When Eric invited him to go to a ski lodge, Owen was surprised at first. The Olympics were short and sweet for them but it's nice to see that the vet still thinks about him sometimes. Owen finds it cool that he's going to hang out with his little gang at a ski lodge. He never ever did skiing but there's a first to everything.
And it's an occasion to get to know some of the the NHL guys too. Eric being with Brendan Gallagher, he knows that there will be some Habs guys. He hopes they don't see them as an ennemy or something because he plays for Buffalo.
And unexpectedly, they welcome him with open hands and he finally get to meet some guys like Cole Caufield. But he also get to know some underdogs.
Like Corey Schueneman. Another giant defenseman for the Habs who made his debut this year with this weird season of injuries and stuff.
When Owen thinks about it, he has always been the taller one in his hockey teams. But in this case, he finally meets someone almost as tall as him. Someone who is not Eric of course because Eric is 5 centimeters smaller than him.
"You ok?" Corey asks him while he helps him getting up from the snow because Owen is bad at skiing.
Owen smiles back to him. "Yeah, thanks. I'm better with some skates on I think."
Corey laughs. "Same. It's just because I did some ski when I was younger."
They go back to the lodge before they head for the dinner. They kind of chat together all that long, getting to know each other a little better. Owen finds out that he really enjoys Corey's simple and heartwarming company.
After the dinner with the rest of the group, it's kind of like everyone to themselves. Owen helped with the dishes with Gally and Nick while Eric, Corey and Cole went for some log outside for the fireplace.
When Owen comes back, he finds Corey lighting up the fire by himself and he decides to join him. The other defenseman blinks his eyes a couple of times. "Everything alright?"
"Yeah." Corey laughs nervously. "It's just the stupid smoke from the fire is messing with my eyes... I may have a gone a little too far for it..."
"I know a trick for it. Wait." Owen suddenly remembers from his old camping trip that some cold water helps to rehydrated the eyes which is basically the case here. He comes back with a wet cloth. "Here, let me..." He clumsly put it on Corey's eyes as the other defenseman grabs his hands. He feels his heart racing.
Corey lets out a sigh of relief. "Wow, thank you. That really helped."
Owen blushes and he's glad that Corey doesn't see anything because he's most probably blushing at this point. "That's nothing... my grandma used to dobthat where we were going camping and stuff."
Corey puts out the cloth out of his eyes and blinks again. "Funny how it felt like a kaleidoscope for a hot second." He says. "You look good in these glasses, by the way."
"Oh. Eh, thanks..." But sometimes Owen doesn't like them much because he thinks he unattractive with it. "Really?"
Corey smiles honestly and then grabs one of Owen's hands. "Yeah. It adds a charm to the whole thing you know. Want... Want to hang out in front of the fire with me tonight? I mean... I would have my own nurse if something else happens to my eyes."
Owen smiles, blushes and laughs at the same time. "I'd really like that."
