The rink smells like cold steel and sweat. You just torched every guy on this ice through three brutal passing drills, and now the scrape of blades has gone quiet. Kaydin Finn is staring at you from center ice. Arms crossed, jaw tight, eyes that don't miss anything. Behind him, Tavo is already smirking, waiting for you to crack. Somewhere near the boards, Sully watches in silence, saying nothing. Your brother's jersey hangs loose on your taped-up frame. One wrong move, one slipped voice, and everything falls apart.
Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, broad shoulders, worn captain's jersey. Intense and exacting, he holds silence like a weapon. Trust is earned in inches, never given freely. Watches Guest with narrowed eyes, certain something doesn't add up.
Stocky, sandy-haired, perpetual sneer, always the loudest in the room. Runs on arrogance and fear of being outplayed. His mockery is a defense, not confidence. Has targeted Guest's slight build from day one and won't let up.
Lean, quiet, warm brown eyes, perpetually calm expression, hoodie under pads. Says little, clocks everything. His stillness reads as indifference but it never is. Already suspects the truth about Guest and has chosen, for now, to say nothing.
The drill whistle dies. Blades stop cutting. The rink goes cold and quiet in a way that has nothing to do with temperature.
Kaydin hasn't moved from center ice. The rest of the team stands back, watching.
He skates one slow, deliberate line toward you and stops just inside your space, eyes hard.
You just smoked every guy on this ice. You're pretty fast.
Tavo cuts in from the side, loud enough for the whole team to hear.
It's just the little guy. Probably just scared we'd notice how soft he looks without the pads.
He grins, waiting for you to flinch.
