AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAA

okay i'm done screaming (for now)

what about connor's reaction to vi in the wag jacket?!?! since you just mentioned that !

it's okay, vibe o'clock is back, we live for screaming.

i'm thinking vi has been in chicago for a majority of her break especially since michigan is playing at Wrigley on Friday so she'd be seeing her parents and luca anyway.

but she's hanging around connor's apartment and he's coming back from practice with a box in his hands causing her to raise an eyebrow, they giving you more clothes to wear?"

his laugh rung out through the space, shaking his head as he made his way over to her, "no, actually. this one, is for you, pretty girl."

her eyebrows furrowed, taking the box from his hands and placing it on the couch before slowly taking the top off and pealing back the layers of the tissue paper. at first, the white winter coat that was nestled in the box made her raise an eyebrow in confusion and suspicion, but as she pulled it out, letting it hang down from her hands, she turned it around and gasped softly at the 98 branded to the back of the coat followed by the 'bedard' in red curvisive just below it.

her eyes flicked to her boyfriend and then back at the jacket, tears almost welling in her eyes, "i got a wag jacket?"

he couldn't help the small chuckle that came from his throat, eyes scanning over the pure joy that was written all over her face, "yeah, baby. you are my girlfriend and if i remember correctly that is what the 'g' in wag stands for."

"shut up," her eyes made work of memorizing every detail on the jacket, the 'chicago' written on the left sleeve in the same red cursive lettering his name was in.

connor was beaming with pride as he watched her, only slightly confused as to why something with his name and number made her tear up when she had so many other things that did. but if it was special to her, it was special to him so it didn't matter much what he thought.

(OMG THERE'S A TIME WHERE HE FORGETS WHO SHE IS WHEN HE GETS DRUNK ONE TIME)

OH ???

I need this PLEASE 🤭🤭

okay so!

he's just really drunk (maybe he had a really good game or smth and everyone was just feeding him drinks). she's standing next to him with an arm around his waist and once she notices how drunk he is she's trying to tug him to her car, "c'mon baby, let's get you home"

that's when luke notices her and he plants his feet into the ground, starring down at her, "no. you're not my girlfriend. my girlfriend's playing hockey right now."

at first she laughs thinking it's just a joke but then she realizes he's being serious and looks at him, "luke, it is me, i'm sabrina."

"noooo, sab is prettier. way prettier. my gorgeous girl."

she's not sure if she should feel offended or happy that he's all protective over this and rambling on about how is 'girlfriend' is prettier. but she just drags him away to her car despite his protests.

they're almost there when luke stops them and turns to nico who happens to be standing right there, "this girl is kidnapping me!"

nico stops his conversation and turns to look at him, "you mean you're girlfriend?"

he looks at nico and then looks down at sab who now is standing there with her arms crossed and an annoyed expression on her face. then it clicks and he grins so big, "baby! when did you get here? this girl was trying to flirt with me and trying ot get me to go home with her but i told her no because i'm with you."

this time sab smiles and holds his hand, "alright lukey, let's go home."

she takes him to her car and is in the process of putting his seatbelt on when she notices the pout on his face, "what's wrong handsome?"

"you're pretty."

"i think you established that earlier."

he nods, playing with the ends of her hair until she pulls away to get into the car as well.

what about baby bear and adam making out at the lake house, and her brothers are just like...nah ew-

oh god, on one hand, she would never live it down and on the other hand, they would be so entirely grossed out that they aren't sure they want to bring it up again to tease her.

it would probably be late afternoon, just becoming evening when it would happen. the others were out on the boat and the two had decided to stay back as they were tired.

they would be in her bedroom watching a movie and she would place a kiss on his cheek and he would reciprocate with one on her lips and it would just escalate from there.

jack would walk in and just stand in shock before a shriek of horror came out which caused the two of them to pull away instantly, baby bear's cheek the reddest they had ever been as she fiddled with her hands.

"don't tell-"

"quinn! luke!"

the two would groan knowing they were in fact going to get 'talked to' and after their feelings of disgust past they would never live this down.

[cupidbedsy]

okay what about sober sab taking care of a drunken lukey ? is he clinging on her yapping away? 🤭

i could kiss you i love this question

okay so

he defintely his, there is no doubt in my mind. he's just like, "sab!!! i have to tell you about this game i played with jack the other day. he's really trash at it, y'know? and he keeps saying that he's good, but i know better."

sometimes it could be a different scenario too when he's had a shitty time and he gets drunk so he's a sad drunk and he's all like, "you like me better right? that's all that matters is that i have you. please tell me you like me more."

his arms are around her waist and his head is buried in her chest (as we talked about 🤭). a lot of the time she has no clue what he's saying because of the fact that his head is there and that he's murmuring and stuff so she'll just nod along and play with his hair.

when she stops doing it to grab her phone or her water, he pouts and whines, "baby come back. keep doing it please."

and then he'll sigh happily when she resumes.

then she's trying to change him into comfier clothes and he gets all blushy and shit, "you can't change me. i do it. can't see me naked"

and she's laughing because she defintely has seen him naked before but even when she tells him that, he shakes is head firmly and repeats the same thing until she turns around.

(OMG THERE'S A TIME WHERE HE FORGETS WHO SHE IS WHEN HE GETS DRUNK ONE TIME)

[cupidbedsy]

ANA DO NOT KILL RORO SHES TO PRECIOUS

ANA IS GOING TO KILL ME HELP?? @winterbarnesblog

[cupidbedsy]

OH!

how does adam feel about baby bears achievements ? does he often brag about her to others ?

he is so so so proud of her! whether it's from getting an a on her latest test or choreographing a new routine, he's telling her how well she did and how proud of he is of her.

before they start dating and they're just friends when she's in ohio (the very short like 2-3 months bc she does know him from luke's first year of college and vice versa), he just causually brings it up during calls with luca or really any of the umich guys, "yeah i texted eve today, said she got an a on her test."

when they start dating, it's much more obvious that he's doing it in a loving manner, but he usually reserves that for his team bc he's absolutely terrified of like finding out.

they could be on a roadie and he's with kj like "evie just did this new dance do you want to see it?"

or when he gets a sneak peak of a new dance she's in and sees she's in the front even for the breifiest moment he's rambling about it to kj too.

[cupidbedsy]

OKAY !

So since you asked me- I gotta ask 🤭

What's possessive Trev like with Chloe?

AHHH OKAY

so let’s do when they aren’t dating

so it’s a year after they’ve broken up and trevor’s already realized how much he’s screwed up by saying shit to her.

shes talking with some guys at a bar and trevor is completely losing his shit. he’s gripping his beer bottle tightly, death starring the three of the guys that are flirting with her, constantly running a hand through his hair.

quinn’s laughing internally because he’s the only one who knows that they were together.

and when they are together… if they’re around jack or anyone else it’s usually just trevor bumping into the guy or ‘accidentally’ cutting in between them.

if they’re just out in public by themselves or once everyone knows, he’s full on wrapping his arms around her waist behind her, resting his chin on her shoulder and just shooting the guy a smirk.

then if he doesn’t take the hint he’s turning his head and placing kisses on her neck and murmuring what he’s planning on doing to her once they get back to his apartment or wherever they’re at.

[cupidbedsy]

okay so, what about when noah is like learning to crawl around, quinn goes to grab him a bottle and then comes right back and poof ! hes gone (crawled under the table or behind the couch maybe) and quinn is freaking tf out

WAIT THIS IS GOLDEN I LOVE THIS

quinn double checks that noah is highly focused on his toys, he's been left alone with him after valeria went out to run some errands. once he makes sure that noah is in fact entranced with the blocks he's playing with, he walks over to the kitchen to grab himself a water bottle and a bottle for noah.

he finishes everything as quickly as he can, making his way back to the living room and stops dead in his tracks when he sees noah's building blocks abandoned and no noah.

he is immediately panicking, setting the items he's holding on the coffee table and turning in circles trying to figure out where tf he went.

"noah?"

he goes back to the kitchen to see if by some miracle he crawled in there and didn't see him before he left, but he wasn't in there which only causes him to panic more.

he almost debates calling valeria but the thought of her finding out that they lost their son in their own home is scary. he goes back to the living room, checking under the coffee table again and walking behind the couch.

as soon as he turns the corner of the couch, he can feel the weight lift off his shoulder and can feel the anxiety rush out of him. he's bending down and picking him up, tickling his stomach, "you had me worried there bud. you would've gotten me killed, you know that?"

he brings him back around, grabbing the bottle and sitting down the couch, "and we are definitely putting the couch against the wall later."

he kisses his head, feeding him the bottle and noah drifts off to sleep while drinking it.

[cupidbedsy]

im living vicariously through him rn

okay then admin (dougie) where is he?

corner his roommate (luke) and torture him until he tells you.

[cupidbedsy]

OH! does sab ever join luke for his pregame naps ??

OMG YES

luke claims he plays better when she participates in them so every chance he gets to ask her he does, plus head scratches ofc. eventually she starts doing it on her own accord before her games so he’ll join her for those too!

[cupidbedsy]

OKAY OKAY !

what are all of your au's fave things to do at christmas timeee?

ooo okay! i honestly think most of these are going to correlate with what their fics are about.

so luke and phi is ice skating.

con and vi's is looking at christmas lights (plus with their anniversary being two days after christmas it would also be just buying each other presents).

jamie and bella's is decorating but a close second is baking cookies.

adam and eve's is also baking cookies along with their gingerbread houses.

molly, will, and gabe's is ofc watching christmas movies

jack and cassie's aren't huge fans of christmas in the sense that there's too much going on. so their favorite thing is to just spend time with each other with how much cassie has off from school.

chloe and trevor's is singing. anytime someone mentions christmas caroling, or christmas karaoke, they are jumping on that opportunity.

and luke and sab's is the snow! they love going out and having snowball fights, espeically with their competitive spirits.

[cupidbedsy]

okay, so i would probably assume this is very early on with them? but, what about vi just having a rough time and feeling down and shutting connor out and he doesn't really know what to do

ooo yes yes ! i agree it would be very early on with them, probably in late august or early september so it's been about two/three-ish months since they met.

as much as she hated to admit it the stress was getting to her from her first year of college. she had been overwhelmed with work and scheduling so she's kind of just pushing everyone she can away while she tries to figure her shit out.

connor hasn't really experienced this side of her yet so it's hard for him to know what to do in these scenarios so he's just texting her nonstop and trying to see why she won't respond.

he initially thinks he's done something wrong bc like i said he hasn't witnessed her anxiety and depression yet. but a few days later, she's finally calmed down enough and gotten some of her life back together so she explains it to him and that's when he finally learns about it

he then spends a lot of time looking stuff up trying to make sure that when this does happen again, he's ready and he can help her

[cupidbedsy]

OKAY SO

You said angsty-

So, how about some chole and Trev angst? Because i know we've spoken about them having a lot!

ah i can't believe i didn't answer this last night !

so i do have their phone call already written i just have to go back and edit it...

so we're gonna switch to another little angst part which is them seeing each other for the first time since the call

they're hanging out at the hughes house and at first chloe just didn't want to come out of her room but quinn finally got her to at least go downstairs and watch a movie with him.

it's not that long afterwards that trevor and jack come barreling in, laughing about something. when trevor and chloe's eyes meet everyone can feel how tense it is and while quinn is practically fuming jack is oblivious as fuck and he just takes trevor upstairs to his room

chloe then kind of breaks down with quinn and the two move up to her room to finish the movie incase trevor makes his way back downstairs

[cupidbedsy]

OMG

so, i know you wrote about jack and trev plotting to get ophelia and luke together- so, how many times does this happen ??

honestly it's a good healthy amount (at least for jack and trevor)

besides the first time when her and him meet, it happens every so often, usually just when the four of them are all together (summer's get very chaotic).

for trevor, he'll tell ophelia what to wear on some days because he knows exactly which ones will get luke to blush and shit and it's so funny to him.

for jack he's trying to make them jealous so he's bringing up that he saw ophelia with some guy to luke and then he'll tell phi that he saw luke flirting with some girl.

at first ophelia and luke are kind of oblivious to this but then one time jack and trevor coordinate for them to meet up unexpectedly and they don't mind that they run into each other. but like halfway through them hanging out at the ice cream shop, ophelia notices the two of them in a booth in the corner with sunglasses on and talking to each other softly and she's just like wtf

[cupidbedsy]

what's the summer at the beach house like for luke and ophelia?

AH OKAY

so since they met at the hughes' house originally during the summer, it's their favorite time of year to be together. and now that they are dating and jack and quinn have bought the lake house, they argue that it's so much better.

it's definitely chaotic, they aren't the most pda type of people so usually if they're together they're just holding hands or ophelia is snuggled into luke's side. there are a few rare times where she ends up in his lap and even then it's just the sweetest thing every cause it happens when she's exhausted. basically 9 times out of 10 when ophelia is in luke's lap it is because she is tired as fuck and she's most likely sleeping

but besides all of that, they do spend a lot of time with jack, quinn, trev, and cole and whoever else is there. boat rides are probably the most chaotic thing because it usually ends in trevor and ophelia fighting about something and one of them ends up in the lake.

and if that happens and it's phi who is the one in the lake, luke is always jumping in there to join her/bring her back to the boat even though he knows she doesn't need it.

sometimes they'll play softball which ophelia loves because she always claims she needs to get better even though she is one of the bests on the team. (there was definitely one time where she accidentally hit a ball and it hit luke in the stomach and she apologized profusely. and then on the next pitch she hit trevor in the stomach and she just shrugged it off)

[cupidbedsy]

he’s a precious lil thing and i want to kiss his face all over

KJ RUN DOWN

for my lovely friend @cupidbedsy (and anyone else who wants to know more about kj)!

- born october 18, 2002 (22)

- grew up in port moody, british columbia

- he is half finnish! his mom was born in finland, but moved to canada at a really young age. his middle name is kalevi, which translates to “ancestor of the finns.”

- grew up a canucks fan, but cites johnny gaudreau as his inspiration → "i was obviously a canucks fan, but there was one playoff series where i was just loving it because johnny was dominating, and they beat the canucks. i was like, 'man, this guy’s unreal.’.”

- “gaudreau was small in comparison to most nhl players. generously, he was listed at 5 feet 9, 165 pounds. johnson, who is 6-0, 180, grew up as the smallest player on the ice before he turned 14 and shot up “about three inches a year” over four years.”

- “before those growth spurts, johnson firmly believed he'd be gaudreau’s size. it created a chip on his shoulder and fueled his drive.”

- "johnny was obviously a great player, but kent had a real connection to john because he was really small," jay johnson said. "he was, by far, the smallest kid on his teams. he was good when he was little, so he made the bantam aaa team when he was only 90 pounds, when the average kid might’ve been 120 or 130, and some way bigger. so, he had that connection to johnny. he just loved how he played hockey, and he told me at some point, ‘if johnny gaudreau can do it, i can do it, too.’ "

- “you know how it is with small guys,” kent johnson said. “it”s like, ‘can they do it in the playoffs?’ obviously, i hated hearing that, and i loved seeing johnny prove those guys wrong. so, i would study his game a lot. there’s some little things i do now that i feel like i got first from watching him.”

- he played junior hockey for the trail smoke eaters of the bchl. in the 2018-2019 season, he scored 20 goals and had a total of 26 points in 57 games. in the 2019-2020 season, he won the brett hull trophy as the league’s leading scorer with 41 goals and 60 assists in 52 games!

- he was named bchl first-team all-star, bchl most sportsmanlike player, bchl mvp, and canadian junior hockey league forward of the year!

- played college hockey at the university of michigan for the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons

- drafted 5th overall by the columbus blue jackets in 2021

- scored the golden goal for canada in the wjc gold medal game to beat finland

- signed an entry-level contract with the blue jackets on april 8, 2022

- as of december 9, 2024, he has 14 points (8 goals, 6 assists) in 13 games played during the 2024-2025 season

- he is on pace for 94 points this season
