fics where bitty is like a normal person who gets a normal person job after college and jack doesn’t drop his name when he comes out so no one outside really intense sports fandom/media people really know who he is and then his co-worker is like “hey we’re gonna go to the falcs game this weekend!” and he’s like “oh so am i” “oh really? what seats ya got?” and bitty’s just like OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHI– “i meant the other game i gotta go”
bitty works in sports journalism covering like college football or something and then his boss is like “since marilyn’s on maternity leave, i was wondering if you could cover the falcs game this saturday with mark?” … … “um eric–” … “ihaveaconflictinginterestsorry”
Bad Bob stops by the office at some point for something publicity related or maybe a story being run about him and stops by Bitty’s desk like “Eric hi!!” And chats and is like “Btw Alicia wants you to come over for dinner again sometime, she says she misses you, though she may also just be angling for some of those turnovers you made last time you came over.” And everyone just stares at him like “???????”
Bitty’s not even in sports journalism, he writes a food column for Arts and Lifestyle. But to get to his desk, you have to walk PAST the spots people.
and the sports writers are all coincidentally all on break except for Trevor, who follows football and soccer and doesn’t really keep up with hockey. Trevor knows of Bob Zimmermann, but not his face.
Trevor glances at Eric after the conversation and asks, “Who’s that?”
“Oh, my father in law. He’s in town with his wife and we’re having family dinner tonight.”
“Cool.” Maybe Trevor is a bit disappointed because this means that Eric is definitely married, and the ring on his left hand definitely means something.
The next time he’s hanging out with his sports coworkers and Bob walks past, Trevor gives him a smile and a nod and gets a smile back. His coworkers’ eyes all bulge out as they see the living legend walk past them and grabs onto Trevor’s arm.
“Trevor tell me that just happened?”
“That what happened? That’s Eric’s father in law.”
“WHAT?!”
