Remember how I said my job was absolutely stepping itās pussy up for a couple weeks? Well thatās become true to the degree that Iām being temporarily transferred to the way bigger site for a while (Iāve been given 3 days notice to when Iāve gotta be there). Lowkey has me in a panic so enjoy whatever this is:
(And if youāve seen this before, I sent parts of this as an anonymous post a couple months ago on a blog that no longer exists)
Imagine Connor and Fraser have very few people āin the knowā when it comes to the hockey world. Thereās so much room for a leak or someone accidentally implying things or who even knows what. Thereās a couple teammates that know, coaches know, families know, and thatās about it. This leads to lots of hilarity for those that do know as they get to watch them tiptoe around it at every turn.
- āHey, Beds, why are you wearing a Bruins hoodie?ā āWell, weāre in Boston and I want to go to the store. Not really my smartest move to go decked out in Blackhawks gear the morning of a game now, is it?ā āā¦okay, but like, where did you even get that?ā āNot important.ā
- āMinty, you coming out with us tonight?ā āSorry guys, no can do.ā āAww, come on Man! Just a couple drinks?ā āIāve got better things to do actually.ā āPlease, like what?ā āLike spending a lovely weekend with some peace and quiet on my couch.ā āDoing what?ā āNo clue yet, just relaxing for a while, now, if youāll excuse me, Iāve got something very time sensitive to do on the way home.ā āā¦.ā (Like 20 minutes later) āwhy the fuck is his Life360 at the airport?ā
- āConnor! Your phoneās been blowing up for like 10 minutes!ā āProbably my parents. They said theyād watch the game so they probably saw that fall.ā āBro, itās not them, youāre not gonna believe whoās calling.ā āWho?ā āMinten, Boston Minten.ā āOh, thatās not surprising.ā āThe fuck you mean thatās not surprising?ā āHeās probably making sure Iām not dead so heās still got his Vancouver apartment buddy.ā āHow would he even know you got hurt-ā āDonāt you ever watch your friendsā games on a night we donāt play?ā āNo!!ā āMaybe you should start. āMight help your defense.ā
- āHoly Fuck, what beast did you take to bed??ā āWhat?ā āMinten, buddy, Fraser, your back is ripped to shreds, no need to play dumb.ā āOh, oh yeah that, well, I, uhhā¦ā āWhen did you even have time to find one, we literally got back from Chicago last night. Unless you⦠no-ā āAh, you know Chicago. Never sleeps.ā āIsnāt that New York?ā āYeah, right, anyway-ā
- āConnor.ā āYes?ā āConnor.ā āWhat?ā āGot anything to share with the class?ā āWhat are you talking about.ā āThe thing.ā āCome on, man. What thing?ā āThe scarf.ā āIām cold?ā āConnor, itās May.ā āSo? Itās a Chicago May. Itās cold today and Iāll be sweating my ass off tomorrow.ā (After he leaves the room) ādid he seriously think that was covering up all those hickeys?ā āProbably. I donāt know how though. Looked more like⦠no, ew, I donāt wanna say that, ew.ā āWhat? now you gotta tell me!ā āSome of them looked more like fingerprints than hickeys. Iāve accidentally left marks like that on my girl before when she was⦠ew, ew, no, absolutely not thinking of Bedsy like that!!ā
