location, TD garden.

————

the TD garden all of a sudden felt different. they weren’t here just to watch a random game for no reason. they were watching her.

aiden sat quietly in his chair, they were lower level, just a few rows up from the glass, on the home side.

indigo wouldn’t see them if she tried to look anyway. macklin tapped his foot rather loudly. “dude can you stop.” aiden kicked him. “fuck you.” macklin grumbled.

aiden looked at him, pulling out his phone. “don’t post about it.” macklin told him. “i’m not. i’m texting mom about you being a bitch.” aiden rolled his eyes. “mom would kill you if you said that.”

————

on the ice was a different story, she was already top line with william eklund, she is also her road roommate, and became one of her closest friends.

skating around the half of the rink, smiling at one of the posters she seen “#34 thanks proving girls can do what boys do!”

she bent down, picking up a puck and pointing at the little girl, who looked around 7 or 9, tossing the puck other the net, which rightfully got to the girl.

william skated over to her. “you made it big!” he pushed her. indigo laughed slightly. “if history is big, than i guess so” she teased, turning to face him.

little did she know, macklin’s eyes followed her. every single move she made, his eyes followed her. he never looked away. not until she left the ice with 20 seconds left in warmups.

————

the sharks ended up losing 3-0.

the locker room was silent, the sound of pads hitting the bench and showers turning on.

indigo grabbed her stuff, placing it in the in the laundry basket that sat in the corner of the locker room.

she didn’t even bother to shower in the locker room, before heading out and going to her hotel room to shower.

funny enough. it was the exact same hotel and room she was in just a few months ago. turning on the shower, setting out new clothes and grabbing out her shampoo and conditioner and body wash.

letting the water warm up, before stripping her clothes and stepping in, closing the curtain.

————

walking out of the arena, and to aiden’s car the two stayed silent. the walk was about 4 minutes. aiden didn’t pay for arena parking, instead parked down the street.

macklin opened the passenger seat door. sitting down and bucking his seatbelt. aiden slid into the drivers seat, turning the car on and starting the drive back to the campus dorms.

the normally 20 minute drive, took 40 minutes with game traffic. finally walking inside and laying down before plugging his phone in, macklin let out a sigh.

he prayed silently that indigo didn’t see him. maybe it was weird to go… he had already bought tickets before they broke up. luckily aiden was still friends with her. he’d talk to her almost everyday.

for the longest time, aiden kept it from macklin. he’d never bring her up, only keeping to himself about his friendship with indigo.

little did macklin know, indigo did see him. walking out of the arena.

september 19, 2023

location, Boston University

————

preseason had ended a few days ago, and indigo had flew into boston two days ago. working with the time difference, mack’s classes, and practices, were hard.

she’d be asleep when he left, at 8:00 am, for class, and be awake when he went to bed. she’d never really been in est, only going there for games, and leaving soon after.

finally together, sitting on macklin’s dorm bed, in a comfortable, yet awkward silence. indigo yawned leaning her head back.

macklin placed his legs over top of hers. trying to keep some touch with her. he and her both knew, they were falling apart. time differences, college, nhl.

macklin didn’t want to say anything. he absolutely couldn’t. he can’t hurt her. she’s the only person he truly wants to be with.

she’s the reason he smiles everyday. he loves her. he can’t hurt her. he won’t.

“are you hungry?” macklin spoke up. for the first time in ten minutes. “i could eat.” indigo nodded. “i’ve got another meal swipe if you wanna use it.” macklin offered.

“no offense.. but bu dining haul food… isn’t good…” indigo said, laying her phone on her chest.

macklin looked at her. “well that’s our only option unless you wanna drive.”macklin told her. “it’s not my fault you can’t drive.” indigo kicked her leg out from under his.

“i didn’t drive because i had you..” macklin shrugged. she took him everywhere. “you’ve still got aiden.” indigo pulled her knee out and tapped his thigh.

“come on lay lay. you feel it too. we can’t handle long distance.” macklin whispered. “mack please.” indigo sighed. “no, just tell me you feel it.” macklin said.

“i can’t. because i don’t want it to be true. i can’t do this macklin. i absolutely hate to be away from you. it hurts me so much, and i can’t do it anymore. but i don’t wanna be even further away from you.” indigo told him. she’s never loved someone more than macklin celebrini. nothing could ever make her stop loving him.

macklin blinked. “i can’t be away from you either. we’re across the fucking country. two completely different lives. we don’t share our lives anymore. you’re going to the nhl. and i’m proud. but it’s so fucking hard.” macklin said, sitting up right.

“you know i love you… right?” indigo asked, standing up. “i know. and i love you.” macklin nodded. “i’m never gonna stop loving you.” indigo told him. shoving her things in her bag.

macklin leaned his head back, stopping himself from crying. “me either.” macklin’s voice cracked. indigo stopped, walking over to him and giving him a hug. this would be their last hug for a year. the hug was long.

“i’ll miss you.” macklin whispered. “i’ll miss you more.”

————

indigo left, booking a hotel and a flight. she texted aiden goodbye and told him what happened before throwing herself on the hotel bed.

tears escaped her eyes. never would she had thought they wouldn’t be together. her boyfriend.. or ex. and best friend were now gone.

she wasn’t okay. she didn’t know how to live life without him. all of the memories running through her mind. his smile, his laugh, his voice.

how can she live without him? how can she carry on? she can’t. how could she? how… how…how. so many questions ran through her head.

abet met out a long sigh. turning over and picking up her phone, going to her contacts and clicking macklin’s name, which read ‘mackie 🤍’ clicking on the three dots, and editing his name. ‘macklin’ before changing the contact to just him. it used to be them. and now it’s not. there is no them.

any niamh thoughts and/or any connor + y/n thoughts ??

[kentsjohnson91]

Any tips for starting a cute aesthetic blog?

i’m honored you think my blog is aesthetic hahaha! thank you :)

i still have a lot to work on, but my biggest tips are using different fonts!

for lovefool and text door neighbor, i like to use instagram fonts (should be the first one that comes up when you search) to get this effect:

i also like using this this font for little blurbs instead of all out fics!

for full-blown fics, i use twitter fonts to achieve the look i want! once i have my title down, i highlight it and click ‘chat’ under aa to space it out a little bit! to achieve the initials and titles after the title, i use instagram fonts! here’s an example:

as i said earlier i still have a long way to go hahaha, but if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!!

— 𝒅𝒊𝒃𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒅!

in which a broken hip leads to a sibling sleepover!

It was one of those nights where the pain wouldn’t let Niamh sleep. Her hip ached with every slight movement, radiating a dull, relentless throb no matter how still she tried to be. The nest of pillows and blankets her mom had built around her helped only a little, and the couch—her makeshift bed since the injury—suddenly felt colder, lonelier than ever.

She stared at the ceiling, her fists clenched at her sides. She hated this. Hated being stuck, hated feeling weak, hated how her brothers were finally home, yet she still felt so far away from them. They’d been trying so hard to help, but she couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that she was just holding them back.

Eventually, she couldn’t take it anymore. Pushing herself up as carefully as she could, she reached for her phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she opened the group chat she shared with her brothers. She stared at the empty text box, hesitating.

Was this dumb?

Would they think she was being dramatic?

She shook the thought away and typed out a simple text: are you guys awake?

The replies came almost instantly.

always. what’s up?

everything okay, rowan?

why are you awake? you okay?

Niamh swallowed hard, her chest tightening at the way their concern shone through even in short texts. Finally, she typed: can we have a sleepover? like, all of us in one room?

There was a pause, the groupchat between the four of them unusually still for a moment, and she worried she’d made a mistake. But then Lukas replied.

dibs on the bed! i’m not sleeping on the floor

And then Cole replied.

dibs revoked. RO’S the one with the broken hip

And then Owen.

lukas, shut up. i’ll grab some extra blankets.

Niamh let out a shaky laugh, the ache in her chest easing just a little.

It didn’t take long for her brothers to show up. Cole was the first, slipping quietly into the living room. “Hey,” he whispered, his voice softer than usual. “Where do you wanna do this? My room?”

She nodded. His room was close by, and for some reason, it always felt safe to her.

“Alright, let’s get you there,” he said, crouching down in front of her.

“Wait,” she protested weakly. “I can crutch my way—”

“Nope. Not happening.” Before she could argue, Cole had gently slid his arms under her legs and around her back. “You’re not doing anything to make it worse, Ro. I got you.”

She sighed but didn’t fight him, instead wrapping her arms around his neck as he carefully lifted her. He moved slowly, taking the stairs one at a time to avoid jostling her.

When they got to his room, Owen was already there, spreading a pile of blankets on the floor, and Lukas was flopped on the bed, scrolling through his phone like he hadn’t been summoned.

“Get off my bed,” Cole muttered as he helped Niamh settle onto the mattress.

“It’s not just your bed,” Lukas shot back. “It’s communal now. I’m making myself at home.”

Cole rolled his eyes. “If you kick her while you’re ‘making yourself at home,’ you’re out.”

“Relax, Mom,” Lukas said with a grin, though he did scoot over to give Niamh more space.

They settled in quickly. Cole stayed beside Niamh on the bed, propping her up with pillows until she was as comfortable as possible. Owen claimed the corner of the floor closest to the bed, while Lukas sprawled in the middle of the blanket pile, somehow managing to take up more space than seemed physically possible.

“So, what’s the plan for this sleepover?” Lukas asked, folding his hands behind his head. “Ghost stories? Truth or dare? Or should we let Niamh pick since she’s the injured one?”

“She just wanted company, genius,” Cole said, shaking his head.

Lukas shrugged. “I’m just saying, I’d kill it at truth or dare.”

“You’d kill yourself if you tried to do any dares,” Owen muttered from his spot on the floor.

“Okay, you guys,” Niamh interrupted softly, her voice cutting through the teasing. “I don’t care what we do. I just didn’t want to be alone tonight.”

Her quiet admission made them all pause. Lukas, always the loudest, glanced at her, his grin fading into something softer. “You don’t have to be alone, Niamh,” he said, nudging her foot lightly. “You’ve got us. Forever and always.”

“Yeah,” Owen chimed in, his voice steady. “We’re not going anywhere. Ever.”

Cole smiled faintly, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. “You’re stuck with us, whether you like it or not.”

They stayed up late, talking about nothing in particular. Lukas told some ridiculous story about his time at Bemidji State, and Owen tried to fact-check him every step of the way. Cole played referee when Lukas got too animated and almost sent one of the blankets flying into Niamh.

Eventually, the room quieted as everyone started to drift off. Cole turned off the lights, leaving only the soft glow of the hallway to keep the room from total darkness.

Niamh stayed awake a little longer, listening to her brothers’ steady breathing. Lukas had already started snoring lightly, and Owen’s even breaths were like a metronome. Cole, always the last to fall asleep, shifted beside her, making sure she was still comfortable before finally settling.

She closed her eyes, the pain in her hip still there but dulled by the warmth of her brothers surrounding her. For the first time in weeks, she felt truly at peace.

And as she drifted off, she thought to herself: if this if what came of it, then maybe a broken hip wasn’t so bad after all.
