꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦
✦ dustin becomes your #1 fan IMMEDIATELY. he thinks it’s so hot cool that you can HIT people, ON purpose, ON skates.
✦ in fact, he LOOOVES seeing you in your element; jaw set, focused, confident, he blinks and looks at you absolutely enamored, swooning over you
✦ even if he doesn’t understand the rules, he comes to your every match (he’d rather die than miss one).
✦ when you accidentally commit a foul, he defends you, whenever you knock someone down or score, he tells EVERYONE that you’re HIS girlfriend.
✦ he defends you like life depends on it generally, if anyone makes a dumb misogynistic comment like “Isn’t this aggressive for girls?” Dustin will snap back immediately
“I’m about to get aggressive with you.”
or
“She could absolutely destroy you.”
✦ and at your matches he ALWAYS comes with signs if they’re allowed cheering not for your team, but for YOU specifically
✦ you try and teach him how to skate at a certain point, he insist he’s “basically a natural” before trying. He very much isn’t and it’s just to impress you.
You hold his hand as he wobbles on the wheels, letting out a nervous laugh, he refuses to let go of it even when he’s reached stability.
“I-It’s for safety!” He insists
“Dustin you’ve killed thousands of demogorgons.”
“That’s not the point—!”
✦ LOVES how fearless you are, he’s already brave himself but he loves how fearless and badass you are. He looks at you with his jaw dropped as he sees you laughing yourself into a group of girls without hesitation. Whenever you fall you get back up and hit harder, and he finds that insanely impressive.
✦ with that, he finds your bruises pretty. Calls them your “battle scars”.
He gently pokes one “Looks like it hurts.”
“It’s just a little scratch, don’t worry about it.” You put it down like it’s nothing
And he just looks at you with heart eyes.
Also while you guys cuddle he kisses them “Tell me if i hurt you, okay?”
✦ while you’re stretching on the floor, he loves going on about D&D, his latest campaign, science facts, or the new obsession he has. Will fall in love if you ask questions and actually listen as you’re stretching and preparing yourself for practice
✦ he kisses your helmet before matches, it’s quick and it’s like your lucky kiss. You tease him about it but never stop him. Also whenever you win a match after you receive the kiss he acts like you won the super bowl.
✦ i feel like he’d ask you lots of questions, just to understand you a bit better
“Is it worse to be knocked down or shoved out?”
“Okay, but how do you not fall when someone hits your side?”
“Could roller derby..be useful against Vecna?”
You answer every single one, even if you’re exhausted
✦ he’d definitely draw or doodle on your skates if you let him, it’s not amazing, but it’s sososo pure and made with so much love
✦ if your team sells merch (like bottles, caps, shirts) he’d definitely buy them. Like one day you’ll just see him with a cap with your team’s logo and when you ask him about it he’s like
“Hey, i gotta show support for my favorite team with my favorite derby skater”
✦ whenever you lost matches he’d always comfort you and hug you after, offering to go out and grab ice cream to “get your mind off it”, assuring you that you did amazing and the referee wasn’t being fair at all
✦ one time during a match you got hurt, like badly, blood coming out of your nose, you had to be brought out. He ran towards you and assured you were doing fine
“Are you okay? Do you need some ice?”
he doesn’t leave your side until he’s sure you’re doing well.
✦ after every game he gives you a big hug and tells you how proud he is of you, no matter if you lost or won, and how beautiful you looked while playing

At derby tonight we did a drill from hell, full 2 minutes back to back no lapping the track, and I decided to jam to get ready for this weekends scrimmage, and I hit my second wind around the minute mark and didn’t fully give up until around a minute 45 seconds. I’m so proud of myself and the people around me are being super amazing and supportive. I just need to tell more people because I used to get winded and give up before even hitting a minute
