Yooooooo so im sticking with the 3rd person for this chapter too since people who commented are legit gods for sayin they like it. but anywayssssssssssssssssss as always there are lots of feelings and i guess tazers neglecting kaner so im tagging that now just in case and yep okay ill stop now 

Kaner felt like he was walking into a trap as he walked up to Sharpy's door. It was unlocked and they knew that he was coming so he let himself in. Turning left into the living room where Sharpy most likely was, but when he rounded the corne, he saw Tazer sitting on the couch and no Maddie in sight. Come to think of it, niether was Sharpy or Abby. Tazer was looking at his phone with his elbows on his knees, Kaner turned quickly around to escape but Sharpy stood in his path, "Go talk to him." 

"Fuck no, let me through Patrick." Sharpy reeled back, Kaner never said his first name. EVER, "I knew this was a fucking trap," Kaner mumbled as he stifly walked past him. 

When Kaner was almost at the door, Sharpy grabbed him, "Kaner-" He roughly tugged his arm out of Sharpy's hands, "Pat!" Sharpy almost screamed. Kaner froze, "Pat, please. I know you don't wanna talk to him, but please if you don't want to do it for yourself, do it for the team." Like Tazer, Sharpy knew how much Kaner loved his team. The look in Kaner's eyes was pure hatred, the look he gives asshole opponents. It was there and gone so quickly Sharpy wouldn't have seen it if he hadn't been looking at Kaner at that exact second. He grabbed his bicep out of Sharpy's grip with too much force and stalked by him back into the living room. 

Sharpy followed quietly behind him and heard Kaner say, "Let's talk you fucker." Spitting out the words.

Tazer jerked his head up staring at his teammate, "Okay," Tazer walked out to the porch, Kaner followed and closed the door behind them.

~~~~

"Sharpy wants us to talk," Kaner said looking at the pool. 

"I know." Tazer was looking at his hands, that were resting on the railing. 

Tense silence hung between them, "Look whatever this is about. Whatever I did, or what happend with Lani, or my friendship with Lani. I'm sorry. Toews, I'm sorry." Kaner broke, and looked down at his hands. Tazer glanced at Kaner out of the corner of his eye. He wanted to hug his friend, not his teammate, not his liney, he wants to hug the guy who has been there for him through everything, the guy who deals with his shit on road trips. He wants to hug him. Not this one who is standing in front of him, but can't make eye contact with someone who he's known for a fourth of his life.

"Kaner, punch me." 

He looked up horrified, "W-What?" 

"I said punch me. I know you want to. I know you want to the anger out and to take it our on me. So punch me." Tazer stands up to his full height and keeps eye contact with Kaner. 

"I. Am. Not. Punching. You." Kaner growled, biting at the words. 

"Do. It." Tazer watched as Kaner's eyes filled with hatred, anger, sadness, and more that he couldn't read. Kaner turned his back on him, when Tazer reached out to grab his arm, Kaner swung around and punched him right in the eye. Tazer reeled back at the power behind it, but Kaner kept going. He hit him in the arms, the gut, once more on the mouth, and then kept hitting his gut over and over. Taxer grabbed him and wrapped him into a hug. Kaner fought, he pushed and grabbed and then he just stopped, sagged against Tazer. He looked down at him to see his face covered in wet streaks. Tazer hugged him tighter and finally, Kaner hugged back. 

They pulled apart when Maddie knocked on the glass door and yelled, "Daddy wants you to come back inside!" They both walked inside and sat down to play with Maddie's blocks. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It started that one night on Thanksgiving break, ya know," Kaner nodded, "I just fell apart. I had no logical reason to but I did anyway. Drinking and not sleeping. Maybe it was because I saw how hurt she looked or how you looked at me. I don't know why at all, everyone saw me fall apart. Fans, the team-the team that I'm supposed to be leading, management. But no one mentioned anything 'cause I'm the captain. I know I hurt you, I know I hurt Sharpy, and everyone. And I promise you, I promise you that I'm done. I'm done with everything. I won't drink or anything I promise on hockey." They both knew that, that wasn't it but they both went with it. 

Tazer looked up to see Kaner watching him almost smiling, "Fucking Sharpy." Tazer laughed. It felt good to laugh with Kaner again, "So, friends?" He asked wearily. 

Tazer smiled at him, "Of course Kaner."

Kaner's smiled widened, "God I missed you," he gently said, handing Maddie blocks. 

"I missed you too, Pat."
