Summary
“What?” He says, and interrupts before Auston can say anything. “Oh, yeah! Yeah, it’s fine, don’t worry about me.”
“You got hot coffee thrown in your face. I think I’d have to be pretty fucked up to not be worried about that.” Auston says, and when he only partially squints now, he can see a concerned look on his face. It makes him want to blush. “And your face looks red.”

Summary
“I’m fucking exhausted,” Cale groans in the middle of training camp, squirting water over his face. Nate frowns. It’s too early to be exhausted - the season hasn’t even started yet. “Just, like, thinking about playing 82 games - all the travel, the hotels, the late nights - fuck.”
“Well, half of them are home games,” Nate reminds him.
Cale shrugs. “Still tired thinking about it all.”
“Some of the travel is fun,” Nate says. He grabs a bottle of water off the bench and drinks half of it.
“Fun?” Cale says skeptically. “We’re shuttled from city to city. We stay in hotels that look identical everywhere and only leave to get on the bus to go to the arenas. What’s fun about that?”
“Well, it could be fun. If we tried.”
*********
Nate makes it his mission to find (at least) one fun thing to do in every city they have to travel to for hockey after Cale tells him it's not possible. The only issue is that Nate's massive crush on Cale gets impossibly bigger with every "date" they go on.

Summary
Moving his head slowly, Nolan's eyes search for the man he'd just seen sit down at a bench across the street, and in the light of the street lamps illuminating the strip of road they're on he swears he's staring at an exact replica of Travis Konecny- or at least what he thinks Travis might look like now.
But- there's no way that's actually Travis. Because why would he be here? Last Nolan knew, Travis was still living in London with his wife and kids after retiring from the NHL himself. So unless they had decided to take a family trip to Souris, Manitoba at the same time Nolan happened to be here, there was no way that the man sitting almost directly across from Nolan on the other side of the street could be Travis Konecny.
//
Nolan and Travis have both been retired from the NHL for a while and haven't talked in years. When a chance meeting brings them back together, they each find that the feelings they used to have for the other man weren't as "left in the past" as they both thought.
