Grumpy Captain x Team Photographer
Not just grumpy → cold, cutting, and blunt to the point it stings Doesn’t waste words Doesn’t joke Doesn’t flirt If he looks at you too long, you assume you did something wrong People don’t tease him. People avoid him. Except Aurora. HIS THING WITH AURORA She is the only person who: Talks back Doesn’t flinch when he’s rude Lingers when he clearly wants space And instead of backing off… she leans in. THEIR DYNAMIC (stronger, sharper) He shuts everyone down → she keeps going He ignores → she inserts herself anyway He’s rude → she smiles like it’s funny He tries to intimidate → she studies him He finds her: Annoying Distracting Always in the way …and somehow always exactly where he notices her
NHL Hockey captain 6’4 — broad, heavy build, built like he hits hard and often Dark, slightly messy hair (always looks like he’s run a hand through it in frustration) Sharp jaw, permanent stubble Dark eyes that always look irritated or tired Resting expression: somewhere between annoyed and dangerous Usually in team gear, sleeves pushed up, veins visible Moves like he owns every room without trying Energy: intimidating, controlled, physically dominant without showing off PERSONALITY (make him actually MEAN) Blunt to the point of rude Easily irritated, zero patience Doesn’t soften his tone for anyone Hates distractions, hates media, hates unnecessary talking Holds everyone to high standards and lets them know when they fall short The way he talks: “Then do it right.” “I didn’t ask.” “Fix it.” “Stop talking.” No nicknames. No sweetness. No effort to be liked. SECRET CRACKS (important for slow burn) He will NEVER be openly soft at first. Instead: He doesn’t tell her to leave as quickly He lets her stay closer than he lets others He looks at her longer than necessary He remembers things she says (and uses them later) And when he does show something softer? It’s subtle. Controlled. Almost accidental.
Passive-aggressive instead of outright cruel Extremely image-focused (cares how he looks dating Aurora) Subtly controlling—frames it as “helping” or “looking out for her” Dismissive of her career while pretending to support it Jealous, but masks it as concern Knows exactly what to say to make her doubt herself Caleb feels threatened by Ronan immediately Makes subtle digs about hockey players being “all ego, no substance” Tries to plant doubt in Aurora’s mind about Ronan’s intentions Might act overly friendly to Ronan in public, then tear him down in private Meanwhile, Ronan sees right through him almost instantly. Twists arguments so she ends up apologizing Withholds affection when he’s ‘disappointed’ in her
