I hear you
Read on Ao3
Chapter 1: Trade Alert
Dan Howell has a huge crush on the NHL star Phil Lester, and maybe he has a change to play with him if the Boston Bruins draft him.
“Dan Howell has expressed admiration and respect for your game and your achievements”. Phil knew who he was. He had been tagged on a few tweets where Dan was talking about Phil in interviews and he usually replied to Phil’s tweets often, the guy was hard to miss.
Chapter 2: Optional Skate
Phil knows exactly what he’s doing. That doesn’t stop him.
“When you score with your backhand, you can be on top” …They were talking about hockey, right? Dan wasn’t sure anymore because Phil was too close and his voice got deeper and all his senses were dolled. He could feel Phil everywhere and they weren’t even touching “Probably your coach will tell you how to fix it, but it’s not weak, it’s rushed” yes, hockey!
Chapter 3: Fever
It’s the first time they’re together for more than half hour without a rink between them and Phil realises, too late, that hockey was the easy part.
Bad Romance exploded through the speakers. The crowd screamed. Phil actually laughed, half hysterical.
“Oh, good Lord have mercy”
Dan pulled back just enough to look at him properly, red light flashing over his face now, sharper, more dangerous.
“You prayed for mercy,” Dan said. “I don’t think God has you in good favor”
Chapter 4: Protocol
There’s a protocol for everything: game days, media interviews, handshake lines, fights between rivals. But there’s no protocol for what happened on Halloween. Six weeks later, with Montreal and Boston back on the same ice, discipline is easy. The real challenge starts after the final buzzer.
Phil avoided his phone at all costs. He didn’t need to see the posters with his and Dan’s face all over Twitter or the sport’s analytics showing footage of their last games back to back. He knew Dan had gotten better, more confident on the ice, and Phil knew Dan was using lots of his own moves. The news was constantly showing Phil’s plays and next to it an almost identical video of Dan with the same play.
Chapter 5: Competitor
Dan an Phil have a plan. A plan that could work if their goalies stop making fun of them
“We’re both British. There aren’t many of us in this league. When you grow up somewhere that’s not considered a traditional hockey powerhouse, you notice the guys who make it anyway. It’s not about who’s better,” Dan continued. “Crosby’s one of the best to ever do it. That’s not a debate. But seeing someone with a similar background carve out a place at the top?” He gave a small shrug. “That makes it feel possible.”
Chapter 6: Countdown
The holidays, the cancelled(? All-star game and some weird lockers room chat that ends in some funny games
Tim Thomas nudged Phil lightly with his elbow. “You packing for Canada, Captain?”
Phil huffed softly. “I’m already in Canada half the time.”
That got a few laughs, but Phil knew the Olympic break meant he had 2 weeks by himself, so he started thinking about his sudden free time.
Julien continued. “For everyone else, it’s a break. Recovery time. Rest your bodies, stay in shape, don’t do anything stupid.”
“Define stupid,” Wheeler called.
“Ask me before you do it,” Coach Julien answered dryly and the room laughed again.
Phil had stopped listening a few sentences ago. No All-Star. He had assumed he'd see Dan there.
Chapter 7: The Box
The last game before going to the Olympic break
Phil gave him another shove. Harder this time.
Dan answered immediately. The space between them disappeared. Not a fight yet, but close enough.
“Back off,” Dan shot back.
“Then stay out of the crease.”
“Fucking make me.” That did it.
Everything tightened. Phil’s gaze was darker, his breathing fast. The few times Dan had seen him like that were when they were together… in bed.
Chapter 8: Montreal Part 1
Dan and Phil finally spend the Olympic break together! Lots of fluff and sexy times with this boys discovering more meaninful and deep ways of approching sex
Dan was dreaming, definitely. Because in what universe he was so lucky to give Phil an instruction like “get on your knees” and less than a minute later the same Phil was asking him to fuck his mouth? And everything before 10AM. Dan took a deep breath and loosened the fists he'd made when he saw Phil on his knees.
A long time ago, a guy on the internet decided to share the good, the funny and the bad moments with the world. The most important thing he thought me was that sometimes you just need to Embrace the void and...
