2minsforslashingAUTHOR: Jennie
CHARACTERS: Jason Strudwick and Henrik Lundquist of the New York Rangers,
SUMMARY: Jason doesn’t know why he hates Henrik.
RATING: G :)
DISCLAIMER: I’m a Devils fan, so if you catch the not-so-nice connotation to the Rangers, that’s why. I’ll work on that for next time. This is my first hockey fic, so it’s not too much about hockey. And, as much as I wish I did, I do not own either of these boys. Or anything else mentioned in the fic.
A/N: Let me know what you think about it! Happy reading!
Jason didn’t know why he hated him.
Jason was fair. Jason had met a lot of people, and had traveled the world. Jason was well educated, and belonged to numerous book clubs. Jason was a well-liked guy and liked people, as well. Jason had been around long enough to know that life is too short, and ‘every 60 seconds you spend upset is another minute of happiness you can’t get back.’ Jason didn’t get jealous.
That was until Jason met him.
From what Jason knew of him, he was a 20 something year old. He was a top goalie in some Swedish league, and he was here to save the Rangers. He would come in and sweep the Rangers off of their stuck-in-quick sand-unable-to-get-into-the-playoffs feet. He would save the Rangers.
Jason knew he wasn’t brought in to save the Rangers. Jason was here to provide veteran defense for a struggling team. He was here to help the youngins, and to provide a solid backbone for the team. Jason wasn’t going to save the team; he was going to help rebuild it.
Jason told himself he wasn’t jealous of the 20 something year old. Jason knew he didn’t get jealous. Jason had never been jealous of anyone. Yet, every time he saw the 20 something year old, something snapped inside of Jason that made him want to throw dirty looks at the 20 something year old and ignore him completely. Jason wanted to act like a 5 year old throwing a temper tantrum when he got so much as a glimpse of the 20 something year old.
It was taking the bus to the Meadowlands that Jason finally suppressed the 5 year old inside of him. Jason had found a seat next to a window and pulled out Angels and Demons, a favorite book of his. He viewed this as the perfect way to relax before a game: reading a good book in a comfortable seat by himself. Halfway through the first page, Jason looked up and noticed that the 20 something year old was standing next to the seat beside Jason, looking at him almost expectantly. If he thought that Jason would oblige to his demands like the rest of the team, just because he was their goalie and he was “amazing,” that didn’t mean that Jason had to. He shrugged a little and moved to sit down, so Jason rolled his eyes, moved closer to the window, and returned to his book.
For some reason, the Illuminati didn’t seem to hold as much excitement as they did before he was interrupted, so Jason took to secretly spying on the 20 something year old, and was shocked to see him pull out Catcher in the Rye. Jason told his inner voice that he didn’t like the book as much as he claimed he did in book club meetings, and that the book was for high school students looking to find someone who thinks that their sexual escapades are alright. Yet, Jason remembered the feeling he got when he first read the book, and couldn’t help but sigh. He finally looked up from his book and blushed.
“This is supposed to help my English, but it’s not doing a good job.” Jason tried to choke the laugh that bubbled in his throat, and forced himself to remember that this was the 20 something year old who he spent most of his time loathing. “Well, that’s probably not the best book to be reading if you want to learn English." Jason reached into his bag and, before he could stop himself, gave the 20 something year old the copy of Grapes of Wrath that he’d treasured as a child. “If you’re serious about learning English, read this.”
For a moment, Jason saw what his teammates saw in the 20 something year old. Jason was in awe by his boyish looks, and the way he smiled, as if he wasn’t the 20 something year old who was pulling the team from quicksand with each save of his glove. Jason, for just a moment, felt as though he could be with this 20 something year old for the rest of his life.
Just for a moment.
Then, Jason remembered that he was a 20 something year old who had too much life to live, and too much to learn. Jason remembered that he hated him.

Will there be any more?? ::wags tail expectantly::

Yes, I saw Henrik on Thursday ^_^. But I'm seeing him live tomorrow night at his Garden homecoming. I'm like painfully excited.
And I'm going to see the Penguins play the Islanders on Long Island at the end of the month, and intend to wear my Crosby shirt or my Rangers jersey. So I hope I don't die @_@.
