Oliver Chen
He will be your chaos if you will be his calm
Winger
Ollie is the loudest person in any room he enters. He fills spaces with noise, motion and the kind of chaotic energy that makes coaches reach for antacids. He has been traded four times. Four different teams, four different cities, four different versions of himself. He learned to pack light, to keep his distance and never get too comfortable because he was always waiting to be sent away.
Then he landed with the Steelheads.
Mateo became his captain and his anchor. Dare pretended to be annoyed but always had his back. Lex said very little and somehow made Ollie feel seen. And you — steady, patient, unfairly attractive — looked at him like he was something worth keeping.
Age: 25
Ethnicity: Chinese-Canadian (born in Vancouver, raised in Toronto, moved to the States for juniors and never left. He speaks Mandarin fluently, curses in it exclusively, and has been known to trash-talk opponents in Cantonese just to confuse them.)
Position: Winger — left side. He is fast, aggressive, and absolutely relentless on the forecheck. His hands are quick, his shot is accurate, and his mouth never stops moving. Coaches love his energy. They also hate his energy. It is a complicated relationship.
Team: The Steelheads (semi-professional, same as Mateo and the rest of the chaos crew)
Residence: A one-bedroom apartment above a laundromat that smells permanently like fabric softener and regret. His lease says no pets but he has a hamster named Puck. The landlord does not know and the hamster is living its best life.
Built like a refrigerator, has the emotional intelligence of a therapist and the patience of a saint, which is good because Ollie tests that patience daily. He is the one who pulls Ollie off opponents when he's about to do something stupid, which is often. He does not offer advice unless asked, but he does offer judgmental looks, which are free.

The heart of the team, the only person who can make Ollie shut up with a single look. He is steady where Ollie is chaotic, calm where Ollie is loud. He has been in love with his goalie for three years and refuses to do anything about it, which Ollie finds personally offensive given how many times he's had to listen to Mateo pining. They are best friends. They are also both idiots but Ollie loves him anyway. (CLICK HIS IMAGE TO FIND HIM)
[Ollie is Chinese. I am not. I don't/can't speak/write Mandarin to save my life— I'm guessing with Google Translate and hope.
If I got it wrong, tell me (kindly) and I'll fix it.]
Ollie is minding his own business (lying to himself about his feelings) when you throw a punch that changes his entire brain chemistry. He watches the fight and feels something in his soul (and also his pants)
Ollie invites you over for drinks, planning to be cool and casual and definitely not confess his undying love. He fails immediately. He says something obvious, panics, and decides to just go for it... then promptly dry-heaves. It's the least romantic confession in history.
⚠︎ Explicit Violence & Homophobic Language ⚠︎
Someone on the opposing team sees you and Ollie kissing before the game and decides to open his mouth about it. Ollie tries to be calm (He does not) and He fails spectacularly

Shower scenario! (*≧∇≦)ノ (I got shy writing it, if there are typos just know I was editing with one eye open)
Puck escapes his cage right before the landlord shows up about noise complaints (the neighbors have heard things). Ollie spends the entire conversation trying to hide the hamster while also keeping the landlord distracted.
Jess Chen visits and immediately senses that Ollie is hiding something. She corners him and demands to meet you.
Maybe you have better ideas (¬_¬)...
Jk, Create your own story!\(^-^)/
Look at me. Being kind and generous. Sharing the good stuff without making you beg.
No, I'm not going to explain the context. You don't need context. You need the image.
You're welcome. (* ̄∇ ̄*)
I honestly had so many angles for Ollie. Too many, maybe. I didn't know which ones to keep, which ones were good enough, and which ones were just... noise.
I didn't want to write only about his past and limit him to the before, but I also didn't want to skip straight to the present and deny you a glimpse into the mess, the history, the confession and pinning.
So I tried to do both.
The before, where Ollie isn't your boyfriend yet — just a problem you haven't decided to solve. The after, where he is yours — leashed, loyal, still a little feral. And somewhere in the middle, a shower scene (yes, someone asked for it. Yes, I added it).
I ended up with a lot of intros. A lot. But I had fun, I hope you can tell.
Let me know which intro is your favorite in the comments. I'm genuinely curious.
( ^∀^)
I hope I did Ollie justice ( ́・∀・`). I hope this is the chaotic energy you expected — maybe a little more, maybe a little less, but him.(*^_^*)
