🏒 911 - Buddie Hockey AU Fanart🏒
Snippet from Chapter 30 of Take My DefensesHe slipped into the practiced poise he’d spent years perfecting—back straight, shoulders squared, expression neutral but not cold. He looked every inch the disciplined athlete: calm, unreadable, composed. His hands rested loosely on the table in front of him, fingers stilled by force of will, even as Buck’s familiar cologne threaded through the air beside him, sharp and grounding.
Buck, of course, was relaxed. Too relaxed.
He leaned forward, arms folded on the table, one leg bouncing restlessly beneath his chair. The bruise on his cheekbone looked worse under the unforgiving fluorescent lights, still purple, edged with sickly yellow, but it suited him, made him look rakish instead of wrecked like he’d earned it. Like he wanted the attention.
He’d already cracked three jokes before they even sat down.
Eddie had felt the reporters watching— every time Buck laughed, every time he shifted closer. The rivalry wasn’t just part of the story. It was the story.
