August Combo Challenge

[mockturtletale]

So we're at that point in the offseason when things are slowly but surely starting to pick up speed again with camps and crazy player training combos, there seems to have been a pretty substantial rise in the number of people in and around hockey rpf fandom, and it's been a minute since we've seen a friending post. Thus;

5. more as the story unfolds (Kane/Toews)

Jonny should have known better than to give Patrick ideas.

They’ve been friends for years now, and Jonny is tempted to say he knows Patrick in ways that are somehow even more than that; he knows Patrick better than he’s ever known another person.

There’s really no excuse for it.

“But are you one hundred percent certain that you’re good to go? Like the doctors said so, right? Did you get a second opinion? When was the last time you experienced a symptom? Did you just squint? Oh fuck, are you sensitive to light still? Jonny that’s not good, you need to--”

“No you need to shut the fuck up, Kaner. I’m good. Totally concussion free, and I’m not talking about this again until I’ve got another microphone shoved in my face, so unless you made a career change while I was out, you can walk away now

“So tell us, Toes. How do you cope with being so mediocre? Isn’t it incredibly difficult to have to play alongside players of the great Patrick Kane’s caliber? Don’t you get embarrassed every time you’ve got to share the ice with such a talented, good looking sports hero? Our viewers at home are dying to know how you deal with him constantly showing you up. Do you cry yourself to sleep at night? The world would understand, Jonathan

Patrick keeps it up all afternoon, he texts Jonny stupid fucking questions when they head home to nap and refuel, and then he picks it back up again in the locker room before the game.

He’s in high spirits when they get out onto the ice, scores two goals and sets Jonny up for one, points at him across the ice when he scores like he’s Keanu Reeves in The Replacements.

He’s a pain in Jonny’s ass, is what he is, but every small annoyance is outweighed a hundred times over by the smile on his face when he scores, and how he shares it with Jonny first.

They win, because they’re awesome, and Jonny doesn’t mind when Patrick follows him home. He wouldn’t have minded if they’d lost.

“We join you now live from Jonathan Toews’ inner sanctum. This is where the magic happens, eh Toews

They are both such adorable weirdos.

Compatibly weird and weirdly compatible!

eeeeeee!!! i LOVE when i prompt something and someone's brain takes it to a place i couldn't have imagined myself! i love how this was full of that easy, chirping camaraderie we're so familiar with with them, but there was this underlying vein of something else, and just the way it came out THROUGH that joking (ASS COMMENTARY, hahahaha) felt so natural, but also surprisingly sweet. this line made me GRIN: Patrick holds an empty fist out to Jonny, and Jonny is tempted to bite it.

as did the little sharpy/kaner interaction.

awesome awesome, thanks for the fill :D
