Anon, I owe you my life

I miss them too! Date night in SLC only made the wounds reopen 😭

I like to mess with dynamics and change things up so I don't have very many strict headcanons, but there are a couple that I can never get rid of.

John pays for everything Luke said into a microphone on television that he never has to spend money and the only thing he bought for himself was his car. Many (correctly) assume he's saying that Jack pays for everything because they live together and Jack makes way more money than he does, I choose to believe that it's an everyone on the team thing, and especially a John thing. He probably started doing it without either of them realizing it meant anything either until someone points it out to them, or maybe John sees someone else spoiling Luke and he gets jealous. So then he starts doing it on purpose and Luke still may or may not notice because he's a spoiled brat so he's just like "yes this is the correct way of things. everyone should be giving me presents all of the time."

Somehow this one was the hardest one, not because I don't have feelings about it but because I have TOO MANY! I don't even know if this is what I meant to write when I started lmao

My curly haired boys 🥹🥰

Every guy John had ever been with had been weird about his hair. Always wanting to touch his curls and giving unsolicited advice on how to care for them. It generally annoyed him. Okay his hair was curly, it’s not like it was something he did on purpose. 

He gets it now, lying in bed on a lazy day-off morning.

Looking at Luke’s curls, fanned out on his pillowcase, practically glowing in the sunlight like a halo, John wants to run his hands through them so much that they lose their curl and lie flat against his head. He wants to massage Luke’s scalp until he falls asleep with his head in John’s lap. He wants to grip them tight while they kiss, or fuck, or when Luke is on his knees in front of him.

He wants to wake up and see those curls laid out on his pillow every morning for the foreseeable future.

“I love you,” he says, having not fully processed the thought but 100% sure of the conviction behind it.

It's been a long time since John has had someone regularly in his bed; must have been back in college, there were a couple boyfriends who stuck around long enough to get comfortable in his space before deciding that they really couldn't deal with his focus being on hockey most of the time.

Being with Luke was so different in every way, not the least bit because John was allowed, encouraged even, to talk about hockey all the time with both Luke and his entire family; a family who had been surprisingly welcoming to the quote unquote veteran dating their 20 year old son; he probably had Jack to thank for that, must have put a good word in.

He still woke up in the night a couple times a week, startled by the presence of someone else in his bed, some nights he would jump enough to rouse his partner, Luke would pull him closer and mumble nonsense in a vaguely soothing voice trying to lure John back to sleep; it would be stupid if it didn't work most of the time.

John's favorite nights were when he woke up slowly and silently enough to get himself all the way conscious without waking Luke, that way he could take his time to just look at him.
