This Is A Scott Hunter Truther Account

François Arnaud Birthday Bash 2026 | Day 3: Free Choice

I distinctly remember a bunch for teachers/professors, for authors, directors, and various public figures.

I just know queer 2017 youtube would absolutely have made a video of hundreds of hockey fans holding up posters thanking Scott Hunter for: being brave / being you / showing us everyone belongs in hockey / etc. Posters with notes, drawings of Scott, of the kiss, most of it shaded in rainbow colours.

(I imagine the song is a slow version of freedom by george michael but honestly take your pick, there’s so many good choices)

Kip sees it first on his feed and shows it to Scott while they’re cuddling on the couch. “I know it’s cheesy, but it’s sweet, right?”

Kip looks up halfway through, expecting to see Scott smiling but is instead met with tears on his boyfriend’s cheeks. Kip asks if he’s okay and Scott just huffs a breath and wraps an arm around Kip, adjusting the phone so they can both watch better.

This hug is what gets me. Look at how Scott holds Kip here, pulling him in so close (almost like he's afraid Kip will slip away) but also so freaking happy and free. Pure, unfiltered joy, and I am 1000% here for it.

Pairing: Kip Grady/Scott Hunter

Rating: Explicit

Summary: Scott doesn’t often get stopped in his tracks by guys he sees. He doesn’t really ever get that birds-dancing-round-his-head, sweet-chorus-of-angels, crepuscular-rays-alighting-on-the-earth knockabout, or hasn’t really since Mike Johansson transferred into St Thomas in senior year of high school and he had, for the first time in his life, fallen in love. Unrequited, but still. That was fifteen years ago. He’s been in love since then, but he hasn’t been blindsided in a while. He’d forgotten how it feels.

"But I really, really like you, and I want you to stay. So I'm asking for what I want. I want you to be here when I get back from practice later and I want you to be here when I come home from my game tonight. I want you more than I've wanted anything in a long time."

I guess what I’m saying is of course he kissed Kip just out of order at the Stanley Cup. In a small way he’d already been public with Kip the whole time.
