ok minor backstory for both.
Aaron comes from nothing, literally was a foster kid tossed around. Finds a family that cares for him and sends him to a camp, at that camp he meets Tucker. Tucker is from a very rich family, his father played hockey and heās expected to do the same. They become fast friends. Maybe itās because Aaron doesnāt know who Tucker is, maybe itās because he doesnāt care. Maybe heās a little bit in awe that THE son of Evan Myers is paying him any attention.
Except hereās the thing; Aaron was born to be a goalie. Heās got this weird focus that no one can break, his movements are fluid when they need to be, sharp exactly when the time hits. Heās born to be on the ice from the second he steps foot from solid ground to slick cold.
And Tucker? He has to work for it.
They play pond hockey in the off season, go to training camps together, go to the same school for a bit, even.
When college comes, Aaron is the one who is the #1 draft pick. He goes first. Tucker? Heās third. Heās not good enough. His father hates him for it. His father detests him even more because while Tucker should be disappointed in himself? Heās proud that his best friend made it out of the dark.
Not only that. Aaron is gay. So gay he canāt hide it, he refuses. Heās out to his team within the second he takes his first glide onto NHL ice.
Aaron is, too. Mostly. Heās bi.
The bigger problem? Their father pushes a wedge between them, sets them on a warpath. He refuses to back Tucker unless he drops his best friend. To be anything worth having, he does as heās told. Aaron is suddenly confused why his best friend is no longer picking up his calls, why that ache in his chest is just a little too close to home.
Aaron gets traded for trying, after sitting back for so long. Years of being alone, of pushing and pushing till heās at par (if not more successful) than his father was. For pushing himself out of his fatherās light and losing his support in the process. Heās alone. 24. Recently traded due to him attempting to come out to a team who wants to hear none of it.
To the Carolina Sturgeons.
ā¦ And where is Aaron currently stopping every puck that comes his way?
