I also enjoyed their time on the ice, too. This trip provides lots of laughs and solidifies that Dex really is clueless. Tripp and Dex vacation in Tahoe with Ezra, Anton, and Oskar. I enjoyed the inclusion of some of the gay NHL players that form The Collective. Suffice it to say, what Tripp and Dex get up to becomes a PR nightmare for them and the hockey team. There’s lots that happen in this plot that I won’t give away. Tripp decides to pretend his feelings don’t exist. He wants Dex badly but he knows he’ll be destroyed if they start something romantic and Dex rejects him or it harms their friendship. Deep down he knows no one will ever match the pedestal he’s put Dex on. But Dex is all about physical affection which is driving Tripp crazy.
His friends say he needs to distance himself from Dex but he’ll do anything to protect Dex and he knows putting space between then will hurt his best friend. On the other side, we have Tripp who’s in a bit of a conundrum. He’s all about having fun without responsibility. Dex’s girlfriend resents his all-consuming friendship with Tripp. Tripp’s been in love with Dex for years but Dex is straight – and in a long-term relationship with a woman Tripp hates – and Dex isn’t self-aware enough to realize he has feelings for Tripp.īoth guys play on the Las Vegas NHL team and spend most of their time together. I’ve been looking forward to this pair since they were introduced in Egotistical Puckboy. They have the ultimate bromance, ride or die, closer than brothers relationship and I love it. Losing Tripp? It’s not an option.īest friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and you really can’t find friends closer than Tripp and Dex in Irresponsible Puckboy. This PR nightmare could lose me the only person I’ve ever loved. Not only does it have team management breathing down my neck, but it puts a strain on my friendship with Tripp. According to ex-girlfriends, that makes me “irresponsible.”īut the solution I come up with to get over my fear of commitment might be my dumbest idea yet. What more do I need? To settle down? No thank you. I have hockey, and I have my best friend, Tripp.
It’s what I’m known for, and usually I don’t let it get to me.
They say Dexter Mitchale is my weakness, but if that’s true, I don’t want to be strong. I can’t leave him in a time of need, even if my friends say it’s my biggest downfall. If there’s one thing I hate more than being hurt, it’s seeing Dex struggle. But when his relationship falls apart and he turns to me for comfort, I cave immediately. Years of pining have left me exhausted, and I need a break from Dex. The worst part of being in love with my straight best friend is the fact he’s too oblivious to see it.
