The first game of the season.
Chris walked past the line of fans and press, his face remaining impassive and unreadable despite the questions and praise being thrown at him. 'Welcome To The Jungle' by Guns n' Roses blared through his AirPods, blocking out most of the noise as he entered the building and made his way to the locker room, his dress shoes sticking slightly to the rubber floor as he walked. T-Minus 3 hours until the face-off.
He walked past your new office, dipping his chin in his version of a greeting when you stepped out. You jumped in surprise, almost running into him when you exited the room. Chris wanted to smile when his greeting was met with an ice-cold glare, satisfied that you were successfully pissed off. He blamed his indifference towards you on your 'rainbow and sunshine' personality, trying to rationalize his behavior because no one was really that fucking happy in life. Ever. Something was hiding beneath your happy-go-lucky façade and he was going to break you.
He'd gotten pretty close, but he wanted to see you unravel, not just throw a couple of f-bombs at him. Still, Chris imagined that this side of you wasn't something Connor was accustomed to. He had been very surprised by your reaction last week when you'd told him to fuck off. Chris thought it was funny. Connor did not. He definitely ripped Chris a new one for how he'd been acting towards you.
He, of course, tried to defend himself, reciting some of the insults that you'd thrown his way, but Connor didn't care. Chris knew that he couldn't exactly play the victim here.
He wasn't Mr. Sunshine, and there was a reason they called him the Boston Brute. He was an asshole. Chris was unapologetically blunt, he took what he wanted, and he made no apologies for whoever he fucked over in the process. On and off of the rink. His mother blamed it on hockey. That it was a savage sport that had turned Chris into a man who lacked emotion and empathy. Someone who solved his problems with his fists instead of words. Though this past week, his words proved to be just as lethal.
