Hudson
Mason: Morning, Princess Hudson. How’s the royal wrist today?
Aiden: Should we get you a throne? Or maybe one of those bubble wrap suits?
Hudson: ?? You’re all hilarious.
Dane: Don’t forget fragile. He’s fragile AF.
Mason: He’s like a glass ornament. One wrong move and CRACK.
Aiden: A glass ornament. With sparkles.
Hudson: I hate all of you.
Mason: Nah, you love us.
Dane: Not as much as we love seeing you get wrapped in the bubble wrap of shame by Coach.
Aiden: Bet you’re sidelined for two weeks just because someone looked at you wrong.
Hudson: I’M FINE.
Mason: “I’m fine” is what people say when they’re absolutely not fine.
Dane: You’re not fine, Hudson. And don’t give me that BS. You should’ve told us.
Hudson: Told you what?
Dane: About the injury. About the farm. About whatever stupid thing you were doing that landed you in this mess.
Aiden: You think we wouldn’t have your back? You think we wouldn’t help?
Mason: We’re teammates, dude. That makes us family.
Dane: And family doesn’t let you pull dumb stunts alone.
Hudson: . . .
Mason: What? Nothing to say now?
Hudson: I didn’t want anyone to worry about me.
Dane: That’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever said.
Aiden: Yeah, we’re going to worry regardless. It’s our default setting, considering your string of life choices. ??
Mason: You’re not invincible, Wilde. None of us are.
Hudson: I know. I just didn’t want to let anyone down.
Dane: You let us down by not telling us. We’re a team. You should’ve trusted us.
Hudson: You’re right. I screwed up. I’m sorry.
Mason: You’re sorry? You’re also a massive idiot.
Aiden: Huge. Like Olympic-level idiot.
Hudson: Jesus Christ, do you guys ever stop?
Dane: Nope.
Mason: Never. We’re relentless. Like your bad decisions.
Hudson: I take back my apology. You’re all assholes.
Aiden: Assholes who care about you.
Hudson: Thanks. For real.
Mason: Anytime, Princess.
Hudson: I’m muting this chat.
Dane: Go ahead. You’ll still be hearing us chirp you at practice.
Aiden: Oh, 100%. We’re just getting started.
Hudson: Great. Looking forward to it.
Mason: Love you, glass princess. Stay unbroken.
Hudson Wilde has left the chat.
Dane: He’ll be back. He always comes back.
