Luca: well, i guess you knew that haha
Oliver: loll my memory is completely filled by ochem so it’s a good reminder anyways
Luca: it’s so nice talking to someone other than a hockey player for once
Oliver: i’d bet!
Oliver: no offense to hockey players, but all of the ones i knew growing up were a bit…
Luca: dumb?
Oliver: i was going to say boneheaded, but that works too!
Luca: yeahh i mean my team is definitely much nicer than a lot of other teams in the league but they definitely still have their moments
Oliver: you guys have the married couple right?
Oliver: sorry, i’m not the biggest hockey fan (despite living in canada my entire life, i know)
Luca: no worries! but yes, shane and ilya are married
Luca: they’re super cool
Luca: i had their posters on my walls growing up so it’s so crazy that i’m actually playing with them on the same team
Luca: sorry i’ve been told i can talk a lot haha literally feel free to tell me to shut up
Oliver: no i like hearing you talk :)
Oliver: or text i guess, although you do have quite a nice voice
Luca: absdco hsfa ksfh
Luca: oh my god i’m so sorry my teammate is being a dick and trying to steal my phone
Luca: but i feel like it may have been an adequate reaction anyways
Luca: wait i have to go but we should hang out when you are free! somehow i feel like you may have the busier schedule
Oliver: i’m looking forward to it! have fun with your teammate!
Luca: i’m freed from my fuck ass (affectionate) team!

Oliver: thank you
Oliver: the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, life is suddenly worth living
Luca: yay!
Luca: (every day i am so glad i am good at hockey)

Luca: oh my god you gave me a heart attack jfc

Oliver: …a very cute set of muscles?
Luca: 😕
Oliver: ☺️
Luca: my team is sick of me
Oliver: ?
Luca: [4 photos attached]
Luca: god forbid a father shows his love for his daughter
Oliver: 💀💀💀
Luca: literally dykstra and bood were like
Luca: we don’t even talk about our actual biological children this much
Luca: like why would you bring up the fact that she’s adopted??
Oliver: …
Oliver: so have you heard of this thing called toxoplasmosis
Luca: no?
Luca: looking this up
Luca: fuck off
Luca: i have a very normal amount of love for this stupid cat
Oliver: LMAO
Oliver: i mean i personally don’t think i’ve ever met anyone who has a normal amount of love for their pets
Luca: because they’re perfect and amazing
Oliver: …right
Luca: did you grow up with pets?
Oliver: no, i’m allergic to dogs and my mom is allergic to cats (and like everything ever) so we didn’t really have any options
Luca: this makes so much more sense
Oliver: ??
Luca: you’ve never been a father
Oliver: you’re literally 20 with a 5 month old kitten don’t even start 😭
Luca: i’m a young single dad!!
Luca: and don’t act like you don’t love pomme too
Luca: she’s perfect
Oliver: yeah but i can’t let her know that
Luca: …
Oliver: i’ll never complain about cat photos though!
Oliver: keep them coming!
[Voice call 28:53]

Oliver: maybe next time!
Luca: oh yeah no worries! good luck with your midterms
Oliver: had fun last night?
Luca: oh my god tmz is so annoying
Luca: my team is giving me so much shit about the model being blond
Oliver: he’s very pretty
Luca: i mean yeah, he is a model lol
Luca: he was allergic to pomme though, so he didn’t stay over too long unfortunately :(
Oliver: yeah, so unfortunate
Luca: are you upset about something?
Oliver: no not at all
Oliver: i’m just tired and need to study
Oliver: good night
Luca: oh okay good night
Luca: hey like i know you said that you’re not upset but it kind of felt like it still?
Luca: like i just wanted to check in again, although i’m not really sure what i did?
Oliver: no you’re literally fine
Oliver: i really was just tired that day haha
Luca: oh okay i was just worried if it was about that article
Oliver: no? why would that bother me?
Oliver: we’re not dating or anything
Luca: no yeah i don’t know what i thought that haha
Luca: just being silly
Oliver: my old housemate’s cat!
Oliver: [3 photos attached]
Oliver: he’s so fucking stupid
Luca: 😭😭
Luca: he’s so big 😭😭
Luca: i love him already
Oliver: [1 video attached: The cat flops on his belly and stretches backwards so he’s stretched out, meowing at Oliver.]
Luca: i wish we could do a cat playdate but i think that he would crush pomme
Oliver: unfortunately i have to agree…
[Voice call 44:11]
Luca: heyy there’s this new game that just came out
Luca: i need to practice it before bergy and pointy kill me in it six times in a row and then point and laugh and bring it up after every practice
Oliver: that sounds oddly specific??
Luca: god forbid a man is bad at a video game once or twice
Oliver: i mean
Oliver: your job is literally hand eye coordination
Luca: why does everyone say this??
Luca: video games are on a screen they’re literally not even real
Oliver: 💀💀
Oliver: well then we should get to practicing huh?
Oliver: bring your glasses
Luca: they don’t really help though, it’s just for really far away things?
Oliver: no it’s because you look cute in them
Luca: oh ok :)
Oliver: hey do you want to have a study and sketch night in (i miss pomme)
Luca: yeah that sounds great! (i knew you were only friends with me for her)
Oliver: not my fault that my lease doesn’t allow pets :(
Oliver: and yay!
Luca: do you want me to pick you up?
Oliver: no that’s okay, i’m actually in the neighborhood
Luca: oh okay perfect
Luca: i don’t really want from bed but the building code is 5918
Oliver: wowww this is such a big step in our friendship Luca Haas
Oliver: i’m honored 🙂↕️
Luca: oh my god i didn’t even look in the mirror before going to practice
Oliver: at all??
Luca: we had a very late night!
Luca: i barely even woke up for morning skate
Oliver: 💀
Luca: they think that i hang out with a vampire
Luca: [1 photo attached]
Luca: like hello??
Oliver: ooh i really did a number on your neck huh
Luca: i’m never hearing the end of this
Oliver: i didn’t hear any complaints last night!
Luca: yeah yeah
Oliver: this vampire is free next thursday if you don’t have friday morning skate
Luca: …i don’t
Oliver: :))
[Video call 16:24]
Oliver: my friends are bullying me ☹️
Luca: aw no!
Luca: about what?
Oliver: they think it’s ridiculous that i’m canadian and don’t know how to skate
Luca: HUH
Luca: how do you not know how to skate??
Luca: don’t you guys come home from the hospital with baby skates?
Oliver: 😭😭😭
Oliver: it’s literally not my fault i was a very uncoordinated child
Luca: okay that was at least ten years ago, what’s your excuse now?
Oliver: ummm
Luca: a canadian that doesn’t know how to skate is crazy
Oliver: if only there was a cute blond hockey player that could teach me…
Luca: ah
Luca: very smooth
Luca: i’ve been told i’m a terrible teacher actually
Oliver: i’m sure that’s not true
Luca: we can find out this weekend!
Oliver: like i know you warned me but i don’t think anything could have prepared me for that
Luca: 😭😭
Luca: i swear it’s a language barrier
Oliver: you’re fluent in english??
Oliver: and also your swiss friends said that you were a terrible teacher in swiss german i’m sure
Luca: that’s literally not even the point actually
Oliver: unfortunately that is the entire point
Oliver: Luca Haas, rookie of the year and terrible teacher
Luca: …
Luca: next time i’m letting you fall flat on your ass and i will point and laugh
Oliver: ☹️☹️☹️
Luca: young is snoring in my ear and i can’t even move because he is somehow wrapped around me??
Luca: i have one hand free
Oliver: lmaooo that is hilarious
Oliver: i wish one of your teammates could send me a photo
Luca: like objectively i know this man is straight but he is also basically in my lap
Oliver: 😭
Luca: this is the gayest team i’ve ever been on
Oliver: straight men do sometimes act gayer than gay men in my experience
Luca: sometimes i miss the super hetero environments…
Luca: the good old days where i would have my personal bubble be mine
Oliver: ehhh you love them
Luca: unfortunately
Luca: toxoplasmosis for hockey players i guess
Oliver: 💀

Oliver: no it was cute!
Oliver: i’m glad that you’re alive
Luca: unfortunately
Luca: i’ve never been this hungover
Oliver: it happens to the best of us
Oliver: besides it’s only fair that you get your turn to drunk text me after last time
Luca: i suppose 😔
Luca: okay i’m going to go sleep for the next ten hours
Luca: i think i’m still drunk somehow

Luca: whenever you’re free! i’m pretty free the next few days actually
Oliver: literally on my way in exactly fifteen hours
Luca: yay!
[Video call 18:58]
Luca: the day that bergy and pointy stop barging into my fucking house is the day that i will know peace
Oliver: 💀💀💀
Oliver: rip their eyes
Luca: they see this on a regular basis
Luca: more like rip their ears
Luca: and my sanity
Oliver: maybe they’ll stop barging in now
Luca: no i think they’re incapable of living and learning
Luca: it’s actually horrendous
Luca: this isn’t even the first time they’ve just come into my apartment when i was on the phone with you
Oliver: oh?? they’ve listened to our phone sex before?
Luca: oh my god don’t put it like that
Luca: no normally im in my room so they don’t hear anything because they’re normally just here for food (mind you we fully have the same resources to get food delivered so idk what’s up with that)
Oliver: have you considered changing the code?
Luca: YES and i have but they somehow figure it out within a week every time? i’ve just given up tbh
Oliver: you know us normal people have physical keys
Luca: 😭😭
Luca: unfortunately i have been known to lose every single house key that has ever been given to me, so that would probably just end up with them having my house key somehow while locking me out i’m not even going to lie
Oliver: 💀💀
Oliver: you’re such an interesting person luca haas
Luca: oh my god they’re being so gross rn
Oliver: who?
Luca: omg wait wrong person 💀
Luca: troy and i are in the same room as shane and ilya rn for a meeting and they’re so disgustingly in love
Oliver: omg homophobia in the mlh??
Oliver: someone call tmz again
Luca: PLS
Luca: i hate that fucking site
Luca: they keep thinking i’m dating like every other girl i hang out with
Oliver: lollll
Oliver: but damn they do seem to be in the most perfect relationship ever
Luca: no it’s actually so discouraging
Luca: like ooh like at me i’m shane hollander i was voted the hottest man in the mlh multiple years in a row and i’m the best hockey player and i’m married to ilya rozanov the second best hockey player like GIRL FUCK YOU
Luca: 😭😭😭
Luca: sorry it’s been a long day
Luca: week
Luca: season
Oliver: how long has this meeting been?
Luca: TWO HOURS
Oliver: pics?
Luca: damn okay very forward
Oliver: OF POMME
Oliver: omgg i hate gay people
Luca: 😭
Luca: no way you’re asking for pictures of my cat and being homophobic
Luca: she’s literally a lesbian
Oliver: damn sorry pomme i wasn’t aware of you being down like that
Oliver: when did she come out?
Luca: she didn’t need to
Luca: we have a spiritual connection
Luca: and also she hates every straight person that comes into this house
Oliver: oh i know your teammates hate that
Luca: no it’s actually so funny, bood is the most offended because he loves cats and she hissed at him
Oliver: NOOO
Oliver: okay but also pictures
Luca: damn okay i see how it is
Luca: they warn you about people being friends with you for your money, but no one warns you about people being friends with you for your cat
Oliver: you didn’t get that in the information packet when you adopted her??
Luca: [4 photos attached]
Oliver: AWWW i love her so much
Luca: no weirdly enough i think they forgot that part
Oliver: damn that’s crazy 🤷
Luca: 😒
Oliver: you’re in new york rn right?
Luca: yes!
[Voice call 38:17]
Luca: heyy do you want to hang out when i get back?

Luca Haas & Emma Meyer:
Luca: [2 photos attached]
Luca: does he seem mad at me
Emma: hi luca hows your day going
Emma: mine’s going great thanks for asking!
Emma: really long day at the long distance friend factory with a second shift at the full time student mine
Luca: …
Luca: hi emma
Luca: love you lots
Luca: does he seem mad at me
Emma: sure okay
Emma: ummm
Emma: like maybe?
Emma: it seems really abrupt
Emma: did you guys hang out between this or anything? or did anything happen at all? because you guys aren’t even actually dating right
Luca: yeah you don’t need to remind me…
Emma: yeah but he seems to get jealous whenever there are things in the papers about you
Emma: wait didn’t you just play with laurent?
Emma: i think i saw some headline about you two at a bar
Luca: oh
Luca: like i guess but also he’s just a friend?
Emma: yeah because you guys definitely didn’t fuck
Luca: ANYWAYS oliver has literally said that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship until he’s in medical school because he doesn’t have time
Emma: he seems to have enough time to text you and hang out with you all the time…
Luca: ☹️
Emma: okay yeah sorry not helpful
Emma: i don’t know
Emma: i mean i know you like him but he sort of feels like a jerk
Emma: he can’t get jealous and ignore you every time there’s something in the papers about you being with another guy when he doesn’t want to commit and then just leave you waiting around
Luca: yeahhh
Luca: ☹️☹️
Emma: not the luca haas frown
Luca: ☹️☹️☹️
Emma: did you talk to laurent about this?
Luca: yeah let me just bring up my situationship with my childhood friend who i hook up with every other time i see him real quick
Emma: omggg okay okay
Emma: sassy man apocalypse is everywhere these days
Luca: …so no
Luca: besides he would probably just tell me to either tell him to stop giving me the silent treatment every time he gets jealous or to stop seeing him
Emma: it’s almost like we know what we’re supposed to do there :(
Luca: yeah ☹️☹️
Luca Haas & Oliver Tremblay:
Luca: hey are you free this weekend?
