"I can't believe you, Quatre." Trowa murmured as he put the bandage on the cut over Quatre's eyebrow.
"What?" Quatre asked, blinking wide innocent eyes at Trowa.
Trowa gave an exasperated snort and, lacking any pretense of gentleness, wiped the scrapes on Quatre's knuckles with an alcohol swab. The blonde looked like he had been plowed over by a freight train. He had a cut over his blackened eye, a split lip, a bruise on his left cheek and scrapes all over his knuckles. His blonde hair was matted and clumped, sticking up at odd angles. Trowa huffed as he took in the other's appearance.
"For Christ sake, Quatre. People are going to think I'm beating you!" Trowa growled and wrapped some gauze around the blonde's hand.
"Bet I could take ya." Quatre sassed as he tugged at his sweaty socks.
"I believe it." Trowa said emphatically. "But was that really necessary?"
"What?" Quatre asked.
"Beating the crap out of that other player?" Trowa asked, sounding exasperated.
"He cross-checked Sally from behind!" Quatre growled.
"You threw your stick at him!" Trowa countered. "Then you dropped your gloves, jerseyed him and then you both proceeded to pound each other repeatedly in the head!"
"Sounds like a hockey fight to me." Quatre smirked as much as his split lip would allow and waggled his eyebrows at his boyfriend. "Just call me Quatre 'Hextall' [1] Winner"
"A fight that ended in a game ejection. A ten minute major with an eight game league suspension."
Trowa sighed. He was resigned to his fate. He was in love with a hockey player.
[1] Ron Hextall was an NHL goalie and he was very aggressive. To give everyone an idea about who I loosely based Quatre on in this little snippet.
Ron Hextall; Suspended eight games by National Hockey League for slashing (*sigh* not that kind of slashing, Anne), May 1987. {I believe this is the game where he threw his stick at the player. Yes I did steal that from an actual hockey fight.}
Suspended for first twelve games of 1989-90 season by National Hockey League for attacking opposing player (Chris Chelios, Montreal Canadiens) {Not Chelios! *Cries* ^^;;;; sorry.}in final playoff game, May 11, 1989.
