Tucker pulled into the parking lot of the stadium, glad to see it only half full. He wasn’t late then; he’d been afraid he might be, having to drive slower than he normally would. Though the snow had stopped, the roads were still pretty slushy. Since Texas drivers rarely had to deal with snow, they were extra cautious, making the drive even slower than it had to be. A part of him wondered if they would even have practice today. Because it rarely rained and almost never snowed, the stadium only had a partial roof which meant the field might still be covered in snow. Even if it wasn’t, it would probably be a soggy mess.

He grabbed his bag, locked his truck, and headed for the locker room. But as he reached the door, the unease pulled at his heart again. The guys had said nothing yesterday, but would they know today? Would Blaine tell them? A part of him didn’t think so. After all, Blaine was the captain, and it was his job to make sure there was unity and harmony on the team. Spreading negative information, even if it was the truth, about a team member certainly wouldn’t do that. But what if Blaine was tired of dealing with him? What if he saw this as a way to remove Tucker from the team? Sharing the information about his community service might create enough tension on the team to get him traded again.

Tucker took a deep breath and tried to clear his head. Blaine wasn’t like that. He’d done nothing but be supportive to Tucker, so there was no reason to think he would change now. Besides, even if Blaine had told the other guys about the incident, Tucker would own up to it. He had been in the bar, and he could have refused to throw a punch. His actions were his alone, and he needed to stop passing the blame to others.

He opened the door, fully expecting the hum of conversation to hush as he entered, but it didn’t. The men who were there gave him a head nod, but no one shot him an accusatory gaze. Tucker threaded his way to his locker and dropped his bag on the bench.

“How did it go at the center last night?” Blaine asked, coming up behind him.

Tucker sighed and glanced around the room. Blaine’s voice was low, but he had been hoping to avoid discussing the center. “It was fine. I aired up some balls and entertained the kids for a while.”

Blaine nodded. “Good. Glad to hear it. Just keep your head down. No more fights, no more bars. Understand?”

Tucker had no desire to step in a bar again, but agitation stirred in his stomach at Blaine’s words. He hated it when Blaine acted like this. He hadn’t had a father figure in years, and he definitely didn’t need Blaine trying to fill the role. “Yeah, I got it, Blaine.”

Blaine stared at him a moment longer before issuing a curt nod.
