tw: mentions of abuse

the name carroll is synonymous with power and prestige ; it shouldn't be a surprise that it came with high expectations . from the moment archie was born , his father had a detailed path he was supposed to follow ; he was being groomed to take over the family empire , whether he wanted it or not .

he attended the right schools , had the right friendships , went to the right places , and never wanted for anything . to anyone , it would look like the perfect life , but behind closed door it was a different story . no amount of toys or international trips would make up for a mother who was too preoccupied with charity luncheons and society events to pay attention to her child , and a controlling and demanding father who would , at times , become physically and psychologically abusive in order to keep him in line .

archie learned early in life that appearances were what mattered the most , so he played the part . the  golden  boy  to  some ,  the  rich  asshole  to  others ,  it  was  easy  to  get  lost  in  what  people  expected  him  to  be .  walls  were  built  to  keep  from  everyone’s  eyes  all  the  parts  he  didn’t  want  them  to  see .  that  they  didn’t  need  to  know  —  the  doubts ,  the  frustrations ,  the  bruises .  and  when  he  needed  a  break  from  all  the  noise , he  found  his  peace  in  the  ice . 

through it all , he has always had hockey . of course , his father found a way to try to suck the fun out of that , too . always reminding archie of every mistake , a turn over suddenly the worst thing in the world , and a win nothing more than his obligation . but it was one thing that archie loved without any pretense , so he persevered and threw his all at it . he got the best coaches , attended every development camp and by the end of high school , he had a pile of offers .

choosing the university of michigan was easy ; it was harder to go against his father's wishes . carrolls attended ivy league schools , they don't waste their time with hobbies like hockey . in the end , he won that fight . he is on his senior year , a defenseman for the pioneers with a lot of attention from sports enthusiasts and a high projected draft pick . the ice is still where he feels like himself .

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘.

archie  has  a  loud  and  expansive  personality .  he  is  very  extroverted  and  loves attention .  he’s incredibly outgoing and has a knack for making people feel like they know him much better than they actually do .

sometimes  he  can  be  an  arrogant  jerk ,  but  he’s  not  that  bad  and  usually  feels  bad  when  he  knows  he  crossed  the  line .  he  and  his  parents  don’t  get  along ,  his  friends  are  his  family  and  he  cares   deeply  about  them  and  is  loyal  to  a  fault . 

he hates showing vulnerability , so even when things are going badly or he’s feeling down and worried , he’ll have a smile on his face and a joke to tell . despite being highly extroverted , he keeps his guard up when it comes to more serious matters .

archie is impulsive and always ready for a party or a little chaos . because he has a bit of a self-destructive streak , he doesn't think about the consequences for himself .

the  one  time  he  truly  stops  and  takes things seriously  is  when  he’s  playing  hockey .  he  practices  to  exhaustion  and  is  ridiculously  competitive . he’s  learned  from  his  dad  to  ask  too  much  of  himself .
