Cute low angst, friends to lovers, hockey/football MM romance

Zach wasn't what I expected, based on his past appearances. He was the donut loving goofball (gave off himbo) but he was very different in his own story. Not necessarily good or bad, just unexpected.

Carter was oblivious to Zach's pining and harboured love for him. They were childhood best friends and very close and affectionate, but Carter never saw him as more.
After zach had a bad injury, it kind of clicked that Carter needed zach as more.
