    Summary

    “I think it might be time for you to go.”

    “What—why?” Buck asked.

    “You’re a freshman, Buck,” Eddie accentuated the syllables of his name. “You shouldn’t really be here.”

    “I have just as much a right to be here as you do.” Buck argued, adjusting himself so he was standing up perfectly straight. Making himself bigger. He was taller than Eddie, he noticed.

    So why did he still feel so small standing next to him?

    Evan “Buck” Buckley, freshman star of the UCLA hockey team shows up to university ready for the best four years of his life. The only problem? Everywhere he turns, senior baseball star Eddie Diaz seems to be standing in his way.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    they’re a little awkward in this bc they’re ostensibly teenagers (buck is actually a teenager and eddie is 22 which i know isn’t technically a teenager but like… isn’t it?)

    Summary

    Hollander is always a bit like that, in increments. He takes every loss personally – every missed shot, every empty netter, every failed pass. He could stand to get out of his head for a while.

    It would be good, Ilya thinks, for him to calm down.

    To sit and relax, maybe.

    Summary

    “I’m right here. And you are okay, and you are safe, and healthy, and you are at home, yes? It is quiet, and nobody is there, nobody is bothering you. And the world is full of stupid idiots, but you are not one of them. And I am here. When you need me, I am here.”

    ---------

    or: The whole world thinks Shane is gay because of some stupid internet rumors, and he doesn't even have to confirm it. He's losing control of his entire life and he needs somewhere to put what little he does have.

    Ilya has open hands.
