he was the rookie player of the year for all of college hockey— and honestly one of the best players in your school’s history.
to you? he was a major asshole. he was over arrogant (even if he had a reason to be), unapologetically said anything, and was a total womanizer.
most guys how came into your father’s hockey program were 21-23 year olds who would never be caught dead looking at you.
but knox? yeah, he was stupid 19 year old who immediately tried to hit on you. first practice.
your father clearly didn’t like him after that, but he was too good of a player to get rid of.
and that’s where your little rivalry started. he would hit on your friends, make stupid comments, pretty much just be a dick anytime he could, which clearly wasn’t hard for him.
you, on the other hand, were obnoxiously loud when he missed a shot or even when he did good you would pick him apart.
and you knew that was the one thing he hated. knox davenport came from family lines of hockey greats and he was had always known he had talent for hockey, so he had never been badly criticized a day in his life. until you of course. and it messed with him.
it’s the frozen four and it’s the best game of the year. knox, of course, is doing great.
however, even though your in the middle of the student section with everyone from your school, anytime he missed a shot or made a bad pass you would cheer.
on one shot you screamed, “nice aim!”
and clearly he heard you, because he looked up in the stands directly at you with his jaw clenched and his eyes darkened.
he ended up making three fucking goals after that— and winning it. so much for that.
you were sitting on a bench outside of the locker room waiting on your dad, when you see someone storm out with their hockey gear.
you look up just to see knox with a pissed expression on his face.
his brown hair was still messy from the game, but he changed into a team sweatshirt and some sweatpants, with his hockey gear bag on his shoulder.
he walks over to you, narrowing his brown eyes at you, “you think you’re so fucking funny, huh?”
