synopsis: briar u's gen pop suspect that michaela's a puck bunny. they're wrong for more reasons than one.
pairing: briar hawks x platonic!tucker!oc
Michaela Tucker was many things. A sister, best friend, and a bitch to those who deserved it.
However, there was one thing that she would never be. EVER. A puck bunny. Apparently, Briar U students never pay attention to anything.
Michaela walked into the hockey house, slamming the door behind her.
Garrett and Logan peeked over the couch at the noise.
“Oh, no. Who ruined your mood, Agent?” Garrett asked.
Agent. Garrett gave her that name when she announced that she was majoring in Sports Management. Why? Probably because she saw how Garrett looked at his father and decided that Phil Graham doesn’t need to be spearheading his career. Also, because two years ago, an injury practically ruined her figure skating career.
Michaela huffed, “They’re calling me a puck slut!”
Tucker sprinted from the kitchen, “Who called you a slut?!”
“To your face?” Garrett pressed.
“No, but they wrote it on a fucking sticky note and put it on my back,” Michaela whined and pulled a sticky note from her pocket.
Dean walks downstairs in a towel, “What’s Mini Tuck all riled up for?”
“Oh, nothing. Just the collective student body of Briar U slut-shaming her.” Logan informed.
Michaela nods, “Yep! And I swear I also heard someone call me a puck bunny, too. I mean, disregarding you cause you’re my brother,” she gestures to Tucker. “I would never sleep with any of you.”
Garrett, Tuck, and Logan glance at Dean, who raises an eyebrow.
Michaela scoffs and rolls her eyes, “That doesn’t count. It was before college and purely for my mental health. We all agreed to never bring it up.”
Remember that injury I mentioned? Yeah, it was so bad that it destroyed Michaela’s self-confidence. For a while, in her mind, her entire worth was in figure skating. In a last-ditch attempt to boost her self-esteem, a year after and the summer before her sophomore year, she enlisted Dean’s help. She asked him to take her virginity because Garrett and Logan still intimidated her back then, and he was more experienced. That’s all I’m saying about that.
Dean clutched his heart in mock hurt, “Mini Tuck! How dare you? I was the best you ever had.”
Michaela, realizing that she’s still standing by the door, sets her backpack down and takes her coat off, “As of right now, you’re the only one I’ve had. Carter and I are taking it slow.” She walks into the kitchen.
After being paired up for a project, Carter Wú has become quite the fixture in Michaela’s life. Michaela had a made a light joke comparing him to Wendy Wú, which he found funny enough to ask her out.
“Yet another reason why you couldn’t possibly be a puck bunny,” Logan affirms.
“It’s fine,” Michaela calls from the kitchen, “after tonight’s party, they’ll know better. Trust.”
cara’s notes: I forgot how I wanted this to end but I hope you liked it!
happy life and valentine’s day, holroz! 20th journey around the sun is complete! Goofy shit aside, Ira, you are genuinely the longest friendship I've had. There is no one I gel with as much as I do with you. You have been my rock, and more often than not, my muse. I thank the universe every day that you had the gall to sneak out of a gala with a complete stranger, all those years ago. All this just to say, Happy Birthday, and I hope you keep me around to celebrate more with you. Love you, Ira.

STASIE “Boyfriend Forever” Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified
Anastasia laughs, "When I wrote this song, I wasn't even- wait- I was in a relationship. It was ok, not ideal but it is what it is. To this day, I can't remember how it started. We broke up last year, and I've been doing surprisingly good. Literally, never better."
Breakdown, I could it see coming for a while. Phased out, we got nothing left to reconcile. I thought, somehow off into the sun we'd be riding.
Anastasia sighs, "Basically, I kind of knew that it was time to stop. I knew for a while, but I wanted to keep those rose-tinted glasses on, you know."
But there was way too much he was hiding. And now you call me up, perfect timing, oh
"One of the reasons I accepted the break was, he treated me like a secret to be kept, which was crazy 'cause I met his parents. Right after we broke up, a friend of mine called me. It was perfect timing 'cause I desperately needed someone to talk to."
I've been good, passed every test. All my DMs, left them on read. Cooking, cleaning, a freak in bed. And this is what I get.
"I was good girlfriend. I did what just about every guy wants from their girl. But, I got jacksh*t in return. He couldn't respond yes or no to a f*cking dm."
I already decided that I'm cutting him off. He don't even know I got somebody lined up. Should feel bad but I don't. 'Cause I know, I know, I know.
"That second line I wrote just to like piss him off, but it's also kind of true. Like I had multiple people in my DMs, asking when I was gonna drop him. F*cking [redacted] was in my DMs! But, I'm loyal girl, so..."
He won't be my boyfriend forever (Why don't we catch up?). You said I deserve someone better (Could you be that one?). I been tryna cut those ties, you could be the reason why, ooh. He won't be my boyfriend, he won't be my boyfriend forever.
"Obviously," Anastasia shrugged. "We're done. The "Why don't we catch up?" was a DM that I got from [redacted]. We went on a few dates, but friendship was enough for us."
Girls don't cheat, no we just need love. This ain't cheating, just drinks and stuff.
"Disclaimer! Some girls do cheat, ok. It's just a lyric. Don't shoot me. And! Drinks and stuff was a hangout with friends. It wasn't just me alone with another man."
Can't lie, he gives me a rush. But wait until I end it, ha, look, don't touch.
"Although it was drinks with friends, we did have some moments. I was nice to be seen and listened to, but I didn't let it become something it wasn't. I'm not that kind of girl."
It's just like waiting for the bus. Give it five minutes, another one's coming.
"Basically, a break up is like waiting for the bus. When the next one leaves, it doesn't take long for another one to show up. At least, that's how I see it."
Boys aren't forever, they change like the weather. He couldn't measure, I found his successor.
"In every sense, boys are like the weather. They come and go. They can be the perfect boy at first, and then do a complete 180. He became someone that I didn't like, so I found someone better. Metaphorically, of course."
Roll credits
"The first person to listen to this song was Scott, my dad. He enjoyed it. He said that the "freak in bed" part wasn't needed. I digress, but I'm glad that he liked it because I always look for his smile whatever I do something. Kip fucking loved it. When it first released, he played it non-stop at the bar he works at. I love Kip, he's so c*nt."
cara's notes: who do you guys think redacted is? I will tell you, it's a hockey player.
do you think ilya and shane would hyphenate their last names, or which would be more willing to drop their last name? because Ira (oc) has both of their names as a way to honor them, rather than just going by hollander or rozanov.
cara's notes: i just stole some stats from an actual rockland player, 'cause i don't know shit about hockey. and the last time i fully watched a game was when the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018, which my dad was insufferable about.
Scott Hunter's daughter, Anastasia Hunter, and Ira Hollander-Rozanov, son of Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, were seen leaving the annual Irina Foundation gala. Could this be another it-couple in the making?

🎤🏒🎤🏒
July 2022.
Anastasia and Ira had successfully snuck out of the gala. Ira's bowtie was choking him, and galas are not Anastasia's kind of party.
"So... was music something that you always wanted to do?" Ira asked, watching Anastasia take off her heels.
"Not-not really. Growing up with Scott, hockey was kind of a fixed variable in my life. Tried it when I was younger. Enjoyed it, but you know, when you're a kid, your interests in things bounce around."
Ira chuckles, "That's interesting. It was the opposite for me."
Anastasia looks at him in disbelief, "Really? All of the guys I know had hockey running through their veins. Practically in their DNA."
Ira runs his hand through his hair, "My father was a songwriter, mainly for commercials, but it made an impression on me. On my birthday,” his eyes glazed over. “they got me a drum set. I loved that thing. Once I went into the system, they told me it was pawned off. So, hockey was the next best thing, I guess.”
Anastasia frowns, “do you miss it?”
“Everyday,” Ira sniffs.
Anastasia smirks, “Well, if you ever feel like playing again, I’ll fly you out to New York. Show you my studio.”
Ira smiles, “I’d like that.”
cara’s notes: this is short as hell, but I get awkward writing meet-cutes so I did this instead.
