Summary
It’s now been six months since the biggest and best mistake Smitty had ever made. His plane had landed on time, and now he finds himself stepping out of a cab and onto the front steps of a hotel. He and John had planned to spend a few days there before driving down to their friends’ annual Fourth of July celebration.
Standing in the lobby of the hotel, suitcase beside him, he quickly sends Matt a text that he is safe and at the hotel, adding that he may or may not be freaking out. Within seconds, his phone is ringing. Matt's voice is calm and soft, reminding him nothing has to happen, that he is the one in control of this situation; reminding him of the late-night conversations, the texts; reminding him of the ways that John has already shown himself to be a good man. Smitty nods along, closes his eyes and takes a deep cleansing breath. They quietly say goodbye; Smitty slips his phone into his pocket, picks up his bag, and starts moving.

Summary
Matt took a step into the room, cocking his head with a cautious smile. “You’re mad that I won that stupid game?”
Blake granted himself a sip of water so that the glass could block his face for a precious moment. “No, ‘course not. I’m not a fuckin’ baby, dude.”
“Well, I’m just workin’ with what you’re giving me, buddy.” Matt huffed with candor. “D’you wanna spit it out, or…?”
Blake scowled, tracing the lines of his water glass to stall for the right way to say it. “I’m mad that you have this stupid tendency to…to—I don’t know.” He knew he was losing him, because Matt advanced much further in the room, less concerned about genuinely upsetting him. Blake floundered for his bearings. “You—you beat me so bad it was like you fuckin’ hated me, or something.”
Matt raised a brow, stronger than before, and he knew that few words were required to back the action up. “Yeah?”

An innocent hockey game between friends gets heated. Blake cares too much and Matt has never played fair.
