In my cloud

It’s been a couple of days and Kasperi was able to finish all the paperwork in pittsburgh. He is back home in Finland.
He is aware that this is his last summer that can be considered normal. Though his life hasn’t truly been normal if we can be honest, being raised in the NHL is not the norm. Everything so far has been due to his dad, but once september hits he will be the center of the attention. He might as well enjoy some of his last quiet moments.
Kasperi is sitting in one of the sitting rooms of his house (technically his parent’s house) in Kuopio. It’s his favorite room for lounging in the afternoon. The reason is simple, it’s the brightest room. It’s right across from the front door and overlooks the backyard through a glass wall. His mom decorated everything in soft creams and whites. If she would know that he has put his beverage on the table without a coaster he would have hell to pay, but he know’s she’s gone shopping with Mrs. Sëppala. He is king of the castle now.

It was a little later when Kasperi was checking out a new youtube video in his scription box that he hears knocking. When he answered the door he wasn’t surprised to see Jaakko and Petteri.
“What up Kassu?”
“How you doing, dude?”
They asked while taking off their shoes.
“Not much, got the place to myself, mom’s gone shopping with mrs. Sëppala and dad took my brother and sisters to go swimming.”
They flopped down back on the couch.
“Guys careful, if the couch moves and scratches the floor my mom is going to kill me”
“who the fuck get spanish floors?” Jaakko says in disbelief, rolling his eyes.
“It’s Italian marble and according to my mom and her decorator it’s the shit.“ Kasperi doesn’t get his mom. It’s like she’s still trying to compete with the other WAG’s, but she’s on the other side of the planet.
“Kassu, you better get yourself a nicer place with your NHL money.”
“Fuck you Petteri, it’s my money I’ll do what I want”
“But like dude, imagine,” Petteri was holding Kasperi’s head and waving his fantasy in front of him ” Movie theater, bedroom with a spinning bed, pool, ..”
“Pool table” Jaakko interrupted”
“Great thinking, my friend, pool table. The ideal bachelor pad”
Kasperi was laughing at the idea “Guys, you forgot about the stripper pole in the living room”
That comment made all of the guys laugh.

“Awesome, but Kassu, We have some serious business to address” Jaakko started
“Oh dear god, what now” Kasperi already knew from the way he says it that nothing good was going to follow.
“We need to work on a nickname!” says Jaakko
“He’s right” Patteri agrees “You don’t want to end up with a dumb nickname”
Kasperi was not feeling it “Dudes it’s not like I can help it, the media makes this up”
“We know we know, but you might help the media. Make your own suggestion. This is super important, things stick, Sid is still ‘the kid’ even though he’s well in his 20’s now”
“And I’ve already seen comments stating ‘Kasperi the friendly finn’, are you kidding me. I’ll pretend that i don’t know you anymore if that goes viral”
Kasperi couldn’t help but laugh a little at the friendly finn comment. “So tell me then, what nickname have you selected”
“Well, … “ Jaakko was sitting up much straighter, feeling very proud at that moment, “We were thinking about ‘happy kappy’.”
Petteri being the great assistant complemented “it’s catchy, but not too embarrassing”
“ok, well argumented, but how will you guys sell this to the media”
“use it as a hashtag” they sing it synchronised.
Kasperi gave himself over to the laughing fit. He laughs so hard he almost fell of the couch. His 2 mates are the best. He knows they just want the best for him.

They decide to go meet up with some other friends at satu’s house for the afternoon.
While in the car Kasperi sets operation nickname into action.
“Hey guys, smile, this one’s going to the fans” He says while taking a selfie in the car and then posting it on instagram with #HappyKappy.
Petteri is pissed, “dude, like no, I don’t want to be on the internet”
As Kasperi was looking at the picture he noticed Petteri was flipping the bird towards the camera. “Hey, what’s the big deal, it’s just a photo”
“I just don’t want random chick coming after me just to get to know you, I don’t have time for those bitches, so just don’t involve me”
Kasperi was silent, things were going to change.
