Give them tights. Sure. Don't want rug burn, after all.

Taking stock of some re-coloring decisions, and why ever the switch to gray for Weatherbee's suit.

random background moments for your viewing pleasure

[robertalanclayton]

The Coach’s office, Grant School, Dayton OH, RA Clayton

[fadeintoyou1993]

Guilt, innocence. Good, evil. Life, death. As the shadows around Riverdale deepened, the lines that separated these polar opposites blurred and distorted. "I'm guilty," Cheryl said in Biology class. But of what? Good and evil. Light and dark. Betty and Veronica. Two sides of the same Janus coin. Given Betty's article, Weatherbee needed a sacrificial lamb. Needed to make an example of someone. So, after Hermione Lodge negotiated a lesser sentence for our two avenging angels, Coach Clayton, to save his job, to save the school's reputation, was forced to cut his own beloved son, and his goon squad, from the team. An action that, though none of us knew it at the time, would have terrible consequences in the weeks to come. But one thing was certain, Betty and Veronica, now B&V, and maybe forever, had been forged. They walked through the fire, and survived. We crave absolutes. They comfort us, but life is infinitely more complex than that. Despite all of our recent troubles, I would've done anything to protect Archie. But Dilton Doiley had just opened Pandora's box, and now, there was nothing I, or anyone, could do to save him.

RIVERDALE (2017—2023) Chapter Three: Body Double

[fallstaticexit]

Day 500 of trying to convince her neighbor, Clayton to let her join his band. Word on the street is Dom is kind of a poser. She’ll show all of them! Maybe she’ll make her own band.

Hailey's non stop crying is wearing on Connie and Alonso (and Kewch). Alonso has a feeling it's because the poor thing misses her mom. Hopefully Kira gets her act together sooner rather than later.

It's Saturday morning and there's only one thing on the Quinn's mind: Soccer. This family eat, sleep and breathe soccer. Alonso coaches the Willow Creek Cubs (elementary school) and the Willow Creek Crickets (high school). The Quinn’s all do their part before getting ready, even if some would rather not.

And of course, nothing wraps up a good game like reaping the benefits of a discount or two for lunch at their favorite diner.

matthew lore: childhood friends & teammates

AKA a vaguely chronological list of current NHL players Matthew knew before he ever played an NHL game

This is already a massive list, so in an effort to keep it as short and organized as possible, I have bolded the names of guys who appear in multiple categories and have only included those who have played at least a full season’s worth of games in the NHL.

For a comprehensive list of his teammates that have ever played an NHL game, this invaluable tool will provide you that information dating back to his first season in the NTDP (2013-2014).

CASEY FITZGERALD gets to go first and uncategorized, because he’s known Matthew longer than anyone else on this list, seems to be the cousin he’s closest to, and is one of the three childhood teammates that became one of Matthew’s NHL teammates. (And roommate!)

THE ST. LOUIS BOYS

LUKE KUNIN is THE guy. Their families are friends (Matthew’s whole fam was at Luke’s wedding, Luke’s whole fam was at Brady’s), and they were teammates for fourteen straight seasons before finally getting separated after their time at the NTDP, which is so long Luke's literally known Matthew longer than Taryn has.

Of the six St. Louis guys drafted in 2016, Luke and Matthew were the only ones born in 1997, so the following have all played with Matthew significantly less than Luke.

CCM Motown Classic 2005

TRENT FREDERIC From what I can find, Trent only played with Matthew during the 2005-2006 St. Louis Rockets season, but he played with Brady and was coached by Keith in the same Junior Blues hockey program, was one of the family friends that got to come around and play mini sticks with David Backes as a kid, and his time at the NTDP overlapped with Matthew’s in the 2014-2015 season (Trent U17, Matthew U18).

2010 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament

CLAYTON KELLER played in the 2010 Quebec International Pee-Wee Tournament with Matthew and likely more but trying to find youth hockey rosters from before 2015 is a herculean task. But he was one of those U17 guys that got to play up with the U18s his first year in the NTDP and played with Matthew for 16 games and then went on to win gold together at the U18 Men's World Championship in 2015.

LOGAN BROWN Other than the 2010 tournament, Logan seems to have played more with Brady than he did with Matthew, and wasn’t in the NTDP like the other guys, but does train with them in the summer.

2011-2012 U15 AAA Junior Blues Team

2013 U16 National Tier One tournament champions

JOSEPH WOLL Unlike the other St. Louis boys, Joseph seems to have played exclusively with Brady, but his time at the NTDP overlapped with Matthew’s the same as Trent’s did. It’s unclear if he trains at the same place as the others during the offseason, but along with the rest of the 2016 St. Louis Draftees, his signed draft day photo is framed in Matthew’s bedroom at his parents' house because of course it is.

THE 1997 JUNIOR BRUINS

This Athletic article is about all the NHL players who played for the 1997 Junior Bruins tournament team over the years, but from what I can find, Matthew only played on the 2010 team with Casey Fitzgerald, NOAH HANIFIN, CHARLIE MCAVOY, COLIN WHITE, and the ever present, Luke Kunin.

Matthew is still close friends with all these guys, but Noah in particular is a Noted Best Friend and with him being from Boston and the Tkachuks having a house in Cape Cod, their summers overlap a lot even when they aren’t teammates.

With Casey, he and Colin White are the only childhood teammates to play with Matthew in the NHL.

THE NTDP BOYS

Okay, this section is where it gets a little chaotic so I split it between the guys who played with Matthew and those he went to school and was familiar with because their time at the NTDP overlapped.

2013-2014 NTDP Teammates Including the gold medal teams for the 2014 U17 World Hockey Challenge & the 2015 U18 World Championship

ZACH WERENSKI

Repeat: Noah Hanifin

2013-2015 NTDP Teammates Including the gold medal teams for the 2014 U17 World Hockey Challenge & the 2015 U18 World Championship

JORDAN GREENWAY

CALEB JONES

CHRISTIAN FISCHER spent his youth hockey years playing against Matthew, and when they both headed off to the NTDP, their parents split billet duties. He is one of Matthew’s best friends, attended Matthew’s draft, and even went with Matthew to Brady’s draft.

JACK ROSLOVIC was linemates with Matthew (and Auston) in the 2014-2015 season and when Matthew went to the 2015 Draft to support all his 1996 boys, Jack was the one he chose to sit with. The next summer, Jack returned the favor (see photo with Christian at Matthew's draft above).

AUSTON MATTHEWS is another family friend. He was Matthew’s center in 2014-2015 and when he broke his leg the previous year, Keith got a bunch of NHL guys to reach out to Auston , and he’s the one who gave us the best story about Matthew texting his own highlights to his friends.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

None of the Hughes brothers played with or overlapped with Matthew in the NTDP, but the two families are friends, and as far as I can tell, first met in 2010 when Quinn played on Brady’s Junior Bruins tournament team.

QUINN HUGHES is Brady’s best friend from billeting with him and Keith while in the NTDP and is on this list because Jack called Brady and Matthew QUINN’S BOYS, their families are friends and met at the latest, in 2010 when Quinn played on Brady's Junior Bruins tournament team. On top of that, Quinn he once included Matthew in his answer about watching Chris Tanev play after he got traded to the Flames for no reason at all other than to say he likes to watch him play too.

And last, but certainly not least, is CONNOR MCDAVID.

Matthew spent multiple summers, including the summer before his rookie season, training with Connor at Gary Roberts’ and the two of them are what I like to call STAR CROSSED TEAMMATES. Not only does Matthew swear the Oilers almost drafted him—and there’s certainly enough reports and predictions from before his draft to back up that being the plan—but Connor could’ve been a 1997 Junior Bruin if Brain McDavid wasn’t out to get me.

One Hell of a Love (Book 3) Chapter Nine

Sebastian Michaelis x Demon! Reader

Chapter Nine: One Hell of a Match

Summary: Sebastian and (Y/N) go after the Headmaster, and Ciel goes against the Green Lions. One goes well, the other does not.

            Sebastian and (Y/N) stood in front of the Blue House band, readying themselves to “cheer.”

            “The final match—the Sapphire Owls vs the Green Lions—will now begin!”

            Resounding cheers went up from everyone present, students and families alike.

            “Ciel, do your best!” Elizabeth’s voice rose above the rest.

            “Lizzie!” Edward’s heartbroken cry at his sister cheering for Ciel instead of him flew through the air.

            Greenhill deadpanned. “That attitude is unbecoming, Midford.”

            Edward focused and faced Ciel with a determined glare. “We’ll give you a thorough thrashing.”

            “Do go easy on us,” said Ciel, but he had to hide his smirk. He had a plan.

            “We’ll come at you with everyone we’ve got,” said Greenhill.

            “We are honored,” said Bluewer.

            “Blue House bats first!” said the referee, and they took their places.

            “Now, then, time to put our back into cheering for our team as their coaches,” said Sebastian. He lifted his conducting wand, and (Y/N) stood to turn pages beside him. They looked at the band of Blue House members.

            “Now, everyone, together, if you please,” said (Y/N).

            “They’re playing music to cheer on their own team?! How coarse,” exclaimed the Green Lion Housemaster. “What are Mr. Michaelis and Mr. Noir thinking?”

            (Y/N) chuckled. “Poor Green House cannot even enjoy some music.”

            “We shall, though,” said Sebastian, smirking. “First piece. ‘Radetzky March.’ ”

            The band struck up as the ball was bowled, and, to the shock of the crowd, Blue House made contact with the ball. It rocketed past the bowled, and they scored four runs. Shouts of amazement went up in the crowd, and (Y/N) and Sebastian exchanged self-satisfied grins.

            “That was pure luck! Pull yourself together,” said Greenhill to his bowler.

            “Right!” said the bowler.

            He bowled again, and again, the Sapphire Owl batter made contact with the ball.

            “Three runs!” announced the referee.

            Edward watched in amazement as the next batter came up. It was Clayton, and it was then that he noticed the strangest part of the situation.

            “What?!” His eyes widened. “His eyes are—they’re closed?!”

            (Y/N) and Sebastian smirked. Indeed, Clayton’s eyes were closed. For over a week, they and Blue House had prepared their strategy. This was an integral part to their victory. Blue House had intelligence, so they used that to their advantage. With a mere musical cue, they could hit the ball in a way their eyes would not allow them to.

            Edward gritted his teeth as he picked up on it, a little impressed by the cunning trick. “Now I get it…”

            “So you picked up on it too?” said Greenhill. He gazed at Bluewer proudly. “They really worked hard.”

            “It’s true. I can’t condone their using music, but—Eh?!” Edward stared at Greenhill before sighing. Apparently, he couldn’t see anything different. “Greenhill…will you let me bowl next?” Greenhill was surprised but nodded.

            “We scored forty runs, and we’re still batting!” exclaimed Clayton, surprised.

            “Let’s score more runs while we still can—huh?” Ciel watched Edward step up to bowl with a serious look on his face.

            “You’ve resorted to dirty tricks no gentleman should stoop to. I will not tolerate it!” He wound up, and everyone’s eyes widened at the familiar stance.

            “Rushing Violet Vapor, Purple Burnout!”

            The ball rocketed past any musical cue and the batter and hit the wickets. Even Sebastian and (Y/N)’s eyes widened in surprise at the sudden change in Edward’s demeanor and skill.

            “Bowled out!” declared the referee.

            “That’s the ball Cheslock of Purple House bowled!” exclaimed the crowd. “How can a Green House player use it?!” Indeed, without the practiced fingers of a musician, it should be impossible for someone to use the bowling technique Cheslock had.

            “That louse, when did he…?” Cheslock stared in amazement.

            “My, my, how surprising these Midfords are,” remarked (Y/N). “They always have skill up their sleeve.” Honestly, they enjoyed it. Life grew so boring when people became predictable—as most humans were—so some entertainment and surprise added color to their immortal existence.

            “Even the one who can merely copy what he sees proves it is a talent in itself,” said Sebastian, similarly interested in the development. “And, unfortunately, this strategy must be adjusted. The bounce of the bowl disrupts any possible musical cue.”

            “Time to switch to our next scheme?” said (Y/N).

            “Indeed—”

            “Hey, look over there! It’s the Headmaster!”

            (Y/N) and Sebastian’s heads snapped up to the student exclaiming the words and followed where he was pointing to. A man in a suit obscuring his face with a top hat stood with a crowd of associates, and (Y/N) and Sebastian’s eyes narrowed.

            Sebastian looked to Ciel, who nodded. The demons would go and confront the Headmaster. That was the goal for the match, after all—get to the Midnight Tea Party to see the Headmaster and question him about Derrick Arden and his friends’ disappearance. And so…

            “McMillan,” said Sebastian.

            “Yes?” said McMillan, jumping.

            “You take care of the rest.” Sebastian gave the conducting wand to McMillan. He and (Y/N) nodded to him and ran away from the band.

            “E-Eh?!” exclaimed McMillan. “Wait! Mr. Michaelis, Mr. Noir?!”

            (Y/N) and Sebastian slipped out from within the stadium and tore off their long robes to just wear the movable suits within.

            They snuck into the school building and approached the terrace where Agares and the Headmaster had been sitting. However, he was gone once they arrived.

            “There,” murmured (Y/N) sharply, looking down at where the Headmaster was speaking to various guests.

            “When did he get all the way over there?” said Sebastian, narrowing his eyes.

            It was quite suspicious and unusual.

            Furthermore, the moment they got down from the terrace, the Headmaster was gone again. Now this was becoming quite frustrating and concerning—how was a human avoiding two demons like that?

            However, Sebastian and (Y/N) remained undeterred and followed the Headmaster’s trail into the school building. A large staircase spiraled upwards, and the Headmaster climbed the stairs several floors above them.

            (Y/N) and Sebastian stood in the shadows, exchanged a look, and nodded. Separating, they each leapt up from different sides. They catch the Headmaster this time. With speed above that of any human, they approached the Headmaster, and Sebastian grinned as he grabbed for him.

            Whoosh!

            His hand grabbed an empty jacket. The top hat fluttered to the ground, and (Y/N) landed beside it. Sebastian and (Y/N)’s eyes widened.

            “He disappeared from under our nose. How—?” (Y/N) blinked, and their nose twitched before their eyes narrowed. “This means he can’t be human.”

            Equally frustrated, Sebastian furrowed his brow. “We cannot be sure, but no human can act so swiftly unless having a supernatural element to them.”

            (Y/N) and Sebastian looked at each other.

            “We should return to the cricket match,” said (Y/N) darkly. “If there are nonhumans here, there’s no telling what could happen.”

            “Indeed,” said Sebastian, narrowing his eyes.

            Quickly, they exited the school building and donned their robes once more. The moment they arrived back at the field, they saw Ciel lying on the ground, bleeding from a wound on his head.

            The final ploy had been used. Sebastian and (Y/N) had to hide smirks at everything working out precisely as they planned.

            “Green House, ten outs!” said the referee. “Time! The match is over—Blue House wins!”

            Everyone’s eyes widened, and then cheers went up from every quarter. Plenty—most—people were shocked, but there was also an abundance of joy.

            “It’s a second Miracle of Sapphires!”

            Sebastian tutted as he lifted Ciel—the poor, injured player who had sacrificed everything for his house out of his own selflessness—from the ground. “How could you be so reckless? Getting that cut seen to comes first before celebration.”

            “My, my, how much you risked,” said (Y/N), shaking their head.

            “But winning alongside everyone has made me so happy that I’ve all but forgotten the pain…” said Ciel, smiling as he played his role perfectly. “We got to prove to everyone that even Blue House can win if we put our minds to it.” His teammates smiled and tried not to cry.

            “You really are a most incorrigible boy,” said Sebastian. He lifted Ciel up, and he and (Y/N) walked with him out of the stadium to attend to his wound.

            The entire crowd clapped for the student’s sacrifice as they went.

l

            “Ow! Ow! Can’t you go about it a little more gently?!” huffed Ciel as Sebastian cleaned the wound.

            “Dear, oh dear, had you not forgotten your pain out of happiness?” said Sebastian, smirking.

            “Are you joking?” Ciel nearly cursed at the sting.

            “Your strategy went exactly as planned,” said (Y/N). “Well done. Any number of variables might have changed.”

            “However, it appears you came away with an even finer badge of honor than you had anticipated,” said Sebastian, chuckling. (Y/N) covered their chuckle as Ciel scowled.

            “Curse that Greenhill,” muttered Ciel.

            “Oh, yes, and I have recovered the ball from earlier, per your command,” said Sebastian, lifting the red ball up.

            “I don’t really think Bluewer would have noticed the trick,” said Ciel. “After all, the weight of the ball differs only slightly. But thanks to this, we were able to take the championship according to plan.”

            The change in weight had changed the course of the ball, and, then, when Greenhill stepped back and swung, Ciel had gotten hit and “sacrificed” himself to get the prefect out and win the game for Blue House.

            He grinned. “I scored and got my house the championship crown. A more perfect tearjerker of an ending I couldn’t hope for. Still…” He gazed at the ball. “To bowl a ball you know will be beat, I don’t understand Bluewer or the others at all.”

            Sebastian wrapped bandages around Ciel’s head. “I too cannot comprehend the human aesthetic of a ‘beautiful defeat’ at all.” He looked at (Y/N). “Can you?”

            “I spent my last moments cursing an entire town,” said (Y/N), smiling with their eyes closed. “I do not believe in being defeated.”

            Ciel shivered a tiny bit, and Sebastian chuckled. That was his Felis.

            “Well, how did you two do?” said Ciel, looking at Sebastian and (Y/N).

            “The Headmaster is here,” said (Y/N), retrieving the top hat and coat jacket.

            Ciel frowned. “Huh?”

            “We regret to inform you that we did our utmost to pursue him, but the moment we had him, this was all there was,” said Sebastian, bowing slightly.

            Ciel’s eyes widened as he, too, realized that something was amiss and this headmaster was far more than they realized. “Blast! In that case, I should’ve just had you make me some desserts or something.”

            “I knew he’d say that,” said (Y/N), amused.

            “Indeed,” laughed Sebastian. He turned and picked up a hidden platter. “So we prepared this for you.”

            Ciel’s eyes sparkled, and he reached for it.

            Sebastian closed the lid and smiled “innocently.” “But you’ll have to save it for later.”

            “Phantomhive!” Blue House members pushed the doors of the infirmary open and ran in.

            “Quiet in the sanatorium!” said Sebastian, switching into housemaster mode.

            “Sorry, Mr. Michaelis!” said McMillan. He ran up to Ciel. “Are you alright?”

            “Yes, I think so.”

            “Bluewer was crying, did you see?!”

            “No.”

            “Even stingy old Clayton was raving about you!”

            “Oh?”

            From all around, congratulations and affectionate effusions and praise were coming, and Ciel was surprised and a little uncomfortable. He was unaccustomed to such attention.

            “I never imagined I would witness a Miracle of Sapphires firsthand!” gushed McMillan. “Thank you, Phantomhive.”

            “It really wasn’t my doing,” said Ciel “modestly.”

            Sebastian and (Y/N) exchanged amused looks.

            “Here you go!” Ciel was crowned with a dramatic hat. “Your hat for the boat parade. They said you get to be the cox!”

            “Th-Thank you,” said Ciel.

            “Well, let’s be off!” said McMillan, dragging him up.

            “E-Eh?!”

            “It’s time for the champion house’s boat parade!”

            (Y/N) and Sebastian smothered chuckles as McMillan dragged Ciel away.

(hi its keller-clayton) ok for the AU ask game:

AU where sid went to play in the KHL as a teenager instead of rimouski

oh wow! back when they were such babies... their round baby faces!!!!!!

1) I think Sid goes to the KHL for one year before his draft bc he's a big fan of Russian skating and wants to experience a different style of play and an adults league before the NHL draft. also maybe some personal reasons that make him want to escape North America for a bit. he's 17 and Zhenya is 18 and was just drafted by the Penguins :)

2) Sid takes a few months intensive of Russian and also billets with Magnitogorsk's Canadian coach, so he's not entirely helpless when he gets there. but there's still a huge language and cultural barrier. Sid is NOT prepared for the realities of living in Magnitogorsk and how the team basically does everything together. Russians are different in a way he can't articulate but he's just here to focus on hockey, not make friends.

3) HOWEVER Sid and Zhenya are drawn together immediately even though they don't share much language, just like in canon. I think their personalities just click together. they meet and shake hands and Sid says something in halting Russian about Evgeni's skating and then they're just beaming at each other and everyone is like ???? what is going on??? instant chemistry.

4) they become fast friends. they learn each other's language together. Sid becomes "Sidnya" and Sidnyushka". Malkin becomes Evgeni becomes Zhenya becomes Zhenyushka. they tear it up on the ice. Zhenya is fiercely protective of Sid when others on the team are jealous and other players are rough and rude (though it's a less physical game in Russia). Zhenya invites Sid to his house to hang out and eat dinner with his family.

5) they're so absorbed in this exciting best friendship that they don't quite realize that they are also horny for each other. but maybe there's a shared bottle of vodka in a shared room on the road and they share fumbling first-times 🥺

6) best part about this is that Sid leaves for the NHL draft and knows they might never play again. he gets drafted by the Penguins but Zhenya is stuck in Russia Sid's rookie year and Sid misses him so much!!!! it's a hard year and he's not even sure when Zhenya will be able to leave his home club ((((( very first-love teenage tragedy with the biggest emotions.

After being placed behind a few Archies stories, though none with any obvious injury inducements.

The biggest color change in this story, alongside the minor one with Archie's jacket, jeans and a coloring of a caption -- important and consequential change, I am sure.

[veterantrainerray]

Hello. My name is Ray Clayton, and my ten year old niece convinced me to try blogging for the benefit of trainers out there.

My experience encompasses pokemon care, battle tactics, training regimens and trainer coaching. Ran the Kanto League back in the day, took part in a few others. Decided the whole champion schtick ain’t for me, but the League life is.

I’ve worked with gym leaders, aspiring trainers, professors and even Elite Four members.

I am NOT qualified to offer input on medical matters beyond the dos and don’ts of training safely. I am not qualified to diagnose or assess injuries on any form of remote platform. See a veterinarian or other qualified professional for that.

My niece says yall can send me questions directly on here. I’ll answer all of ‘em I can.

Already this blog has been the subject of a bit of toxicity. All I’m gonna say to you Negative Nancys is that I ain’t gonna give ya the time of day, and be sure to read and comprehend somethin’ before you mouth off about it. Odds are you’re criticizing an answer to a question you only imagined was being asked, when the answer was to the question that was actually asked.

[l-yourlocalgay-l]

can i request an atypical oneshot of casey x reader or one day at a time elena x reader? maybe you’re sick or injured and she helps you?

All I Need Is You

A/N: I wrote more about how you got the injury than actual Casey content but uh, enjoy?

Word Count: 1.1k

---------------------------------------------------

The whistle blew and before you knew it, the ball was hurtling towards you from the other side of the court.  You were the setter on the volleyball team and you were currently playing the game that would determine whether or not your team would make it to nationals.  In the last 5 years at Clayton the girls volleyball team had not even made it as far as yours had, but you were sure that this was the year you would make it.  

The girls at Greenwich Academy were proving to be  great opponents.  The last 4 sets had been a constant back and forth between the two of your teams with especially long rallies.  The current score was 18-17.  All that your team needed was this one point to win and you would make it.

“I GOT IT I GOT IT!”  you heard the words coming from your mouth before you even had time to register the speed that the ball was coming at.  

As the ball bounced off your arms and towards the libero behind you, the screaming of one particular girl in the crowd could be heard.

“Go Y/N! You got this just one more point!”  Your girlfriend Casey was screaming at the top of her lungs.

You didn’t have to even look at her (not like you hadn’t been looking over at her any chance you got) to know that she and her mom were there sporting matching shirts that Elsa had made just for you.  The shirts were quite obnoxious looking, with them being bright pink with orange letters spelling out your name, but the thought that went behind those shirts had moved you to tears.

You ran off the net and yelled at the libero to send the ball back to you.  The timing on this hit had to be absolutely perfect.  Your steps were exactly where they should be placed, your arm drawing up to hit the ball in the best spot possible.  The rest of the world was tuned out for the 5 seconds you were in the air and all you could see was your hand hitting the ball as hard as you could.  You saw the ball hit the court right in the middle with everyone diving to try and get it, even though they were ultimately too late.  The crowd went wild and so did your teammates and coaches, so excited that the team was finally going to nationals.

The glory of being the last and final point was short lived, however, your happiness faded as soon as you landed. You felt a sharp pain in your ankle and fell to the ground.

While you were falling, you briefly saw Casey booking it down the bleachers before your view was covered up by your teammates and coaches trying to see if you were alright.

“Give her some space!  And someone get Lauren!”  Coach Sampson yelled to the girls around you and the crowd slowly dispersed to allow the athletic trainer to get to you.

You looked around trying to find Casey but it was no luck, there were too many people around and the pain in your foot was making it incredibly hard to focus.  The amount of people in your personal space was enough to make you panic and you were about to until you saw the trackstar literally running to get to you.  The look of worry on her face was adorable and you would’ve told her so, but as your girlfriend knelt by your side the trainer bent your ankle in a way that caused you to cry out in pain and grip onto Casey’s hand, holding on as if your life depended on it.

“Are you okay?”  She asked, her eyebrows furrowing as she tried to figure out what she could do to help you.

You shook your head as tears slipped out and rolled down your cheeks.  Casey wiped the tears off with her free hand and left it to rest on your cheek, whispering to you over and over again about how you would be okay.

---------------------------------------------------

The sound of someone knocking on your bedroom door woke you up, even though all you wanted to do was sleep.

“Mom, it's too early, just let me sleep.”  You grumbled out, upset at having been woken up.

As the door swung open you were surprised to see your girlfriend of 7 months walk in the door holding a grocery bag from a drug store.

“Dude it’s like 2pm, that is not too early.”  Casey said as she walked over to your bed with a huge smile on her face.

Casey had been over at your house every single day since you got the news about your ankle.  You had broken a rather common bone to break and had to stay off of it for the next 4-8 weeks, meaning that with nationals in 2 weeks, you definitely were not allowed to play.

It hurt and tears were shed, but Casey was at your house and with you all the time, so she was making the pain a little more bearable.

“I got your favorite.”  She said in a sing-song voice, pulling a soda and a chocolate bar out of the CVS bag she had.

Your eyes lit up as you pulled the covers down a little bit to reach for the snacks.  Just as you were about to grab them she pulled them back, still with a smile on her face.

“Uh-uh, what’s the magic word?”  Her eyes sparkled as she let out the slightly childish statement.

“Please?”

“Nope! But I guess I could give you these…as long as you do something in exchange.”

“And what would that be?”  You questioned the girl standing in front of you as your eyebrow instinctively raised.

She leaned in a little closer to you, her smirk somehow getting wider, “I want a kiss.”

You giggle at her antics and pull her down by the back of her neck into a sweet kiss.  Somehow it felt like kissing her got better and better each time that you did.  You pulled away for a second but she brought you back in with slightly more force than you were expecting.

When the two of you finally did pull away, the smirk on her face had changed into a small smile and she was looking at you with what could only be described as heart-eyes.

You matched her smile and pulled back the blanket for her to join you in your bed.  She wasted no time as she crawled in with you, putting the snacks on the side table next to your bed.  You rested your head on her chest and listened to her heartbeat speed up a bit because of that.

At some point in your cuddle session, you had fallen back to sleep.  Casey looked at you resting so peacefully and then joined you in your nap.  

The two of you ended up sleeping the day away, seeing as you didn’t wake up until 8pm when your mom knocked on your door and asked if you were going to eat dinner.  You would be tired tomorrow, but Casey was with you, so did it really matter?

---------------------------------------------------

A/N: this ask is from like 2 years ago I'm sorry I haven't been that active since I posted that I wrote fanfic 😭 I'm trying to be in my active Era. Sorry if there are spelling mistakes, I wrote this right now instead of doing my homework.

April 4, 2016

Carina sat at a table in the hotels banquet room, where the team was going to meet up all together for the first time for the U-18 IIHF Championship, Carina felt someone sit next to her and she looked up her face in her normal glare, Clayton Keller sat next to her giving her a nudge to her shoulder smiling at her.

“Keller.” Carina bluntly greeted him, Carina and Clayton having known each other for a while now.

“Kniesy!” Clayton smiled happily not at all bothered at her bluntly tone and glare on her face knowing that’s just how Carina is, “Did you meet everyone yet?” Clayton also knew Carina hates most people as she is the biggest anti people person ever.

Carina grunted and shook her head.

Clayton smiled and looked around who is the closeted, “Wolly!” Clayton called out to Joseph Woll, who turned around and smiled walking over to the two.

“Hey.” Joseph smiled brightly his eyes lingering longer on the beautiful girl next to Clayton.

“Wolly this Carina, Kniesy this is Joseph.” Clayton happily introduced the two noticing how Joseph eyes kept looking back at her.

“Hi!” Joseph brightly beamed at her giving her his whole attention.

Carina eyebrow raised at how bright his smile was and nodded slightly, Joseph didn’t seemed bothered by her response just kept smiling.

“Don’t mind her, she’s a grumpy one.” Clayton teased his friend nudging her, Carina just rolled her eyes sharply elbowing him back.

Joseph just smiled and sat at the seat next to Carina, just as the coach walked in and everyone took a seat at all the different tables.

“Get to know each other, you’re a team now.” The coach finished off his talk about what they want to achieve in this tournament and how he hopes they play, he finished talking and headed to a table with the staff letting the team get to know each other.

“You’re a center right?” Joseph turned his attention back to Carina once the meeting was over.

Carina nodded slightly, not loving how he keeps involving her in the conversation as she hates making conversation and does he always have to have such a bright smile and happy personality.

“That’s sick.” Joseph grinned having thought it’s amazing that she is on the boys team and can obviously easily keep up and keeps all of them in their toes with her skills.

Carina continued to sit quietly as the table talked and she could tell Joseph was trying to bring her into the conversation but she would rather not.

Carina saw some of the players leaving after a little while and she got up just as she felt her phone buzz and she saw a facetime from her brothers she started walking out of the room and answered their facetime.

Joseph watched her leave with heart eyes and a goofy smile and was so focused on her leaving he didn’t even realize he was being very obvious.

“Oh buddy.” Clayton winced in sympathy knowing Carina will probably never give him a chance, Clayton patted him on the shoulder.

Joseph snapped out of his day dream and turned to Clayton, “What?”

“Don’t, Kniesy doesn’t do relationships.” Clayton knew that if she does have a relationship in the future the perosn is going to be quite special to be able to break through her walls.

“I wasn’t.” Joseph weakly denied, all he could think about is how beautiful she was.

and if i say bokuto becomes an anouncer post retirement... i think he'd be like vball world tv's clayton but more energetic and also having a bit more professional insight

just the type of anouncer where everything that happens is the most exciting possibility in that scenario (im think the time the scoreboard malfunctioned and clayton was like "i guess now we have time to talk about how amazing this technology is" or when there was an extended pause cause there was something wrong with the ref's reference tablet and he went off on how cool it was they had the ability to interview players and coaches and get even more insight into the match)

hes always so excited when he gets to do post set 2 and post game interviews that he gets bummed he has a 4 question limit

sometimes he gets so caught up in an amazing rally that he takes a break from play by play commentary to just scream

hes always bringing up his old teammates and gets so swept up in catching up with players/coaching staff/ other anouncers he played with/against that he has to be reminded theyre there to talk about the match at hand

idk just having thoughts about my enthusaistic boy....
