in which I vent
so, I have a monthly T pass, because I commute every day, right? and I buy them online, and this was the first month that I tried the automated version, where they just bill your credit card and upload a new pass automatically. So on the 20th, I got an email reminding me they were going to bill me, which I thought was very thoughtful of them, and on the 26th, when I tapped through the gate, I saw the message that my pass had been updated, and I thought all was well.
Scene: This morning (ie, the first of November). I'm running a little bit late, and the T station is full of people buying passes. I fell very smug about having already taken care of that! But when I tap my card, I get the angry buzzing noise and the "not enough funds!" message. I say, "WHAT THE SHIT". Except, 8am, so it's more like, "blergh what the shit". So I have to put a few bucks on my card so I can, you know, get to work. It's not a big deal, except my tolerance for dealing with basically anything at 8am on a Monday morning is basically non-existent.
I checked at work, and the online system thinks I have a November pass (and thus wouldn't sell me one even if I was willing to buy another), and my credit card's been billed.
On my way home, I checked my card on the fare vending machine, and there are two lines of passes listed. One, from September 1 to October 31, and one for October 1 to October 31. So it looks like they sold me a second October pass. On October 26th. The guy manning the vending machines looked at them and asked, "why do you have two October passes?" to which I could only say "I have no clue." So I went to the ticket window.....where they told me since I bought it online, they couldn't help me, and I had to call.
So I called, and I spent 20 minutes talking to two different people (or on hold) who could only come up with "huh. That's really weird." (but promised to get their supervisor to manually push a pass tomorrow, and hopefully I will have it before it's time to go home.) (on the bright side, they did also tell me they'll reimburse me for any fares I have to pay while they try to get the pass to work.
BLARHG. tell me something cheerful?

1. Huddling for warmth (obvs)
2. Shirtless wrestling with Tazer
3. He and Tazer are flipping channels in their hotel room and there's nothing on and Tazer ends up stopping at porn and mocking how unrealistic it is and Kaner has had LOTS OF SEX, okay, he's not some virgin, and he knows it's unrealistic, but it's also people fucking and they're kind of hot and he's kind of into it and gets hard and is really flustered and obvious about it and Tazer mocks him mercilessly about it but somehow it ends up with Tazer talking dirty to Kaner while Kaner jerks off.
4. Sharing a cab with Tazer and some girl Tazer is hooking up with, because they left the club they were at really late and there was no way Kaner was going to be able to flag down a cab by himself, but a hot girl could, and Kaner and Tazer live in the same neighborhood, anyway, so it's not like it's any trouble. And they're all pretty drunk and Tazer has his arm around the girl's waist and his hand is creeping down the waistband of her skirt and his hand looks huge against her waist and he's kind of smirking, his head tipped back against the seat and his eyes half-closed, and Kaner was kind of horny anyway, and he totally can't help getting hard. And the worst part is that Tazer totally knows.
5. Sharpie plays a prank on Kane and Toews that ends with ice water being dumped all over one of their hotel beds, and the hotel is booked completely and they can't get another room, and it's too late to try to go to another hotel, so they just suck it up and share a bed so neither of them will have to sleep on the floor and risk waking up sore for the game the next day. And then Kaner wakes up with an awkward boner, obviously.
6. Tazer wakes up in the middle of the night in their hotel room and jerks off, and he's really quiet about it, but Kaner still wakes up, too, and hears him and gets an awkward boner.
7. After they win the Cup and Kaner's all hopped up on adrenaline and drunk and exhausted and horny and wants to fuck someone so bad, but there's no one around him but his teammates, and then all the guys start disappearing with their wives and girlfriends and it's just him and Tazer in the locker room for a second and Tazer's wearing nothing but his boxer briefs and is all wet from his shower and is gripping Kaner's arm really tight and really intensely telling him what a good game he played.
8. Honestly, literally every scenario.

And he would try to mock Kaner for getting off so hard on someone watching him jerk off, because seriously, Tazer KNEW he had a thing for that, because even Kaner isn't dumb enough to get caught fucking girls in the SAME bar bathroom three times without it being kind of on purpose. And then at some point he would just drop all pretense of mocking Kaner and it would be just him saying the dirtiest fucking shit to Kaner, trying to get Kaner to react.

The thing is, Tazer wasn't expecting to be into it. He was just winding Kaner up, like they always do to each other, and if that meant teasing Kaner about being into people watching, he had no problem going there. But even after the jerking off started, Kaner was still all tense and awkward, like he was still trying to hide something, and Tazer realizes that it's not just the porn and the watching, but that Kaner's into this specifically, whatever 'this' is, and, well. Tazer's into that too.

What about the time where Tazer might have a concussion (medic said no but Kaner is still very concerned. He doesn't want Jonny to miss any games!) so he keeps waking him up all night and eventually climbs in next to him (Kaner knows about concussions, okay, it is VERY IMPORTANT that the person be kept warm and comfortable and also awake). Only then he's laying there and Tazer's all warm and half asleep and shit, and he has to lean over and wake him up gently so he doesn't make the concussion worse aaaaaand BONER.
