  Summary

  Connor doesn’t protest when he pulls him in. On the contrary, he exhales and slides his arm over Leon's stomach, body loose and heavy against him. It should feel awkward - they’re two grown hockey players crammed into a hotel bed, their limbs tangling without much thought - but it just feels normal. 

  And wow. This is absolutely not normal. 

  Leon could pass off literally everything else as being friends. But cuddling isn't a ‘bro’ thing.

   

  OR

   

  The consequences of liking your best friend.
