Today is either GLORIOUS or TRAGIC depending on your opinions re: cradle robbing. It is Jeff Skinner's last day as a teenager and I just think it should go out with a bang
( Read more... )
OH MAN. I have been thinking about this since you told me last night, and I can completely see Eric thinking that maybe it isn't so wrong to be into Jeff if he's not a teenager, and so he waits to make his move until after he turns twenty, because it makes him feel better somehow, but he's been driving Jeff CRAZY for years and Jeff wants to take matters into his own hands...for example.
I am totally going to write something for real, though. YES.
Eric's proud of Jeff for going to world's but he can't really just happen to be in Sweden like he could if Jeff was in Toronto. So he has to wait even longer! And Jeff is being great and giggling all over the place in videos. (And taking stupid rage penalties but then making up for them with goals. So, still Jeff.)
YES EXACTLY THAT. So Eric texts Jeff to wish him a happy birthday, and ask if they can do dinner when he gets back from Worlds, and Jeff says yes, absolutely, and Eric watches Jeff on the ice for the rest of the tournament, and they'll have to talk later about Jeff chilling out on the penalties but for now Eric can just enjoy watching Jeff play, which he doesn't get to do very often.
AND THEN I AVOID THE OUTCOME OF THE TOURNAMENT BECAUSE I AM PATRIOTIC ABOUT THIS SORTS OF THINGS BUT I DON'T WANT TO BREAK JEFF'S HEART.
SO.
Jeff gets back the next week, and Eric goes down to his place in Toronto for the week, pretending like he meant to be there for training purposes but he really hadn't intended to leave the Bay much that summer. Jeff doesn't need to know that.
Yessss. It's not like turning 20 is a big milestone - he could drink in Ontario last year, but won be able to in Raleigh until next year - well. Not a big milestone to anyone but Eric.
Well, considering he's at Worlds with Getzlaf, who canonically rolled & duct-taped Crosby (in his underwear) in a mattress at Juniors, and put him in an elevator down to the lobby with no key to get back... I feel certain that a responsible captain wouldn't miss an opportunity like this.
Or Jordan Eberle can take him out to a Dairy Queen to talk about dudes who insist on staying home because of shoulder surgery babies.
I'm not sure I have anything to add to this thread, because JSkinner's face makes me kind of incoherent, but I'm glad it exists, and will be stopping by and encouraging it all day.
Oh man, I can't believe he's twenty. It seems like only yesterday that eStaal was trying to forget that he was already stumbling through long division when Jeff was born.
I'm working on that boning/pining-filled high school AU, but tell me what you want to read anyway! :DDD
GLORIOUS! And right? It seems like just yesterday I was font size 7ing his birthday in Imp's journal as we all realized just HOW YOUNG he is/was.
Ummm god, I kind of want ridiculous fluff. Or if you have anyway to complete the thought I dropped on Imp the other night "Jeff as the Hulk." it went literally nowhere and I still have no ideas but w/e
Jeff wakes up to his phone ringing. He rolls over to grab it from the bedside table. The room's noticeably quieter than usual, which probably means Ebs slept over in Nuge's room again. Jeff holds the phone to his ear without looking at the display
( ... )
"If you woke up while I'm sucking you, I'd pull off, because god, I'd want to see your face when you realize what woke you up. You'd look so good, Jeff, turned on and surprised and happy, which you should be, you should be happy, because it's your birthday, and I fucking love seeing you happy, making you happy," Eric's babbling now, his words coming out in a rush. "I'd take you back into my mouth, just the tip of it, while I slick my fingers up to get you open. I'd try to be gentle, but you don't really like that--" Jeff makes a gaspy, moaning noise at that because god, Eric knows him so well-- "and you'd be tilting your hips up, trying to get more friction, trying to get me to go faster but I want to draw it out, want to make you beg for it
( ... )
He may (almost) no longer be a teenager, but Jeff Skinner's tantrums never fail to make me lol, SO. Someone please oh please write the fic where Jeff Skinner is constantly cockblocking an oblivious EStaal at the bars and clubs (Eric's just trying to forget how much he wants to bang his practically-jailbait teammate, but that's really difficult when Jeff's constantly showing up to salt his game, JEEZ JEFF) and then finally EStaal figures things out and they bone.
God, RIGHT? I'm just saying. Eric's used to getting...a certain amount of attention when they all go out, which is nice and flattering but he's never paid that much attention to it. Except now he's catching himself staring at Jeff's mouth and cracking jokes to get Jeff to laugh all the time, and just. He needs to nip this in the bud.
So the next time a good-looking woman offers to buy him a drink, Eric takes a breath and says, "Yeah, that'd be really nice, thank you."
Her name's Ashley and she seems really nice, and she actually follows hockey, which is pretty cool. Eric's feeling pretty encouraged, thinking about maybe asking for her number, and then Jeff shows up with a odd, determined look on his face.
"Hey, man, what's up?" Eric says, smiling at Jeff, trying to ease away whatever Jeff's got going on. "Oh, this is Ashley."
"Nice to meet you," Ashley says, reaching out her hand to Jeff. Who looks at it like maybe Ashley has a disease or something, which is not cool at all, but then reaches out to take it.
"Yeah, you too," he says, in a tone of voice that would only sound normal if you didn't know Jeff at all and thought that he was that disinterested all the time.
"So..." Eric says, not sure what to do now. He had a nice little rapport going on with Ashley before, and she's really beautiful and it's been so, so long since Eric has let himself have something like this, and he won't turn Jeff away, but Jeff's just sitting there and nursing his beer and not saying anything at all.
Ashley shoots a smile at Eric, and he shrugs back and mouths, sorry at her. She looks like she's taking it okay, though. "So," Ashley says, picking up the slack, thankfully, "you guys going to get the Cup back to Raleigh this year

It's probably reason #374 why Sid keeps multiple layers of clothing on at all times.
