it had been a surprise to see his schedule consist of a podcast show , one where he'd been invited as a guest . it made sense once he was informed of the content of said podcast . he could talk football all day , every day , any day . so , thankfully , the time had flew by and he walked away feeling as if he hadn't made a fool out of himself . though he held a large social media following , mostly consisting of middle - aged football fanatics and young adult women thirsting over him , he tried to keep his social media presence tight . most content , if not all , of the san diego's tight end consisted on the football field or after at a pre - game , post - game conference . still , today had been fun . it made him think maybe he could do it again some time in the future . strolling through the studio , trying to find the exit , brown eyes catch onto familiar blonde locks . breath catching in his throat , feet stop themselves . he's sure it isn't her but upon further inspection , he sees it's definitely her . his ex - girlfriend . with no added thought , long legs carry him to the space she occupied opening up the door softly . " gen , " he calls out , making his presence known , " hey . hope i'm not interrupting anything "

glancing towards the direction of where his best - friend stood surrounded by a group of women , he can't help the tumbling round of laughter that results from the scene and his brothers words . " pass around just fine ? what , i'm second fiddle ? " shaking his head , an unusual cocky smirk plays on his face . " i'm sure if they knew i was the replacement , they'd thank you . you're old news " jesting because he wasn't sure there'd ever be a time derek taylor was claimed old news . there was a reason his brother was the owner of seven rings . teddy wasn't sure he'd ever get there in his career . though they covered different parts of the field , there would always be the talk about which taylor brother played better football . and the consensus would probably always land on derek . nodding his head slowly , he shrugged . " i'm plenty loose , " he just had never been the type to celebrate a win with partying , always tagging along when his team whined about how often teddy tried to slink away back home . " we talking wives now ? i didn't realize you were in the market for a new one , bro " he grinned , downing a bit of the glass in his hand , " i heard whispers of you going home with someone after the kennedy party . she making the cut for wifey number two ? " genuine curiosity coated his words because he didn't know shit about his brothers love life recently .
" suit yourself but , " you should –––– was what he wanted to say . perhaps , a part of him thought it was the perfect solution to shut down the once of guilt that had settled with him after leaving genny home . " they are going to be disappointed , i said they could have a midnight kiss and there's only one of me . but , you can pass around just fine . " the resemblance between the brothers , only what keeps any resemblance between the taylors . in truth , teddy was a better man than derek would ever be and he was fine with it . seven super bowls or not , there was more to the matter than a game . not that , he will ever say it out loud . " we can call then after because tonight ? tonight , we enjoy , have some fun . you won another game kid , you are probably gonna be name mvp … win a super bowl . you need to loose up , teddy . there will be plenty of time left for you to stay home , find a wife and all that .

new years eve , though still a spectacle when it came to kathy kennedy , didn't hold the same weight the christmas holiday did for the kennedys . so for the most part , they were left to their own devices . and while , usually , madden didn't mind playing into the ball dropping hype everyone else chattered about , his day had consisted of various bookings . he had filmed a scene for gossip girl , had went on interviews with his grand - mother for an agent , met up with old team - mates . and throughout it all , he had kept his girlfriend updated . it was only when , having dinner with the guys , he had been reaching for his phone in his back pocket that he had realized he misplaced it . two hours and twenty minutes later , he found himself speeding through los angeles traffic to get to his drunk best friend . easily making his way into the party area , he spots archie quickly . " damn . so sad to have missed it , " voice tethering between exhaustion and frustration . " sorry nicki , but i'm going to have to steal your duet partner from you , " he greeted the rapper with a kennedy grin waiting for her to stand before reaching out and gripping archies arm . " let's go "

had he been prepared for his best friend to hunt him down after he had drunkenly text him before he had even considered ringing the new year in? absolutely not. he also hadn't expected that he would be sat with nicki minaj on his knee telling her about his problems after they had completed a duet to beauty and a beat and he had ended up singing carter talbots part of all things. he could shudder at the thought if he wasn't too busy telling nicki about his life choices when the very source of his trauma appeared in his life of sight. "i told you he'd show." he muttered sinking into his seat wondering if madden would miss him under nicki but the look on the others face told him otherwise. "hey mads....you uh, you missed the duet."

one arm secured tightly against the deer he had been shocked to see as a prize at the hidden - away fair , one he had been determined to win or buy from the moment he laid brown eyes on it , he chuckled at the blondes words . " yeah , " agreeing because it was a bit of a shock . " guess that's what happens when you venture out of the hillz area , " everywhere they went , there were eyes . and when adrian had said he was going out for a drive to breathe some fresh air , ophelia had offered to be the passenger princess . ten miles turned into more . soon enough , adrian had been pulling into the parking lot for a fair he had never known to exist . " hey , you won't hear any complaints from me . i say we stay here 'til they kick us out packing alongside them "

how the two of them had ended up at a damn fun fair she did not know but the blonde was having the time of her life, she had won more than her fair share of games, eaten way to much sugar and her hair was such a mess given all the rides she had been on but best of all? no one seemed to give a shit who she or her friend were. "don't you think it's mental that we're just here and no one gives a damn?" she asked, the over grown cow plushie that she had won for herself tucked firmly in her arms. "for today and least i love it."

though , from a young age , he had established certain boundaries when it came to filming for the kennedy show and the kennedy fame altogether , madden loved his family . and not in the , they were blood so you had to love them sort of way . and definitely not in the way , blind to who his family truly were kind of way . maybe it was dumb . maybe it was naivety . or maybe it was a plain rose colored view . but he had always been able to see his family in a plain way . each of his aunts , his one uncle , his grandparents , his nephews , his sister . he tried his best to not play favorites , to show up for each and every one of his family members . it's why when he had learned his aunt needed a baby - sitter for a night , he had went out of his way to volunteer . feeling , then seeing , the presence of his aunt , he smiled brightly at her as she took in the view . " they didn't want to go sleep in bed , so i compromised and offered myself up , " the boys still in that stage where they weighed close to nothing so it hadn't bothered him . nodding , he licked his lips at the smell of the pizza . " sounds good . i got it , " giving his aunt time to drop off the pizza and scoop up a son before he gently let the other wrap around him as they set to let them down for the night in their own space .

with jamie away for the night, her usual nanny on holiday and sisters she knew were all likely busy with holiday plans when mackenzie's late night at the office had come up and her nephew had offered to get her boys she had never been more grateful for the kind soul that was as far from a kennedy as she could claim any of them were - even herself. she didn't worry about her boys for a second whilst they were with him, even taking an extra twenty to stop for a pizza on the way home save cooking and waiting for a delivery guy, plus she figured madden would be ready for a top up of food. padding into the house quietly, praying her boys were asleep somewhere even if not in bed she smiled to herself at the sight of madden with a son asleep of him on either side. "bed time went well i see." she smirked softly as she set the pizza down heels kicked off to the side. "want me to tackle one, you can tackle the other then you can share this pepperoni with me kiddo?"

" little movie ? " he playfully scoffed , chastising her words with his tone , swatting at the foot that came nowhere near him , " how dare you . that was no little movie " . he had expected it to be . he was sure everyone had . there had been no world where he believed his first ever acting role , some disney musical , to be what jump started a completely different career path for the male . rolling his eyes at her , " fuck no . i'm all grown up now . plus , i fear no one would take it as gracefully as you did "

"can you believe we're now at ten years since we made that little movie?" kaya smirked as she kicked a foot at his chair from where she was lounged opposite him. the actress was fairly sure that neither of them had expected their lives to take the turns that they had with high school musical but she couldn't be mad at it even if a little bit of her cringed now. "you still make your co-workers do so many re-shoots or have you got it together?"

hand running through the dark locks , thumb on the hand wrapped around her waist circling across bare skin from where her shirt had ridden up , eyes molten as he looks down at sienna in his bed . " my baby , " he muttered back , soft smile still on his face . it was strange to think of how this all felt natural to him . he had never felt the need , the want , for a partner throughout his past twenty two years on earth . he had thought pushing himself into one would at some point creep up on him . that he would only see it as a negative , that he'd talk himself out of it . but that had yet to happen . he liked sienna , he liked his relationship . for once , he didn't have an excuse to use as a barrier for letting himself close off . he didn't have football to dedicate his time to . he had realized , that thanksgiving weekend , that maybe a small part of him had always kept himself closed off from everyone else because he had believed himself to be archie's only . but he wasn't doing that anymore . archie was married , and despite understanding what had happened between the time of their kiss and the marriage , madden had decided not to be just archie's anymore . not in that way . " oh yeah ? " he teased , almost sure that all the apartments had been furnished the same exact way , " guess that means you gotta crash here every night . wouldn't want you to go from being comfortable in my bed to uncomfy in yours . could make you have a bad day on set in the morning "
it was crazy how fast life changed. last christmas, she spent it in the trailer park she had been living in at the time, making a brief stop at the county prison to visit her parents before joining the rest of the trailer park residents for the christmas barbeque. it was amazing how they all had so little, but they seemed happier than most people did in hollywood. and now? here she was, cuddled up next to the exact type of person she used to dream of being - a man from the most famous family in america, and she was his girlfriend. but madden had never made her feel small or less than and he was the easiest person for her to be around, he had been since the moment she had met him. she had never been in a relationship before, never allowed herself to get too attached to people because of how often she moved around. but now that she had it? she never wanted to let it go. light flush of pink takes over her cheeks at the little nickname as she snuggled herself closer to him, hand moving to rest against his cheek as she smiled softly at his words. "like a baby." she said with a light laugh, thumb gently moving back and forth across his face. "you know your bed? way more comfortable than mine. i might just have to crash here more often...if you don't mind."

hand raising on its own , second nature to flash both middle fingers towards the direction of his older brother . " suck a dick , " countering naturally , words said casual enough as if they belonged in the conversation to begin with . he has to stop his eyes from rolling into the back of his head when axel dips into the usual nothing matters , the world is too big for this small drop of blah blah blah shit he'd spouted from the moment adrian was born . shit , he was probably attempting to tell their mother in baby gibberish that adrian's birth would be some frivolous shit as well . " i don't know if nba players , you know the people making money off that frivolous shit , would agree with you there , " poking the bear was never a smart decision but it was a funny one . the results would be entertaining enough . " i'm so glad we have different teams , " though adrian's antics had never reached the level of his brothers , " nah , doubt it . there are girls who are probably going to drool over their screens at the sight of you attempting to dance . bet you they keep you around 'til the semi - finals at least . if you win , i'm saying that shits rigged though "
watching his brother cough like he was some twelve year old kid smoking his first cigarette that he had stolen from his mother's purse, axel simply offered a scrunch of his nose towards adrian as he snatched back the joint. "grow up." he said with a shake of his head, taking a long hit from it himself, tossing the ball towards the basketball hoop and of course, missing the shot. "funny as fuck that i don't fill my time with frivolous nonsense that has no meaning to it whatsoever? these people are fucking delusional." he said with a roll of his eyes, taking another hit. "guess they can't afford it on their budget ass network that only has the capacity to write about teenagers fucking each other and crying. it's pathetic." he said, another roll of his eyes following. "i don't want to do it, but my team's making me do it. trying to write some redemption storyline or some shit, it's lame as hell. and that dance shit? i'm gonna suck so bad that i get voted out the first episode."

there had been a weird fog surrounding him from the moment he had been in the air , hovering over the sea that separated him from the home he's always known and the place he had found himself enjoying for the last year . the time he had spent in london , for all that he couldn't believe it to be , had felt right to the male . flying back home , he had questioned what would change . had the present routine he had set for himself change , would the steps he had taken to better himself be reversed . but his family was back in california , and so was austen . for them , he'd go back . for them , he had left . the last couple of months home had been met with uneven footing as he adjusted back to the life he had always known in the hillz . the reckless fitzgerald , the boy who followed behind austen . when the time came where a trip , just between the two , could happen he had jumped to book it . for the slightest chance that they'd feel like they had before he put a year between them . glancing away from his phone screen towards the direction of his girlfriend , he raised an eyebrow as the corner of his lips tilted upwards . " really ? that's what you're thinking about while watching your fifty million crashes ? "

airpods in , one had intertwined with his the other holding up her ipad . austen had this tradition of watching the air disaster's series right before every and all flights . it calmed her ( somehow ) . tapping the pause button for a second , emerald hues looking over at adrian , " wanna join the mil high club … again , " she smiles nuzzling hr nose into his cheek as the two came to the stairs into the private jet . truthfully , she felt this little getaway was just what they needed . her mind all over the place since he'd been back and while she was happy he was , it felt like she couldn't quite keep up between how hectic her own life was and all the added pressures on their relationship . she just wanted to be away from everything that came with being in los angeles and what better way to ring in the new year than with adrian in a foreign country . it was one of the better gifts she's given , she likes to think -- even better because she reaped the benefits of it too .

like the wind , jade santos was often everywhere and anywhere . some would assume she didn't have a home with the way she tended to find any excuse to be anywhere but . often seeking comfort in the homes of her friends . even if that meant in a complex that doubled as a make - friend prison with the gossip girl cast . shutting caiden's door behind her with another loud goodbye and the smack of an air kiss , there's a bright smile on her face as she turns to head to her next destination . arms swinging by her side . smile dimming in the presence of madeline kennedy directly in front of her . " maddie , hey , " formal enough because she didn't want to pretend to be on good terms with the femme , not like they always have before .
God she's fucking everywhere.
The thought plagued her mind with an unending measure of annoyance. Couldn't there be a single place where Jade Santos didn't exist? She was like a coldsore that didn't want to dry up and flake off. In another life, she may have enjoyed the spark of life and perfectly symmetrical features. Not in this one. Madeline knew meeting Madden at his apartment was stupid and she would be laying into him for it once he finally dislodged himself from Sienna's ass. @watatis

there was no way any of this was fair . when he had eagerly accepted to spending the day with his best friend , he hadn't pictured he'd be near naked and she'd be fully clothed . " if i fall behind once more , just strip me from my job . this shit's getting embarrassing " but he wouldn't tell her to stop . as always , keanu was a willing accomplice to whatever madeline kennedy cooked up in that beautiful head of hers . pausing the current work - out , hands naturally fall to his hips as he harshly breathes in the air around him . needing it to keep him up . " ever thought of being a hockey coach ? you'd fucking kill these men on ice "
Madeline loved the intense burn that coiled through her muscles, a forgotten fortitude that she would tap into in the final lap. She bit back the wild grin that formed at the heap of discarded clothing on his side. "There are worse ways to get demonetized but if you fall behind once more, we'll call it a day. As much as they would go feral for you in the nude, I do not need to be attacked by your fan girls. I think we should kick it up a notch though," she questioned with a bit of mischief. "When was the last time you did a burpie?"

head turning to the side where his good friend was planted , he could practically see the devil horns attempting to poke out between the head of curls . smirking over the bottle of beer in his hand , he softly shakes his head , teeth sucking in . " so fucking much could go wrong , " and with the pair together , much would definitely go wrong , " but , fuck it . i'm down . we play the day before and then don't play again 'til tuesday . it's like they're begging us to go "

throughout his entire life , teddy taylor had took losses personal . an extremely bad habit that had been hard to reel in when he had went pro . each loss meant there had been somewhere he hadn't done his job right , hadn't been a key player to the team . and that always had a way of eating him up inside . despite that , he kept a strong face in front of the team . he didn't need the guys knowing he beat himself up over a loss . especially not tonight , when he knew his best friend was taking it harder than he ever could . he had heard the chants at the stadium , dodged the post - game conference questions where they tried to paint the blame on dom . so when he sees his best friend getting ready to storm over to someone , he's quick to tug him back by the shoulders . " stop , " voice calm and steady , even tone so he doesn't provoke dom further . " who cares what the guy thinks ? c'mon , man . you don't want the fine , and you definitely don't want coach screaming until he turns red at you "
the last hours playing on a loop in his mind , each move , each player , and every single mistake he has made tonight that cost the team its victory . at their home ––– it was inadmissible . it was taking the best out of dom and it only proves to be true when , walking out of the stadium , a range of fan voices calls for his attention . storming off to one of them , the fury in his eyes says enough ; for his own lucky he can feel a pair of arms pulling him . " –––– get off me , teddy . let's see if that idiot has the gut to say that to my face , " he screams off his best friends over , pointing out to the guy . " yeah , you . you little shit . "
✎ … / @watatis ( teddy . ) ––– outside 49ers stadium .

a bark of laughter escaping pink lips at the sudden movement from the too - tall male next to her , she easily accepted the affectionate touch . it hadn't always been like this with her only nephew , when they'd both been under her own parents roof their relationship was often tense and distant . it hadn't been until she stood by her sisters side , followed after her when she went against the sinclair name , that the blonde had a chance to form a relationship with persephone's son . " you're not a terrible anything , " because she'd never let her family members talk down on themselves , " but no threatening needed . i've been all good " . reaching above her , because those she's naturally tall her nephew has always been taller , to pat at his hair as if he was still a young boy . " are you okay ? " it seemed these days , archie was the one worrying his parents more than he usually did .

"i feel like it's been forever since i saw you." the male huffed as he looked back at his auntie, shifting so he was closer to her on the couch he had plonked himself down onto, feet quick to kick up on the chest as he smothered her with his weight like he was still a young boy and not likely to crush her now if he didn't hold some of himself up.

at the statement of a burnt dish , the brunette was quick to turn away from the football game on the screen and make his way back to the kitchen . " i was gone for five seconds , " eyes playfully rolling into the back of his head , " i'm thinking you did it on purpose to get out of having something green on our plates " . stepping around his best friend , he checked on the potatoes , cauliflower cheese , and chicken for safe measure . while , as children , their parents were in charge of the family dinners they'd host weekly , once both aussies had moved to the same state it had been kieran's idea to start their own sunday dinner traditions . there were times they had to post - pone , due to obligations or partners or schedule stuff , but for the most part they always came together on sundays . and kieran was always the cook . he had no idea why he allowed bristol to talk him into being in charge of a dish tonight

nodding her head at him , she didn't bother offering to take asher off his hands or be the one to put him to bed . the parents long past the pleasantries phase where they tried their best to make the load off the other much , much easier . it all felt natural now , the way they worked together to raise asher . it had taken a while but she had learned to settle the nerves , the fear , the possible shame of allowing angel to have seen the way she parented before and had to open herself up to the possibility that it'd all change . digging into her own slice of cake , a much larger one because she held a secret sweet tooth , she was near done when he finally got back . smiling up at him as he sat back down near her . " it's no big deal . i know your team will probably do something for you later on , but ash and i wanted to do something for you . all the gifts were his pickings , he wouldn't let me state my opinion , so sorry if you're not a fan " there had been a good ten presents she had wrapped for the hockey player , all courtesy of her bank account and asher's decisions . she had let him run wild , capping him at ten , because she knew it meant a lot to her son .
angel could feel the weight of his son grow in his arms with each mouthful of cake that the boy shoved in, determined to keep up with his dad. it marvelled him really, how in just a few shorts months in comparison to his time on this planet that asher had grown to look up at him. the hockey player still didn't have a damn clue what he had even done to deserve it but he would take the weight of his growing son to treasure these moments for as long as he possibly could. "i'm not sure i do but i'm thankful for it either way." he offered quietly over the head of unruly dark hair that sat between them at the counter. the now dead weight was enough to indicate that asher was sound asleep in his arms as he finished up his cake and though he could join him he wasn't quite ready to give up on their celebrations yet, to end what had been a damn near perfect day. "i'm gunna go lay him down and then i'll be back?" angel whispered, shifting himself ever so slightly so that he could move an arm under ashers legs and cradle him to his chest easily allowing him to move through selenes home to get him tucked into bed before he returned to where the blonde was waiting. "i still can't believe you did all of this."

despite both taylor boys finding a natural talent in the same sport , and thus continuing on to have successful careers with it , the similarities stopped there . born six years apart , the gap was big enough to keep them in separate stages their entire life but small enough that teddy still admired his brother . looked up to him . as a child , he wanted to be him . it took until college for teddy to realize it was okay for the boys to be completely different people . it didn't fuck up the bond they'd held their whole lives . case in point : derek loving the party scene , teddy being more of a home body . groaning , his head tilts back against the couch at his brothers words . " i won't dip , but i'm not chatting up any girls . i'm not interested in that tonight , " he hadn't been for a while , though his brother did not need to know that , " ah okay . ma said that's where they spent christmas day too "
entertaining himself with the stories of some former teammates and friends , it was a disquieting concept to imprint upon his mind : those were days he left behind . no longer an active athlete , preparing for the end of the season . so , he downs another shot , having lost the count of how many but fairly certain it was enough for his vision to have gone blur . the only company that kept his mind away from his glory days ––– the presence of his little brother . the voice of the other cutting through , changing his attention to teddy . " ––– don't tell me you are planning to go home ? you need to loose up a bit , teddy . have fun , chat up a girl . i called them before leaving the house , they are going up to uncle's keith house for the evening . "
