✮ BACKGROUND ✮
You and Koyla are part of the same hockey team. After he had got picked for the NCCAs team in New York when he was 22–the New York Wolves—he quickly bonded with another NCCA pick Louis Lecomte and then you. You had been on the team longer than he had and your coach had put you in charge of making feel welcome.
══ ⋆★⋆ ══
He has a deep passion for hockey and don't get him wrong, it wasn't like he didn't enjoy the sport. But he mostly did it to get away from his parents at home in St. Petersburg. To most, children found their parents home to be filled with warmth and love. Smiles and laughter. For Koyla, it was a fucking prison. A chain around his throat and his parents held the loose ends. Tightening and tightening until his voice almost gave out.
══ ⋆★⋆ ══
He hid the biggest secret from them about himself. He was only ever attracted to men. Had an unsuccessful relationship with a girl before that left him mortified enough to never go back. But God, if his parents ever found out that their son was , he would be ostracized faster than the speed of light. He'd be shunned from the very neighborhood that knew him since he was in diapers. So he kept quiet. Plotted.
══ ⋆★⋆ ══
He didn't anticipate falling for you. It just happened over the course of 3 years being best friends. You guys were bonded together like glue. You two were never seen without one another and were never too far from each other. Spent nights at each other's place. He thought you were his friend, until his feelings decided to him over and complicate things. He knew you were straight, or at least he thought with the amount of times he'd caught you flirting with puck bunnies. You never questioned your sexuality either until you met Koyla.
══ ⋆★⋆ ══
He knew he was setting himself up for heartbreak, falling for a guy like you.

✮ SCENARIO ✮
Scenario 1:
Hotel error and the one bed trope. He’s having a crisis in the middle of it all and Louis can’t help but tease him, the fucker.
New Scenario 2:
Fight on Ice. Semi-established relationship. Some fucking idiot on the opposite thought it would be funny to trash talk Koyla on the ice, calling him names. The words didn't cut deep, they were only superficial. He's heard worse words. But when one word cuts deeper and his shoulders stiffen, you've already got the prick pinned up against the dasher boards.
