Wouter van Noort is 93% done with The Trade Deadline

It took monumental effort to go through the rest of the handshake line and it passed by in such a daze that he knew he wouldn't remember any of it later. Well, except that one part. Jag ålskar dig.
I love you.

Lars's heart was near to bursting as he waited, and then all too soon it was his turn. "You played well," he said, hand out, at the same time that Ryan said, "Jag ålskar dig."

Wouter van Noort is 78% done with The Trade Deadline

After Ryan went through a few laps on their half of the rink, he made a beeline for center ice where Lars was not-so-casually stick handling. "Your blazer is really ugly." he said as he stopped next to him.

They were at Lars's condo, their usual on the day after a home game. His place was closer to the arena and the practice facility, while Ryan's was closer to the airport. Definitely not about anything other than convenient logistics.

He moved his hands higher to wrap around Ryan's back. Their chests bumped and Lars thought he could feel Ryan's heart. He rubbed their noses together before stealing a quick kiss.

Am I living with my boyfriend? Lars asked himself that often, and never had a satisfying answer.

Ryan sat there, motionless, until he finally was too tired to stay upright. He let himself fall to the bed and pass out, mind blissfully blank, and thankfully didn't dream of how he might've fucked up the best thing he had going for him.

Lars was fully aware that pursuing any sort of romantic or sexual relationship with Ryan was a bad idea. He had nothing but reasons to avoid it.

If even one of his sisters realized he had a crush on a teammate, they'd never let him live it down. Worse, they might encourage him to do something incredibly dumb like tell Lars Nilsson he wanted nothing more than to relive that one night in Geneva.

He looked at Ryan, cheeks rosy and hair sweat-damp, and remembered his promise. Guess we'll just have to make it.

Beer with Ryan was a bad idea. Not because anything happened or Lars did anything stupid, but because Ryan was really cute when he was relaxed.

Ryan didn't regret his hookup in Toronto. It was rejuvenating and had spurred a three game scoring streak. That it helped distract him from the growing place Lars held in his life was an added benefit.

They didn't say another word to each other, but occasionally their eyes would lock across the room and every time, Ryan could hear the promise as clearly as he had the first time. I'll make it up to you.

Hadn't he just gotten himself unceremoniously kicked off a team for not being able to control himself? Focus on hockey. Shouldn't be too hard, since it seemed like the guy wanted to do the same. Pity, though. He was really good looking.

This was surreal. One of the top NHL prospects, a World Juniors gold medalist, a complete charmer (apparently) and hottie (confirmed), was hitting on him of all people.

One day, I hope, I'll be able to live with it.
One day I'll forget that I was able to kill a man.

I'm left alone on the road. No ghosts. No phantoms. No ghouls. No wraiths. No Sawyer. Just me.

I scream it at the top of my lungs, expelling it into the heat waves.
"I banish you from life and memory, forever. I banish you to death!"

Can't I just be a kid? Or am I doomed to lurk in darkness? Prisoner to evil? The questions go on, but each one gets quieter until they are barely heard, not even by me. What did I do wrong? What did I do?

I still hear him constantly. Come out, come out, wherever you are. Can barely tell if it's real or I'm imagining it. Same with everything else in this world.

The questions keep unfolding about where he exists on the pendulum between life and death. How did you put someone in the ground?

On the bus that afternoon, someone stares at me.
Across the aisle, perfectly upright, smiling deadly.

It can't be... The Heritage killer is in my library in full daylight... walking. Free. Moving outside of his loop. Is this real?

I came closest to the monsters when I was ten. It was in my old house's basement, in the middle of the night. A jingle emanated all the way up to my room, like the music from a jack-in-the-box.
At the bottom of the stairs, there was a ghost.

"What...the... fuck?" This is not some dead object bleeding into my reality, this writing is really here. Someone wrote their initials in blood in my house. And they meant for us to find it.

What if my classmates were murdered? What if, at some point, it wasn't a drill? What if they passed into the afterlife and were stuck in their death loops, dying forever?

I'd hate to be that kid who died in PE class.

Pain. Blood. Yelling. Silence. For seconds, minutes, hours, days, Kiva knew nothing, floating in a sea of oblivion, her eyelids fluttering open and closed, each time revealing someone different.

She should feel pain, should have been in agony. But there was nothing. Just blood. Lots and lots of blood. It was all Kiva could see. Until her eyes closed. And then... Darkness.
