Birdie’s Christmas Gift Box:

Hello everyone! I just wanted to wish y’all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

In the month of December my family and I make goodie boxes for people and families that have helped us in some way during the year. I would like to continue this tradition to my page to show my appreciation to my friends I’ve made through this app/website!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t fit all of the amazing and talented writers, friends, and moots, but I thank you all for everything y’all have done for me this year! 🥰

The Hangover - Jack Hughes

A/N: Hello friends, this is my first ever post on here and I hope you love it. I like to write in my free time, so send in requests! Or just send some love!❤️

wc:1,694 (credit to gif maker) (also please don’t steal my work)

———————————

It’s early enough in the morning when your eyes drift slowly open, and a prolonged yawn involuntarily escapes your lips. You’re feeling a bit dazed from the early hour, and It takes you a second to register where you are, but when you do, a small smile break across your lips.

Rolling over, you see him in his most tranquil state. Arms laying flat on either side of him, head slightly tilted away from you against his pillow. He seems like he’s barely breathing, yet when your eyes scan his chest, there's the sight of it slowly rising and deflating with each inhale and exhale he takes. Your eyes travel back up, and you see his eyes darting back and forth under his lids, and you wonder what he’s dreaming about.

Before you can stop yourself, your hand starts to slide across the bed sheets, and they find themselves lightly inching along his chest. You wait there, looking for some kind of shift or movement of his body, but he's still, ever present in his dream world.

It's moments like these that you live for, the peace before the chaos of everything else. Nothing bothers you here, at least until you want them to. You revel in these moments. Yet, watching him isn’t enough; you’re craving the intimacy of being in his arms, so even though you don’t want to wake him, you feel my heart call out too much to let him sleep any longer.

You’re careful as you scooch closer to his frame, cuddling up close and wrapping your arm over his torso. Your heart aches, even more, when you inhale the smell of his body wash.

“Jack,” you whisper, barely audible. When silence answers you, your forefinger finds its way back to him. Poking the side of his face, maybe a little harder than you should. “Jack”

His nose crinkles up at your attack, and you Immediately swipe your hand away and shrivel under the covers, nervously watching him until you see his pretty green eyes pierce yours. They blink rapidly, trying to adjust to the sunlight but struggling to pry open from sleep.

You feel slightly like you’ve committed treason, waking him up after the night he had, but your worries wash away when he grabs your arm, pulling you into him. He starts to smother you into his body, pulling your arm to reach over his torso as your leg naturally swings over his midsection.

You feel your eyes naturally melt to a close as he consumes your whole body, the heat transfer of his skin warming you nicely as your cheek lays along his pec.

You feel most comfortable as you lay in his arms, gently drawing shapes on his forearm that’s rested on yours. You hear his breathing steadily again, and you realize you have lost. There is no way he’s getting up, and you’re okay with that. Especially while in this position. You feel every bit of love and romance you don’t always get in these small moments, and you silently hope that everyone leaves you alone for a while.

Your eyes close after a moment, and you can feel yourself growing tired with the extra heat of Jacks' body when suddenly you feel him shift under you, and suddenly he goes rigid.

“Fuck.” He quickly pushes you from him and goes to clutch his mouth as he hurries toward the connected bathroom.

You’re a little shocked and perplexed, but it all becomes clear when you hear the sounds of Jack emptying his stomach contents into the toilet.

Well, moment ruined.

You hear him go back for round two as you quickly exit the bedroom, heading directly for the kitchen. The house is quiet, and you’re very thankful for the soundproof bedrooms, or else everyone would be graced with Jack's not-so-pleasant good morning.

In less than a minute, you’ve secured the goods; a bottle of water, a blue Gatorade, tums, and some Advil. You quickly dart back up the stairs, and when you renter the bedroom, you’re happy not to hear wrenching.

As you walk into the bathroom, you see Jack slumped over the toilet, looking a little shaky but otherwise normal. He turns his face to meet you when you enter, and you can’t help but let a laugh bubble from your lips.

“I’m glad you find this funny.” You snicker even more at his attitude.

You control your laughter as you sink to the floor beside him, going to rub his bare back as he rests his head against the toilet seat.

“Bet you’re regretting that fireball, huh?” You ask.

He shoots you a glare but then nods. “Yeah, not that great coming back up.”

You laugh again and hand him the bottle of water, which he graciously accepts and takes a small sip.

“Are you done, or got some left?” You nod your head toward the toilet.

He shakes his head, and you help him get up to his feet, semi-dragging him back to his bed. When you get there, he slumps forward onto the mattress, and you somehow maneuver him so he’s tucked in again.

Once he’s good, you turn to head downstairs, where you currently hear some banging around, but before you make it one step, you feel his hand go to grip your wrist.

“Where are you going?” He hoarsely speaks.

“Downstairs. Go to sleep for a bit longer, J, and take those tums.”

He doesn’t protest, which is a relief, and you make your way down the stairs again and into the kitchen, where you’re greeted by Luke, who looks like he’s been hit by a truck and backed over again.

His hair is sticking up in all directions, and the bad under his eyes are so puffy you’re a little worried he has an allergic reaction.

“Wow, Lukey, are you good?”

He doesn’t answer; he just shakes his head no, staring off into space. You almost want to laugh again when suddenly Quinn rounds the corner, looking even more horrible than Luke. It’s not even his hair that’s crazy, it’s his eyebrows too, and then there is the black eye.

So that’s nice; all three Hughes brothers are down for the count.

“So if I’m being honest, I’m only like 10 percent sure how I got this.” Quinn points to his eye.

This time a laugh does fall from your lips. “Do you guys have any memory of what happened last night?”

They both look at each other and contemplate for a minute, shaking their heads.

“I remember Jack bringing out Fireball, and then it gets a little hazy.”

As Quinn mentions fireball, you hear Luke gag, and you’re hoping he’s not about to puke too. He gets ahold of himself, and you’re relieved.

“Well, let’s just say you guys had an eventful night.” You tease.

Quinn groans. “What time did we get in?”

“Well. I stopped you from heading to the rink to show Jack “who’s boss” at around 2:30. So around 3 is when you all were wrangled and in bed.”

Quinn groans again and lets his face fall into the cold metal of the fridge. “Is that how I got the black eye?”

You shake your head no. “That would be from Luke kicking you in the face when you tried to steal his Baja Blast freeze.”

As you finish my statement, you see Luke freeze, a bewildered expression crossing his face.

“I kicked him in the face?”

You nod again. “You were very protective of your slushy.”

Luke opens his mouth in disbelief but is interrupted when you hear loud and rather obnoxious groans coming from the stairs.

Jack enters the kitchen, and all three brothers look like a sight to behold. Each has that blank expression you get after a bad hangover, and you want to take a picture.

Jack crosses the kitchen to where you’re sitting and places a quick kiss on your forehead. “Sorry about earlier.”

You wave him off, Quinn gives me a confused expression, and you explain. “Jack puked.”

Quinn nods, and then you see Luke himself go a bit rigid.

“Speaking of puke, be right back.” Luke darts away from the kitchen and slams the nearest bathroom door shut.

“And another one bites the dust. You wanna go three for three, Q?”

He shakes his head and goes to take a tiny sip of water. “Nah, I’m good.”

As he struggles to get the water down, you’re less than convinced, but you drop it when Jack sits down next to your chair and drops his head down on the cool granite countertop.

You hear my stomach growl, and you pop a question. “Anyone hungry?”

At the very mention of food, the two present boys groan.

“I’m never eating or drinking again,” Jack says, face still pressed against the counter, ever the drama queen.

You laugh again and pull out some orange juice, pouring some into a glass and sitting back down next to Jack.

You sit there in silence for a minute when Luke comes back into the kitchen, looking a little less green than before.

Looking at the mess in front of you, you make an executive decision.

“How about you three crawl back to bed and sleep this off?

Quinn perks up like he’s never heard a better idea, and pretty soon, he and Luke are in their rooms with plenty of water and Advil, leaving only Jack behind.

“That means you too, come on.” You drag him from his stool.

“Wait, are you coming too?” His eyes are pleading. “Please?”

Your heart melts a bit at his statement. “Come on, J.”

In ten minutes, you are back in back in bed with everything you could need, including a bucket, just in case.

As you’re sitting here, pressed against his chest, you can’t help but think he was planning this all along, being babied, but you don’t mind every once in a while.

As soon as his breathing slows down, you feel yourself drift off, feeling content with the world when Jack suddenly becomes rigid again.

“Babe, I'm gonna need the bucket.”

I love you and thank for reading

Bird’s pov after hearing about Cinco’s baby daddy from the Wildest Dreams au by @mrsjaderogers (read first).

Please read Grace’s pov ( @gracespicybradshaw ) [second] & Baylie’s pov ( @bayisdying ) next before reading mine!

When the news of who Samantha’s sperm donor was, bird saw red.

She was mad for a whole list of reasons, the main one being Jake ignoring Cinco in her time of need.

As soon as Whiskey had let it slip in the phone call with both Bob and Bird on the other end, Bird was going into the closet where all of the old sports equipment was from their youth.

“Angel, why do you have that bat?”

“I just wanna talk to him.”

“But why the bat?”

Birdie is already putting on her shoes and grabbing her keys when she replies.

“Don’t ask questions you already know the answer to Bo, you’re smarter than that.”

She glared at him briefly before rolling her eyes and walking out the door.

Bob grabs her waist, making her almost fall off the steps into the garage.

“You know that you can’t actually hurt him right?”

“Not with my fists, but a bat could help.”

Bird tried to take off again only to be stopped by the arm around her middle.

“Amanda, think about this. You could do hard time in county for this!”

“I would go to jail a hundred times over for Cin. She has been nothing but a God sent from the beginning!”

Bird uses her anger to break free from his grasp, finally making it down the steps and to her truck.

Bob was close to her steps, but did stop her on her path once again.

“Amanda seriously think this through. If he’s gonna be the asshole we all know he is, then leave it alone.”

She tries to pass him but he keeps blocking her from the truck.

“LEAVE IT ALONE?! Do you really think I’m going to let an asshat like him get away with this?”

“He’s probably already got Lucky and Spicy on his ass, he doesn’t need you too!”

Bird puts the bat against Bob’s chest, slightly putting pressure on it.

“For what he’s done to her, he can bet that all of the girls are coming for him. You have exactly two seconds to get out of my way or I take my bat and make you move.”

Bob sighs loudly and with his arms up in surrender, he lets her go.

Bird is in the driver’s seat and backing up before he can get his phone out.

As soon as the old Chevy is out of sight, dirt flying as she drives to Hangman’s house like a bat out of Hell, he calls the unexpecting man.

It’s so cute, I love how he’s patient with her and then he finally gets jealous and is like ‘yeah no, I need to tell her’ 🥰

PHASES — LUKE HUGHES

luke hughes x fem!reader

summary: in which luke is pining for the girl he knows he’s destined to be with

notes: 4.3k words. this is a new style of writing for me and i truthfully don’t know about it but it felt right for this fic.

Luke Hughes knows a lot of things.

he knows hockey. he knows history. and he knows that in this moment, drunk on cheap beer and lip locked with the prettiest girl he’s ever seen, she and he are destined to be together.

but life and love are never simple. drunken hookups between best friends don’t just automatically make them a couple. and no matter how badly he wants to scream that she should be with him, he knows he has to wait it out; give her time to come to the same realization that he did two years ago.

her back digs into the armrest of the battered couch, her legs draped across Luke’s own as his fingertips grip her upper thigh. their faces are drawn together, her hands tangled beautifully in his curls, pulling him closer toward her vodka soaked lips.

“Lukey,” his name rolls off her tongue like a whispered prayer, causing a singular beat to skip in his heart.

“what do you need, doll?”

“you.”

and her singular word is the driving force that brings Luke to his feet, her hand laced with his as he leads her to his bedroom. the people in his apartment cast away from his mind, only one person occupying that space.

her.

surely, Jack can handle the party that he threw, no one would miss Luke.

and that thought is what leads them to his room, their bodies pressed together in mere minutes. the next few hours spent tangled between cotton sheets. his feverish touch making her body shake, and her soft sounds causing an intense sensation of need within him.

hot breath mingles, their lips rarely straying from each others. sweat coated skin sticking together as they christen his bed for the umpteenth time. neither mind clear, they find solace and pleasure with her legs wrapped around his waist and his sloppy thrusts bringing them to the highest points.

and when they call it a night, Luke’s hand slamming the car door shut after she falls into the backseat of an uber, he falls back into the same spot he started the night.

waiting for fate to bring her home to him for the final time.

***

the restaurant feels suffocating, her dress itchy, causing her to wiggle uncomfortably in her chair.

her date doesn’t even seem to notice, rambling on once more about how cool it is that she works for the New Jersey Devils.

“i mean, you must get to be around the players all the time, right? how did you even get that job?” what was this one’s name? Carter? Carson? it started with a C, right?

“i went to University of Michigan. graduated a year early with a degree in sport management, and after working with the hockey team there, i was able to secure a spot working for the Devils.” she smiles, a weak timid thing that barely even reaches her cheeks, “but yeah, i do spend a lot of time around the players. kinda my job to get content of them, ya know?”

maybe-Carter chuckles, nodding his head, “so are you like, friends with any of them?”

‘oh, here we go’ she thinks.

“i went to school with Luke Hughes, he’s kind of my best friend.” it was an instinct really, an involuntary reaction; for a smile to creep across her lips when she talks about Luke, “but i can’t really say much about him or the guys, they’re people too and they deserve their privacy.”

“right, totally respect that,” he nods, his lips falling into a tight line, and she can’t help but notice that they aren’t as pillowy as Luke’s.

his lips don’t nearly look as comforting to kiss. and his curls; they don’t… curl the way Luke’s do. rather he has a head of tighter curls, unlike Luke’s unruly mess of loose curls and waves mingling together. his eyes aren’t the right color either, erring on the side of a blue closer to Jack’s; which makes a shiver run down her spine, discomfort settling within her.

“are you cold?” he asks, catching sight of the goosebumps that spread across her skin. he huffs a condescendingly toned laugh before continuing, “maybe you should’ve brought a jacket, restaurants run cold.”

that was where she drew the line. with his obnoxious attitude combined with his interest, which only peaked when discussing her job, y/n was surprised she lasted as long as she did.

and if the fact that he wasn’t similar enough to her best friend played a small part in her leaving? well, could she really be blamed?

after all, it was Luke’s fault.

it was Luke who made the first move his freshman year of college, both of them tipsy on drinks made by Dylan and his heavy hand with rum. it was Luke who made the sophomore girl fall for him two years ago. it was Luke who drunkenly tells her he loves her as he buries himself inside of her, knowing exactly what to do to tip her over the edge. and it was Luke who has her going on at least five dates a month, trying to force the Devils rookie out of her heart.

or at least, she blames it on Luke; because she couldn’t allow herself to admit that she fell in love with him of her own accord. she can’t allow herself to confess how quickly their drunken hookups turned into something more for her. and she certainly can’t dwell on the fact that she hasn’t put a stop to them. how could she? those are the only moments that she can let herself believe, even for a moment, that she could be his.

because despite how badly she wanted it, she could never be Luke’s. not in the way she wants to be. no matter how hard she tries, she can never find the words to express how much he means to her. how much she loves him.

*

Luke laid on the couch, the springs digging into his back uncomfortably.

“dude, we really need a new couch.” he huffs, “and why am i laying like this? i don’t think people actually lay down in therapy outside of tv shows.”

“shut up, i’m taking notes.” Luke’s eyes drift to his older brother, who occupies the space of the living room chair.

“notes on what? i haven’t even said anything!”

“you don’t need to. i’ve listened to you bitch and moan about y/n for two years, i’m writing what i can remember.” Jack explains, his brows furrowed in focus as his pen scribbles messily across the notepad on his lap.

“why did i let you talk me into this?” Luke rolls his eyes at his brothers antics.

“because you’re pussy-whipped and you’re playing like shit.” Jack looks up from the notepad, straightening his posture and settling his focus on Luke.

“is that a medical diagnosis?” Luke jokes, his brow raising as he chuckles.

“no, that’s brotherly criticism. you get that for free, courtesy of the nine months we each spent in mom’s womb.” Luke cringes at his brothers words, shaking his head.

“don’t talk about mom’s womb.”

“just speak, dude. what’s going on in that curly head of yours?”

Luke sighs, his eyes drifting towards the ceiling. his hands fiddle with the cellphone that lays on his stomach, impatiently waiting for the text that he knows will come through.

it’s 10pm on an off day, he knows she’s got a date tonight. he also knows how her date will end; soon enough she’ll be texting him a long paragraph about how men suck and asking him to remind her why she can’t become a nun.

“well, i told you, i know she and i are meant to be together. i can feel it.” Luke starts, quickly cut off by the familiar grating voice he’s known his entire life.

“yeah, yeah, you’re a simp. move on.”

“has anyone ever told you that you’d make a horrible therapist?” Luke questions, head turning once more toward his brother.

“i can’t say anyone has, no.”

“yeah? well then, i’ll be the first.” he glares, “stick to hockey.”

“just keep talking, Lukey.”

“i think it’s getting harder to wait for her.” Luke confesses, and it feels like a small weight has been lifted off his chest; progress.

“so you wanna move on?” Jack asks, his pen scrawling along the paper again.

“no!” Luke huffs, sitting up on the couch to turn towards his brother, who quickly strikes out whatever he just wrote down, “i’m just saying that- that this whole waiting game is fucking with my head. Phil said i had to wait it out. he told me not to pressure her. practice my patience and let her come to the realization on her own.

“but, what if it goes on too long? she’s always going on dates, what if she meets someone else? what if it takes her ten years to realize what i realized like a month after we met?! what if she gets married before she realizes?”

“too many ‘what if’s’, dude. you’re hurting my brain.” Jack groans, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Luke, already in an emotional spiral, rolls his eyes, “what brain?”

“hey! i’m trying to help you here! don’t insult me!” Jack stands up, notepad falling to the floor and his hands drawing to his hips as he glares at the rookie defenseman.

“well you’re not much help.”

“you want my advice? either keep waiting and playing like shit and making easily avoidable mistakes, or say fuck it to your friends advice and tell her how you feel.”

“i’m going to bed.” Luke grumbles, pushing past the shorter man to go to his room.

“don’t forget, no morning skate tomorrow!” Jack calls out as Luke’s door clicks shut.

as Luke strips down to his boxers, his phone lights up on his bed, vibrating amongst the cotton sheets. and as he sees her name flashing on the screen, butterflies flutter in his core, making him swallow harshly in attempt to stop them.

he doesn’t even get a word out after accepting the call, her voice filtering through the speaker, “men suck.”

“oh yeah?” Luke can’t help but laugh at the repetitive cycle, “tell me more. how do we suck?”

“you just do, okay?” her tone is biting before she takes a sobering breath, “all he wanted to talk about was the team. i could practically see the walls shut down around him once i told him i couldn’t dish out the hot goss on players.”

“i’m sorry, y/n.” he’s not sorry. not even a little.

“remind me why i can’t be a nun?” her voice is distant as she takes the phone away from her ear so that she can unlock her apartment door.

“no tiktok and no sex.” Luke echoes for what feels like the hundredth time.

“right.” she kicks off her shoes, bumping the door shut behind her as her cat darts around between her legs, rubbing against her nylon tights, “you ready for the game tomorrow?”

“yeah.” no.

“good. i’m gonna go eat my weight in ice cream and scroll tiktok. goodnight, Lukey. thanks for the reminder and for listening to me rant.”

“any time. goodnight.”

as Luke lays in bed, he falls asleep with Jack’s advice echoing in his head.

keep waiting and playing like shit and making easily avoidable mistakes, or say fuck it to your friends advice and tell her how you feel.

meanwhile, y/n slumps on her sofa, a pint of ben & jerry’s in her hand as she looks down at the little ball of black fur that’s taken up residence by her feet.

“have you ever been in love, Sir Nightingale?”

the cat blinks back at her, patiently waiting for her attention. which comes in the form of her fingernails scratching lazily under his chin.

“i have.” she continues the one sided conversation, “it fucking sucks. never fall in love.”

***

the game was an absolute shit show.

Luke had taken a shoddy penalty in the first period; for delay of game, out of all things. which lead to a power play goal by the opposing team and leaving the Devils down by two.

it was only about five minutes later that Luke got an assist on a goal of Jack’s, but ultimately, the game still ended six to two, not in the Devils favor. not only did the team get yelled at for their lack of adequate effort, but Luke was singled out for at least two turned over pucks, which lead to opposing team goals.

and to make a bad night even worse, when all was said and done and Luke was finally showered and ready to just go home and wallow in the loss, he left the locker room to find y/n chatting with one of the equipment managers, Ben.

her hair twirled around her finger as she laughed at something Ben said, a red flush on her cheeks. Luke felt deflated, to say the least.

it was always someone else.

never him. never Luke.

he felt overlooked, and perhaps even unnoticed. it was like she never even saw him as an option, only ever the object of her desires when they were both tipsy and horny and already together.

and yet the feeling was still there. settled low within his gut, he still knew; he’s the one for her. he knows. he’s fairly certain that deep down, she knows it too.

is it his age? it’s only a year’s difference, surely it doesn’t matter, right? it was something else. it had to be, but he truly didn’t know what.

“y/n.” his voice carries through the hallway, settling in her ears and catching her attention.

turning towards him with wide doe eyes and parted lips, she smiles, “hey!”

“am i still giving you a ride home?” Luke’s expression is stony, giving nothing of his feelings away. though, he can’t help the way his eyes gravitate to the man behind her, Luke’s blank stare making the man cower just slightly.

and Luke almost felt proud of that. almost.

“actually, i think Ben and i are gonna go for some drinks. i’ll catch up with you tomorrow, yeah?”

his shoulders slump, his posture crumpling the same way his heart did in his chest.

“yeah, see you tomorrow.”

Luke barely gets two steps closer to the arena exit before her voice calls out, stopping him in his tracks. her heels click against the floor as fast as she could move, before she pops up in his vision.

“you played good. a few mistakes are normal, it’s your first full season, the most games you’ve ever played,” her voice is gentle, her eyes peering up at him softly through her wispy lashes, “i’m proud of you. don’t be too hard on yourself, alright?”

her arms wrap around his torso before he can even respond, her face buried in the chest of his suit. and before his heart can reach a normal pace again, before he can wrap his arms around her in return, she’s pulling away.

with a wave of her hand and a small but awe-strikingly beautiful smile playing upon her lips, she’s walking away. back to Ben, who waits for her by the arena exit now.

and once more, Jack’s voice is back inside Luke’s head. driving him absolutely insane as he watches the love of his life walk out of the building, giggling at something another man said.

keep waiting and playing like shit and making easily avoidable mistakes, or say fuck it to your friends advice and tell her how you feel.

*

keep waiting and playing like shit and making easily avoidable mistakes, or say fuck it to your friends advice and tell her how you feel.

tell her how you feel.

tell her how you feel.

tell her how you feel.

“tell her how you feel.” Luke wakes with a startle, his head knocking against his brother’s, who was leaning over him.

Jack curses, hissing in pain as he holds a hand his forehead.

“what the fuck are you doing in my room?” Luke groans, voice groggy as he takes in his surroundings.

“i got up to take a piss and i could hear your phone blowing up all the way from the bathroom,” Jack explains, “shit, you have a bony ass head.”

“it’s called a skull. i know yours doesn’t house anything inside of it, but even i assumed you’d know what it is.”

Jack huffs, rolling his eyes. “ya know what? just for that, i take back my advice. fuck off and die alone, what do i care?”

“why were you giving me advice at-” Luke slides his phone off his nightstand, checking the time, “two in the morning?”

“she’s blowing up your phone.” Jack scowls, “something something men suck something something maybe being a nun is worth the no tiktok?”

Luke feels an odd sense of relief as he looks at his recent texts, finding exactly what Jack had described.

well, without the ‘something something’s.

“pretty sure you were saying her name in your sleep too,” Jack smirks, backing away towards the bedroom door, “tell her how you feel, dickhead. put you both out of your misery so i can get some sleep and not listen to your incessant whining.”

with that, Jack leaves, the wooden door clicking shut in its frame behind him.

reading through the texts, Luke gathers that she and Ben didn’t get very far into the night together, seeing as her messages were still legible, something drunk her could never accomplish.

the thought brings him an unnecessary amount of joy. but then he’s hit with an overwhelming sense of annoyance, remembering he’ll have to go through this process all over again soon.

truthfully, he doesn’t know how much more he can take. he’s not giving up on her, on the contrary, maybe Jack is right. maybe Phil couldn’t give advice for all women and maybe Luke should just stop waiting.

she wasn’t coming to a realization quick enough and honestly, Luke is fucking tired. tired of drunken hookups. tired of listening to her rant about failed dates and sucky guys. tired of being overlooked as an option. tired of his feelings going unnoticed.

the dial tone was ringing in his ear before Luke even realized that he had made a decision, like his hands were working on autopilot. like his heart knew what he would decide before his brain did.

“hey! did i wake you?” her words weren’t slurred, Luke noted. that’s good, she doesn’t even sound tipsy. she’s in a sound state of mind for his confession.

“no,” he shook his head, despite knowing she could see him, “well, yes but no? you didn’t wake me up but Jack did, he could hear my phone buzzing.”

“oh shit, i’m sorry! we can talk tomorrow if you wanna go back to sleep, i’m just about to-”

“i love you,” immediately, Luke is regretting this decision; the silence on the other end of the phone making him bite his lip in anxiety.

“what?” her voice cracks as she giggles, “Luke, are you drunk? did you drink before you went to bed?”

“no,” he groans out, his head dropping back in frustration, “i swear, i haven’t touched any alcohol tonight. just listen to me.”

“i’m always listening to you, Lukey.” her eyes widen as she sits on the edge of her plush bed, “i just don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“i love you,” he repeats, rolling his shoulders in attempt to psych himself back up before he takes a deep breath.

“i’m in love with you. i have been since freshman year. i think that somewhere deep down, you know just as much as i do, that you’re meant to be mine. and i’ve waited two years for you to realize it. i’ve been patient, i’ve held back, i’ve waited on the sidelines while you go out on dates and i’ve listened to you rant about men. and that’s no problem; when i’m done, if you decide you’re still not ready, i’ll continue to wait for you. because even if you’re not mine, i’m yours, y/n. but, i need to get this off my chest and i need you to know that i’m in love with you. my life isn’t complete without yours. and when you’re ready, i’ll be here waiting for you. i’ll always be here. when you’re ready for the drunk hookups to turn into sober love, i’m gonna be right here. because i think that’s our fate. i think that we were destined to find each other and i think we were meant to have this storyline in our love story, and i know that one day you’ll realize it too. you can tell me i’m insane, you can tell me you don’t feel the same, you can even tell me to fuck off, if that’s what you wanna do. i’ll back off, i won’t say another word, but i’ll still be waiting.”

y/n is silent, her hands shaking as she breathes through the tears that roll down her cheeks. in return, Luke is quiet too, patiently waiting for her to digest everything he just confessed. every built up feeling that he just let slip out of him.

“i love you too.” it feels like all the weight she’s been shouldering has been listed off of her with the utterance of those four simple words.

“you do?” he feels like he can’t breathe, like he’s just been knocked against the boards and his lungs forgot how to take in oxygen.

“yes. Luke, why do you think i go on those dates? have you not noticed that almost every guy i go out with resembles you? i didn’t know if you felt the same way, i didn’t know how to tell you how i felt without risking our entire friendship going up in flames. Luke, i’m so fucking in love with you and it hurt. for two years, i’ve reveled in our drunken moments because i thought that was all i’d ever get. i dreaded the day that you would meet someone and tell me it has to stop. i fell for you so hard and it was so scary and i just- i had to try and move on. i had to try and meet someone before ultimately, you did. because i knew that if you told me you met someone, and i was still in love with you? i would never recover from that, Luke. i wouldn’t. and now you’re saying this and i, god i feel so fucking stupidly in love with you. you don’t have to wait anymore, because i realized i love you a long time ago.”

Luke pushes out of his bed, any interest in sleep lost to him. pulling on a hoodie and an abandoned pair of sweatpants from his bedroom floor, he doesn’t even bother telling Jack that he’s leaving.

“god, i need to kiss you.” he slips on his nike slides, his fingers nimbly plucking his keys off the hook by the front door, and as quickly as he could manage, he was out of there.

“you can kiss me tomorrow, Lukey.” she smiles, finally rising from her bed to finish her nightly routine.

that is, until she hears a key turn in her front door. her eyebrows pull together as she wonders out of her room, greeted by sight of a disheveled Luke in her apartment doorway, who looks like he just ran down the stairs to get there.

hanging up the phone, she grins back at the tall boy.

“or i can kiss you now.” a playful smirk pulls at the corner of his lips as he taking wide glides over to her.

his hands find her cheeks, his thumbs wiping gently over the supple, tear stained skin. the apartment is silent, their heartbeats racing as she gazes up at his beautiful eyes.

“or you can kiss me now.” she echoes, her words mumbled and low.

that’s the final straw, the confirmation Luke desperately needed, and finally, he allows his head to dip down. her lips were warm and soft, tasting faintly of mint ice cream, and warmth spreads across his body, starting at his chest and almost blossoming across his body. Luke feels at home.

her hands desperately cling to his hoodie, as though he’ll disappear if she lets go, and his slide back to cup the nape of her neck. she has no desire to pull away, but her lungs spread with fire until she’s forced apart by the need to breathe.

“i love you.” she whispers, eyes closed as she rests her forehead against his own, teeth digging into her bottom lip as she bites back a lovelorn smile.

“i love you, sweet girl.”

“please don’t go back home. spend the night?” she finally opens her eyes, her head tipping back as he straightens up.

a pink hue glows upon his cheeks, and she can’t resist letting the backs of her fingers gently graze over the heated skin.

“not going anywhere, baby. staying right here.” his lips brush against her forehead, leaving a fleeting kiss in their wake and making her heartbeat flutter within her rib cage.

it feels right, the way they go about a new bed time routine. luke’s arms wrapped around her waist as she brushes her teeth, his eyes boring into her reflection. her head on his chest as they fall asleep, his alarm on for them to wake up for morning skate, together.

and if they were holding hands when they walked into the rink, if they were a cheesy couple who kissed before he entered the locker room, if his smile was a bit too wide in the tiktok she filmed for the Devils socials, if she chose the question ‘do you believe in fate?’ solely because of him, could they really be blamed?
