(by ‘like Carey Price’ I have interpreted as ‘all the awards/medals’)
By the time Anton lands in Montreal, he hasn’t sorted out how he feels. Shitty, as they say, but that was a given. What he really hasn’t sorted out is how he feels about Vinnie right now, about the gold hanging around his neck, gold they took on Russian soil. Mostly he’s wary of how he’ll react when he sees Vinnie. Vincent.
Carrying gold home to Canada, him and Pointedexter. The fans will love it.
Anton has no time to adjust. Ten seconds in practice and Vinnie is hopping in, ignoring the slightly sarcastic applause to stick his face in the crook of Anton’s neck. “You’re still my favourite defenceman,” he coos, and then wanders off, and Anton ignores the way the back of his neck feels hot.
Derek Malik Nursey has been saving the joke ‘Poindorkster’ for months and is waiting for the perfect time to use it
Whiskey says it first. Quietly during a post-kegster clean up and everyone thinks it’s the funniest shit. Dex even laughs. Derek Malik Nurse struggles to not explode but he can’t because he’s CHILL.
ok but like everyone in the team being lowkey Highkey Jealous of tango because he’s one of the few people that can get introverted whiskey to be rly engaged in a conversation (one time they watched as whiskey excitedly talks to tango about Something and INTERRUPTS HIM!!! interrupts TANGO who is asking questions 24/7 25/8 what in the God Damnd Hell…)
so like they Try So Hard to get on whiskey’s “good side” like ya bet ur ass Bitty and Rans and Holster and Lardo and everyone’s linin up to ask whiskey about his day and his classes and stuff but….. their conversations don’t Click with whiskey but then tango comes in and whiskey’s like “!!!!! tony hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” and everyone slouches their shoulders in Defeat. Fuckin RIP the Samwell Mens Hockey Team u stood no chance with my boy tony
im glad we’ve established that whiskey is Fucking Gay,
waddabout whiskey getting a crush on dex… with his soft hair and freckles and secret shy smile that he tries to hide but is actually adorable……..
dex having not one but TWO chill assholes to deal with RIP poindexter
but Whiskey isn’t shy about what he wants and let’s Dex know by giving him a look over and a wink and resumes his chill
RIP IN FUCKING PIECES. nursey not so subtlely fumes from where he’s sitting next to dex, scoots closer. dex is already red and flustered, looks over at nursey, who is now Very Close and Looking at him. looks away, even MORE red and flustered. whiskey and nursey passive aggressively flirting with dex around each other, except whiskey is cool about it while nursey clumsily stumbles over his words, and his feet, and dex’s feet honestly how is he an ncaa athlete.
but let’s not forget that nursey is the clumsy one! except now he’s doing this shit on purpose. always bumping into whiskey and spilling things on him and always going “oops” with the most outrageous deadpan look on his face and meanwhile whiskey just tries to outchill him with breakfast/lunch/dinner dripping from his hair
oh fuck i didnt even think about nursey spilling stuff on whiskey lmao thank u. geez these boys needa calm down, i dont wanna assume anything about the taddies positions but i dont think whiskey and nursey will be on the ice together enough to Have Problems there. but bitty or r&h will probably confront them about why theyre so salty anyway. team bond and such. nursey avoids the question, then decides he has a uhh paper to finish. whiskey straight up starts on how nursey needs to chill, he’s not dex’s fucking keeper. and thats when they realize……. that whiskey and nursey are Fighting over a Boy…… like fucking high school students…. r&h dont know whether to laugh or do the Captainly thing and have a stern talk about maturity and communication. so they do both. at the same time.
i really love the idea that when cool, calm, collected whiskey joins the group nursery is like hell yeah this is my boy. we will Chill™. but also he can help me piss off dex because dex is cute when he’s mad and his face goes all red because dex is the worst and needs to learn how to Chill. but then when nursery tries to find whiskey he finds him with. dex. and they’re both just. Chilling™. they’re sitting outside under a tree doing homework together and talking softly and sharing laughs and nursery finally loses his (carefully constructed) chill
listen….. in one of our first ‘australian wildlife biology’ lectures we had a PhD student talk to us about their work on freshwater fish in the kimberley….. they literally got attacked by a crocodile there’s a photo of them grinning and one has a bandage wrapped around his head….. just fucking smiling all serene… dex is basically steve irwin and nursey is smitten
ok but..dex…in all khaki…and gross boots… who knows all these bizarre tricks to fend off mosquitoes who says “fuckin oath, mate” once a week…Nursey loves him.
has the photo of dex grinning with the bandage on his head as his lock screen.
Dex sees a hot guy and says ‘crikey, that’s a good lookin’ fella’. Nursey’s brain actually breaks. Partially because did Dex just come out to him??? and also partially because oh no is this a kink oh no oh no oh no
I’m kinkshaming Nursey tbh, he deserves it.
he can peel 5 prawns in 30 seconds and nursey is just mesmerised by dex’s hands he doesn’t even care they’re covered in prawn guts
I FOUND THE PHOTO have you ever seen anything more ridiculous LOOK THIS IS CHOWDER AND DEX JUST HAPPY TO BE THERE
just moving along like everyone else
