“I’m scared of you deciding I’m not what you need,” Jonny admits, voice low and hand trembling, “but that doesn’t mean I don’t want you, alright?”

Patrick lets out a shaky breath, and then shakes his head hard and fast, because, “You’re right, that was stupid.”

[1988ficquotes]

Patrick was still in his helmet, but he ripped it off in one harsh move. He grabbed Jonny by the front of his uniform and kissed him. Jonny flailed for a few seconds, too shocked to be graceful. He and Patrick rarely indulged in PDA in front of the team and never at the rink. But Patrick didn’t let up and after a second or two, Jonny settled his hands on Patrick’s upper arms, squeezing lightly through the padding.

Patrick pulled away and rested his forehead against Jonny’s. “I am really fucking pissed at you.”

“I know.”

“You scared the hell out of me.”

“I know.”

[1988ficquotes]

Pat realizes that he’s never actually felt as close to Jonny as he does these days, like somehow after ten years – holy shit, an entire decade – his irritation that grew into begrudging friendship and then into a pesky crush has become one of the most solid relationships of his life. Jonny is just always there, hovering on his peripheral, in one way or another.

– catching feelings, by novajanna

[1988ficquotes]

Jonny pulls him inside and runs a hand down his side to his waist. Patrick shudders at the touch, muscles starting to unclench. Jonny pulls him in, tight, close, and Patrick sags against him, letting Jonny take all his weight and soaking up the touch.

They stand like that for a long, blessed minute, and then Jonny walks them over to the couch and lies on his side and holds Patrick close, arms and legs wrapping around him. Patrick finds his mouth and gives him an urgent kiss, one, two, and then turns his face into Jonny’s neck and lets it all wash over him.

It’s like sinking into a warm bath on a freezing day. It’s—it’s wanting something so badly and finding out that the thing you want does exist, that it’s just as good as you thought it was, that it’s actually enough to make you okay. It’s Jonny, holding him like otherwise his body might fall apart.

– Tame the Roads That Can’t Be Tamed, by Linsky

[1988ficquotes]

For his part, Patrick looks at the Stanley Cup and remembers burning with the fullness and the harshness of victor’s joy, not once but twice, and no less sweet the second time around. Screaming until his throat was sore, laughing until the joke sustained itself, lips and bare hands pouring their thanks and their triumph into the trophy.

What’s the point of hockey, in the end, if not that feeling?

You fight. You win, or you don’t. You give your best and it’s enough, or it isn’t.

“Single combat,” Patrick says. It’s a pity he hasn’t got gloves on, or he’d throw them down. “I challenge you. For him.”

[1988ficquotes]

I’ve never needed what you guys have to make me happy,” he says.

“There are so, so many things I could say to that,” Seabs laughs exasperatedly. “But let’s go with,so how happy are you right now, Jonny?”

Jonny hopes that’s a rhetorical question because he hasn’t got an answer for it.

“Thought so,” Seabs says, gentler now. “Being alone doesn’t make you a better hockey player, it doesn’t make you a better captain, or some beacon of self-sacrifice and nobility, Jonny. It just makes you - alone.

Your fic ‘just to break my own fall’ is helping me through a rough time. Thank you so much.

Aaaaaah that’s incredibly gratifying. I’m so sorry you’re having a rough time, anon, but I’m glad the story is helping you. I was thinking the other day that that’s one of the stories that most reflects my actual life (that and It Feels Like I’ve Been Locked Up Tight – put the first 90% of those stories together and you have most of my romantic experiences in a nutshell). I don’t know if that’s also true for you – I hope not; Pat has a tough time in that fic – but if so, know that you’re DEFINITELY not alone.
