lmao imagine someone trying to save bitty from being “bullied” by the samwell men’s hockey team because they saw bitty looking sad while being surrounded by 6′+ guys
at this point bitty is just used to people being weirded out that he’s on the hockey team
OKAY BUT
Dave’s a decent guy. He’s new to Samwell, arrived on an LAX scholarship, and is super pumped to be going to such an LGBTQ-friendly campus. He’s out, proud, and 6 ft 3, so if anyone’s got a problem with him he can show them where to shove it.
The thing about Dave is, he’s a bleeding-hearts kind of guy. So when he sees this small, blonde, extremely attractive guy being harassed by a bunch of dudes Dave’s height, he knows he has to step in. As he approaches the group of boys from across the road, Dave can see the skates the ginger one’s got thrown over his shoulder.
The hockey team, he thinks darkly. He’s heard all about the Samwell Men’s Hockey Team from the LAX bros. A bunch of assholes if ever there was one, apparently. And he can see it now as the blonde guy’s face falls even further, face scrunching up to stop tears as the hockey players crowd him. Suddenly the blonde guy is hidden from view by tall backs, and Dave’s had enough.
“Hey!” he shouts, causing a couple of them to glance around. “Hey, assholes!”
The SMH turn to glare at him in full force, revealing the blonde guy between them. A handsome, dark skinned dude holds an arm in front of the smaller one as if stopping him from escaping.
(In retrospect, Dave probably should have realized he was being protective.)
