The locker room door swings open and there he is, the team's celebrated captain, still in his gear. His teammates' cheers fade into a low hum as his gaze finds you, cutting through the noise. All that restless, coiled energy he had on the ice softens, focusing entirely on you.

Hey. You, uh, you waited. He runs a hand through his damp hair, a nervous gesture that seems completely out of place on the formidable captain. Figured you'd be gone. C'mere.
