2018 NHL Draft night, Zurich, Switzerland, Luca Haas childhood home
Luca was so nervous. This was the biggest night of his fucking life, the day where his life for the next many years would be picked. It was the NHL draft day.
He could have been drafted next year as well. His birthday was the day before the cut of date, meaning he just made the cut. But he could not be more happy.
His mama squessed his arm next to him. "Du wirst das großartig machen. Hatten sie nicht gesagt, du würdest entweder die Nummer 1 oder die Nummer 2 werden?"
"Im Großen und Ganzen ja. Aber Mama, das heißt nicht, dass es so ablaufen wird." Luca said as he twisted his other hand in his pant leg.
It was just him and his mom. Like it had been since Luca was 5 years old and his dad had left. Luca's dad, a man named Peter, moved to the other side of Switzerland. Last Luca heard, a singel phone call whenn he was 16, he had a new family.
But Luca didnt care, he didnt need anyone other then his mom. He did worry about her, now that he was gonna leave. Who would she have then?
They watched on and the first over all pick went to some guy from the US, picked by Boston. His mama turned to him with a sade smile. "Keine Sorge, ich bin mir sicher, dass du Nummer 2 bekommst."
"Boston braucht einen neuen Center. Nachdem Rozanov nach Ottawa gewechselt ist" Luca said as he watched the guy, some guy named Mark pull the jersey over his head. The news of Rozanov being traded had hit a few weeks. The guy was going to Ottawa now. "Alles gut, Mama"
"And now for the seconde over all pick we have........ Luca Haas, from Switzerland" The guy on the screen said. "Going to Ottawa!!"
Holy fucking shit. Like holy fucking shit. Luca could barley hear his mother as a picture of Luca flashed on the screen. One that his hockey coach had send in. It was his offical picture from last year. Next to one was the logo of the Ottawa Centures.
"Du hast es geschafft! Du hast es wirklich geschafft, mein kleines Mäuschen!" His mama said jumping up and down a little bit. Luca hugged her back, with what must have been the biggest smile ever on his face. "Du fährst nach Ottawa! Mit Rozanov"
It was his mama's bad way to say Rozanov's name that made him snap out of it. Oh holy fucking shit, Luca was gonna be playing with the Ilya fucking Rozanov.
The guy haning on Luca's fucking bedroom wall, like holy fucking shit. He was gonna play with one if not the best hockey player in the whole fucking world.
His mama was running to the kitchen for two glass's and the speacial cheap champagne she had gotten for tonight. Then Luca's phone rang, and when he turned it over it was an unknown number. But really i could only be one person.
"Hello, this is Luca Haas here" Luca said and hoped his voice didnt shake to much. He knew that it was shaking atleast a little bit. He saw his mama turn around in the kitchen. She didnt speak much english, but she probley knew.
"Hello Luca this is the Owner of Ottawa Centures. We would like to first tell you congrast" The guy over the phone said.
Luca mouted Ottawa owner at his mama as he spoke into the phone "Yes yes thank you, and ehm thank you to you to for you know picking me"
"Well when we see a chance to get a star we cant just let it go can we?" The owner said and Luca sat down, because his legs where shaking. The owner kept talking about how they wanted to talk to Luca on a online meeting. Luca found himself sitting there on the sofa after, phone in hand and a meeting for tomove to talk about it all.
"Alles okay? Atme für mich, Maus, okay? Atme!" his mama said taking Luca's hands in hers. Luca tried to rember to breath, but it was hard.
Most of his life had been working up to this, to getting to join the NHL. The fucking NHL, and holy shit. Like holy fucking actully no shit fuuuuuck.
Him and his mama stayed up for about 2 hours more, both watching the rest of the draft. But also just talking about eveything. Luca thought they might not want him to play this season, but a bit later. His mama was just proud either way of him.
Luca pulled on his courent team hoddie. Often he would sleep in the Boston Rozanov hoddie that his friend had gotten him. But that felt weird now. He would have to make sure that nobody ever found out he owended that hoddie.
As he lay there in his bed, his eyes caught on the Rozanov poster next to his bed. It felt like it was staring right at him, and like Rozanov would know he had it when he met Luca.
So he got up from the bed and slowly pulled it off the wall. Still he made sure that there didnt come any tears in it, and rolled it up putting it into a tube that it had come in. Then the tube got sat in the back of his clohest.
Luca was gonna play in the fucking NHL now. Holy shit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9th of september 2020
"Ich werde dich so sehr vermissen, meine kleine Maus" His mama said patting his cheek, as they stood in the airport. Lucas was about to check in so he could fly to Ottawa
He kissed his mom goodbye on the cheek and started to walk away. But then at the last moment he ran back and gave his mom a thight hug. Then Luca tried to ignore the tears as he walked to his termnal.
He sat there waiting for his plane, it would be another hour and a half before his plane came. Luca pulled his phone out, not the best one out there but an okay one, and pushed in the same pair of shitty headphones he had used since he was 15.
Pressing play on the music he sat there with his knee bubing up and down. Luca thought about everything that had happende since he was draffted for Ottawa.
They had decide that they where gonna let him wait to join the NHL team until he was 20. Or atleast actully 19, his birthday was in 5 days before he would be 20.
He had spend thoes 2 years playing for the AHL Ottawa team. And then he had been home for the summer, but now he was really leaving. And okay sure he was gonna be staying in a hotel for the first few weeks of the season and traning. But he was really leaving.
Luca wouldent be home until either they won the stanley cup or got out of the playoff's. There wouldent be long enough time for him to really go home.
It was still crazy to him that he would actully be playing on a team with Ilya Rozanov. Like the hockey star Ilya Rozanov. His poster had been on his wall ever since Luca was 10 and Ilya had his first season.
That poster now lay in a tube in the back of his closet. Hope fully no one would find out about the Hollanov blog he used to have. Okay so maybe he used to draw fan art of Rozanov and Hollander. He had stoped posting when he got drafted, but he still had the acount.
Walking on to the plane Luca tried to ignore the shaking in his hands. Luca might have been on a plane alot as of late, but he still got nervous everytime.
And okay so maybe he still closed his eyes when the plane took off. Okay fine he really fucking hated flying.
When Luca came off the plan and outside to the airport Luca was met with Coach Wiebe. Luca had only meet the man one time before this, when he was told that he would be moving up. But he wasnet hard to miss with the fact that the guy was holding a sign that said "Luca Haas" on it.
"Haas, it is great to see you" Coach Wiebe said as he saw Luca coming up to him. He took Luca's over the shoulder bag of his shoulder. Luca didnt have much with him, as his gear had been send ahead of him. Just a over the shoulder duffle, a backpack and a suitcase.
"Coach Wieber" Luca said shaking his hand as he followed him out of the airport. Even as he stepped out the airport he could stil not really get that he was actully here. It wasnet like he had never been in Ottawa, but this time it felt diffrent.
Coach Wieber let him to a car and put his things down into the trunk. "You ready to play in the NHL?"
Luca gave a small nod. In real life he was so fucking nervous about this. Playing in the NHL was not something that any of his teammates got to do. His old teammates and him had all dreamed of playing in the NHL. But Luca was the only one to actully get there. Most people had to drop out because of either money or their parents wanting them to do something less risky.
His own mama had been the one who said he needed a back up plan. His mama might not have know everything about hockey, but she did know somethings. Like how one bad move could end everything. One injure in the wrong place could take him out the game for ever. That was why when the team mangement had said they would give Luca 1 or 2 more years, his mama has been quick to agree.
So Luca had finished his last year of schooling online, while playing in Ottawa. If he would get injured so bad, he wouldent be abel to go back, then he would be abel to make it. But most parents in Switzerland where not ready to take a gambel like that. His mama however had allways said that he should follow his dreams, and Luca did everything to do that.
And well, it clearly paid off.
"We have you staing at this hotel, the rink is only about 20 minutes away. Just you know until you find housing, wich the team can help you with" Coach Wiebe said as he pulled into the parking lot infront of a hotel. "The other rookies got here a day before you, so they picked rooms first"
"Oh okay" Luca said as he slide out of the car. Traning camp would start for the rookies on the 10th. They would have to do medicals, interviews and a whole buch of other stuff. Then on the 17th everyone eles would join and the real stuff would begin.
"Here you are in room 28A on the 3rd floor. Your the only rookie this year. But LaPoint, Young and Holmberg are all your age. LaPoint and Young are on their 2nd season, Holmberg is on his 3. Their are all around 21 and 22. Sure they could be your friends." Coach Wiebe said haning over a room key to Luca as he helped get his stuff out the trunk.
Luca found himself not even half an hour later falling right into bed. God he was fucking tired. Looking at his phone texting his mom, even tho he knew she might not see it. Then he rolled over and feel asleep right then and there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lapoint was loud and allmost allways laughing. It felt like LaPoint allways knew just how to land a joke. And he did it often, like every other sencents out of him was a joke.
Young was much like LaPoint but he also knew when it was time to get sirius. He was cool and some how allways seemed to have some snacks on him. Like no matter where you where, if Young was there he had snacks
Holmberg was less fun all the time but also loud. He knew all these diffrent facts about random things. Like just about everything. And Holmberg wasnet a golie, but he could pass of as one. Or atleast the kind that Luca had know in his life time.
Luca might be the only rookie this year but the other young guys have shown up a few days early. Mostly just so that they could hang out with Luca but also because of practise. They joined Luca in his rookie practise thing.
Well he had gotten to know the social media team alot as of late. Pictures and intro vidos and other stuff like that. The other young guys had said that Harris was actully very nice. Personally Luca found him a little scary. But then again Luca found everyone a little scary right now
"Luca can you move your head down a little?" Gen said, when it is Luca standing infront of the camra. "The light keep catching your glass's"
"Yeah sure" Luca says and is quick to move his head. He has allways hated wearing glass, but he still wears them off the ice. Mostly because contacts make his eyes feel weird. It probley why alot of his teammates trough the years have called him "Ghost boy." They say with the way he just stares it like he has seen ghosts or something. But moving his eyes to much with contacts on feels weird.
"Great perfect" Gen says snapping a few photos. The other rookies have allready been sent out by Harris. Probley because they wouldent stop talking and making Luca laugh.
"Gotta say Luca out of all of these rookie, i have seen" Harris said looking over Gen shoulder into the camra "You are the most simple one. Your so nice Luca"
"Oh ehm thank you" Luca said felling that blush flush over his face again. He had been blushing alot over these last few weeks. And while Luca had blushed alot his whole life, in these last few months he had been blushing much more then ever. Mostly because he had been spending so much time on camra, wich was where he blushed the most. Luca hated blushing so much tho because, it made him look even younger. Wich didnt help with his baby face.
"Perfect" Gen said snapping a few pictures of Luca with his blush. Part of him wanted to ask her if they could redo it, but another part knew that he would probley also blush in thoes.
When Luca came back to the locker room, it was filled with people. Oh shit right, this was the day traning camp truly started up. That would probley explaing why there was so many guys in the locker room. Before it had just been Young, LaPoint, Helmberg and him. Now how ever it was filled with people. People of whom Luca had watched play hockey before.
And holy shit. There he was.
Ilya fucking Rozanov.
Luca knew that he might be staring at him, but it was just. Holy shit you know. He was actully right here in the same room as Luca. Like holy fucking shit. Deep breath Luca, breath. You have to rember to fucking breath. He was your new captian, dont you dare say anything about the poster you had of him. Or of the fan art you might have drawn of him and Shane Hollander. Dont you dare say a singel thing about that.
"Okay guys" Coach Wiebe said yelling and it made everybody shut up. "It is great to have you all back. Hope all of you had a good summer, had some fun, but now it is time to get to work. Also meet the rookie of this season"
Coach Wiebe turned to him "Over there all the way from Switzerland, is Luca Haas. Seconde over all draft in 2018. He has been on the AHL team for a season"
"Yeah hey i rember that" Zane Boodham said as he turned to look at Luca. Luca could see the moment where he was shocked by Luca's face. "God you look like 15"
And fuck there was that blush again. And god he hated it, because he knew it made him look even younger then he was. "I ehm i get that alot"
There was a momment where no one said anything and then everybody just went on like nothing. Well other then Rozanov who looked over the rookies. Rozanov went around and shook the hands of all the rookies.
"Luca Haas?" His voice poped up from above Luca. Luca was in the middle of tying his skates, and looked up to see Rozanov. And jesus christ there he actully was. Right infront of Luca, like in real life. Holy fucking shit.
"Ehm yeah i ehm yes" Luca said trying not to stammer to much. But he knew that he was probley also blushing like hell. Jesus christ why did he have to blush so much? Also fuck his baby face.
"Seen some of your film" Rozanov said as he crossed his arms infront of him. Luca stood up but even that didnt seem to make a big diffrence. Luca was still growing a little, but he stood at 6 feet. It wasnet like Rozanov was much taller then that, but he was bigger. Luca was much more lean where as Rozanov was build like a wall.
"Oh ehm thank you. I mean i have watched you since ehm like ehm your rookie season" Luca said twisting his fingers together, picking at his nail buds. "I ehm sorry i mean i can i ehm mean thank you"
"mmh" Rozanov said and moved on. He was talking with Boodram now, who was across the locker room. Shit Luca had probley just made sure that Rozanov would never ever talk to him again.
"Well that went well" LaPoint said coming up on Luca's shulder. LaPoint was allready fully ready to go for practise, and so where the other rookies. Young nodded and Holmberg just looked on leaning against his stick.
"Hahaha very funnny" Luca said as he grapped his stick and walked off with the other rookies following him, and Young trouhing an arm around Luca. While LaPoint still craking jokes about him.
After practise Luca pulled of his uniform slowly. Ever part of his body was aching by now. He knew that they might only have been doing summer camp for a week or so, but his body was still hurting.
Before Luca knew it, it was only him left in the locker room. The other young guys had said they where gonna head to some resturant that they wanted to try out. Luca had said that he migh joing them, but he knew he wouldent. He had to push and push. And had to be perfect, because he was the hope of Switzerland.
"You okay rook?" A voice said and it made Luca jump a little bit up into the air. When Luca turned around he found Rozanov standing there, with a towel around his waist. Rozanov didnt say anything more just lifted an eyebrow at him.
"I ehm yeah im fine" Luca said as he made sure not to drop his phone. He had been looking over the diet plan that the dietician had made for him. Some kind of fancy diet plan about what he should and shouldent eat. But at the same time Luca hated diet plans, but anything to help him get better.
"You played good" Rozanov said as he moved towards his stall.
"It ehm it was just practise" Luca said as he pulled his zip up hoddie on. He was looking down at the floor as he pushed his glass on, so that he could actully see things. But still the floor was looking mighty fine right now.
"Yes, but you still played very good" Rozanov said as he pulled a shirt over his head. Luca finally got himself together enought to actully look up from the floor. "You setling in well? In Ottawa?"
"Yeah i ehm i mean yeah, it is nice" Luca said twisting his fingers together. And he was picking at his nail buds again. At this point they where gonna start to bleed again. "The hotel i am staying at it ehm its very nice. I like it but you know it is new. But everybody is nice and kind"
"Good" Rozanov said as he grapped his bag and swung it over his shoulder. "Let me know if anyone is mean"
"I ehm okay" Luca said as Rozanov left with a nod. Luca now stood there in the locker room alone, just him and his diet plan on his phone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luca was still shaking as they walked off the plane. His whole body was shaking and his ears where rining, and he couldent hear what Harris was saying. Or maybe it was someone eles, Luca couldent really hear anything.
It felt like his soul was left on that plane when it went down. And he knew that he had tears running down his face. Or maybe he wasnet crying anymore, Luca couldent tell. He couldent tell alot of things actully.
"Haas? Hassy?" Someone was standing infront of Luca and holding his arm. It was Harris. But still he couldent really get any words out of his mouth. And then he felt his stomac turn over, and he ran for the trashcan.
Pushing past one of his teammates he leaned over the trashcan and vomited. And even tho he hadent eaten alot today he kept vomting. When he stoped he knew that he was for sure crying.
"Sssh hey hey okay" A hand was on his back going up and down. It was Rozanov, and Luca felt even more embarsed now. He was the only troughing up, and crying. "Here let me"
Luca felt his glass's being pulled of his face. But he didnt have time to really think about before he vomited again. "Harris, Harris get me some water. Sssh okay okay just let it out Luca"
There was still a hand running up and down his back. When Luca was done, Rozanov helped him sit down inside the hotel lobby. He had been standing outside vomiting everything in his stomac. When he sat down there was a glass of water pushed into his hand.
"Sorry i ehm sorry" Luca said his voice still shaking. He didnt lift the glass just held it in his hand. Because he still felt like he could vomit more, even tho he was sure there was nothing more in his stomac.
"Drink here drink" Rozanov said putting his hand around Luca's lifting the cup to his mouth. Luca took a few gulps of the water, it felt nice. Having the cold water run down his troatht. It made the tast of vomit go away atleast a little bit.
Rozanov sat with Luca for a little bit, before he had to go. Then Harris was there. Talking him down from what Luca thinks might be a panic atack. Harris just sat there with his hand around Luca's arm. Also Luca might have gotten a little bit drunk.
He had called his mom the momment they had gotten of the plane. But he called her again when he was drunk. His German was slured and a mix with english. But he thinks his mom got most of it.
The next day he went to IHOP Rozanov, Wyatt and Harris. "You oay?" Harris said as they sat down in the booth. Luca was half asleep over the tabel.
"Mmh? Hung over" Luca got out as a plate of pancakes where put infront of him. It might not fit into his diet but right now he didnt give a fuck. Having just nearly died yesterday, he had the right to eat some pancakes.
They sat in silence for the mos part. Luca thinks that all of them where just enjoying at they had all made it. That they all didnt die, that they made it out alive. When Luca went outside for a momment he saw Rozanov. The guy had said he was going to the bathroom, but here he was somking a cigarette.
When Rozanov found Luca staring at him, he smirked "Guess you found out my little dirty secret"
"I ehm well i was coming out here to" Luca said reaching into his zip up hoddie pocket, and pulling out a vape. "My own dirty little secret"
"You use thoes shitty things?" Rozanov said as Luca leaned against the wall next to him "They are very bad for you"
"So are thoes" Luce said as he took a drag of his vape. "I dont like do it often. Pretty much quit a year before i was drafted. It isent really good to smoke when your practising for hockey all the time. But ehm today feels like.."
"Like a special thing" Rozanov said as he took a drag of his own cigarette. Luca gave him a nod, as he took another drag. "I understand. I also dont smoke much. My Jane made me quit"
That caught Luca's attion. As far as he knew Rozanov was not dating anyone, but was more of a party boy who slept with girls all the time. "Your Jane?"
"mmmh she is my lover" Rozanov said, woah if that wasnet a word he never thought he would hear out of Ilya Rozanov's mouth. "But she not like when i smoke"
"Sounds like someone who cares about your health" Luca said as he took another drag of his vape
"She does" Rozanov said turning to look over Luca. "And as your captian i have to tell you that smoking is bad for you. But as you friend i will say that i am just happy you are okay"
"I ehm" Luca had no idea what to say. Did Rozanov think of Luca as a friend? Because if he did then holy shit. Like holt fucking shit, that would mean that Luca's childhood hero is now his kinda friend. "Thanks"
"But really, you okay?" Rozanov said as he trough the last part of his cigarette on the ground crushing it under his foot.
"I think so yeah. I have talked with my mom, everything is fine there. And we you know made it" Luca said as he turned of his Vape off, putting it back in his hoddie pocket. "Are you okay? Did you call this Jane?"
Rozanov just started at him for a little bit before they moved on. Rozanov gave him a soft smile, like Luca was something to be proctect. Luca didnt know how he was meant to feel about that. Then troughing an arm around Luca Rozanov walked them back into the IHOP "Yes my Jane knows i am okay"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luca had been to Bood’s barbeques a few times now, but every time he was still a little bit nervous. And he also brought a gift every time he came over, even tho Cassie told him he really didn't need to.
But still no matter how many time he went over to Bood’s house, he would get a few butterflies in his stomach.
It was stupid. He had been on the time for over a year now. Had bought a small apartment in Ottawa, that he like owned.Adopted a small black cat named Lina, who Luca thinks might hate everyone. And maybe he had started seeing someone, who may or may not be named Oliver.
So yeah safe to say Luca had gotten used to Ottawa. He still went back to his mom every time he could. Still sometimes cried over missing home, and then got drunk after. But it was way less now then it was in his first year here.
But still the team called him rookie or kid. Probably where gonna keep doing it until a new rookie joined the team. He wasn't mad about it, it was a little annoying but fine. Probably didn't help that it was mostly Rozanov that did it.
Over the last few months since the whole plane thing, Rozanov had become Rozie. Luca was the only person who called their captain that. Roz on the other hand, began online calling Luca his son. And then after the whole “Getting outed thing”, His and Shane’s son.
Looking away from the fact that Luca had never actually met Shane.
“Luca!” Cassie said as she opened the door. Then she spots the box of cookies, lemon once that the team love, and frowns “Luca you didn't have to”
“It is the polite thing to do” Luca said as Cassie gave him a quick hug and took the box. Luca had to stop himself from taking of the shoes off. Something he would normally do but has learned is not a thing in this house. Mostly because you have to go in and out from the patio.
“Well next time” Cassie said as she and Luca walked to the living room. When they walked in Luca found most of the team already there. It was a little cold outside and was meant to rain so today was gonna be mostly indoors. “Just bring that boyfriend of yours”
When every singel head in the kitchen snapped toward Luca he rolled his eyes, and muttered. “I never should have told you about that”
“You have a boyfriend?” Holmberg was the first to speak. “Why havent we hear about this?”
“Yeah” LaPoint said coming over and troughing an arm around Luca, with a dramatic sad face. “We are your best friends and you don't even tell us your in love”
“Get off” Luca said as he tried to push LaPoint off him, and now Young was joining in too. Both of them where going on and on about how they just couldent believe they hadent even heard or meet this guy yet.
When Bood walked inside clearly having just come from outside, he just looked at the group of young guys. They might not be rookies but still they where the youngst, with Luca being the baby of the young group. “What is going on here?”
“Haasy has a boyfriend” Dykstra said from the couch where he was playing a game of mario cart against Harris, Troy and Wyatt. “Something about him not telling the other babies”
Young and LaPoint both let go and even Holmberg turned to Dykstra to start going on about how they where not babies. Bood just turned to Luca with a lifted eyebrow “You have a boyfriend? Does captain know about this?”
“No and there is no need for him to know about it either” Luca said as he felt that blush that was almost always there creep on to his cheeks. He spun to Harris when he heard him mumble something about Roz being his dad. “He is not my dad and he really doesnt need to know”
“Doesnt need to know what?” A voice said from the living room door. There stood Roz and Shane Hollander. It was normal for them to come together. In the start about a year ago right when Shane had joined the team, he had kept things where professional
“Nothing!” Luca said and made a dive for LaPoint when he saw the guy opening his mouth. But then Bood was the one who ratted him out. “Luca has a boyfriend”
“WHAT?!” Roz said in loud tone, and put a hand to hit chest like he might faint. He reached over and took a hold of Shane’s arm like he might faint. “Shane tell me i did not hear that my son has boyfriend”
“Jesus” Hollander whispered under his breath and then looked up at Luca and not his dramatic husband. “That is great Luca, you should bring him to meet the team some time”
Over the time since Hollander had joined the team, him and Luca had grown close. Hollander would help Luca practise things he didn't feel like he knew how to do. Also Shane was just about the only one who could hold back the captian from going crazy. Just one "Ilya" said in that specfic tone of voice and Ilya was folding like a wet pice of paper. Their captian was actully like so fucking whipped.
"Get up Ilya" Shane said pushing Roz off him. "Your overreacting"
"But the baby!" Roz said as he walked over and put his hands on Luca's face. "Who is good enough to date this, perfect, amzing boy? Who is good enough for him?"
"Get off" Luca said trying to push Roz off him, from where he basicly had Luca in a headlock. When he manadge to get him off he tried to fix his hair. "It's not a big deal. We just you know...... it's new"
"Then how come Cassie knew about it" Young said joining in again after trying to hit Dykstra. "How come she knew and we didnt?"
Luca blushed bright red as Cassie walked back into the room again, along with most of the other WAG's. Cassie and Lisa shared a little smile then they both looked at Luca. "Rember when you asked me to drop of thoes things to Luca?"
"Yeah?" Bood said as he looked confused for a momment. Then it was like it finally clicked in everyone's head. And they all turned to Luca who just sat down on the sofa and pulled a pillow over his head.
"He is to young for that!" Roz said and he sounded like Luca was some kind of 18- centure debutant.
"We where young when we started hooking up" Shane said, and that was still something that shocked Luca. That Shane and Ilya had started hooking up when he was 10 years old. That trough out their whole carrer they had been doing it. The two of them had only told the team about this, after getting drunk at some bar after winning.
"Are you being safe?" Roz said pointing at Luca. "You need comdoms, Shane can we buy f-"
"NO!" Both Luca and Shane said, Luca with a bright red face and Shane with some slight red across his cheeks. God Roz was just so much all the time. Could he not just tone it down a little bit.
And while somtimes Luca might want Roz to leave him alone. To not be pretend to be his dad, when people sometimes asked. To just be his captian and not his sudo dad. He might want that sometimes, but at other times he wanted it.And as Luca sat there, on Bood's sofa, eating snacks while being intergated about his love life by most people, he felt nice.
When he first met Roz, Luca felt he might be a bit of an asshole. He had been so anti social. Allmost never going out with the team to anything, not talking alot. Maybe he was just the person Roz was on tv. And in the start maybe he had been, right when he joined the team atleast.
But as Luca watched Ilya basicly lick Shane's cheek, with Shane pushing him off. Luca thought how stupid he had been back. Roz was a great guy and nice. He had just needed to come out and show himself a little bit.
Yeah, it was nice playing with a hero.
