the marble countertop as he watched Elliot move around the kitchen.Apparently, the man can cook.Annoyingly well.A frying pan flipped in Elliot's hand before landing perfectly back on the stove.Jade blinked."Show off""I've been cooking since I was fifteen"Jade said, rolling his eye"You're gonna set the kitchen on fire by flipping pans"Mojo sat at the corner, eating from his dog food and occasionally glaring at Jade.The smell of breakfast filled the Villa.It smelled expensive."So...are you sure about this?" Elliot asked, glancing over his shoulders."I wanna do this. I can't keep living like this I'm a grown man for fuck sake" Jade said.Elliot finally placed the pan on the cooker, allowing the egg to fry deeply well."At least try to talk to them. You can't just choose to move out without saying anything"Jade leans back against the stool."Why n
Jade stumbled back slightly, his back touching the wall. Neither of them seemed to care. The kiss deepened again before Elliot finally pulled back just enough to breathe. Both of them were breathing hard now. Jade stared at him in shock for half a second before laughing quietly under his breath. "Why did you stop?" "Are you sure you wanna do this right now?" Elliot rested his forehead briefly against his. He didn't even need to answer that. He had been yearning for this. He kissed Elliot who responded to the kiss. Elliot backed away slightly, still trying to catch his breath. Without breaking eye contact, he pulled his hoodie over his head and tossed it somewhere on the floor. Jade's gaze dropped for a second before returning to his face, his cheeks flushed. Elliot stepped closer again, one hand sliding to Jade's waist as he kissed him slowly this time, deeper, softer. Jade melted against him almost instantly. The room felt warmer. Elliot's lips traile
Elliot stepped into the building alone. The automatic doors slid shut behind him with a soft hiss. It was quiet. Good. Exactly how he liked it. His duffel bag hung loosely over his shoulder as he walked through the empty lobby, footsteps echoing. The lights were dimmed-late night settings. Almost everything had shut down hours ago. He lifted one hand and pressed his earbud slightly deeper into his ear. Sweather weather by The Neighbourhood played loudly. He exhaled slowly as he reached the elevator. He stepped inside and pressed the button for the top floor. As the doors slid shut, he leaned back against the wall, eyes shut, vibing to the song. Moments later, the elevator dinged. The doors opened and Elliot stepped out. He walked down the hallway, made a small turn and got to the gym which bad already been unlocked for him. He pushed them open. He froze the moment he stepped in. The gym wasn't empty. Elliot's brows furrowed slightly as he stepped further
Elliot rested his head against the car window, fingers tapping lightly against his hockey stick beside him.The drive home was quiet.But his mind was stucked somewhere else.Jade.The kiss.The way Jade kissed him back for half a second before shoving him away.Elliot let out a dry laugh."Bad idea" he muttered to himself.The driver glanced at him through the mirror but said nothing.Good.Elliot wasn't in the mood for conversations tonight.A few minutes later, the car finally pulled into the Lombardi's estate.Lights flowed dimly from inside the mansion.Perfect rich family mansion.Fake as hell.Elliot stepped out slowly, his duffel bag hanging over his shoulder before heading inside.He shut the door behind him as he stepped in."Holy shit, you look terrible"Elliot looked up immediately.His step brother, Adrian leaned against the staircase railing holding a bowl of cereal despite it being late.Elliot scoffed."Nice to see you too""Why are you still up?"Adrian shrugged, taki
For a second. Jade kissed him back. Then reality slammed into him. Jade shoved Elliot away hard. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" he snapped, breathing hard. Elliot looked just as shocked as him. "Jade..." "No! This...this is exactly why everything gets complicated when you're around" Jade said, shaking his head. Elliot stayed silent. Jade laughed bitterly, grabbing his gloves aggressively from the bench. "You think kissing me suddenly fixes whatever the hell this is?" "That's not what I..." "You don't get to do that. You don't get to walk into my life every few years and mess with my head like this." Jade said sharply. Silence. "Stay the fuck away from me" Jade said, before walking out angrily with his helmet and stick. Elliot remained there, breathing hard, the taste of Jade still fresh on his lips. Jade walked straight back toward the rink. His heart was still pounding violently against his chest. He could still feel Elliot's lips on his and som
Tonight it was Titans vs. Super eagles. The arena was louder than usual. Fans filled the massive rink, lights flashing across the crowd as chants echoed through the arena. Jerseys waved everywhere, cameras flashing every few seconds. Back in the locker room, it was tense. Some players were quiet while others hyped themselves up before the match. Jade's eyes fell on Elliot who was laughing about something Phil had said. Their eyes locked and Elliot smirked. Jade looked away first. Coach Declan stepped into the room. "Alright, listen up!" Everyone went quiet immediately. "The eagles are gonna be aggressive tonight. They are always aggressive but I trust you all to stay sharp and trust each other out there" His eyes scanned the whole room. "Riccio and Lombardi. I want your heads fully in this game tonight" Jade straightened slightly. "Yes, Coach" "Good. Now, get out there" The team slowly rise to their feet, grabbing their helmets and sticks. Tyler b
By the time the training finally wrapped up, it was evening already. It lasted longer than it should have. Tyler adjusted his bag over his shoulder as the two stepped out of the rink. "I'm gonna give myself a nice hot bath when I get home" he said. Jade smirked slightly. They both needed t
The next day, the rink was filled with kids of different ages, all in oversized jerseys and gears, running around the ice.Some were skating properly. Some just keep falling off their skates as they were trying to steady their balance. Some were chasing puck around the ice with no directions.It wa
The next evening, the drive to Coach Declan's house was quiet.Too quiet.Jade sat back on his seat, inside the car, one arm resting against the door, his gaze fixed outside. His reflection stared back at him in the glass.His jaw was tight.From the driver's seat, his manager fiancée at him br
"Don't touch him" Elliot said, his voice low and dangerous. The crowd roared chaosly, across the rink.The ref blows the whistle sharply."Hey! Break it up!" He skated in fast, squeezing himself between them as other players started crowding in.Santamario held his jaw, eyes burning.Jade's chest
