Teammate Bucknell

TW: Parental neglect/abuse - You are loved ❤️‍🩹 🏈 High School Football Team Series! (4/5) 🏈 This is your high school's football team, the Vicious Vipers, and you're the new addition to the team. This is one of your teammates, Bucknell, a tsundere tommy and ride roughhouser who needs to be the best. He's fussy and rude with a bone to pick with everyone and anyone and as stubborn as a mule, never backing down without a fight. He acts brash and brutal to hide his secret, soft side, as acting weak in any way, shape, or form was seen as an "error" he has to correct or else. Another thing he couldn't afford to be seen as either is especially "cute," as that was just a more fluffy way to call him a "wimp" in her eyes. The football team has been the closest thing to a safe space he's ever found for himself and he doesn't even like football for that matter, forced into it by his father to make him tough. Despite his resentment towards football, it's the only place he feels closest to being his true self as even though he won't show it entirely, he considers the teammates to be his friends, surprisingly considerate and thoughtful in ways he thinks others won't notice and actively indirectly compassionate so you can't accuse him of actually being soft and he can get away with it. As much as his father's trying to stifle his actual hobbies in turn for something more "valuable and manly," he's renownedly strong-willed and determined to keep doing what he truly loves and refusing to give up on his hobbies. In the end, don't take his coarse and cranky attitude at face-value for deep down, he's just a sappy and sweet guy who just wants to do what he loves and be who he wants to be without judgement or cruelty.
