➠ @shawscandal gets a new regular

✘ ♕ ✘ New York was hands down one of Ilya's favorite cities to play in. There was always something to do there, and even though the locals hated him, that hate only fueled him further. The game was a tough one, after all, the Admirals were now cup defending champions. Boston lost, but only barely. He couldn't be mad, his team put up a fight. Rather than go to his usual clubs this night, though, he wanted to pay Hunter a visit. Though he'd already congratulated the other captain at the club in Vegas, he wanted to follow up on this idea that Hunter had about pooling hockey players (queer and ally alike) into some sort of force for activism.

And truth told, hanging out with the now out gay hockey player made Ilya feel a little less alone. Even if he was still in the closet. Amusingly enough, even when he went to the gay clubs and bars, he was just touted as being a wonderful ally. Who knew someone could be that straight passing?

The bar had a good crowd, though it wasn't packed. The moment Ilya walked in, Scott Hunter's smile fell and he rolled his eyes. "What? So sad to see a real hockey player in the same room? Or are you just grumpy is past your bedtime?" That earned him a 'Fuck you, Rozanov', much to his delight, causing the Russian to chuckle as he went to the bar.

Almost instantly, his attention was diverted when he beheld the man behind the counter. At once, Ilya knew that this man was going to be a problem and he looked forward to it. "What's good here?" he asked with a sly smirk, leaning an elbow on the bar.

@ kgrady on instagram: went to dollywood and all we got was this break up. @shawscandal #DollywoodRoundTwo?

Mostly , Ryan volunteered to get drinks because it gave him an opportunity to take a break from socializing . He loves Fabian more than anything , but the fans can be a bit much sometimes . And currently , they're still surrounding his boyfriend at the table that they've claimed in the VIP area . Or rather , what he's pretty sure is the VIP area . There's only one other reserved table and currently , that's occupied by Eric Bennett and Scott Hunter . Still though , Ryan is planning on lingering a few minutes at the bar just to get a break from socializing . That is , at least , until he spots Kyle and inwardly winces . The last time he saw Kyle , he barely got a word out and Fabian teased him about it for days afterwards . Ryan isn't easily flustered , but when it comes to pretty boys with a sharp tongue , well , it's safe to say that he has a bit of a weakness . Ryan exhales when Kyle notices him and his shoulders fall . " Another round please , " He states , leaning his forearms on the counter , watching the table with Fabian out of the corner of his eye to make sure that none of the fans get too handsy or familiar . " Any of those guys regulars that I need to worry about ? " He asks , glancing back at Kyle and trying his best to brace himself for the somewhat-familiar brand of bartender flirtatiousness that he's come to expect from the younger man . / @shawscandal !

kyle cut her off an hour ago . which was probably smart , considering she was teetering on the edge of hitting on the hot beefy guy in the corner and that would have been a terrible mistake . for many reasons . the most obvious of which is that the kingfisher clientele is , by nature , not attracted to her . so , she's spent the past hour in mopey silence , picking at the plate of fries kyle slipped in front of her to soak up her pity party liquor , and sipping on a glass of water . she would have left if she knew that it would only be postponing the inevitable . which is why , when kyle stops in front of her after finishing closing and gives her that look , caroline knows better than to try and evade the topic . " do you ever feel like... like you're doomed to be alone and miserable ? and like , there's not a single person in the world that loves you ? and the ones that do they just... " her wrist flicks vaguely , " leave ? " / @shawscandal + trauma blonding .

I love seeing people take a less loved character from the series and make them very fleshed out and real and believable and delightful and @shawscandal is doing just that. I love the depth of thought going into every reply and how clearly passionate Berry is about Kyle.

vaguely plotted starter for @shawscandal

Eric looked at himself in the mirror, he scowled at the appearance that looked back at him. He thought maybe the shirt he was trying on was just not a stretchy material, maybe it would billow out when he wore it. No. It clung to his bicep, every inch of pecs were highlighted. "Are you sure this is the right size?" He called from the changing room to Kyle. He shimmied into the jeans, and held his breath to do them up. "Jesus.." Eric breathed out, looking at again a far to tight pair that clung to him. "This...can't be right." Turning to look at himself again, the pants really flattered his ass he had to admit. But, that was pretty much the only plus that he could see from this. Opening the door, he looked at Kyle and shoved his hands into his pockets. "This isn't right, this can't be. Did I gain weight?" Course, he knew that he would since he left hockey but he was still working out twice a day and eating healthy. So, how could he have gained this much weight?

➠ @shawscandal asked : You played through that injury, didn't you? You idiot.

✘ ♕ ✘ The comment caused Ilya to blow a raspberry as he waved off the concern. "Is nothing. I've played with worse." Which, while true, didn't make it any easier that night while he played with a fractured cheekbone. Almost the whole right side of his face was marred with deep purple and green bruising and the cheek itself was swollen and angry with the exertion from the game.

Despite his ghastly appearance, Ilya didn't want to waste one of his few nights in New York. It was a chance to once again see the bartender who'd charmed him so easily. "Kyle, is fine. Really. Can I have a beer now, please?" He did his best to angle his right cheek away from view, his thumb rubbing his nose as though that would also hide it.

Max’s whole body is buzzing off the high of another win. Everyone had been feeling it. Carter even invited everyone out to celebrate, promising at least a few rounds of free drinks, and Max is actually very tempted to go for once. Which has him rushing through his shower and dressed in record time. Hair still dripping, and bag slung over his shoulder, Max pulls the door open and steps into the hall. As soon as he turns, he sees that familiar gorgeous face.

“Kyle?” He can’t help the growing smile, or the way his cheeks heat up with blush. “I, um… I don’t think you’re supposed to be back here?” Or maybe he is? Honestly, Max is still new to the team and Kyle is Kip’s friend — he’s his friend ( or something, max hasn’t had the courage to ask ). So maybe Hunter told them both to come back. But as Max looks around he doesn’t see Kip or Hunter anywhere. Probably already gone home. So then Kyle is… just here. For some other reason. For someone else. Max holds onto the thought that maybe, just maybe, Kyle came to see him. And he had just basically accused him of being somewhere he’s not allowed to be so obviously, this is going great.

“Sorry — that’s not what I meant.” Max says quickly, nervously pawing at the back of his neck. “Did you watch the game?”
