Hello, and welcome to the Hockey Hunk!
I've been feeling naughty again, and hence decide to present you with this extra something today - simply because it's fun, right? *chuckle* Well, hope it's up to scratch. It's always fun to do stuff with these characters, and an extra dose ought to be nice! I shall hope your feedback, too, as always, considering that I value it as greatly as ever, and I also remind you humbly that all votes, faves and watches will help others to find these stories to enjoy as well!

This was comfy now, I thought, laptop, no excessive number of pants, TV blasting in the living room to tell that Cobb was occupied, an open beer on the night stand...
All that was needed was a lion. Logging into Facebook was quick enough, and now only to..check...hmmm...yep!
Heheh. There we go. Now for a hello...
Victor Holden says: I see u : )
_ _
Hope that didn't sound creepy...well...I guess it didn't sound creepy. Just a bit cute, I guess. Not that I had to really act too cute, maybe...well maybe...hmm...I rubbed my muzzle. Guess it was enough. Now to hope that he was already on the computer...it was a bit later than our usual time...he probably was there...hmm...come on...
Rory Gliese says: Oh hi!
_ _
My ears perked. My floppy one was making a good effort, too. That required a celebratory sip of beer, too. I wondered if Cobb had already one through one or two as I took my first chug and "aaaahhhh"'ed afterwards.
Victor Holden says: Hi! How're you doing?
_ _
Wonder how he was today...apparently yesterday had been extra mad at work with some drama with a co-worker...his boss, wasn't it? Hmm. Had to keep more careful track of these things. I'd been a bit busy flirting with him, really, to give too much attention to the small details.
Rory Gliese says: Its been a bit hectic but can relax now at least!
_ _
Hmmm...wonder what that meant...
Victor Holden says: Anything special happened?
_ _
Well, you never knew. He'd been having a bit of an argument with his friend Peter earlier...some emotional turmoil Rory called it...didn't want to be a nuisance...or something like that. We hadn't talked about everything in regards to that yet. I'd learned little bits from Rory, and put two and two together about some of the things Peter himself had said during out brief meetings before. He seemed a bit fragile as he was. Lost his mate and all. I hadn't heard all of that story yet, either.
Rory Gliese says: A bit strange at work with Marge crawling the walls
_ _
Hmm...so boss trouble then...more beer it was, then! Hope he had some...though I wasn't sure how much Rory liked beer to begin with...Cobb was destroying my supply at alarming speeds.
Victor Holden says: Oh?
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Yeah, pissed off at her mother and to her boyfriend too I guess
_ _
Victor Holden says: Not all well in the so-called nuclear family eh?
_ _
Straight furs. They could act so much like total queens sometimes over nothing at all.
Rory Gliese says: Her mother's staying over and her boyfriend was supposed to stop smoking but she caught him smoking so yeah
_ _
"VICTOR OH MY GOODNESS VICTOR WOW!"
What was I just thinking...
"WHAT IS IT COBB?" I questioned in a appropriate tone.
"YOUR FAVORITE ACTOR'S ON THE PACIFIC, IT'S THAT GUY WHO WAS ON ALL THE SHOWS YOU LIKE WHAT'S HIS NAME UHHH..."
Well...
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHICH ONE YOU MEAN?"
Victor Holden says: Oops!
"COME AND TAKE A LOOK THEN HE'S GONNA DISAPPEAR SOON IF YOU DON'T!"
Harrumph.
"NO THANKS, I'M QUITE COMFORTABLE HERE!"
"BUT VICTOR YOU GOTTA HELP ME I CAN'T REMEMBER THE ACTOR'S NAME I KNOW HIS FACE BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME!"
Ahhmmm...uhmmm...
Rory Gliese says: So she let us all hear about it by being mean all day
_ _
Oh well...
"WELL WHO IS HE PLAYING?"
Victor Holden says: Sorry to hear that did it wear you out? : (
_ _
"THIS KIND OF A TOUCH SHIT ARMY DUDE!"
I barked.
"IT'S THE PACIFIC ISN'T THAT THE POINT COBB?"
"BUT IT'S THAT ONE PARTICULAR ACTOR YOU LIKE THE ONE WHO ALWAYS PLAYS A SHERIFF OR A SOLDIER OR AN AGENT OR SOMETHING!"
"SO WHAT IS HE CALLED IN THE SHOW?"
Rory Gliese says: Well I'm a bit tired but I hope to get a nice good sleep and hope Marge has calmed down by tomorrow
_ _
Victor Holden says: Sounds like a good idea! Don't let me keep you up!
_ _
"UHM COLONEL-SOMETHING!"
Hmm. I clicked open a new tab, went to Google and looked up the cast list of The Pacific. A few clicks later I felt confident enough to bark it out again.
"YOU MEAN WILLIAM SADLER COBB?" I yelled as I clicked myself back to the Facebook tab.
Rory Gliese says: Heh I hope it will be good but I'm not going now of course need to relax first!
_ _
Well I liked the sound of that
"OH YEAH I SAW THAT NAME ON THE TITLES YEAH THAT'S IT THANKS BROTHER!"
"NO PROBLEM!"
"YOU WANT ANY MORE BEER VICTOR?"
"I'M FINE!"
Victor Holden says: Well of course! Can't let you slip away just yet!
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Heheh
_ _
Victor Holden says: So was today all crap at work or was it okay otherwise? Everything good with your friend?
_ _
Beer. Hmmm. Cold and nice, even if I'd told Cobb not to buy that extra nifty portable single bottle cooler he was talking about the other day. Couldn't let him have all the toys he wanted...or try to buy them to me, that was.
Rory Gliese says: It wasn't too bad if you steered away from Marge : ) Peter's fine I guess. He's watching that show Downton Abbey and seems to be enjoying himself
_ _
Victor Holden says: I think I heard that mentioned somewhere but I don't really know what's the fuss
_ _
Rory Gliese says: It's a kind of a British costume drama
_ _
Victor Holden says: _ Heh, that your style of program?_
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Peter seems to enjoy it and I'm sure he'll try to make me watch it. He says it's cool
_ _
Victor Holden says: Wonder if Cobb would like it...
_ _
Better not mention it to him yet...he might appear tomorrow evening with a box set or something...
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Dunno about that though, might have too few explosions?
_ _
Victor Holden says: Dang!
_ _
Hahah. This called for beer. Ssssslurp.
Rory Gliese says: Yeah heh
_ _
_ Victor Holden says:_ He's watching The Pacific even now. Can hear machine guns going off in the living room
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Sounds like typical Cobb
_ _
Victor Holden says: Yeah that's right!
_ _
Rory Gliese says : You don't want to watch?
_ _
Victor Holden says: Didn't want to miss my hot date! : )
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Heheh
_ _
Hmmm...coy lion...
Victor Holden says: Of course would rather cuddle u than the computer but can't be helped yet I suppose
_ _
Well...yeah...he living there with Peter and me living with Cobb for now sure was putting a bit of a hamper on that kind of things...but I knew that he was moving back to his own place soon...which ought to make things different. Nice, I thought. I scratched my chest and waited for the reply while shrapnel blasts entertained me from within the living room.
Rory Gliese says: Wouldn't mind a cuddle myself
_ _
Well that was cute...big smile for a Dobie for that!
Victor Holden says: *sends you one*
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Wow cyber-cuddle!
_ _
Victor Holden says: Why not eh? Gotta have something...
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Thanks!
_ _
Victor Holden says: I'll give u a real one whenever u like : )
_ _
Would be about time...this sneaking around was starting to feel a weird, with our respective chaperones making spending time together a bit of a planned exercise. A guy can like things spontaneous!
Rory Gliese says: Well I'm moving on Saturday I guess...
_ _
Hmm...that might work...hmm...
Victor Holden says: I'd lend you a paw but still no car damnit
_ _
Rory Gliese says: It's fine though, only a few bags after all, I can fit them all in a single cab
Rory Gliese says: Should be nice and easy
_ _
And maybe he'd feel like...
Victor Holden says: Well that sounds okay then! Could still come around to help if u like!
_ _
Hope this wasn't sounding too pushy...
Rory Gliese says: Well I'd be glad but it really isn't so much...
_ _
Damn...had to ramp these things up!
Victor Holden says: At least invite me over for a housewarming party? : )
_ _
There. Smiley and all.
_Rory Gliese says: _ Heheh
_ _
Victor Holden says: Well someone has to help you unpack!
_ _
And maybe undress...hmm...but what if Peter was coming over to help him out...that might...well...had to wait what Rory had to say.
Rory Gliese says: That's a tempting offer
_ _
Hmm...damn...wonder if that was an indecisive lion or a coy lion...hard to tell when it was just typing...maybe call him? Though Cobb might try to eavesdrop, and having him hear the kind of things I might say just wouldn't do.
Victor Holden says: I could bring a snack or two! And maybe leftovers from Friday, because knowing Cobb he's cooking too much again
_ _
Friday...the big night in. Old Tate Michaels coming over for that long-overdue visit I had promised, for him, me and Cobb to catch up. It'd been gone for weeks now, the back and forth over trying to decide a suitable date. I was glad we'd managed to clear something up. He seemed to be really busy nowadays...well, so was I, too, of course, but at least we got that night for free. Just a simple evening. We weren't going to be sitting through the night drinking, no matter if Cobb might try to turn the night into a kegger. Just some food, lots of chatting, and hoping that Cobb didn't make too big of an ass about himself. I felt kind of nervous, though...so many years had passed, and it all seemed so far away and yet...thinking about all that...the swaggering kid fox...belching out obscenities...pointing and laughing...generally being a nuisance...
I tensed thinking about it. I knew I shouldn't. He sounded different on the messages. He'd talked openly about how sorry he was and how he didn't like thinking about that. I doubted having a nice evening in would include tearing open old wounds over some silly high school sports rivalry. He seemed level-headed enough on those messages. But I couldn't see his face or hear his voice when he wrote those words...words weren't that easy without a face. I felt that same thing even now, of course, trying to see if Rory would be up to for an extra relaxing afternoon. I could definitely use it.
Rory Gliese says: Would that involve bringing over Cobb too?
_ _
Hmmm...that could be a danger...
Victor Holden says: I'll tell him that it's a private visit
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Bet he'll think of all sorts of things about it if you say that and then tease you about it
_ _
Harrumph. Guess I would have to live with that.
Victor Holden says: Screw it. I'll tease him about his weight if he tries to tease me about you!
_ _
Rory Gliese says: He has weight issues?
_ _
Victor Holden says: I could arrange some : )
_ _
Rory Gliese says: You wouldn't!
_ _
Victor Holden says: Anything to spend some quiet time together!
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Well it'd beat Frasier...
_ _
Victor Holden says: I'll show you my brand of canned laughter!
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Can't help but think it sounds like Cobb for some reason
_ _
Victor Holden says: *pout*
_ _
Rory Gliese says: Heheh
_ _
Victor Holden says: That's a date then?
_ _
Rory Gliese says: It'd be nice, sure!
_ _
Well this called for a beer toast!
