Re: Check, Please

Jack!

Oh.

Oh no.

Re: Check, Please

[eatmoreprotein]

Bittle?

No, what? Why do you look so worried?

[puckandpie]

You're not supposed to be here! Oh, Jack. No.

It's nice to see you though. Believe it or not, I've missed you.

[eatmoreprotein]

And where is here, exactly?

Why wouldn't I believe that you missed me, besides the fact that I saw you ten minutes ago?

[puckandpie]

Uhm. It's a city called Darrow. You've never heard of it before. No one's heard of it before.

Well, I mean. It's just me. And it's only been ten minutes for you, but it's been almost half a year for me.

[eatmoreprotein]

[blinks]

What the hell are you talking about?

[puckandpie]

It's... really hard to explain, I'm sorry.

I think it might be my fault you're even here. Is there any way you can turn around and go back? Is it too late?

[eatmoreprotein]

Considering that I have no idea how I got here in the first place? Probably not.

[puckandpie]

Oh. Okay.

I'm sorry.

[eatmoreprotein]

Half a year, huh? Then what's the last thing you remember?

[puckandpie]

We were playing Princeton in the play-offs, very end of the third period. You took a face-off and I got checked.

[eatmoreprotein]

... That was so long ago. An entire semester ago. Before you even moved into the Haus.

[puckandpie]

I... I moved into the Haus??

[eatmoreprotein]

Johnson gave you his dibs. You're across the hall from me.

You put up curtains in the kitchen.

[puckandpie]

Oh. Goodness, that must pretty annoying for you. I hope I've been a considerate Haus-mate, at least. How's Betsy been holding up?

[eatmoreprotein]

No, I mean, it was a little rough at first but--

[suddenly realization dawns and he looks sad before swallowing hard and nodding]

You were fine, Bittle.

[puckandpie]

But what? What'd I do? Jack, what's wrong? Aside from the obvious, I mean.

[eatmoreprotein]

[fidgets awkwardly]

I got used to the singing in the shower. We took a class together.

We-- we were friends.

[puckandpie]

... oh. Wow. Really? Friends?

[eatmoreprotein]

Good friends, I think. You don't remember.

[frowns and swallows hard, trying to school his expression]

[puckandpie]

I... No. No, I don't remember, I'm sorry. It's not too hard to believe though, I don't think? It felt a little bit like you were at least starting to not actively dislike me before... well, before I ended up here.

[eatmoreprotein]

I didn't actively dislike you.

[puckandpie]

Jack. We both know I was the weakest on the team. It's okay.
