    Summary

    Jean Moreau is out of time. With his visa expiring soon and the pro hockey team he plays for not looking to renew his contract, he faces the prospect of being deported to France (a fate that is both dangerous for what awaits him there and heartbreaking as it takes him from the only family he has in the States).

    Jeremy Knox is struggling and trying his best to hide it behind a smile. With the recent death of his father and the crushing financial hardships of caring for his family, Jeremy has worked himself to the bone for so long that he no longer remembers what it's like to have a moment to just breathe.

    They've known each other for years. Jean has always pulled away every time Jeremy tried to reach out, despite how difficult it was to look away. Jeremy has clung to his hope that they could become friends, regardless of how many times Jean doesn't see him.

    With them both needing help, the kind that only the other can provide, can they find an agreement that is mutually beneficial to them both? And, if they do, can they stick to it or will playing pretend become too real?

    Summary

    Jean can’t help but glance towards the VIP tent. All of the Foxes are there, and there had been some kind of catharsis in getting to belt the songs he had written about Kevin at his face, but he does not want to think about Kevin Day right now.

    The last song of their show is one from an album that Jean was not a part of, a song that was originally written as a love letter to their fans, and to each other. It is not for Jean, and so he always respectfully borrows Laila’s sticks and takes up the spot behind the drumset so that she can roam free and interact with the friends that love her, that love Cat, that love Jeremy, that love the band despite Jean’s introduction. He had thought the song was sappy and fake, but after a hundred and four shows of hearing how the fans roar for it, and seeing how much it means to all of them, he owes it to them to try.

    Summary

    “No,” Jean replied. “I’m going back.”

    Jeremy pushed the paperwork into Jean’s lap. “We’re a good team. We’ll work with you during your recovery. You’re not gonna have to do anything you—”

    Jean brushed the papers onto the floor. “I said no.”

    ---

    After denying the transfer to USC, Jean thought that was the last time he'd have to talk to Jeremy Knox. Until, five years later, a particularly smiley new striker joins his pro team.
