[Poll #1836516]

No but seriously, hockey is ruining my life. I'm so behind on all my manga. :( KomaHoshi, One Piece, god where was I in Kimi ni Todoke, I don't even remember, and all those various BL series... There is always Baka Updates Manga but is it updated? Is my account updated? I CAN'T REMEMBER. /stress

IDEK what it is about hockey! I mean, all I do in fandom is lurk and read fic and watch videos and occasionally link things and have endless gchats with Mishy incepting her to write and coming up with other ideas I want other people to write. And, well, watch games and yell at the TV but that's, like, a separate thing. To be fair, it is a thing that takes up a LOT of my time...

meiface: also i want like all the tropes crammed into one fic

forochel: what tropes? there are so many

meiface: werewolf frat au arranged marriage

forochel: HAHAHAHAHA. how would you even get a frat au in with arranged marriage? pretend boyfriends, maybe.

forochel: wait no. can kaner be like just nobody and tazer's arranged to someone else

meiface: oooh. like notting hill

forochel: BUT REALLY HE JUST WANTS TO BE WITH KANER

meiface: YES. NO. IDK.

forochel: but he turns out to be the prince of fitzrovia or something, idek

meiface: oooh ok. tazer has an arranged marriage w/ someone else bc he's werewolf royalty. and kaner is this human (ergo a nobody) in the same frat. and tazer hates his arranged mate.

meiface: SO PRETEND BOYFRIENDS. HITTING ON KANER WHILE HE'S AT WORK AT THE COFFEESHOP. TAKING HIM OUT ON DATES. GETTING WASTED AT FRAT PARTIES AND MAKING OUT W/ HIM IN FRONT OF THE OTHER WEREWOLVES. making kaner wear his shirts and stuff.

forochel: laskdgjl WHAT A DICK. and kaner's slowly ~falling in love~ BUT IT'S ALL A LIEEEEEE

forochel: bam, plot point

elimination of the sens tonight has officially rendered the playoffs irrelevant to my life

ughhh hockey

I'm really upset about the Panthers' loss last night. :( I wanted both Sens and Panthers to win and then we would've had 7 cupless teams in round 2! Ugh Rangers, Devils. Although now I can pull for Flyers and Caps pretty wholeheartedly for the East, and the Kings-Blues matchup in the West should be interesting! They both have such great goalies and similar defensive styles.

OR IDK I COULD GO GROCERY SHOPPING AND READ MY MANGA AND SLEEP. ;__;

(deleted comment)

At first Tazer doesn't really mind his prearranged mate because at least Mike Smith is good at hockey, even if he's a crazy motherfucker who decided having pucks repeatedly fly at his face at over 90mph was fun. But as time goes on, Tazer finds out Mike Smith is a Terrible Person (he's my go-to villain right now okay!!) and causes kittens to die in distress, etc., so Tazer gets really annoyed because, like, if his mom had had to basically engage him to a crazy goalie, couldn't he have had Braden Holtby instead? He might be young and from a sort of new pack, but Tazer really thinks there is way too much weight placed on long lineages going back unto the beginning of time and werewolves.

Whatever.

He doesn't really think about it all that much because he's in college right now and thankfully that means his duties to the pack are minimal for the time being. Tazer can't lie - the formal dinners and crap he has to sit through with Mike Smith while their respective families sort of hover around them and look on? Not his idea of fun.

"I'm sorry, you know how to have fun? Do I know you?" So his brother's kind of a dick.

Tazer retaliates by joining a frat because, dude, he can so have fun. Plus it's college, right? Where you're practically expected to go crazy and do stupid things, because that will be about the only time in your life where it's sort of handwaved off.

Tazer's totally going to chill out and party hard and become, like, a master of beer pong or something. Even if all the sweaty people and half-warm beer is absolutely gross to his heightened sense of smell, his better coordination skills will totally help him dominate. It's a plan. He likes plans.

Patrick Kane was not in the plan.

But Tazer's just walking innocently through campus his first week contemplating which frat to pledge when he catches a whiff of something that nearly knocks him off his feet, it's so incredible. It smells like...~~freesia~~ ~~hockey~~ every good thing in life, family and pack and rolling around in the dirt and his favorite rare steak and sunshine and crisp air in his face as he runs --

Every wolf instinct Tazer has goes on high alert and his eyes dart through the crowds of people around him, tracking the source.

And that's how he meets Kaner, future frat brother, co-beer pong champion, and the reason Tazer nearly abdicates his position in werewolf hierarchy to elope. Also, the source of Tazer's incipient coffee addiction.

But he doesn't know any of this yet.

Please tell me there's going to be more of this! :DDDDD If there's anything that could cheer me up from the Panther's loss (SOOOOOOOUUUUUPY ;_; ) and all my rage over the trade-Kaner talk, it's the two of them in a werewolf soulbond with abdication politics and free rein for me to hate on Mike Smith.

(UGH I KNOW. SOUPYYY. FUCK THE DEVILS. I HOPE THE FLYERS CRUSH THEM.)

Johnny's heard of this whole "soulbond" thing. It's a little like the imprinting business Stephenie Meyer made up in Twilight except a lot less creepy, because it doesn't force feelings of love on anybody involved. It's more like a sympathetic buzz of feelings being in tune with each other, like a low level headache you didn't know you had until it disappeared and left you with a clear head. The thing is, every wolf has a potential for a soulbond. Every wolf ostensibly has their "other half" out there in the world.

The thing is, most of them don't ever run into their other half and they're just fine. They can choose their mates, find the person that they love and respect and cherish, and it's fine. It's not like they spend their entire lives pining for someone else or feeling incomplete. But for those rare wolves who did stumble across the other half of their soulbond - it was like things suddenly clicked into place. They could have someone else, sure, but they didn't want to. Or that's how Johnny's cousin explained it, and she was the only one he knew in the pack who had a soulbond.

She and her mate had never stood out among the other pairs in their pack, though. They seemed just as affectionate, as in tune, as anyone else. It didn't seem magical or anything.

Okay, so about the only thing about the bond similar to imprinting is that it occurs rarely within the werewolf community and it's considered a Big Deal. Kind of. Except for how you can totally choose to ignore it and still mate with someone else, although you just weren't as likely to.

Whatever.

Johnny doesn't even begin to realize until junior year that what he has with Kaner might've been a soulbond. He thought Kaner was just - you know, his best friend. His co-champion in beer pong. The guy he likes to hang out with most, even if the majority of those times Johnny spends rolling his eyes or wondering what Kaner is on.

But then Mike Smith shows up at college and Johnny is brutally reminded of the arranged marriage he's been happily ignoring for the past two years. And of how much a dick Smith is, jesus.

(Kaner agrees with him. "His face, like, just begs for a fist," he explains as he hands off a vanilla latte to the girl across the counter.

Johnny would feel worse about leaning against the counter sort of in everyone's way just to talk to Kaner, but this is kind of an emotional crisis, okay? Johnny needs Kaner to help him through it. He doesn't deal well with emotional crises.)

So somewhere between the twenty-minute chat ("bitching session," Kaner corrects) Johnny has at the coffeeshop where Kaner works and getting back to the frat house later, Johnny comes up with a plan. It's a brilliant plan.

"You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

It takes another few weeks for Johnny to figure out why slinging an arm around Kaner's shoulders and nosing at his jaw for a quick kiss feels so natural, why his wolf is almost always so content when he's just hanging out with Kaner.

When he does, he'll have a quiet freak-out. For now, he just looks seriously at Kaner and attempts to explain, seriously, the brilliance of having Kaner pretend to be his boyfriend.

(deleted comment)

Patrick totally knows that Tazer's a werewolf because they've been best friends for two years now, since freshman year, and that's not really the sort of thing you keep from your best friend - unless you're a dick, of course, and despite what other people have said about Tazer when they're mad that he and Pat have totally owned them at beer pong or Tazer's glaring at them into fulfilling their officer duties, he's not really a dick. Pretty much everyone secretly (or not so secretly, in Pat's case, but he's allowed because of his role as bet friend) in love with Tazer. The dude just exudes attractiveness, and that serious intensity? Actually kind of hot. Actually really hot.

So, okay, Pat maybe likes, loves, whatever, Johnny a little more than would be entailed by his role as best friend but it's not a big deal. Really. He tells himself this every time girls hit on Tazer at parties, on the quad, in class, at lunch, when Tazer stops by The Daily Grind where Pat works to talk or complain (bitch, Pat thinks with satisfaction) or just, like, say hi. Pat's seen a dude hitting on Tazer before too and it happens totally sober on a sunny afternoon. Pat has to look away, even though Johnny's confused blank stare is hilarious, because his chest goes tight.

Of course Johnny's popular. Pat knows that. It's fine, though, Pat's not going to make a big deal out of his unrequited feelings or whatever. He got over the part of his life where he made stupid decisions just for the sake of making them. College is a fresh start. That's what everyone says, right?

And it does feel like a fresh start. Meeting someone like Jonathan Toews, pledging Alpha with him, complaining about classes and roommates, going out together, hanging out and playing video games, getting drunk, owning seniors at beer pong - basically knowing Tazer has made Pat's entire college experience. He makes it so Pat can just enjoy his life as it now without thinking about his past and what he went through to get here.

So yeah. The feelings thing can just take a backseat. Pat can't lose Johnny to something stupid.

He always thought the stupid thing would come from him, though, and not Tazer.

"You want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

(So yes! Kaner knows Tazer is a werewolf and knows his family is Kind of a Big Deal, but he doesn't really know all the intricacies of werewolf hierarchies or the necessities of arranged marriages. All he knows is the stuff that gets media attention, like that sometimes werewolves mate with humans and soulbonds are, like, a thing. He figures Tazer will tell him whatever is worth knowing but Kaner's not really there to pry when they could be playing Mario Kart instead, honestly. So Kaner? Doesn't know that Tazer's basically engaged because it's something Tazer has been conveniently not thinking about while in college and having a good time with Patrick Kane.

As such, there will be Inevitable Misunderstandings later on.)

I'm hearing the ominous soundtrack theme that is Kaner's Troubled Past. I feel that this is going to become highly relevant to Johnny's interests very shortly. *chinhands*

OH MY GOD THAT ICON *______*

But also yes, someone mentioned hookers, and I was like clearly that somehow must be worked into this because ALL THE TROPES. So maybe Kaner will just have had a really troubled high school career or whatever.

I'm pretty much making things up as I go along. What is plotting, seriously? :D

(deleted comment)

Mike Smith is a dick. A creepy old dick.

The guy's like, practically thirty and Pat thinks he needs to stay the fuck away from college campuses and definitely the fuck away from the Alpha house. The first time he turned up, Tazer went all tense and rigid. Clearly he knew the guy because Mike Smith had been all, "Hey Jonathan," all familiar, like they were intimate acquaintances, which is total bullshit because anyone close to Johnny doesn't call him Jonathan and doesn't make him freeze up like that.

Pat just looks at Tazer after the creeper left, waiting for an explanation. He doesn't like forcing Johnny to talk about things he doesn't want to, like pack dynamics or missing home, since Pat appreciates that Tazer returns the favor. There are a lot of things Pat preferrs not to talk about too.

But Tazer twists his mouth, all unhappy, and hunches his shoulders. "He's...a werewolf," he finally says.

"Yeah, I figured."

"His pack and mine..." Tazer trails off, like he doesn't know how to explain it. "I've known him since I was a kid."

"A puppy," Pat says, like he always does. "A werepuppy." He grins and elbows Tazer and is rewarded with a half-hearted smile. "He always been that creepy, dude? I swear he was hitting on you or something. That's just gross." He shudders.

Tazer grimaces and shrugs a little and Pat decides that discretion is the better part of valor, or something like that, and lets it go, tugs Tazer off the bench in front of the house back inside so they can raid the pantry for snacks before camping out in front of the TV for challenging Seabs and Duncs over the air hockey table.

The thing is, Mike Smith keeps popping up out of nowhere. It's like a horrible version of Where's Waldo, if Waldo were old and skeevy and kept hitting on Tazer.

"What the hell," says Pat when Mike Smith pops up at the coffee shop because he followed Tazer there.

"What the hell," repeats Pat after the freak's finally gone and Tazer's leaning at the counter like always, looking ten times more stressed than usual. "Is he a stalker? Should we call the police? Can I at least punch him in the face?" To be honest, Pat's not entirely sure why Tazer hasn't punched him in the face. No one's ever really had to stand up for Tazer - well, mostly because everyone is secretly in love with him, but also because Tazer does a good job standing up for himself. It's not like him to let someone harass him to the point of looking so hunted. The circles under his eyes are darker than even during finals week.

It's probably some complicated werewolf thing. They have these complex hierarchies of relationships and rules about what's allowed and what's not. Pat's never been that clear on those, never really been interested since it didn't affect his life, but now - now it kind of does. If it's fucking up his best friend like this.

Even if Pat didn't love Johnny more than he maybe should, he would've done a hell of a lot for him. But Pat does have those, you know, feelings. So maybe there's a little bit of self-service, a little bit of selfish indulgence, when he takes three days less than the week Tazer gives him to think about the plan to agree.

Be Tazer's pretend boyfriend, help him keep that creep Mike Smith away? Have an excuse to touch him more than ever, maybe even get a kiss out of it?

Yeah, yeah. Pat's pathetic. He knows this.

He slings his backpack over his shoulder as he trails out of his 11:00 class on Wednesday to meet Tazer at the dining hall. "Okay," he says. "Sure. Yeah. Let's do it."

Tazer just looks at him for a moment. "You sure?"

"Yeah." Kaner punches him lightly in the shoulder. "Anything to save a bro's chastity."

Tazer finally laughs then. They head into the dining hall. "Asshole. Thanks."

(WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A CABANA BOY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CABANA??)

Johnny was frazzled by Mike Smith; that's the only excuse he has for his mistake in timing. The week after Kaner agrees to be his pretend boyfriend - six days, in fact, after that Wednesday Kaner said, "Yeah, let's do it," there's a full moon.

Johnny's thinking seriously about downloading an app for his phone or something. This is not something he has the luxury to lose track of.

Kaner knows about the werewolf thing, obviously. He knows Johnny's routine is to basically hole himself up in his room for the transformation, leaving their window open, then leaping out into the night for a run when it's late enough that he has a better chance of avoiding people.

That's not what happens this time.

This time, it's six days after they've started "dating". Honestly speaking, not that much has changed because they're still figuring out the parameters of what this pretense entails. Johnny sort of hates the idea of sitting around with a list talking about it and drawing diagrams of what's allowed or expected and what's not, but he's thinking it might be necessary. Right now, he and Kaner are basically meeting up for lunch and dinner, sometimes with the other guys but mostly on their own; they're hanging out in their room; they sit next to each other on the couch if they're in the house; Johnny let's Kaner put his feet in Johnny's lap or lean into his shoulder more - the only thing that's changed is that Johnny is making more of a conscious effort to touch Kaner now. Put an arm around his shoulders casually if they're walking through the quad or nudging their knees together under the table at lunch. They haven't exactly worked up to kissing or anything like that.

The idea of kissing Kaner makes Johnny's stomach clench with how much he wants it. His wolf growls in approval at the idea of pinning him down, marking him.

They really do need to talk about this.

Mike Smith's only popped up once in the past six days, showing up again outside the frat house on Saturday afternoon as some of the guys are setting up for their party that night. Duncs notices him first and eyes him, but doesn't say anything until the guy's been lurking for a good ten minutes. Then Duncs sends a text to Johnny, who's inside the house doing inventory on their kitchen and delegating like a good VP does.

"Motherfucker," Kaner swears when Johnny shows him the text. "Do you wanna go outside and, like, make out or something?"

Johnny scowls. "Subtle, Kaner."

He shoves down the small part of him that really, really does.

"Whatever. So what do you wanna do? I've never done this before, you know. You gotta give me some direction here, Tazer."

In the end, they do go outside, mostly so Johnny can tell Mike to get lost. He lets Kaner hang off his shoulders like an oversized fur coat or something and curls an arm around Kaner's waist when they head back into the house after telling Mike off. He hopes it's kind of a start of a suggestion, without being way too blatant about it.

Anyway, there's still a party that needs to be planned.

The party ends up a success and Kaner gets sloppy drunk and, like, snuggles a little into Johnny's arms after he careens into them halfway through the night. Johnny holds him a little closer than he should, fisting his hand in the back of Kaner's t-shirt, fighting the urge to just duck his head and nose along Kaner's jaw and down the column of his neck, maybe tongue along his collarbone. Instead they do shots and the rest of the night passes in a blur of noise and the overpowering scent and heat of Kaner pressed up against him the entire time.

Johnny is honestly impressed with himself for not having jumped Kaner the night before, inhibitions having been thoroughly lowered by alcohol.

It'll be nothing like fighting against his animal instincts come the full moon, though. Not with the wolf in control. Not with the wolf believing Kaner's his mate now.

So they're gonna have to talk. Johnny sits on the edge of his bed, grits his teeth, and texts Kaner to come to their room.

"Dude," says Kaner two minutes later, shutting the door behind him. "I was downstairs. You seriously couldn't have just yelled?"

"Yeah, no. Look, Pat. I think we kind of have to talk."

Kaner widens his eyes, palms up defensively. "Whoa. Are you breaking up with me? Is this a break-up talk, is that what this is?"

"Shut up and listen. No. The full moon is tomorrow night."

"Yeah, I know." And that's something Johnny will have to think about later, that Kaner managed to keep better track than Johnny did. "So what? We have to talk about how you're going to turn into a furry wolf like you do every month?"

"Yes. No. Not like every month." Johnny grimaces. He's usually not this bad with words.

Kaner makes a face and throws himself down onto Johnny's bed behind him, bouncing a bit before settling down. The length of his side is pressing against Johnny's back and Johnny finds himself relaxing a little even as Kaner lets out a long groan. "This'll be a great talk, I can already tell."

WEREWOLF TAZER SOOTHES MY SOUL

MY RAGE-FILLED WRITERLY SOUL

also I see wolf-form altercations with Mike Smith in the near future? perhaps? or just Tazer!wolf leaping into Kaner's bed and humping his leg.

(deleted comment)

(WELL. I DO LIKE DRINKS WITH UMBRELLAS IN THEM. :D)

They sketch out the boundaries of their dating pretense. "Do you wanna, like, diagram on a whiteboard or something," Kaner complains halfway through and Johnny actually considers it a moment because he and Kaner have a whiteboard hanging on the back of their door, inside, for leaving quick messages to each other. (It'd been Kaner's idea - Johnny thought texting would be sufficient but Kaner was determined to have the Ultimate College Experience and apparently that included whiteboard notes and dirty pictures.)

Kaner snags his shirt before he makes to get off the bed, groaning. "I'm kidding, Johnny. Yes, okay, so kissing and PG-13 PDA may sometimes be required, but no hand-holding or chick flick stuff, no R rated bits, got it. It's pretty simple, you know."

Actually Johnny got into the specifics of body parts and over/under clothes but, okay, Kaner kind of sums it up pretty accurately. "Er, yeah." He adds, "Um, but about tomorrow."

"When your furry side comes out to play? You know I've been around your wolf before, right?"

"It's going to be different, Kaner."

"Yeah?"

Johnny hesitates here because he's not sure how he can go about explaining that his wolf might mistake their pretend dating for real dating, especially if their pretend dating entails touching Kaner and leaving Johnny's claim all over. The wolf works on instinct, doesn't distinguish between what's real and what's not the way humans do. What's real will be Johnny's scent on Kaner, the way Kaner submits to Johnny's touches, the way other people won't be allowed to touch; what's real will be the desire to push Kaner down and fuck him hard.

He scrubs at his face. Well, that's not exactly new to Johnny's human side either.

He makes an attempt at a careful explanation to Kaner, leaving out his human feelings. Kaner listens.

"Okay," he says slowly afterwards. "So you - your wolf - might treat me like a mate tomorrow night because it can't tell we're only pretending. That's what you're saying, right? What does that even mean, though? Should I expect to be, like, slobbered over or --"

Johnny can practically see where that line of thought is going and it's contorting Kaner's face. His stomach twists hard, unpleasantly. "No, fuck," Johnny hastens to interrupt. "I wouldn't. I mean. There would be no - forcing. I wouldn't - it's not like that. Just maybe, you know. Possessiveness? So don't go hang yourself all over someone else, I guess?"

His spine's so tense he feels like it's about to snap. The wolf is growling under his skin, restless from his tension, unhappy. He kind of wants to die rather than be having this conversation right now.

"All right. I'll just stay in the room with you. I mean, I was kinda planning on it anyway. Dude, relax."

A hand runs up his spine and Johnny freezes. It strokes back down along the length of his back before he lets out a breath and relaxes into it. Kaner shifts behind him on the bed until he's sitting, sliding his hand off Johnny's back with a quick rub and pat. "Seriously. I doubt you could do anything to freak me out anymore." Johnny can't see his face anymore, but he can hear the grin in his voice. "I mean, after that time I saw you eat that rabbit and there was blood everywhere."

He can't help his own grin, reflexive. "You mean that time you saw blood everywhere and started shrieking like a four-year-old? I think there were tears, Kaner."

Kaner punches him in the shoulder as he slides to the edge of the bed next to Johnny. "Be nicer to your boyfriend, dickbag."

The only reasonable response to that is to pounce on Kaner and start a wrestling match.

Well, it's that or pounce on Kaner and kiss the everloving fuck out of him, but they're alone in their room - there's no audience to pretend for.

Johnny makes a mental note, feeling only slightly shamed, to take advantage of an audience next time.

Any way he can get him, a tiny part of him thinks pathetically.

THE PLAN IS ACTUALLY FOR MIKE SMITH TO SLIP SOME DRUGS INTO KANER'S DRINK BECAUSE I NEED SOME SEX POLLEN/FUCK OR DIE UP IN HERE. TAZER WILL BE SIMILARLY DRUGGED UP. Maybe the sad hooker past will come out in the tragic aftermath of the next morning?

Mike Smith, convenient plot device!

OKAY, MORE WILL COME LATER. /o\

OH MY GOD WHERE IS MORE OF MIKE SMITH, CONVENIENT PLOT DEVICE????

I WROTE A BIT MORE. BUT IT'S BORING. UGH HOPEFULLY I WILL MOVE THINGS ALONG NOW. IMMINENT FULL MOON!

That. Guh. That. Was the opposite of boring.

This right here is some of the hottest writing I've read recently: What's real will be Johnny's scent on Kaner, the way Kaner submits to Johnny's touches, the way other people won't be allowed to touch; what's real will be the desire to push Kaner down and fuck him hard. I mean, the hottest since I read this: fighting the urge to just duck his head and nose along Kaner's jaw and down the column of his neck, maybe tongue along his collarbone. Instead they do shots and the rest of the night passes in a blur of noise and the overpowering scent and heat of Kaner pressed up against him the entire time.

You're kind of really killing me with all the tension that's inherent to pretend boyfriends, and then adding werewolf soulbonds to that makes it exponentially more intense. And I'm loving the Johnny pov, but I'm wondering how much Pat's tuned into what's going on; I think it's a lot more than Johnny imagines.

I love all the little details, btw...whiteboard and feet in laps and werewolf phone apps and all. ♥

(deleted comment)

ahaha well I didn't want to spend much time coming up anything suitable while writing comment fic so Mike Smith was the easy choice. I HOPE HE FALLS INTO A DITCH AND DIES. >:(

OH MY GOD MEI THIS LEGIT MEANS THAT IN THE CONFRONTATIONAL SCENE

mike smith will have creepily actually broken into the frat house sdlkdjlkgjks

PRETEND BOYFRIENDS IS THE MOST MAJESTIC OF ALL POSSIBLE TROPES. I love this so, so, so, so much. Is there going to be some marking soon? ;)))))

(deleted comment)

I legit laughed out loud at children hookers. /o\ anyway!! Yes! Soulbonds should definitely happen (see above) and I'm sure Tazer or Kaner can have an adorable small child or something come visit. And...idk who will be a hooker. Maybe it is in Kaner's tragic hs past when he made inadvisable life decisions...

I love that goal. it's so amazingly hilarious. it's like that one goal of bojan krkic (OR HOWEVER THE FUCK IT IS YOU SPELL HIS NAME) where he just strolled up to the net.

ALSO YESSSSS THIS FIC. why am I even talking to you here. are there vampires in this universe, mei? I feel like there should be some kind of parcelling out of areas, just so we don't have to inveigle vampire related angst into this as well.

and omg, the thing is, when tazer's mum comes to visit she can smell jonathan all over kaner? and she just eyeballs him but doesn't say anything, because she is le boss. and it's also super obvious to every other werewolf in town, that they can smell the mate-ness on kaner but no one wants to break the peace just yet, so they're like eh whatever shit's going to go down and we'll all just go to ground when it does.

Edited 2012-04-27 18:40 (UTC)

NO VAMPIRES MY BRAIN MIGHT EXPLODE but they might go curtain shopping for, like, their frat house. or they had to do it once while they were pledging as one of the sundry tasks!

ahahaha omg yes Kaner is totally going to be all marked up as Tazer's in a SUPER OBVIOUS WAY to any werewolf but slightly less obvious to humans. so like, Tazer's mom drops by and takes Tazer out to dinner and invites Kaner along because she wants to meet her son's BFF - and then she smells Tazer all over him and kind of just raises a very speaking eyebrow at Tazer who gets kind of defensive, kind of embarrassed, and afterwards she has to pull him aside and have a serious conversation with him because, "Johnny, you remember the arrangement, right?"

And he's like, "Um, so, you know how my cousin has that soulbond? I think I might have that with Kaner."

And, huh. Well. That changes things.

THEN POLITICS. AND TAZER'S MOM BEING THE ALPHA OF THEIR PACK.

And while she's dealing with that, Tazer goes back to the frat house and does fratty things with Kaner as an excuse to basically drape himself all over Kaner and nose at his neck. "Fake boyfriends," he reminds Kaner, because he's a terrible person, and Kaner just lets him do it because Kaner is a great friend.

Yeah.

Great friend or starved for Johnny's touch? because the soul bond totally works both ways, and that low-level buzz has set into Kaner's bones and obviously he doesn't have the framework for understanding it. He treats it as part of that gut-deep attraction he's had for Johnny since Johnny first loomed out at him in the crowds during orientation, part of that slow certainty that he's falling inexorably in love with his stupid, stupid werewolf best friend.

CLEARLY THEY ARE JUST BOTH REALLY DUMB

but yesssss touching all the time and they both secretly love it and crave it but on the surface it's, uh, totally for their boyfriend pretense. Yeah.

Their frat bros have sort of just shrugged and moved on after the first two weeks of making jokes every five minutes. Now it's just Kaner and Tazer being Kaner and Tazer. There are more exciting things going on.

the thing is that tazer has basically been very tactile with kaner from the start? like, not tucking his face into kaner's neck whilst sprawled out on top of him in bed tactile, but definitely with the standing slightly too close and throwing an arm around him and tucking him into tazer's side.

so yeah, that transition wasn't really going to faze their frat bros.

the brilliance of having Kaner pretend to be his boyfriend

I think this sentence just about sums everything up.

THIS IS BAD, HOW CAN I KEEP IMAGINING HAWKS PLAYERS AS WEREWOLVES NOW ASJKDLASDJ

ahaha I just keep vomiting out commentfic in this post. /o\ AND YET WHEN I OPEN GDOCS--

There are few tropes I love more than pretend boyfriends. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. ALL THE TROPES.

HAHA THE PLACE YOU WRITE IN IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT YOU WRITEEEE

WRITE ALL THE TROPES?

Let's see what I've got so far: frat, werewolf, soulbond, arranged marriage, pretend boyfriend, coffeeshop. At some point there will be curtain-shopping, a visiting kid of adorableness, possibly tragic past as a hooker...

What else? :D

TRAGIC ACCIDENT RENDERING ONE OF THEM NEARLY DEAD AND/OR IMPOTENT

OH GOD AMNESIA!!! HOW COULD I FORGET.

Idk how to work that in though.

OR SEX POLLEN.

I deeply love avocado so of course I love it! nom nom noms. I've even had avocado trees in the backyard when I lived my parents. It was nice, but you have to be quick because the bats love them too!

Avocado is DELICIOUS. ♥

I wish I had an avocado tree!

I do not wish for bats, however.

Unless they are in the form of, idk, Tim Drake. :D?

/little caps dance! For whatever reason, there's a lot more Bruins fans/people from New England than Caps fans/people from the DMV at my school (which geographically makes NO SENSE but alas) so I got to do happy dances around everyone and gloat and cackle. WHERE ARE YOUR CHAMPS NOWWWWWW, BOSTON.

also the Flyers! Yay for them! Honestly wasn't expecting them to pull that off, but it was a nice surprise!

BRUINS. >:( Boston fans are so obnoxious, man. I''m glad they lost. But Caaaaaaaps ugh they lost to Rangers yesterday which makes me sad, but I am cautiously hopeful for the rest of the series.

Flyers today! They were the underdogs going against the Pens for sure but they really stepped up their game. I hope they keep it up. :D

I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE FOLLOWING THE PLAYOFFS. :D :D :D

I would be like TALK TO ME ABOUT HOCKEY but uh it's the end of the semester/finals season, isn't it? GOOD LUCK.

SERIES IS 2-2 KEEP PRAYING

I heard the Flyers game today was a... I'm not sure shitshow is quite the right word here, but... Not A Great Showing For The Flyers, to say the least. ;;

I am sort of following it! :D/ you, um, were right in that it is the end of the semester/finals season, so I'm usually not able to sit in front of the TV and watch things live, but I try to do recaps for teams I care about! I'm hoping the Caps hang in there, I'm going to be back in No.VA in a week and I can only assume D.C. is ecstatic because D.C. sports don't win things....

UGH THIS GAME. I HATE THE RANGERS, DIAF. GO CAPS GO. And DC definitely cares because probably only the Caps (and maybe Nationals?) don't totally suck. aslkdjfd we need them to win though. Wiiiiiin.

I HATE THE DEVILS TOO. STOP IT. STOP OUTPLAYING THE FLYERS. And Flyers, stop sucking. /o\ Ugh I love them so much now, it is awful.

Good luck with your finals! You're almost through!

Thanks for dropping by! I dream of the day I don't lose inspiration halfway and actually finish something, but my record's not looking so hot right now, haha.
