colleen price is used to being the opposite of her brother in every obvious way . short where he's tall , lithe where he's built , loud where he's quiet . back in school , she's the one that would get detentions and write ups for picking fights against the boys that would make fun of him . but in every way that actually matters , they're the same . colleen navigates through the packed bar easily , ducking under arms and around bodies , grinning ear to ear as she spots the table in the corner . ryan mentioned that this was their tradition , but as she's supposed to get in town tomorrow instead of tonight , she knows that they'll be surprised enough to see her . colleen spots her brother at the bar , probably waiting to pick up a round of drinks --- or using it as an excuse to get a bit of a break from the noise and socializing , but colleen bypasses him for the other figure at the table . " fabian salah ! " she practically bounds up to the other man , throwing her arms around him in a tight hug . " oh my god , you're gorgeous . and you smell good --- can you please give me a makeover while i'm here ? " / @rinksaint , liked for some little sister energy !

@rinksaint said: i said i'm fine, please just drop it. { for rose from Shane }

"Yeah because that's totally what someone who's fine sounds like. C'mon, what's up?"

Rose knows that she shouldn't pry, that maybe she doesn't really have a right to anymore. They're friends, yeah. Good friends. But she doesn't know what that means to Shane, that if that means she has a right to know private things about him anymore. She crosses her arms, frowns. Well, she doesn't like seeing him upset anyways. Part of her thinks that this is about the guy that he's hung up on. This mystery guy that she's still trying to figure out, but....

"You can talk to me if you want. I'm all ears. That's what friends are for, right? No reason to keep it to yourself."

@rinksaint liked for a lyric starter & gets one for scott!

twenty one pilots - navigating.

he'd been asked to speak at the nhl awards , as a former player - and at first? riley had almost said no. THIS WAS NOT THE ENVIRONMENT HE WANTED TO BE IN , surrounded by people who had turned a blind eye to his struggles ; mocked him in commentary and then had brought his sexuality up when rumours had surfaced. it had taken everything to stand up on that stage and speak up about how mental health needed to be taken more seriously. now he's at the bar , ordering an orange juice to stop himself ordering a whiskey.

seeing scott hunter , he takes a shaky breath. another hockey superstar - he reminds him a little of adam , but not in a way that hurts. if anything , he respects scott , his bravery - his determination. MAYBE IF THINGS HAD BEEN DIFFERENT , riley might have been able to be brave too , back when he was playing. "This haze around my face makes me feel all alone." he mutters , taking a sharp breath. "being back here - it's like i'm waiting for someone to say something. maybe i shouldn't have come."

" i need a favor , " she's pacing in her hotel room , phone grasped loosely in her hand , her free hand rubbing at the back of her neck . she's been in this industry so long that it's not often that it gets the better of her . but sometimes it gets loud and overwhelming . and lately , it all just feels loud . people always sneaking pictures , friends chasing fame , and then there's the whole mess with her love life . rose chews on her lip as she tries to find the right wording for her request . " i have a premiere this weekend in montreal . and i just... " this is the vulnerable part , the part that she has to force out . " don't want to go alone ? " her free hand drops as her pacing does and she does one of the exercises one of the many therapists she's seen has recommended . wiggles her toes into the lush carpet , grounds into the feeling of her feet in the ground . " i was wondering if you'd go with me . as a friend . and only if it doesn't cause an issue with ilya , obviously . " the more she thinks about it , the worse the idea might be . but the more she thinks about it , the more she doesn't want to face all of it alone . / @rinksaint , for shane !

[TXT] : please come get me before i make worse choices. {from fabian - the worse choices probably being more shots of tequila lmao}

[ TXT: Fabian 💖 ] Girls night with Vanessa went well, I'm guessing? [ TXT: Fabian 💖 ] I'll be there in 10, do you think you can keep from making worse choices until then?

@rinksaint liked for a lil spice

Shane should not be doing this. He should not be letting Troy Barrett make out with him while stumbling to the bedroom and pulling his clothes off. But he is. He is he is he is. Shane lets out a choked noise when his legs hit the bed and he tumbles backwards, laughing breathlessly. God, Troy is so fucking nice to him. Troy is so good to him. He shouldn't be using Troy to fill the Ilya shaped hole in his chest, but--well, fuck.

He's really gotten himself into a mess, yet he still can't find it in himself to care.

He pulls his shirt off and pulls Troy to him, kissing him desperately, hungrily. His hands cup his face, cheeks flushed, heart pounding, a slight whine escaping him. "Fuck," he mutters against his lips, laughing a little. "You wanna keep going?"
