The Ice King’s Fake Fixer Chapter 10: Miss/Kiss
FEYA"He's going to miss it," I whispered woodenly, my fingers digging into the fabric of the unfamiliar jersey I was wearing?Maya briefly glanced up from her phone screen then dismissed the game, refocusing her attention. "What, Jax? No way, Fee. He’s been hitting the target perfectly all week in practice. The muscle memory is locked in.""The muscle memory is dependent on a stable visual baseline," I said, my eyes tracking Jaxson’s silhouette on the ice. "Look at his posture. His shoulders have dropped lower than usual and his skating stride has slowed by six percent. He’s lost the confidence he started with. He’s unsure."Below us, the arena was a chaotic wall of sound. Three thousand people were screaming, their voices bouncing off the high metal rafters of the St. Jude rink. The bright stadium lights beat down on the white surface, creating a massive, blinding glare.I could see the faint, rhythmic movement of Jaxson’s hand tapping against his thigh. He was trying to reset his

JAXSONFriday night came faster than I wanted it to.The St. Jude arena was completely packed. The roar of three thousand fans blared through my skull. The bright stadium lights beat down on the ice, creating that familiar, terrifying yellow shadow around every player, every stick, and every line on the floor.I stood in the tunnel, my heart hammering against my ribs. I kept my eyes closed, tapping my fingers rhythmically against my thigh, waiting for the double vision to stabilize."Alright boys, let's move!" Coach Wallace yelled, slapping my shoulder pad. "Saints on three!""One, two, three, Saints!" the team roared.We skated out onto the ice. The noise was deafening. I looked up at the VIP boxes. There, sitting in the front row with a heavy, silver-headed cane resting between his knees, was Arthur Rivers. He wasn't smiling, as he never did, the fucker. He was staring down his nose at me like I was a disappointment. Which wouldn’t be surprising as I never measured up in his eyes

JAXSON"Just running some extra visual drills, Coach," I said, forcing my voice into an easy, relaxed drawl. I leaned back against the equipment trunk, keeping my leg pressed against the canvas jersey hiding Feya's sensors. "Feya was just explaining some Physics stuff to me while I train. Since she's my girlfriend, I figured I’d kill two birds with one stone while she does her homework."Caleb leaned against the doorframe, his dark eyes sliding over Maya’s closed laptop, then to Feya, and finally settling on me. "Perks of being with a genius, I guess. A win is a win, bro.”"Don’t I know it," I lied smoothly, offering him a sharp grin. "Every little bit helps. You know how it is, Sterling. Gotta keep the edge."Coach Wallace stepped further into the room, his boots heavy on the floor. He looked at Feya, who was staring fixedly at his top jacket button, her hands buried deep in her oversized sweater sleeves."Miss Baldwin," Wallace said, his gruff voice surprisingly quiet. "Is this t

FEYA"Feya doesn't do freelance work anymore," Jaxson said, his tone entirely casual as he threw an arm over Caleb’s shoulder. He offered a relaxed, easy laugh that sounded so completely genuine. "She’s strictly exclusive to the athletic department's tutoring pool now, man. Wallace would have my head if I let anyone else steal her."Caleb laughed, shaking his head. "Hey, fair enough. If she got you a B-minus in Advanced Physics, she's basically a miracle worker. I just didn't know you two were... an item.""Life is full of surprises, Sterling," Jaxson grinned, giving Caleb's shoulder a friendly shove. "Go grab your coffee. We’ll see you at practice.""See you there, Captain," Caleb said, his smile very bright as he finally stepped aside. He gave me one last, polite nod before turning toward the counter.The moment Caleb’s back was turned, Jaxson’s arm dropped from my shoulders. The easy grin vanished from his face, replaced by a tight, pale expression. He grabbed my hand again and p

FEYA"You're walking too fast," Jaxson muttered, his hand wrapping around my wrist.I stopped dead in the middle of the quad. The fabric of my oversized sweater was the only thing preventing direct skin contact, but the heat of his palm still radiated straight through the wool."I am walking at a standard human pace of three miles per hour," I said, looking directly at his collarbone. "You are the one dragging your feet, Mr. Rivers.""Because everyone is looking at us, Ghost. If we sprint across the grass like we're escaping a fire, it looks suspicious. Slow down."I glanced around using my peripheral vision. He was correct. At least twelve people had stopped near the science fountain to stare. Two girls on a bench were actively holding their phones up, the lenses aimed straight at us. My skin felt tight. The air felt too thick to breathe."We have been walking for exactly four minutes," I whispered, my jaw rigid. "The public display requirements for today have been sufficiently met.

FEYA"Get out," Maya snapped, stepping between him and my corner of the room. Her combat boots clicked loudly against the floor. "She is having a severe sensory overload because of your stupid blog post, and you walking in here like a wrecking ball isn't helping."Jaxson didn't look at her. His piercing blue eyes were fixed entirely on me. He took a slow, deliberate step around Maya and dropped to one knee, lowering his posture until he was at eye level with my curled-up form."Feya," he said. His voice was lower now, losing its usual arrogant edge, though it still had that raspy vibration that scratched at my ears. "Just…look at my chin or something. Come on.”I forced my eyes open, shifting my gaze to the sharp line of his jaw. It was perfectly even. The bastard. I took calming breaths. "The photographs…," I said, my voice cracking slightly. "I know," Jaxson said, standing up and running a hand through his unruly black hair. He looked completely stressed, a sharp vein pulsing near
