Introducing Clark Kane/Superkaner. Superpower: shufflin.
This is the greatest video in the world.
My favorite part is how Tazer's says, dead seriously the way he does, "It's a nice shirt, it looks good on him," and everyone else is like, "No, god, that's a terrible shirt."
TAZER, YOU HAVE NO TASTE. THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH.
Kaner, for example. I mean, seriously, Tazer is the Most Judgmental. Here he is judging New Yorkers for eating hot dogs (and then running away from pigeons), and when asked if he has any NHL superstitions, he's all, hell no, because they're STUPID. Kaner is like this glaring exception of terrible life choices that Tazer seems unable to see properly. Or maybe he does see all of Kaner's failings, mocks him for them, but is stupidly in love with him anyway because he has no taste.
Tazer, do you judge yourself a little bit? I figure he totally does but he can't help it anyway.
Sharpy's "oh my god" is also pretty glorious as is Soupy being totally dazed with horror. Ugh, I'm sad I got into the Hawks after he left - from all the interviews (especially with Joey the Junior Reporter), he seems like a really great guy and hilarious too.
Whatever. Haters gonna hate but Kaner's gonna just keep shufflin'.
So

HE IS A FUCKING COCKTEASE IS WHAT HE IS
THAT MOUTH HAUNTS TAZER'S DREAMS
but he totally sees it as a weakness that he just has to EXERCISE MORE CONTROL OVER
especially the way his mouthguard dangles from the corner after he scored that goal against the Rangers
and how red and spit-shiny it looked
Kaner never learns. it's like how he should know better than to go out and get wasted and up to drunken antics when he knows everyone's got a camera phone these days.
Tazer could really live without all those pictures of Kaner out looking like he's having the time of his life without Tazer
especially when tazer is feeling like he's the worst captain in the world. it's his 12th game out for the hawks, and even if the hawks manage to get into the playoffs, who knows who tazer will be back out on the ice, leading the line. he has to get better soon, HAS TO. cue angsty crying into the pillow and eating of ice cream straight from the carton
and tazer's feeling kind of put out, justifiably, so he's like WHATEVER, IT'S YOUR FAULT, ASSHOLE. except probably less shouty and more sulky and pissed.
and kaner's like, man, i know missing all these games is tough on you, and then he's strangely sympathetic and understanding in a really bizarre and unexpected way, because he gets it, he does, except that's not what tazer's mad about at all
tazer totally doesn't mean to get hard but he can't help staring at kane's mouth, which is red from where he's been biting it as tazer yells and now it's half-open as kaner pants on top of him and fuck.
and so what if he picks up sometimes, he's frustrated too and this is how he deals with it. it's normal. orgasms are totally scientifically proven to be good stress relief. maybe tazer needs to have some orgasms, he's been wound so fucking tight lately.
but tazer still seems kind of off and shifty. he won't meet kaner's eyes half the time and mutters when he bothers to reply to kaner's cheerful stream of chatter. like, dude, is he still pissed? kaner puts up with it for half the movie before he gets annoyed and nudges tazer's knee with his own where they're sitting next to each other on the couch.
(ugh, i can totally imagine patrick kaner having something douchetastic like chinese characters he doesn't understand, OR A TRAMP STAMP)
and so tazer judges himself too
and yes on the inadvisable tattoo, esp. since it must playing practice the next day painful as FUCK
and he's like, "what's wrong? why are you moving like that?"
CUE SAFE AND SANE BUTT SEX LECTURE FROM TAZER
BITTERLY JEALOUS INSIDE
BUT HIDING IT AS BEST HE CAN
CAN'T HELP MAKING A SNARKY COMMENT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SEX LECTURE ABOUT HOW KANER'S EXPANDED HIS HORIZONS TO INCLUDE GUYS
and kaner is like what the FUCK. first of all, NO, you're wrong. and second of all, it could've been a girl. and third of all FUCK YOU.
UGH, WHY SUCH A FAILBOAT, TAZER
just push kaner down and fuck him until he cries okay?
and swearing at him for being an asshole
and THEN tazer will fuck kaner until he cries
(because kaner cries at everything, he's an emotional guy)
they're just the WORST
And then I had another conversation with
when he's drunk, he totally calls kaner babe
LET'S WRITE THAT
five times kaner passed it off as 'tazer's drunk' and one time he stopped and was like 'um wait, what.'
but tazer takes it seriously
and at least a few times kaner does it back
bc he thinks it's a joke
and tazer's drunk
so tazer's like, hey babe pass me that beer
and kaner's like, hahaha sure HONEY
and tazer's all beams and drapes himself all over kaner
and tazer's in his happy place
where, like
tazer totally crowds kaner into a corner, and he's leaning over him, arm braced over kaner's head or something
and he's breathing hot against kaner's face and kaner can smell the alcohol, which, well, it should be gross
but it's actually really hot
even sloppy drunk
he can't think straight, obviously, since tazer is actively participating in this madness.
actively propagating it, even.
but tazer's also breathing on him and leaning up over him and just, staring at him.
okay, the squeak is still forthcoming, because this just means that tazer's breathing on kaner's lips now and kaner is so fucking confused, he has either had too many or too few beers to deal with this.
but then tazer puts his hand on kaner's thigh.
okay, kaner's dick is definitely not confused, but unlike what other people think he doesn't think only with his dick.
"hey, babe," tazer breathes back, and that is just goddamn unfair.
he's not even speaking in a monotone. kaner might be able to handle it, but there's, like, actual intent there.
and -- hold on, wait, wait. is this gay chicken? because kaner can do that. this has to be gay chicken. there is no other explanation.
so he sort of leans up, braces his hands on tazer's chest, and -- whoa, tazer's pupils are actually dilating. he's really drunk.
"hey, buddy," kaner says again, scooting back a bit, and -- um, tazer is totally pouting, what the fuck. no one else would probably be able to tell, but he is.
and he's saying it in a really greasy tone
you can only be smooth whilst playing gay chicken.
but tazer is like, starry-eyed with want
it would be hilarious
if his attempt at really greasy tone
was actually less sleazy
than his attempt at 'smooth'
anyway!!
tazer blinks rapidly, and kaner thinks, hah, gotcha. but then tazer smiles, stupid and soft, says "sure" and backs off a bit. the hand braced over kaner's head slides down over his shoulder and down to grip his forearm, and it feels too intimate. then kaner's stumbling a bit as tazer pulls him up, and -- whoa, how far is this going?
so kaner figures it would make some sort of crazy sense that tazer would take gay chicken so seriously
the air outside the bar's like a slap in the face and it definitely sobers kaner up a bit so he's like, maybe it's time to stop before this gets too far. but then tazer's hailing a cab and the ride back to tazer's is quiet -- tazer isn't saying anything, he's just got kaner's hand captured in his and he's playing with kaner's fingers
and kaner doesn't dare say anything.
how are they keeping score here anyway?
and he turns his head and he's right there and looking at kaner, pupils blown and that is really unfair, because kaner gets so dizzy he's pretty sure that's at least twenty points to tazer and tazer hadn't even really done anything.
(why are they so gay for each other)
kaner's life is so hard.
he doesn't even dare look at tazer's lap, because that would just make it even gayer. and not the gay chicken kind of gay.
tazer's got their fingers loosely locked together, and that's -- really nice, but also taking a few steps back, so minus a couple of points there. he's also tugging them towards his bedroom, and kaner's mind is just not going there, okay? tazer's his best friend who's really drunk and playing a ... really drunken game of gay chicken.
"uh," he says, when tazer collapses onto his bed and gives his hand a tug, eyes wide and dark.
"hey, buddy," he cautiously sits next to tazer. "you should probably get some sleep."
"sleep," tazer agrees, his eyes crinkling as he nods and smiles, and kaner's about to, like, breathe a really huge sigh of relief and then get the fuck out when tazer sways forward and presses his lips against his.
it's just a gentle, dry kiss, and it lasts forever and a second, before tazer blinks, his lashes fluttering against kaner's cheeks.
he leans back, by like half an inch, and murmurs, "I'm really glad I did that," before closing his eyes and kind of listing to the side,
and, seriously, what the fuck is kaner supposed to do with that?
so kaner, who is still kind of drunk, and also half-hard, and 100% confused, just pushes tazer fully onto his side and tugs his shoes off. he can't help it -- he rests his hand on tazer's head before standing up and getting out of there.
/THE END OF THIS PART
We all dream of the day where we can write actual fic instead of just spinning gleeful scenarios in comments and chat.

Seriously, Tazer's taste in men is worse than Kaner's taste in shirts. DDDD:
no subject
meiface: also, kaner's getting kind of hard and he's not sure if that's normal in gay chicken or not.
forochel: LOLOLOL
kaner's life is so hard.
he doesn't even dare look at tazer's lap, because that would just make it even gayer. and not the gay chicken kind of gay.
KANER WHY ARE YOU MADE OF SO MUCH FAIL
no subject
And Tazer reconsiders everything he holds dear in life. What on earth is wrong with him?
No but seriously, watching all the Inside Hockey clips about Kaner and his family, it's so easy to tell how much they love each other and I'm like, under all that terrible hair and sleazy douchebaggery, he really is a good kid. ;__;
no subject
It also features more Kaner being awesome with kids moments. God, I hate how he makes my ovaries feel sometimes. Ugh.
no subject
I'm trying to convince
no subject
Confused but going along with it Kaner is the greatest, oh my god. He would totally be incepted into the most ridiculous situations because of trying to play it cool. And Tazer as a touchy, happy drunk kind of breaks my heart, because that's probably the most he's smiled ALL YEAR. AND HE WON'T EVEN REMEMBER IT IN THE MORNING D; Mann, this is making me want to write all the angsty drunk!Tazer fic.
That said, this is AMAZING and there needs to be more. So much more.
no subject
no subject
Oh my god, I don't want to say I have a ~thing~ for characters calling each other babe, BUT I DO I HAVE A THING FOR IT OKAY, IT'S A TERRIBLE THING.
And it would be SO MUCH GREATER/MORE CRUSHING coming from Tazer, knowing that he probably represses the shit out of every awful, uncaptainly urge he gets around Kaner, just flat out refuses to act on any of the weird pent up longing he has to pull Kaner close or shove him up against a wall or run a finger over his stupid stupid mouth.
And poor Kaner would be so confused at first when suddenly faced with like, a lapful of happy, affectionate starry-eyed Tazer, but then he'd move on pretty quickly to being kind of hurt and pissed off that it takes Tazer getting shitfaced drunk, takes him being practically being unable stand on his own two feet actually for him to finally touch Kaner, because Kaner's noticed alright, it's kind of hard not to when your Captain goes out of his way not to make any sort of contact with you outside of the occasional post-goal brohug.
So yeah, Kaner's a little pissed at Tazer, but not nearly so much as he's pissed at himself for being so pathetic about it, his whole body lighting up with every touch like he's been starving for it, and didn't even know until Tazer got smashed that first time and kickstarted this brand new trend of invading Patrick's personal space and calling him babe, all husky soft and not even a little bit ironic sounding, jesus christ.
Oh god, I do not even know how this got so long. Turns out freakish repressed pining captains getting all uninhibited and handsy and confusing the fuck out of their oblivious partners gives me ALL THE FEELINGS /o\

[info]nicolasechs: (UGH SO TORN, DOES TAZER GO FOR IT OR DOES HE REPRESS, REPRESS, REPRESS SOME MORE?)

[info]nicolasechs: (OKAY THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO SADISTIC. I'M GLAD YOU'RE WITH ME)
AHHHH PERFECTION. I see in your comments that you are going to make this Real Boy Fic soooooo I won't even harass you about it. A++ POST THE END.

I'm making an attempt here. Let's get drunk and handsy, Tazer!
