    Summary

    Fushiguro Megumi is a hard news journalist for a fairly successful newspaper in Toshima City, one of the central wards in Tokyo. He specializes in writing news for crime and politics.

    Crime and politics.

    So, when his Editor-In-Chief, Gojo Satoru, decides to put him on a sports feature, highlighting some famous boxer known as Itadori Yuuji, Megumi can't help but consider quitting right then and there.

    Seriously, what kind of story could come from that?

    Summary

    He is grateful, so grateful to be on this team. They are loving and wonderful, and they don't mind that his mother calls after nearly every game, or that his father sends what feels like bushels of chocolate and treats to the office, always addressed to Luca Haas and his friends, as if he is somehow a star and not just a rookie.

    “Is it always like this?” he asks once, his tongue unstuck from his teeth, his eyes shining as he glances up at Roz, soaking in the celebratory mood after a hard-fought win.

    “No,” Rozanov says, smiling at him. His stomach flips and churns, dazzled by the glittering weight of his attention. “This is special, Haasy. A team powered by love and good hockey.”

    OR: Luca Haas and love, in the years leading up to the Ottawa Centaurs Stanley Cup run.

    Summary

    To be clear, Ilya is grateful the rookies aren’t growing up the way he did in the NHL. Ilya took the hazing to the chin – humiliation rituals, beat downs, grueling practices to prove he could “hang” with the big guns on the team.

    That being said, there’s still some part of Ilya that balks at the request by the gaggle of rookies to watch The Iron Giant, a veritable children’s movie at the team’s latest movie night.

    OR: Five times Shane and Ilya were the support system for the Centaur rookies they dreamed of having when they were younger.

    Summary

    “Your touch,” Megumi says, then cuts off, sounding frustrated. He moves Satoru’s hand so that it’s pressed against his chest, right over his heart, and Satoru lets him, curious where this is going and simultaneously touched by how gentle Megumi is being.

    Satoru lifts a brow, regarding Megumi as the boy seems to struggle with what he wants to say.

    “Your touch,” Megumi starts again, lifting his gaze to stare resolutely at Satoru. “I can’t feel it.”

    And oh. Satoru feels his mouth go dry, because of course the boy has to be exactly like him, down to the same love language. Of course.

    ---

    or; Gojo Satoru's love language is a weakness, until it's not.
