Hearts on Ice Chapter 140: Vampire.
The next morning should have been peaceful. If it didn't start with a disaster. The first knock wasn't actually a knock. It sounded more like the owner of the hotel had made it a mission to kick them out today. If they didn't know their teammates, they'd panic.BANG.Then another round of knocks.BANG."Captain!" The voice sounded familiar, oddly familiar but Lukas did not answer. "LUKAS!" The voice grew even angrier but he still said nothing."If you don't open this door I'm assuming both of you died."Inside the room, Lukas didn't even move. He had one arm lazily wrapped around Viktor while Viktor remained face-down against the pillow, completely refusing to acknowledge the outside world, or Nikola."Don't.""Hm?""Don't breathe." Lukas laughed into the pillow."That's not how hiding works.""It can." Another bang rattled the door and this one genuinely scared them."LUKAS!""Go away.""I brought breakfast.""Leave it outside.""I already ate half.""Then definitely go away." He pa
Hearts on Ice Chapter 139: Louder Than The Crowd.
The referee barely lowered his arm before Nikola threw both gloves into the air."I'M ALIVE!" One glove landed somewhere near center ice and the other hit a referee."Sorry!"The referee didn't even look offended anymore. He simply picked it up, handed it back and continued skating away like he'd already accepted this was just the kind of team they were. Joshua reached Lukas first."No way." He grabbed both sides of Lukas' helmet. "NO FUCKIN WAY." Before Lukas could answer, Adrian crashed into both of them from the side."We won!""I noticed!""No…you don't understand!""I literally played the game!""I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND!" Then everybody arrived at once. Helmets bumped together, somebody screamed, somebody else almost fell over.Nikola somehow ended up hugging Elias despite spending the entire morning annoying him."I NEVER DOUBTED US!".Joshua looked at him."I remember you tried to fake food poisoning.""I GREW.""When?" Nikola paused and scratched the back of his hair."Dur
Hearts on Ice Chapter 138: Destroyed.
The whistle barely finished echoing before everything changed. The team wearing blue didn't bother pretending anymore, the careful passing from the first half disappeared entirely as their captain slammed straight into Adrian before the puck had even reached him.CRASH.Glass shook and the crowd roared. Adrian stumbled hard enough for one skate to leave the ice before catching himself on the boards."...oh." Nikola blinked."They're allowed to do that?""They're allowed to do worse," Coach answered quietly from the bench. Lukas had already recovered the puck.But there was no time to complain, no time to look back and no time to wait. He pushed forward immediately. Viktor skated parallel to him while Aiden drifted wider toward the right wing. The defense collapsed exactly the way Lukas wanted.Good. All they had to do was leave Viktor open. He pushed once, twice and the defender committed. It was going perfectly.He slipped the puck backwards without looking and Viktor was already th
Hearts on Ice Chapter 137: Their Prey.
"WAIT." And suddenly, everybody stopped halfway through the tunnel. Coach turned around slowly."What now?" And Nikola looked down at his skates."I forgot how to skate." Nobody answered him. Joshua blinked."What?""I think I forgot.""You have skates in your hands.""I know.""You've been skating for years.""I know.""So what exactly did you forget?" He paused,"Everything." Coach closed his eyes."Fantastic.""I'm serious.""I know you are." Nikola pointed toward the arena where thousands of people were still screaming."Did you hear that?""Unfortunately.""They're loud.""They are.""I don't think my legs work anymore." Coach looked around."Does anybody else's legs not work?" Nobody answered. "Excellent."The silence somehow made everything worse. Lukas adjusted the tape around his glove for what had to be the fifth time in the last three minutes while Viktor quietly reached over and pushed his hand away."You've already fixed it.""I know." But he didn't stop."You've fixed it
Hearts on Ice Chapter 136: Frost Wolves.
Nobody spoke on the walk back and it was not because there was nothing to say, there was simply too much.The sound of thirty-five goals refused to leave their heads. Every pass, every counterattack and every impossible save kept replaying over and over until it became impossible to think about anything else and by the time the locker room door closed behind them, it somehow sounded louder than the crowd outside.BANG.Nobody moved immediately. Bodies were placed down without care, bags landed wherever they landed and somebody's stick slipped against the wall and fell but nobody bothered picking it up.The room suddenly felt smaller. Smaller than it had this morning, smaller than it had five minutes ago. As though the walls themselves had watched that match and decided there wasn't enough space left for their confidence.Joshua sat first and Sam remained standing while slowly wrapping fresh tape around his stick...then realized he'd already taped it."...oh." He quietly peeled everyth
Hearts on Ice Chapter 135: The World Stage.
The building didn't sound like a simple hockey game anymore. It sounded like an entire country.Voices bounced from every direction and none of them were familiar. Different accents collided with one another until everything blended into one endless wall of noise. Somewhere above them a commentator spoke so quickly Lukas couldn't understand half the words, another announcement followed in a completely different language and giant television screens hanging from the ceiling flashed one country's flag after another.Everywhere he looked, there was another jersey. Different colours, different logos and different people.Some players towered over everyone else while some looked barely older than sixteen, others already carried themselves like professionals who had been standing under bright lights their entire lives and nobody looked nervous.That was somehow the scariest part. They all looked… used to this. A photographer suddenly stepped backwards into Nikola."Oh." But before Nikola co
Hearts on Ice Chapter 91: Viktor Gets Hits.
The day passed slowly. Lukas spent it mostly sleeping and Viktor spent it mostly waking Lukas up from sleep and just when they were about to rest together, it was 6AM. Game day. The bus ride to the arena felt unusually quiet, not because everyone was nervous but because everyone was asleep.Nikola
Hearts on Ice Chapter 90: It's Lukas.
The first sign something was wrong was when Coach looked happy. Lukas noticed it first. Coach was standing beside the hotel bus at seven in the morning holding a coffee cup and smiling.He was smiling, and nobody trusted that."Why is he smiling?" Nikola whispered."I don't know." Viktor whispered
Hearts on Ice Chapter 87: Their Break.
For a second neither of them moved and Lukas just locked his eyes on Viktor’s and he saw nothing else."We have a game tomorrow.""I know." Viktor shot back immediately."...a championship game.""I know.""And you're acting like that's not important?"Viktor rolled his eyes dramatically."It is im
Hearts on Ice Chapter 86: Hotel Chaos.
The hotel lasted exactly twenty-three minutes before complete disaster erupted. Twenty-three.Nikola had timed it proudly and he bragged about it even prouder because apparently causing problems was a competitive sport and he intended to win.The team occupied nearly an entire floor and somehow that
