for the hurt/comfort starters I've gotta ask for mattdrai with "Please tell me I don't look as bad as I feel" please! <3

"Please tell me I don't look as bad as I feel."

Matthew frowns at Leon’s image on his phone screen. The dejected tone of his voice is more than enough to tell Matthew just how bad he’s feeling, but there’s also a slope to his shoulders and the stress in his eyes that he can’t miss after loving him as long as Matthew has. He knows how much responsibility Leon carries with him, and is very familiar with the helpless feeling of not being able to show up for your team.

“You don’t look great,” Matthew says truthfully.

Leon scoffs and rubs a hand over his face, “Oh, thank you.”

The image goes blurry for a moment while his phone re-establishes it’s connection with the shitty Boston hotel internet. He knows there’s not much he can really say to quell Leon’s worries, and it’s late and they both have a game tomorrow. Important games. He doesn’t know the full extent of what’s up with Leon, and doesn’t dig (he’ll find out later and chastise him for it then, just as Leon did to him last year), but he knows that it’s worrisome enough to make Leon call him in the midst of their playoff run.

“Hey,” Matthew says gently, “I know it sucks and I know that I really can’t ask anything of you that I wouldn’t do myself…”

“But?” Leon bites.

“If it’s really bad, please don’t push yourself,” Matthew pleads, quiet but sure. He can’t say much more than that. Can’t tell Leon that it’s not worth it. Can’t sooth him and say that everything would work out for the Oilers without him, for fear of the falsity of his words being too glaring.

Leon sighs, but is silent beyond that. Matthew gives him the space, doesn’t push, listens only to the faint sounds in the background of Leon’s room, and watches the soft flickering light of his TV. Matthew wonders absently what’s on.

There’s a set to Leon’s jaw, and he’s pointedly not looking at Matthew, but even through the pixelated video call he can see the shake to his body as he breathes in and out, “Matthew, you know-there’s just so much riding on this, right? What am I going to do if this season ends in another failure? I’m running out of fucking time, here.”

A pang of unfounded guilt hits Matthew, knows that Leon is a few years ahead of him and in reality it’s not that much, but in hockey it’s everything. Maybe he’s not as well acquainted with the hourglass of time taunting him just yet, doesn’t have to worry about the sand falling through the middle, faster every time he gets another blow to his body. Doesn’t know the pain of making it within reach of the thing he’s always striving for, only to have it ripped away in a blur before you can even get your legs underneath you. Every. Time. Matthew can see it ruthlessly eating away at Leon year after year, chips away at him and seeps into the corners of his being.

Matthew had been closer than Leon ever had, and he felt confident his team could do it again, could see his chances in the coming years only increasing. Coming from him, it felt wrong to placate Leon and tell him that next year would be better, when he’d already had so many years of loss under his belt.

“Then you’ll figure it out. We'll figure it out, alright?” Matthew swears, wanting Leon to know he never had to face this giant thing all by himself, that he didn’t have to cross any bridge without Matthew’s hand to hold, “I’m always with you, Leon.”

There’s a helpless gasp of air from Leon’s mouth, maybe the tail end of a sob stuck in his lungs, “Yah, yah. I know. Thank you.”

Matthew offers a small albeit sad smile, and they don’t say much else. Matthew doesn’t hang up, though, can't bring himself to sever the one line of connection they have in the moment. Leon doesn’t look in a rush to go, he’s three hours behind and has time yet. Matthew sleeps eventually and lets the video call go, so Leon doesn't have to be alone.

Andrew Minyard puts on the world cup just to annoy Kevin and Neil

#does Neil Josten and his donttalktomeifitsnotaboutexy ass know that ive been unfaithful to him these past few weeks #btw ive spent the past week trying to think of which fox would unironically watch football but theyve all disappointed me unfortunately #if it was basketball playoffs or the super bowl id say Matt no doubt..i think he might watch the world cup but just for the vibes #i wanted to say aaron too but unfortunately i don't think he's spicy enough.. hed probably root for the us anyway so i dont want to involve #him at all #honestly id like to see renee be a soccer fan and say she really gets into it.. there's nothing particularly preventing her character from #being into it i just idk #aftg #mine aftg

Slowly realizing I can’t have both the vehicle cup (CAR vs VAN) AND the carb cup (pasta vs bread man) ……. my life is hell

#hockey #the playoffs giveth and they taketh away #btw if neither of these things happen I will be Very Upset #here for the vibes not the best team thanks <3

[ratatatastic]

on this edition of mikkola doesnt forgive doesnt forget hes actually really petty if you spent a second observing him on his shifts because he will hound down a player all game feat special guest pasta

first period scrum and a crosscheck after the whistle certainly puts you on mikkolas radar and gives him explicit permission to start trailing you

worthy to note that in the second period pasta skates up right behind mikksy during a board battle and crosschecks him into said board battle to which mikksy ofc reacts very normally and gives him a couple extra shoves after the puck is out, you know, to prove a point

off a lundell holding penalty early in the 2nd the bs are on the pp which ofc means both mikksy and pasta are on the ice at the same time can you guess what happens

florida panthers @ boston bruins game 3 | 5.10.24

#niko mikkola #florida panthers #2324 #playoffs 24 #i love him so funny #its always so funny to see which player manages to piss him off for the game #also fascinating to see the thought process #sometimes he'll let people upend him pretty badly but he wont do anything about it #but you shove him a little weirdly #vibes are immediately OFF #you have to die now thems the breaks

Alright now that I’ve been sad about the Leafs an appropriate amount of time, here’s a sneak peek at the next chapter of the Mamma Mia fic!

Enjoy :)) It’ll be posted sometime tonight (hopefully).
