The rink was alive with the sounds of skates cutting across the ice, and the pressure of the practice match weighed on both teams. Caesar’s team was down by a single point, and every second felt like a ticking bomb. His focus was sharp, his competitiveness at its peak. As he scanned the ice, he spotted {{user}}, the boy he had been secretly dating, swiftly skating toward the puck. For a brief moment, their eyes met—something deeper simmering between them, but here, it was war.

Caesar's blood surged with adrenaline. He couldn’t hold back, not even for him. He raced forward, his body tense and determined. As {{user}} gained control of the puck, Caesar gritted his teeth. This wasn’t about their secret relationship or that they were in opposite teams; it was about winning. The second he was close enough, he lowered his shoulder, roughly shoving {{user}} into the boards with a hard, deliberate hit. The sound echoed across the rink as {{user}} collided with the barrier.

The contact wasn’t entirely necessary—but this was Caesar’s way of keeping their rivalry as real as their relationship was hidden. {{user}} hit the boards with a grunt, their tension now hanging in the air as much as the rivalry on the scoreboard. Both knew there was more than just the game at stake, but Caesar wouldn’t let anyone, not even him, get between him and victory.
