“Damn, you two are so adorable together you make me jealous.”

I narrowed my eyes on Finn.

“Oh God, not at you, sorry.” He laughed out loud. “I meant in general. Seeing you together makes my sad little heart happy.”

“Okay,” Arne chimed in. “Let’s see what you got.”

Hi everyone!

We’re Max (‘Raven’) and Arne (‘Viking’) of the @VeitsreuthPumas.

An unknown person filmed us at the Bad Fichtelstein Spa today and uploaded the video to ArgoS. In the video we’re kissing, because yes, we are in a committed relationship.

We are sure you understand how this breach of our privacy affects us and our work. Arne and I will pull out of the next three games.

We would like to thank everyone for respecting our privacy as we navigate this situation together.

We promise to be back on the ice soon and will give you our beak performance.

We love you!

Max & Arne

“Is that all right?” Finn cocked a furry eyebrow at us.

“I like it. What do you say, baby?” Arne’s eyes sought mine. I hugged him to my side again.

“I think it’s good. No excuse, no finger pointing, but being clear in our statement.” My lip curled up in a smirk. “I like that ‘committed relationship’ bit.”

“Thought you might.” Finn pulled up his picture app and perused the photos he had taken of us. “How about this? I like how lovey-dovey you look at each other.”

Arne snorted, but Finn had a point. In the picture we were both trying to focus on what he said but side-eyed the other as if we were going to kiss any minute.

“Use that,” I told him, dropping my hand to the viking’s butt and giving it a squeeze that made him jump.

God, I can’t wait to get him home.

We waited until he had put the post together and published it after we’d given our okay once more.

It took only a few moments before Finn’s computer went batshit with notifications.

Omg you are so cute together

Congrats Max and Arne!

I’d do him too. He’s hot af
