Snow Day - Dylan Holloway

This is the first writing I’m posting on here so please send feedback! I had a snow day yesterday and that’s what inspired this so I projected my self kind of heavily on the character. Also, covid isn’t a thing in this.

Warnings: tiny bit of language

///

“Dyl, Dyl, wake up,” you say, shaking your boyfriend’s shoulder.

“What do you want?” he asks groggily. “Aren’t you supposed to be going to swim?”

“I can’t there’s too much snow,” you explain. “I can’t get the car out of the driveway, and the roads aren’t plowed yet. I do not want to drive in 2 feet of snow.”

“Well go back to sleep then, it’s 6 AM,” he tells you.

“Exactly, it’s 6 AM. I could’ve woken you up at 5 when I decided not to go to the pool, but I didn’t. I gave you an extra hour of sleep. Now get up so we can go shovel!”

“Why would you ever want to shovel?” he asks.

“Cuz it’s fun,” you say. “Besides we’ve barely gotten any snow at Wisco this year, so I want to take advantage of being in Canada.”

He just stares at you.

“Stop judging me,” you say after a second. “I don’t know what people have against shoveling. I genuinely think it’s fun. Now come on, I’ll make you food before we go outside.”

At that, he’s out of bed in an instant, grabbing a hoodie from his closet and pulling it over his head.

“What are you making? Can I help?” he asks as he follows you down the stairs.

“Waffles, and no. You remember what happened last time you tried to help,” comes your reply.

He gives you puppy dog eyes.

“Fine,” you sigh. “Go get the waffle mix and cocoa powder,” you add, pushing him toward the pantry while you pull out the other ingredients.

Shockingly, the two of you are able to make the waffles quickly and without any mishaps. As soon as they are made, you eat yours quickly and start cleaning the dishes as you wait for Dylan. When he’s finally done you put his stuff in the dishwasher and head toward the door. You put on your winter coat, because even you aren’t that stupid to go outside in just a hoodie when the temperature is below zero (Fahrenheit).

“Hey Dyl, do you happen to have an extra pair of boots?” you ask.

“Um, I don’t know, I can see if I can find my mom’s extra pair,” he offers.

“No, they definitely won’t fit me. If you don’t have an extra pair it’s fine, I guess I’ll just wear my Adidas,” you respond.

“Ohhh haha I thought you meant like an extra pair of women’s,” he says. “Yeah I do have an extra pair of my own. Hold on, let me go get them.” He returns and hands them to you, and when you pull them on they fit surprisingly well due to the thick fuzzy socks you’re wearing.

Finally, you guys are ready and you pull Dylan out into the snow with you and go grab shovels. You guys start to clear the driveway and by the time you are halfway done Dylan has stopped complaining, realizing that it’s really not that bad. You guys are almost done when you get an idea. When Dylan’s not looking, you reach down and grab a handful of snow, packing it into a firm ball. Then right as Dylan turns you throw it at him as hard as you can.

He looks you dead in the eye and says, “Oh, it’s on, Y/L/N,” and you take that as your cue to sprint away. You run into the backyard and quickly establish your position up on the deck, where you start making a pile of snowballs. Dylan comes into the back carrying his own pile of snowballs and looking for you, and you take his moment of confusion as an opportunity to pop up from behind the deck railing, which you had been hiding behind, and pelt him with snowballs.

“That’s six for me and none for you,” you inform him.

“You’re keeping score?” he asks.

“Of course,” is your reply. “It’s a snowball fight. First person to hit the other 50 times wins.”

“Ok, bet,” he says, thinking it will be an easy win for him.

“Bet,” you reply, hitting him once more. “And that makes it 7-0.”

You guys continue your fight, and after a few minutes Dylan realizes the only way he’s gonna hit you is if he joins you on the deck. He comes up and the two of you exchange snowballs before you escape down the stairs and out of his throwing range. He follows behind you, and then it’s just the two of you in the open air, a battle to see who can make and throw their snowballs faster. Dylan manages to pull ahead, but you don’t get to concerned. As soon as he takes a moment to catch his breath, you make a break towards the deck.

You establish your position up on the deck once again, and you pelt Dylan with snowballs as he tries to approach you, taking the lead back 49-47. Dylan realizes you only need one more to win, so he ducks down and hides, or so you think. What you don’t realize until it’s too late is that he is actually sneaking up the steps. You have no way to escape and no snowballs to throw, so you do the only thing you can think of. You jump off the side of the deck. It’s pretty high up, but you’re not gonna let Dylan hit you, not when you’re this close to victory. You land hard on your ankle, and when Dylan looks over the side of the deck you aren’t getting up.

“Babe, are you OK?” he asks. When you don’t respond immediately he adds, “Don’t stand up, I’m coming down.” As you hear him heading down the deck stairs you grab a handful of snow and form a snowball, and as soon as he rounds the corner and walks toward you you throw it at him, hitting him square in the chest and winning the fight.

“Wait you cheated? You faked an injury?” he pouts.

“First of all, no I didn’t cheat, you chose to come down here. And second, I actually did twist my ankle pretty bad. I just chose to use it to my advantage,” you reply.

“Oh shit, are you OK? Do you need me to get ice or something? Carry you inside?” he asks.

“No, I’m fine. I’ve injured myself way worse before. Help me up though?” you ask, holding your hands up to him. He pulls you up and you go inside together, putting away the shovels on the way like the responsible people you are.

When you get inside, Dylan’s mom is waiting for you with two mugs of hot chocolate. “Thanks Mrs. Holloway,” you say as you accept a mug from her.

“No, thank you,” she says. “I can never convince Dyl to shovel.”

“Well if you need me you know where to find me,” you respond laughing. You and Dylan finish your hot chocolate and then go to change into dry clothes.

Later that night, you and Dylan are laying on the couch with your head on his chest. “That wasn’t very nice of you to trick me earlier y’know,” Dylan says out of nowhere.

“Come on baby, it was a joke. Besides, I actually was injured,” you respond.

“Exactly, that was the worst part of it,” he explains. “I never want to see you hurt.”

“Aww thanks bub,” you say. “I hope you know I feel the same way.”

The two of you lapse back into silence and eventually Dylan puts a basketball game on the TV. When his mom walks in half an hour later, she finds the two of you in the same position, you asleep on his chest as he watches basketball and runs his fingers through your hair.

“Hey Dyl,” she starts. “I’m really happy you brought Y/N home for Christmas. She’s good for you. Try to keep her around OK?”

“That’s the plan Mom,” he replies. “I love her too much to fuck it up and lose her.”

Power Ranks: Week 4

So in any fantasy season, I think that the first four weeks are largely irrelevant in terms of evaluating your players. Obviously, you want your team to do good but it’s the first four weeks in a season in which new NFL rules lowered practice times before the season started, making the first four weeks of this particular season EVEN MORE irrelevant. Offensive lines have yet to gel, receivers and QB’s may not be on the same page yet, and defenses seem to be the only thing thriving relatively consistently at this point.

On the other hand, record in terms of fantasy matters quite a bit, and that’s a really big thing for the 1-3 squads, you’re one game out of like the four seed! Other than Anthony, nobody’s really already pretty much guaranteed themselves a playoff spot. It’s not panic time yet, but I like that the perception of panic time has caused trade discussions to ramp up.

Scott Genitalia update: 9-3 (this is the wildest thing considering me and Scott’s teams are honestly terrible)

Reminder: the number I give you doesn’t matter as much as the tier I put you in, I don’t see a big difference between teams in a tier other than small details.

The “Lego Movie soundtrack song ‘Everything is Awesome’” tier

1. Scott’s Balls 12-4-16 (Anthony “you’re still a bitch though” Mendola) (4-0) (LW: 1)

youtube

In the 2015 NBA Playoffs, the Cavaliers and Bulls were playing a game. LeBron spun baseline and dunked all over Joakim Noah’s shit, effectively ending his career since he hasn’t played a meaningful minute since that series. Noah, never one to back down or accept shit, put up the best post-getting dunked on response of all time, he said “you’re still a bitch tho”. Honestly hall of fame level response, because anytime anyone does literally ANYTHING and you come back with “you’re still a bitch tho” then that person is very much still a bitch. So, Anthony, you’re doing great. 4-0 with a team that’s performing about as well as it possibly can, almost unsustainably so. Cam and Le’veon might’ve turned it around last week, Kareem Hunt has more second half rushing yards than the next person in the rushing yardage leaders (Gurley) has on the season, Hogan and Gronk are catching every single Brady TD, and your flex and WR2 seem to just always get like 9. Everything is going right, Golden boy bullshit has a raging boner right now. You’re dunking on the league. You’re still a bitch tho.

The some sort of a flaw was exposed this weekend tier

2. Fournette About It (Jack “the most expansive Rick and Morty reaction gif collection I’ve ever seen” Cleek) (3-1) (LW: 2)

Honestly everything was going so well! You had three of the best like 6 RB’s to have and now it’s diminished by Cook going down. It’s a real bummer, you never wanna see players go down like that, especially so early in their careers. Luckily, your depth has more than enough players to cover you. However, I can’t have you in the highest tier anymore because the value of having that third RB is so high. Hopkins is as good a replacement as anyone, but he’s not gonna be as consistent as Cook. The same can be said for Duke, Davante, and Golden Tate. I also think that Diggs and Clay are slightly unsustainable but ride the hot hand baby.

The rearranged pile of above average garbage tier

3. Mixon It Up (Alec “bad at predicting WR’s” Bernstein) (2-2) (LW: 7)

After a truly horrendous, almost unprecedentedly bad start to the fantasy season, that’s two straight weeks of 105+ for you. Wilson will have up and down weeks but he’s on a two good game streak, Miller had his once or twice yearly blowup game, and Green/Beckham will never get less than 20 combined going forward. Graham continues to be a solid tight end. You’re gonna have to fix RB2 (mixon looks awful) and your flex (Sanders is the best option and I don’t think that’s a good thing long term, maybe Kamara breaks out) but well done my man, you’ve turned this season on it’s head the past two weeks.

4. Hammer (Tony “ok maybe he isn’t back” Mendola) (1-3) (LW: 3)

Brady+Freeman+Gostkowski is about as good a trio as you’re gonna get, but your receivers are maddeningly inconsistent. Hilton will become far better when he gets back but until then you really don’t have a single good option at the moment. Fitzgerald is your best receiver so far and he fell off a cliff in the second half last year. Landry is unfortunately bound to Cutler. Unless you can identify some guy on the wire to break out or your guys turn it around, You’re gonna depend on 2-3 guys to really carry you all season.

5. Scott’s Jizz (Scott “Hi Scott, here’s your rank” Felgenhauer) (3-1) (LW:10)

Nobody thought this was possible considering what happened to David Johnson and the names on your roster but this is an incredibly random 3-1 team that I think is better than I or anyone originally gave it credit for. Dak may not look that great in games, but he’s an incredible fantasy QB. Powell will at least be the lead back for one more week. Dez+Thomas may be the second best WR duo in the league behind Alec’s guys, and Kelce is just as good as Gronkowski. Everything else on the team that’s garbage really may not matter. If you can somehow survive and go like 4-4 or 3-5 when David Johnson comes back, you can make the playoffs.

6. i’m bad at this (Dylan “bad against scott” Jessop) (1-3) (LW:6)

Idk it just really feels like it shouldn’t be this bad, right? On paper this team is still super scary. Stafford could nut at any time. Murray could nut at any time. Nelson always nuts. Cooks/Gillislee nut inconsistently. CJ Anderson nutes. It just never happens at the same time, which is the problem. You’ve left a TON of points on your bench almost every week and I think you’re the 1-3 team in the best shape by far because the production is there it’s just completely wild as to when and who will do it.

7. Scott’s Penis (David “It’s just that GZ” Chinchilla) (2-2) (LW: 8)

I finally broke 100, but honestly it was the flukiest 100 because Greg Zuerlein had the third best fantasy day for a kicker in the history of fantasy football. That’s wild. The silver lining is that my consistent guys continue to be consistent I guess? McCoy at some point will score, Ajayi at some point will not suck, and I’m confident in Keenan Allen and Devante Parker. I need Luck and Reed back real bad guys. But, I’m playing the patriots this week (Anthony) and who do you call when you need to beat the patriots? ELI BABY

The “I’m just making another tier because these teams have just slightly performed worse” tier

8. Smallerwood (Chris “maybe changing your picture helps too” Gatzow) (1-3) (LW: 5)

Brees will continue to be one of the more consistent Qb’s in football, and I think a combination of Howard/Coleman/Smallwood is enough to keep the Rb’s afloat, but your receivers and flex look VERY rough. Cooper was dead without Carr, it may only be worse now. Julio had the yards, but not the TD’s, and now the Matt Ryan regression year is officially on only to fuck you. This week looks especially rough, with Coleman/Brees/Julio out, Mariota possibly not playing, and Baldwin/Smallwood/Cooper having injury designations. Long term, I think you’ll be okay because there’s no way your receivers continue to suck so much, but it may be too little too late if you continue to lose.

9. Aegon Targaryen M’FVCKA (Alex “trade nut was busted” Ahn) (1-3) (LW: 4)

It’s been three straight weeks under 90 points, and two straight under 75. Ryan looks like 2015 Ryan, I rostered that Ryan and it’s really not a fun ride. Carson died. Jeffery and Tyreek both look like boom or bust guys, Tyreek especially. Bennett is used awfully in Green Bay, and I want zero part of the Baltimore backfield. Marshawn looks like a huge dissapointment, and J Stew is behind McCaffrey in terms of usage on that team. You’re gonna need some waiver guys to really come through, because I don’t know if it’ll get THAT much better.

10. Beshoy and Some Backups (Beshoy “Bench went Wild” Halim) (1-3) (LW: 9)

Considering that your bench went crazy and had you not just over thought some of your decisions and made the logical play, you would’ve had a way higher score last week. I don’t think you’re as bad as the ranking makes you out to be. I don’t see that much of a difference between say, your team and me and Dylan’s teams if we’re being honest. The reason you’re down here is because although last week gave some hope that there’s producers on the team, that’s four straight weeks not breaking 90. It’s cool and all that some guys are performing, but you gotta score some points at some point. That being said, I think you got the worst case scenario out of Gordon last week, and outside of that you just played the wrong guys. Pryor hadn’t done anything, maybe this past week was just what he needed. Blount looks like a good fantasy guy, he didn’t even score and got 15. Abdullah had been up and down, but like Pryor maybe this was the week he turned it around. I know it wouldn’t have mattered this past week since Anthony went wild, but I have to put you down here based on past performance.
