Chase and the feelings of isolation in the middle of a crowded room. And mental illness.

It's more fantabby au

YAYYY

Podium Race 3

"I love you." Karly mumbles against Aatu's knuckles. His eyes are blurry with sleep as Aatu just smiles and combs fingers through his hair. The movie's volume has been lowered enough where it's hardly a whisper brushing against their ears.

"I love you." Aatu gasps into Victor's ear, breath heavy and stuttered. Victor whines and arches his back more, hands reaching out to make contact with Aatu's arms. A soft laugh escapes them both as he nearly falls against Victor, balance stumbling in the haste to get closer. It's worth to see his smile.

"I love you!" Victor shouts as Ty jumps into his arms. He stumbles backwards, back hitting his stall and them both nearly going down in a heap of limbs. The laughter is contagious as they hear the chuckles from around them. Victor buries his face in Ty's curls, arms holding a little tighter. It feels like home.

"I love you…" Ty whispers to Bainsy. Arshdeep sighs and presses their foreheads together, hands linking under the lowlight of the plane. He looks like he's about to say something before his mouth closes, bringing Ty closer into a hug. It can wait.

"Y'know I love you." Bainsy says casually to Arty. He bumps their shoulders together, gear causing a soft thud in doing so. Arty rolls his eyes, bumping back before settling down in his stall. The warm feeling that spreads over his chest stays, and by Arshdeep's smirk, he knows too.

"I love you." Artūrs tells Christian as they celebrate the latest win. The others have already done their goalie bonks as it forces itself out of his chest and mouth. He watches as Wolly's eyes widen before a large smile breaks out and he's pulled into a bear hug. They rock slightly on the ice as his head is cradled gently against his chest. Even if it's a little uncomfortable.

"I love you." Wolly confesses to Chase. The only light is the moon that streaks through the window, barely illuminating the two. Chase's shoulder sag, tension leaking out like a flat tire. There's more to be said, to be talked about. He knows he can't avoid it for much longer, but it was all still so new. Though he knows he can be a good leader too.

"I love you!" Chase screams towards the sea of fans. His whole body is covered by the others, surrounded by those he loves and who love him and each other back. It's loud and joyous and the tears that make their way onto the ice aren't uncommon. Warmth blooms from within and he can't help but yell once more, voice mixing with the crowd.

What if Watty was a robot and Christian really wanted to stick his fingers in his wires and also they're lowkey both little assholes but also in some sort of relationship slash situation

Chase pulls Dino close, enjoying the warmth his hug brings in the cooling night, "It's nice to see you alive." She pulls back but doesn't let go of his hands,

"Can't get rid of me," Dino's eyes glance around the camp, quieter than usual, "Everyone not in yet? I can't see your guard dogs."

"They're…" There's a loud curse from Max that interrupts her. Looking over they can see Linus rush over and grab his hand gently, "Christian got sent on something else and Jett is out. For awhile."

"Dude," She watches Dino's brows furrow a bit, "Is it your parents?" A watery laugh escapes Chase's mouth as she shakes her head,

"This fucking prophecy. Apparently Wolly was a distraction and I'm pretty sure it's my fault Jett's cursed right now." Her hands are squeezed gently before Dino reaches up to ruffle her hair, cut shorter since last he's seen,

"Well, you have me until they come back. Because they will come back, it's only a matter of time."

Christian nearly stumbles over his feet the first time he meets Chase. It gets a chuckle out of him and Christian swears he feels his stomach swirl,

"Hope you're not that clumsy on the ice," There's a twinkle in Chase's eye as he speaks, "Can't have our defense falling over."

"I gotta get out all my stumbles now before I hit the ice." He knows he's grinning, maybe more than usual. Chase laughs something low that makes Christian's cheeks heat up despite himself.

Part of him wants to start this whole interaction over again. Part of him kind of wants to kiss Chase just to see if he could shock him,

"Are you busy after practice? We were gonna head out for a group dinner to start off the pre-season."

Christian nearly trips over his words as he nods, "Yeah! Yeah, I'm free."

It gets another smile out of Chase and a "Great." before he pats Christian's arm and heads into the dressingroom.

Chase laughs loudly as Sammy pulls him close, nearly lifting him off his feet. The whole dressingroom was buzzing after a win, loud music and cheers echoing off the walls. He presses his forehead against Sammy's, letting their giggles mingle, before he's pulled away and into the arms of Danila,

"Watty!" A kiss is planted against the side of his head as he grins, "Amazing work!" Chase can only pull him into a better kiss that more teeth and smiles. Danila gives him another quick kiss before shoving him back, legs stumbling until he's caught in the arms of Jett,

"They tossing you around?" He manuevers Chase until the're facing each other,

"Not my fault they're all animals." There's still a wide smile on his face, cheeks hurting from it,

"Calling me an animal too?" Chase shakes his head and leans against Jett's shoulder,

"Unless you give me a reason." Jett kisses him on the head and holds him tighter,
