i feel like u still owe me one of these things too u_u

1. How do they fall asleep? Wake up? Any daily rituals?

Bergy can fall asleep anywhere. Marchy claims to be light sleeper, but one time he fell asleep on the plane and the rookies drew on his feet, so whatever, Brad. On road trips, Marchy sometimes knocks on Bergy’s door all, “What’s up,” and sometimes it’s SportsCenter and chill, but sometimes a few people are hanging out shooting the shit and that’s alright too. Most times, the two of them really are just chilling and watching SportsCenter, especially after a game, completely drained and not having much to say to each other. It’s just that Marchy gets restless when he’s in a room alone. If it’s a bad game, Bergy finds himself waiting for the knock, for Marchy’s small tired “Yoooo”. Bergy’d let him in and they zone out watching the talking heads yelling about football on the TV. “Shoulda run the ball,” Marchy might say. A few seconds, Bergy replies, “Not on this defense.” A few minutes later, Marchy asks, “Can I have your minibar Toblerone? I ate mine.” “Sure.” Desultory and ponderous and entirely comfortable. Roll over one way and close your eyes and drift off, or roll over the other way and see how he responds to you biting his shoulder and nuzzling his neck. Marchy ends up falling asleep in Bergy’s bed either way. 

22. Does their work ever interfere with the relationship?

Most of the time, work is the relationship, so it kind of penetrates each other in weird ways. When Bergy goes into ‘A’ mode, Marchy sits back and watches, feeling trusted and self-contained, and maybe a little arrogant with it. Patrice Bergeron’s right-hand man, that’s him. One of the league’s beloved players, and then there’s him. Marchy’s friendship with Torey and Kells are 70% pissing contests, but when Bergy asks him to do something, he obeys more often than not. He forgets to be cutting. Nothing to perform, nothing to defend, nothing to hide.  

Plus, Bergy is like the only one who genuinely thinks he’s funny. That’s rare, so Marchy’s going to hang on to him.

5. Nicknames? Pet names? Any in-jokes? 

 Loui called Chris Kelly ‘storebror’ in front of Carl, and Kells was all “what is that, what does that mean” and tried to get Siri to translate it but he couldn’t get the accent right. Carl laughed, which pleased Loui, and they both started calling Kells ‘storebror’. (”I asked Sveddy,” Kells said. “I thought it was gonna be something worse. Who taught you to chirp?”)

10. Who drives? Cooks? Does the handiwork? Cleans? Pays the bills? Handles the public? 

Neither of them want to handle the public, and have resorted to rock-paper-scissors before. They take turns cooking, but Carl is the more experimental of the two, all like “I found this recipe on the internet,” and Loui is all [apprehensive look]. The question of who drives depends on where they are. Loui foists off all city driving on Carl, but will speed down an open highway if he thinks he can get away with it. Handiwork-wise, they would both prefer to call someone who knows better, but sometimes Loui thinks, “Oh, all it needs is one tweak” and then ends up obsessed with it until it gets fixed or completely destroyed. “I told you,” Carl’d say, if it breaks, and then Loui sulks for a while.

11. What are their dates like? How long do/did they date? Do they ever feel the need to take a break from each other?

at 18 yrs old, he was the youngest player in the nhl during the 2014-15 season, and his 1st goal and 2nd goal came during the same game. he was THIS CLOSE to getting a hat trick. 

when pasta was a baby playing baby hockey, his favorite player was david krejci, who is a fellow czech and ALSO A BRUIN. AND THEN PASTA GOT DRAFTED INTO THE SAME TEAM AS HIS IDOL, then not only did they play together, they were on the same line. he was on krejci’s wing when he scored his first nhl goal. living the fucking dream.

“It was unreal when David Krejci messaged me over the phone after I was drafted. He just wrote me ‘congrats buddy, I hope to see you at camp and we’re going to have fun.’ I didn’t know what to say to him because I was in paradise. I just said ‘thank you’, and it will be great to meet him.” (x) 

“I have a Czech buddy.” -Krejci. i could show you a normal picture of krejci, but why do that i can show you a horrendous draft year photo of him having the most 2004 hair ever

david and naomi krejci appear to have adopted him

showed up to devcamp with no equipment except his skates. lost his passport. kept falling over so much that the beat writers made a storyline and kept count of how many times he fell. dropped his helmet during the national anthem and ended up chasing it across the ice. 

he is everybody’s little brother. just a wee guy.

chirps the vets, gives no shit.

what a little shit

this tattoo

co-parents a playstation with malcolm subban. i think in bro parlance that means it’s forever, even if malcolm does beat him at therapeutic bike racing. 

used to room with dougie hamilton on the road and i’m under the impression dougie just trolled pasta 24/7. pasta was into it though. like, really into it. SMILEY BABIES.

dougie on pasta: “He’s doing everything right. I’m just happy to have him here and hang out with him. It’s been a quick friendship that we’ve been able to make. It’s been fun to play with him and hang out with him.” well, that’s so great that they’ve found each otheorhioehariufjndkajfsdkfhk

played hockey in sweden before coming over stateside. this is great, not because he learned to improve his game and to be independent, but because we have been gifted with this cribz-esque video of him showing us around his swedish digs. lol the cameraman’s fascination with pasta doing the dishes. also THE NOTES FROM HIS MOM AAAWWWWW

his bff from this time, who is now in the leafs system, is actual ken doll william nylander. in addition to being pretty good at hockey, they are also great at not understanding personal space. what is it? how is it done? shrug emoticon.

cellies hard 

breaking off from this ridiculous celly to show the goalie some love

got chided by mama bear looch for holding this pose too long. pasta said it was so the photographers could take pictures. well, it worked. “you guys don’t even look happy when you score,” he said to them, so i guess he was putting on a clinic for their benefit. 

then he tweeted this.

#I MISS YOU SFM TOO DUDE OH MY GOD#it me!#it us! IHC FAM RIDES OFF INTO THE SUNSET
