New Sensation [fic]

[kelles.livejournal.com]

Title: New Sensations
Chapter: 1/?  Am I really writing a mutlichapter fic?
Characters: Mike Richards/Danny Briere, Danny Briere/Marty Biron, hint of Mike Richards/Jeff Carter and if you want to see it Mike Richards/Joffrey Lupul (but not really)
Summary: The bus ride back to the Flyers Skate Center in New Jersey after the loss to Pittsburgh in the playoffs is a long and painful one and Mike finds himself drawn to Danny and Marty.
Rating: PG-13/teen for now but will go up in the next chapter for sure
Warnings: Angst.
Disclaimers: Not true - never happened though I can dream can't I?
Author's note:  More Flyers slash. I hope no one minds. I know they're not the most popular team but I'm from the Philly area and love them.  This came from my angst after watching the Flyers get pounded by the Penguins yesterday. Seeing Mike so sad at the  post-game news conference made me want to cry.  I started writing this with the intention of writing Mike/Danny (with a side of Danny/Marty) but it seems to be headed towards a threesome. WTF?

 

The bus trip back to New Jersey was horrible and Mike wanted it to be over as soon as it began.  No one was talking and the air was filled pain and disappointment. Worst than that, it seemed like he would be stuck on the bus forever. Mike took turns looking out the window at the dark, dismal highway and glancing at his watch. God, he thought, why are we not back in Jersey yet? Still, it wasn’t as if he was really looking forward to being back home. There would only be more reporters asking the same stupid questions that he would have to answer, oh so politely,  because that is what was expected of him.  He was the Captain-in-Waiting wasn't he? All Mike really wanted to do is to tell them to shut the fuck up. How did they think it felt to get pounded by Pittsburgh today? Tomorrow  they would  be cleaning out of their lockers and it pained Mike to even think about it. He wondered how many of his teammates would be returning next season? Certainly not Jason or Vinnie. Hell, Jeff and RJ might not even be on the team next year. Out all the people who might leave, he hated the idea that Jeff might not be here the most. They had been playing together since they won the IIHF Junior Championship and the thought of him not being on the team next year was just too painful to consider. They had shared so many good and bad times throughout the years. Winning the the Junior Championship in 2005; the Caldor Cup in 2006; surviving the season from hell last year; and winning and losing in the playoffs this year. Although they didn't make it to the finals, there were more good times this year than bad.

"Fuck," he muttered to himself, just to hear something. The silence on the bus was almost deafening. He wished someone, anyone, would say something. Any noise was better than the silence. Mike almost wished Marty would ramble on about something, anything, like he usually did on the road trips. But, that wasn’t going to happen tonight. Richie glanced over at the goalie. Even in the dark, Mike could see that Marty was devastated. It was so evident in his body language. The goalies shoulders were slumped and his eyes closed. As bad as he felt, Richie was sure tonight was harder on Marty. But, at least he has Danny. Mike watched the two of them for several moments. He tried in vain to look away from the two of them. Danny was whispering something obviously very private to the goalie. Whatever he said made Marty smile. Danny put his arm around the goalie and was rubbing his shoulder. Mike knew he should look away, watching them in such a private moment was just wrong, a violation. But, he couldn’t. Right now, Mike felt drawn to the moment they were have and felt compelled to watch.

Part of him envied whatever it was they had. Sure, he had a long list of girls, women, puckbunnies, and hell even guys that would kill to share his bed. But, it wasn’t the same as having someone who really cared about you, someone who knew exactly you were going through and could share the pain. What the fuck am I thinking? He asked himself, but he still couldn’t turn away. There was something else too. Watching them was almost turning him on. He wasn’t really aroused, at least not yet. He could feel the stirring of need starting to grow. If this is what losing the playoffs does, we better win the Cup next year.

Danny must have felt Mike's eyes on him. He looked up at his teammate and met his eyes . Danny didn’t change his position or move away from Marty but challenged Mike with his eyes. Richie liked that. The two men stared at each other for several moments, their eyes were locked in a smoldering gaze. It almost seemed like Danny was sending him an invitation or maybe it was a challenge.

“Danny? You okay?” Marty asked, his voice practically a whisper. The goalie opened his eyes and looked at his friend.

Danny finally looked away from Mike and nodded at Marty. “Yeah, I'm fine.”

Mike continued to stare at the two men. Damn, why couldn’t he look away? He knew he should stop staring before one of the other guys noticed but after everything that happened today he really didn’t care. If anyone asked him, he would probably throw a punch at him, no matter who it was. Richie really wasn’t in the mood for any questions.

“Richie, you okay?” Joffrey asked, watching Mike from the seat next to him.

Mike was finally forced to look away from Danny. “Yeah, just thinking.”

“You sure?”

Mike glared at his friend. “Yeah, I’m sure.” Mike was relieved that Joffrey had let it go. He really wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone tonight and didn’t want to fight Joffrey of all people. Damn, why is he watching me now? He could feel Danny’s eyes on him and it was bugging the hell out of him.

Richie finally turned his head and met Danny’s gaze again, both men challenging each other with their eyes. He wasn’t sure what kind of game Danny was playing now but he certainly wasn’t going to be the one to back down.
Mike watched Marty whisper something to Danny. His face broke into a huge grin and was that Marty’s hand on Danny's knee? What was it about those two? Fuck, it was happening again.

Again, he couldn’t look away.

Again, Danny with that fucking look.

Again with that just barely there feeling of need.

And that feeling? What the fuck was that about? The look, was it an invitation or a challenge? I don’t even want to know, he told himself but even as he thought it, Mike knew it was a lie.

The bus suddenly screeched to a halt, interrupting Mike's thoughts. They were at the Skate Zone and this strange nightmare of a day was almost over. “Finally,” he said to no one in particular.

Nice writing, but oh so sad. :(

[kelles.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The next chapter won't be quite so sad though.

[redwingprincess.livejournal.com]

Ooh yes more! We need more Flyers ficcage.

And.. I personally would LOVE some Lupes/Richie.

[kelles.livejournal.com]

There will be more, much more... I have so many plot bunnies I don't know what to write first. *laughs evilly*

I've been wanting to write Lupes/Richie since I found out Richie spends the night at Lupes' house when they're in Philly.

And I'm so pulling for the Redwings winning the cup.

[slasher48.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe. No one can resist the power of the almighty French-Canadian ex-Sabres. Marty and Danny are too damned sexy to resist.

Resistance is futile, Mike, love. *pats*

I'm liking this. Gimme more. *pokes*

[kelles.livejournal.com]

The French-Canadian sexiness is too much for even Richie to resist.

Glad you like it. I'm working on it and should post tomorrow. Just need to edit a little more.

[slasher48.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Exactly. If I were Richie, though, I'd be rejoicing that they're even *trying* to get him on their side. ;)

Good! I can't wait! :D

[amyvand25.livejournal.com]

Um...Daniel's name is spelled Briere; and Joffrey's last name is Lupul. Research, or at least a simple team roster, is your friend.

[kelles.livejournal.com]

Damn. thanks for catching that. I swear I do know Danny's last name but don't why I misspelled it. Same thing for Joffrey even though I seem to mispell his name way too more. *head/desk* I'll fix it now. Can't believe I did that.

[korichan-212.livejournal.com]

I love these boys~ Especially Danny and Marty ♥

So sad though. I was soooo sad when they lost! (And I'm a Caps fan...) :(

Still, I am looking forward to more! :3

[kelles.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I love almost everyone on the team. I really like the Caps too and was sad that we had to play them in the first round. I really wanted to root for them at least for one round and couldn't. :( They're my 2nd favorite team and Ovie is amazing. I'm planning on writing a Richie/Ovie smutty one-shot too.

[korichan-212.livejournal.com]

Mmm, smutty one-shots.

Ah, the Flyers are kindof like my 3rd fav. (I like the Rangers second, but really just because I'm part New Yorker.) But I can't tell anyone about my love for the Flyers! It's like, aaaah! Rivalry!

So next season, I'll be saying "Let's go Caps!" but I will telepathically be sending "I love you Marty~" lol.

[kelles.livejournal.com]

That's funny you like the Rangers and secretly the Flyers since they're supposed to be hated rivals.

I'll be routing for the Caps unless they're playing the Flyers of course.

[korichan-212.livejournal.com]

I'm going to root for the Flyers when they're not playing the Caps, and with the Rangers...I just like going to the Garden. It's pretty. And I don't know why, but I just think their home uniforms are beautiful.

[dum-spiro19.livejournal.com]

That was really good! And I'm definitely not a Flyers fan ;) This is my favorite part...

"Fuck," he muttered to himself, just to hear something. The silence on the bus was almost deafening. He wished someone, anyone, would say something. Any noise was better than the silence.

I'm always drawn to the angst and sadness fics for some reason. Again nice job!

[kelles.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I consider it a huge compliment coming from a Pens fan.

[buffalorinkrat.livejournal.com]

awwww yay! there's more flyers stuff! lol I'm actually a die hard buffalo fan, but danny was my all time favorite player and still is hehe, shhhh I LOVE HIM SOOOO lol keep going, this is great and sad :( I was rooting for them.

[kelles.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'm still working on it and should be posting the next chapter soon. The next chapter isn't quite as sad and the smut begins.

I love Danny too. I'm not sure if he's my favorite player. Think he's a very close second to Richie.

[need2keep2myslf.livejournal.com]

there need 2 b more flyers fix! im from philly & i luv my team. we're really not the most popular team but i kinda like that; i like underdogs. i went 2 skool in erie amongst many penguins fans; i rep my team & was ready 2 fight all the time LOL

but anyways cool fic by the way. cant wait 4 more. i would luv 2 c more mike & jeff :)

[kelles.livejournal.com]

Nice to hear from a fellow Flyers fan. I think it's great they went so far with everyone against them (the refs, NHL). I'm hopeful for next year though. I hope most of the guys will be back (Carter, Umberger, Jones). They need to keep them together.

I <3 Mike and Jeff and will probably write something with just them in the near future.

[me2bme.livejournal.com]

Uh yeah.. getting on the comment bandwagon a little late here, but who cares. Flyers fic = awesome. I think you are my new favorite person. Carts and Richie are love and so made for each other. I can't wait to see what else you decide to throw out for us!

[kelles.livejournal.com]

Wow. Thanks so much for reading/commenting. I'm so happy you like this fic. I'm having so much fun writing it. Carts and Richie are ♥.

The main reason I started writing was when I joined there was hardly any Flyers fic and it made me sad. There are so many hot, slashable Flyers. So I have made it my mission to write it.

[me2bme.livejournal.com]

I agree--the lack of Flyers fic around here was depressing. I'm so glad you came along and started correcting the problem!

Nice icon, btw! Sex on ice for sure.
