Summary
“Excuse me?” Eddie asked, all pretenses of their original conversation gone.
“I get it, man. We – We all get it. I’m an asshole. Can you stop being such a fucking freak about it?”
As soon as the words left Steve’s mouth, he froze. He imagined everyone did, based off the tense silence that immediately followed.
Dustin breaks it first. “What the hell, Steve?"
Steve dropped his hand to his side and kept his eyes closed, sighing. “That was – yeah, okay, that was really, really mean. I’m s –”
An explosion of pain burst under his left eye as Eddie punched him, the momentum sending him stumbling backwards before he caught himself. He shook his head a bit, trying to hear what everyone was saying again over the ringing now sounding through his head. “Okay,” Steve gritted out, “Alright, yeah, I deserved –”
Before he could finish his sentence, Eddie grabbed him by the shirt collar, getting in his face. Steve did his best to remain calm, though he’s really not a fan of this whole thing anymore, and he’d much rather he never get into another fistfight again.
OR: Steve and Eddie get into a fight, and no one takes Steve's side. This action will have consequences.

Summary
Cal Chojnowski was a pretty chill person. Not a lot of things truly angered him, or even really upset him. You had to be a bit easygoing if you were to play goaltender. But if one thing in the world pissed him off beyond belief, it was Jameson Bennett.
Jameson Bennett was a serious man. Set in his routines, and he wasn't looking to change them anytime soon. And if Jameson Bennett loved routines and things that didn't change, Calvin Chojnowski was going to be the death of him.
