#mistone

WOWIE. great ask!

toff is automatically skeptical of anyone around his (billet) son, even if he says he’s not. do not believe him. but yeah, most people get a little stamp of approval pretty quickly. zayne is an upstanding young man, spence seems great, even porter mantone (despite his sin of being a flyer) seems generally okay— actually he’s a little skeptical there. toff’s real issue is the fact it’s sam dickinson of all people thats sniffing around misa and the fact misa likes it and also the fact it’s so blatantly in his face.

toff KNOWS sam is an idiot, has witnessed it in all its glory, so he knows that his hands should be no where near misa’s waist or his face or his body at all. and even saying that, toff could probably look past his idiot goof nature if sam was a little nicer to misa. but toff is completely bias about that, sam is nice to misa, softens up around him and knows where to poke and where not to prod. toff just really hates that sam’s main way of talking to misa is through bullying, even if misa is laughing, and he really hates that sam pushes him around so much. they’ll be on break during practice and toff has to watch sam press misa into the boards seven different times, or them wrestle in his living room, or sam shove misa around in the locker room. just for once, toff would like to see misa genuinely hit him back, not the light taps he throws out in half assed retaliation.

Minty, being the good boyfriend that he is, is obviously updating Bedsy about the things going on at worlds, including the weird shift in tension between Samtone.

Bedsy is the person you need in every good gossip circle that flat out asks people about the rumours going around. Minty and him are an incredibly gossip-y couple, they love to talk about other peoples business and they will beat a dead horse until it comes back to life again, but Minty is much more reserved in how he acquires his gossip.

At some point after Sam and Misa join the Child-Captain-Canada-Training-Camp Mack has started the whole group is together (in a bar or on someone's couch) and Bedsy just turns to Sam and asks him what's up with him and Porter Martone. Sam insists that everything is fine because he can't exactly explain that he fucked the guy over not being able to fuck his crush who's currently sitting in his lap next to him. Bedsy is nothing but persistent because he's nosy as fuck and now everyone wants to know what's up with Sam and Marty, especially Misa because Marty's his friend and he wants all of his friends to be friends with each other. Sam doesn't break though, he insists that everything is fine.

A few days later they're at a bar and Mack's playing pool with Misa while Bedsy, Minty, Kindy and Sam are at a table. Everyone's a bit tipsy so Bedsy tries again because he's not leaving Van without this piece of gossip and Sam actually spills the beans that he hooked up with Marty but tells them that it was just casual, no deeper reason behind it.

Kindy just kind of sits there in shock because wtf? he didn't know Marty hooked up with NHL players other than him?? (He definitely isn't getting attached to Marty, what gave you that idea?). Kindy's now also considerably more red than at the start of this conversation, so Minty asks him if he's good and Kindy just nods, very much not okay.

misa is completely oblivious to the fact that some flyer is breathing down his neck, waiting for his chance, vibrating in his skin and too big feelings for him. sam knows. he takes one look at marty standing in the flyer parking garage just to say bye to misa before he gets on the bus, and he knows. all the vague jokes and puppy dog following around from the canada U-17s suddenly clicks into place and sam is Very aware that misa is accidentally one foot into a situationship with porter martone

of course, sam isn’t going to say anything about that bc it’ll just make misa awkward around the poor guy, and on the off chance that somehow misa being aware that marty has a crush on him changes things, then sam wants to keep that to himself. not saying anything is a hard though bc sam can only stare down misa in the parking lot as he nods along to whatever marty is rambling about while standing a little too close. he only feels a sort of bad about it when marty asks if misa wants to get dinner and misa immediately invites sam to come…. only a little bad bc well, sam is his guy and marty is not gonna to change that!

like you're sam dickinson, you get picked for team canada, play in the exhibition games and do well, and before the tournament actually starts here come fuckass porter, fresh out of the playoffs you just narrowly missed, porter martone who has a debilitating crush on YOUR mikey misa and just will. not. budge on this unrequited love. he didn't have anything against the guy back in juniors, even played on team canada together before this, but now?? now it's personal

so you're two guys with unresolved tension with ample free time in an european country, getting drunk on the streets of switzerland and (allegedly) going to strip clubs... let's just say a little hate proxy-fucking never hurt no one! porter gets a part of misa and sam gets to put the flyer in his place! a win-win situation that they'll never talk about again. the first time they play against the flyers the next season misa can tell something is off, he just can't put his finger on what exactly tho

HMMM HMM HMM indeed!!!!

really enchanted with the idea that their proxy hate sex is awkward and bad and solves absolutely nothing but makes sam think he DEFINITELY can’t let this guy get close to misa because he’s a bad lay! and meanwhile porter is even more torn up by the big awkward energy that is san jose now… he sort of figured that hooking up with sam would do a couple things for him, 1) fix his misa issues by getting just that little bit closer to having him even if it’s in a strange roundabout way, 2) clear up the uncertainty behind what’s going on between sam and misa, and 3) get off in an enjoyable way. none of these things are accomplished

sam absolutely does not want to talk about what happened in switzerland, not the being scratched repeatedly, not the lost medal, and certainly not porter mantone. unluckily, denver fucking barkey (ex london knight and now flyer) finds out about this and now sam is fighting against weird confused energy from misa, porter martone in general, and barkey laughing at him. flyers v sharks games have never been more uncomfortable!

look at them being cute! but also these:

Porter used to play on the Mississauga (now Brampton) Steelheads for three (two and a half) seasons with Luke Misa and they were on the top line together (for at least some of it).

So, in terms of Mistone he's not only crushing on his fellow Canadian, very good hockey player Michael Misa, but also his teammate's brother. He really does seem to be more obsessed with Mike than with Luke (based on Insta interactions).

I'm totally here for Porter "Big Feelings" Martone absolutely crushing on Mike and being a bit of an overexcited puppy about it. Misa is very oblivious to this all, he's having fun so there's nothing to think about, really. The people around them do notice Marty's crush and try to rein him in a bit because it's a bit ridiculous how he's behaving.

SOUR is the BC-line-breakup album (specifically from Leno's perspective)

'my way' is mack about BC-line

'drop dead' is obviously willmack

'Bad Idea Right?' and 'get him back!' are my Kintone anthems (fight me)

'ballad of a homeschooled girl' would be Misa if he was any less oblivious

dare i say 'love is embarrassing' is Marty about Misa (pushing the onesided mistone here and also samisa)

'teenage dream' is just macklin ('brutal' too)
