Irresponsible Puckboy

2,TRIPPThe worst part of being in love with my straight best friend is the fact he's too oblivious to see it.Years of pining have left me exhausted, and I need a break from Dex. I need space to get over my feelings. But when his relationship falls apart and he turns to me for comfort, I cave immediately.If there's one thing I hate more than being hurt, it's seeing Dex struggle. I can't leave him in a time of need, even if my friends say it's my biggest downfall.They say Dexter Mitchale is my weakness, but if that's true, I don't want to be strong.DEXI've always been the dumb one. It's what I'm known for, and usually I don't let it get to me.I have hockey, and I have my best friend, Tripp. What more do I need? To settle down? No thank you. Marriage? Hard pass. According to ex-girlfriends, that makes me irresponsible.But the solution I come up with to get over my fear of commitment might be my dumbest idea yet. Not only does it have team management breathing down my neck, but it puts a strain on my friendship with Tripp.This PR nightmare could lose me the only person I've ever loved. Losing girlfriends is nothing. Losing Tripp? It's not an option.I'll do whatever it takes to keep him.
