༺═──────────────═༻

She knew before his first goal that it was a special game since it's the night before Wyatt's 21st birthday. She's been waiting months for this night since she turned 21 in December. It makes tonight even better that Dallas is playing in game four of the second round of the playoffs too.

Wyatt scores again in the second period and she is on her feet for the rest of the game just in case he gets the hatty. It would be the perfect way to end being 20. He gives the puck to Steel on an empty net attempt though and that’s the end of his last game at 20 years old.

That’s Wyatt. He could’ve had a hat trick in his last game as a 20 year old but he let Sam have his first goal of the playoffs instead. So selfless. That’s her boyfriend though and it’s one of the reasons she loves him.

She goes back to the hotel where the Stars are staying to wait for Wyatt. It’s not quite midnight in Colorado so they have to wait a little bit before taking Wyatt out.

She changes out of her borrowed stolen Stars jersey into something a little more bar friendly. The Stars jersey and leggings turns into a skintight black mini dress with thin straps and heels. The dress accentuates her curves and pushes her breasts up. She pulls out the double French braids that she had in to make her hair naturally wavy then touches up her makeup.

A key is used in the door and it’s pushes open about 30 minutes after she gets back to the hotel. She peeks her head out of the bathroom and watches Wyatt walk into the room. He isn’t alone. Pavs, Tyler, Jamie, Roope, Miro and Logan walk in with him. She smiles and walks out of the bathroom.

“Hi, handsome,” she says to get Wyatt’s attention. “Nice goals tonight.”

Wyatt looks up from his phone and smiles when he sees his girlfriend. “Like what you saw, pretty girl?” he asks as she approaches him.

“I’ve very much enjoyed all seven of your playoff goals this season,” she laughs. “And three last season. Good job at scoring ten playoff goals before turning 21.”

One of his hands falls to her waist and he pulls her flush against him before crashing their lips together. His other hand rests on her lower back and he dips her backward a bit. She smiles and cups his jaw with both her hands.

The kiss heats up and for a second, she forgets that six other people are in the room. It’s not until one of said other people clears his throat that she remembers that they’re not alone.

Wyatt breaks the kiss and looks at his teammates. She turns her own head to look at the other hockey players in the room.

“The six of you insisted that you come back to my room with me knowing she was here and I scored two goals tonight while also being the eighth player in NHL history to score 10 playoff goals before turning 21,” he says. “I apologize for getting a little carried away.”

“A little?” Tyler asks. “You were trying to eat her face, Johnny.” She giggles at Tyler’s comment and looks up at Wyatt. He stands her back up but doesn’t let her go.

Her boyfriend rolls his eyes and asks, “What time are we going out and who else is coming? There’s no way that it is just the six of you taking me out tonight. Not after the win.”

Jamie, who was typing away on his phone, says, “All the guys that can legally drink are coming, which I’m pretty sure it’s everyone once the clock strikes midnight in an hour.” The Stars captain looks at her. “You’re 21, right?”

“Turned 21 in December,” she explains.

“Good,” Jamie replies. “We leave at quarter of twelve so we are at the bar by midnight to buy Johnny here his first legal drink. I’m giving Pavs that honor, but I’m buying his second drink as his captain.”

The guys laugh then begin fighting over who else is going to buy Wyatt a drink. All she got from the entire argument is that Wyatt is going to get very drunk tonight and will be very hungover when they wake up for their early afternoon flight back to Dallas tomorrow.

In the forty minutes between when Wyatt got back to the room and when they leave, more Stars players make their way into the hotel room after showering or eating something. It’s not a very big room and there are nearly 20 grown men standing around. She spends the entire time in Wyatt’s arms or sitting on his lap to save some space.

At quarter of twelve, she and the Stars leave the hotel in the van that they all pitched in to rent so they don’t take the team bus to the bar. Pavs is the designated driver so they can make it back in one piece. Ten minutes later, the van arrives at a bar in downtown Denver.

Considering it’s a Monday night in the middle of May, the bar is very crowded. Maybe it’s people who went out to watch the game or maybe it’s people that decided to just go drinking on a Monday night. Either way, it’s very crowded and the music is loud. ESPN is on multiple TVs so the game was on at some point. Their group gets stared at as they find a large high top table to sit at.

Wyatt sits at the head of the table. She sits on one side of him and Pavs sits across from her. Tyler sits on the other side of her and Jamie is on the other side of Pavs.

A waitress walks up to the table with her pad and says, “I guess you’re all here to celebrate your win. I guess you’re also here for his birthday.” She nods at Wyatt. “You guys still have like three minutes before I can legally serve him a drink.”

Jamie speaks up. “Well, by the time the drinks get to the table, it’ll be midnight and he’ll be 21,” he comments.

“Touché,” she replies with a smile. “What can I get you guys?”

They go around the table and order their drinks. Pavs orders for Wyatt since technically, it’s not midnight yet and he can’t order his own drink. He’s got two minutes before he can do that. IDs are checked, including Wyatt’s to make sure he isn’t lying about turning 21 in a minute.

Then she’s off with their drink orders. Pavs has the first round.

Tyler is the first to acknowledge when the clock strikes midnight. He lets the entire bar know when he screams, “He’s 21!” Hoots, hollers, and happy birthdays sound from around the table. Wyatt turns a bright shade of red but has a huge smile on his face as he thanks his teammates.

She smiles at her birthday boy. Wyatt eventually looks at her. “Happy birthday, baby,” she says to him.

“Thank you, my pretty girl,” Wyatt replies.

She hops out of her seat so she can give Wyatt a hug. He wraps his arms around her shoulders and she pecks his jaw. “We have a lot to celebrate tonight,” she mumbles against his ear. “Just so you know.”

He looks down at her with a grin on his face. “I can’t wait.”

Their drinks all arrive about two minutes later. The guys all hold their drinks up and Jamie makes a little toast.

“To Wyatt Johnston’s 21st birthday,” he says. “He is just getting started. That being said, here’s to us going up in the series and being one game away from moving onto the next round. Let’s win it on Wednesday and make it to the Western Conference finals for the second year in a row.”

The boys cheers their drinks and take a sip. Wyatt downs his in a few chugs. Some of the guys are impressed and others are surprised. She gives Wyatt a knowing look so he can relax because it’s so obvious that he’s had drinks before.

Jamie orders a round of shots, and everyone orders their favorite shot. Tyler gets the round of drinks after that and everyone is two drinks and a shot deep already. They’ve been at the bar for maybe fifteen minutes, ten of those where Wyatt has been legal.

A couple of the single guys go and try to find a girl for the night, but it’s rough being a Dallas Star in Avalanche territory. She just laughs at their attempts as the alcohol she has been drinking begins to run through her veins.

An hour later, things are spinning even though she’s in a chair. She’s had four drinks and five shots. All were very strong and she doesn’t have the highest tolerance. Wyatt has a higher tolerance, or maybe it’s because he’s several inches taller than her and weighs more than she does.

Wyatt excuses himself to go get a drink at the bar. Her eyes linger on him as he weaves his way through the crowd to get his drink. She sips her drink as her eyes fall to his ass. It looks good in the dress pants he never got out of when he got back to the hotel after the game. The button up he’s wearing hugs his arms in the right places as he leans against the bar.

She crosses her legs as she imagines both articles of clothing on their hotel room floor while they celebrate the win and his birthday.

Suddenly, she isn’t sure if she’ll make it back to the hotel. The room gets hot very quickly and she presses her lips in a line. Her mind betrays her despite every attempt to stop thinking about her plans for when they leave the bar in a few hours.

He comes back with a handful of drinks for the table, including another drink for her since she was almost finished her drink when he walked away. Wyatt hands her the glass and her eyes focus on his hand around it. All she can think about is his fingers in her hair while his dick is in her mouth.

She really cannot stop thinking about Wyatt fucking her and she’s had enough. She needs him. Now. Not in a few hours when they leave.

“Wy,” she says to get his attention. He hums as he sips his new drink. “Wyatt.” He finally puts his glass down and looks at her. She glances around the table. “I, um … need to use the bathroom. Can you show me where it is?”

“It’s back there,” Wyatt replies as he points over his right shoulder. “Big neon sign that says ‘restroom’. Can’t miss it.”

With a pout, she tries again. This time with intention in her voice. “Wyatt,” she sternly says. “Please come with me to the bathroom because there are so many people here right now and I don’t want to go alone.”

Wyatt turns his full attention to her and she raises her eyebrows. A lightbulb goes off in his head and he gets up from his seat. “Right, okay,” he stammers. “Let’s go.”

Happy that he finally got the idea, she hops down from her seat at the table and takes the hand that Wyatt offers her. Neither of them says a word to anyone at the table. They just walk toward the bathroom.

Luckily, it’s a single stall bathroom with a lock on the door. She checks her surroundings to make sure no one is looking before dragging Wyatt into the ladies room behind her.

She presses Wyatt against the door to shut it and clicks the lock so no one walks in. Wyatt takes her face in his hands and crashes their lips together in a heated kiss. He ravishes her mouth with his and it only makes things worse for her. She whines into his mouth and he swallows the sound.

It’s probably because she’s drunk, but she’s very turned on right now. With every kiss, she feels the need to cross her legs just for some pressure on her core.

Her fingers trail down his chest and torso until they land on the belt around Wyatt’s waist. Without looking, she undoes the clasp and unbuttons his pants. Wyatt groans when her hand slides into his boxers and wraps her hand around his hardening dick. With a flick of her wrist, she begins to pump his cock.

Wyatt hums before he breaks the kiss. He rests his forehead against her and pants, “Baby, I cannot come in these pants because I don’t know how much longer we will be out for and I don’t want to sit around with come in my pants.”

“No one said anything about coming in pants,” she says. Wyatt is about to say something but she drops to her knees on the tile floor of the bathroom before he could get a word out. It’s probably cleaner than the men’s bathroom floor but it’s still a bathroom floor.

She pulls his pants and boxers down until they pool at his ankles. His cock springs free and nearly hits her in the face. She sucks her bottom lip between her teeth as she takes him in her hand. Wyatt leans back against the door and mumbles something under his breath.

After a few slow pumps, she wraps her lips around the leaking tip. Wyatt’s fingers slide into her hair and he grips her locks very lightly as she takes him in her mouth. She is careful not to choke herself on his dick so she has to use her hand to make up some of what doesn’t fit in her mouth.

Wyatt lets out soft pants as she begins to suck him. The back of his head softly hit the door and he looks down at her with his eyes. “Fuck,” he sighs. “Never thought that I would see you on your knees for me in a bar bathroom.”

She pulls off of him and wipes away some saliva that has started to roll down her chin. “I would get on my knees for you literally anywhere,” she admits. Wyatt smiles and she wraps her lips around him again with a wink.

Soft pants pass Wyatt’s lips the closer he gets to his orgasm. His fingers run through her hair and she hums around him. One hand rests at the base of his dick and the other rests in his thigh above his knee to keep herself steady.

Heat pools at her core the longer she stays on her knees. She can only imagine what she looks like on her knees on the bathroom floor of a bar. Her knees do begin to hurt from the tile floor at some point but she tries to pay no mind to the pain.

She occasionally flicks her wrist to pump what she can’t fit in her mouth. Her cheeks hollow out as she sucks since she knows that’s one of Wyatt’s favorite things. It causes a moan to pass Wyatt’s lips and he quickly covers his mouth with his hand in case anyone is outside the door.

The only time she alerts Wyatt to the fact that her knees hurt is when she shifts her weight and winces around his dick.

He looks down at her and asks, “Do your knees hurt?” She nods in response. “Come here, baby.” She pulls off his dick with a soft pop and slowly gets to her feet. Wyatt has her by the waist so she doesn’t stumble and fall.

When she’s fully on her feet and finds her balance, Wyatt leans down and kisses her deeply. His tongue parts her lips and she hums. Her hands find his hair and his hands slide down to her butt. Wyatt squeezes once then picks her up by the back of her thighs.

She squeals in surprise, wrapping her arms around his neck. Wyatt sets her down on the counter next to the sink. She leans against the mirror behind her but keeps her arms wrapped around his neck.

Wyatt smiles at her and wraps his pointer fingers into the thin straps of her dress. He’s always been a boob guy so this doesn’t surprise her at all. He leans into her and presses light kisses to her breasts. He gropes one while he gives attention to the other, then alternates. Moans pass her lips and she leans her head back against the mirror.

“Wyatt,” she whines. “I need you. Please, baby.”

He snaps his head up when she talks. “Oh, you’re so nerdy that you want me to fuck you in a bar bathroom,” he comments with a sly smirk on his face. “Being legal is great.”

She pushes his shoulder. “Wyatt Johnston, fuck me before I go find one of your single teammates who wouldn’t hesitate,” she blurts out. “Quit yapping.”

With a laugh, he pushes the bottom of her already short skirt over her butt so the entire dress sits around just her waist. “You’re all mine, pretty girl,” Wyatt tells her. “Your threat is nothing more than a bark. I fuck you too good for you to go find someone else.”

She rolls her eyes because she knows he’s right. She’ll always come back to him, no matter what.

He pushes her black lace panties over and she presses her lips into a line. She shivers when the cool air hits her wet core. She kicks off her shoes and puts one of her heels on the counter so Wyatt has easy access because her legs have already fallen apart.

Wyatt leans into her and catches her lips in a deep kiss. She gasps against his lips when she feels him run his tip through her soaked folds. She grips the collar of his shirt as he pushes into her. "God, Wyatt," she mumbles. "Fuck."

He nips at her bottom lip as he slowly pushes himself into her. Her legs begin to shake with anticipation as Wyatt deepens the kiss and bottoms out in her at the same time. She hums and Wyatt swallows the noise.

After a second or waiting so she can adjust to him, Wyatt begins to roll his hips against hers. She cries out and he nips at her bottom lip. “Baby, you have to be quiet,” he reminds her. “Anyone could walk by and hear you.”

She nods in response and pulls back so she can look at her boyfriend. Wyatt’s lips are swollen and kiss bruised. His eyes are dark with lust and hazy from the alcohol he has been drinking over the last few hours. His hair is a mess from her running her fingers through it. He’s so pretty and so disheveled at the same time.

He splays his hands on either side of her on the counter to keep his balance. She keeps her arms around his neck so she doesn’t fall off the counter.

If anyone would catch her falling off a counter because of sex, it’s Wyatt. Wyatt would be the one to catch her.

His speed picks up after a minute and he move as deep into her as he can at this angle. She has to bite her lip to keep herself from getting too loud in case anyone walks by the bathroom or comes knocking. Wyatt lets out soft pants as he moves. A layer of sweat forms on both of them since it’s so hot in the tiny room.

One of Wyatt’s hands eventually slithers down between them and he find her clit. She cries out but Wyatt quiets her with a kiss. He plays with the little bundle of nerves and her entire body shakes as she tries to delay her own orgasm.

“Wyatt,” she groans against his mouth. “Wyatt, baby.”

“I have you,” he tells her between kisses. “Let go. I can feel you clenching so I know you want to come for me.”

His pace slows but he continues to slam into her every time he thrusts. She hums and feels the knot in her stomach threaten to come undone.

Wyatt flicks her clit and she comes with a squeal since she can’t shout. She feels her entire body clench around him. He pulls out of her quickly and comes all over her thighs and core. She pulls him in for messy kisses as they come down from their highs. Wyatt slouches against her and she slouches against the mirror. The kisses are hot and open-mouthed as they recover.

The kisses slow and she smiles against his lips. Wyatt pulls back and looks at her. She can only imagine what they look like right now. Sweaty, half naked, and blissed out in a bar bathroom. Come is rolling down her thighs.

“God, I love you,” Wyatt tells her.

“Oh, now you tell me after we fucked in a bar bathroom on your birthday and your come is all over my thighs,” she teases with a smile on her face. Wyatt laughs. “I love you too. Let me go pee and clean myself up if you love me though.”

He pecks her lips one more time before she reaches over and grabs a handful of paper towels to clean her legs. She fixes her dress when Wyatt helps her down then goes to pee because she’s not catching a UTI from having sex in a public bathroom. He cleans up the counter and uses the hand soap to wash it down.

When she’s done peeing, she helps Wyatt fix his shirt. She fixes his hair before fixing her hair. She can’t do a thing about the marks on her knees from the tile floor so she knows that if someone sees them, she’s gonna get teased for it and Wyatt will never hear the end of his from his teammates.

After they decide they’re decent enough, they sneak out of the bathroom.

Music still blares from every corner of the bar when they make their way back to the table. They take their seats and sip their drinks like they didn’t just fuck in the bathroom.

Unfortunately, someone did notice they left.

Logan leans on the table between them. “So, wanna tell me which bathroom you two got freaky in so I know if I have to wait to pee or not?” he asks.

“Shut up,” Wyatt retorts. “It’s supposed to be fun turning 21 so I’m gonna have the time of my life tonight. Also, it’s not my fault that my girlfriend is hot.”

He shudders and Tyler laughs. “You two are insane,” he comments. “Risky considering you’re a NHL player, Johnny.”

“I’d take a thousand risks for her,” Wyatt says. “End of story.”

“Yeah, we’re gonna be attending a wedding next year,” Jamie says after he swallows a sip of his drink. “Two years tops.”

She smiles behind her glass because she knows Wyatt is planning to propose at some point. She has no idea when but maybe Jamie isn’t wrong about the two years tops.

3 + 1 - sidney crosby

notes: i hope you guys like this, first fic for 'it's the most wonderful time of the year', had lots of fun making this!!

likes are good, reblogs are better <3

part of naqia's end of the year celly!

gif not mine

i. (1994)

you'd known sidney your entire life. one of the first memories you had with him was fighting him for the last hockey stick in the store.

well, it wasn't the last hockey stick. but it was the last one of all the types you used to play. it just so happened to be the only one sidney used.

after a game of rock, paper, scissors (you won), sidney got mad and demanded a best of three. maybe it was the defiant look in his eyes at only seven years old, but you decided he could have the stick.

"are you sure?" he asked, now looking hesitant about taking the stick.

you nodded, "i'm sure. they'll get one of the sticks i use in a few days. you can have this one. i'll just steal my brother's stick until then."

sidney grinned, "thanks, y/n."

you smiled back at him, feeling the start of a friendship. you'd lived near him your entire life, but you'd only begun talking to him because of hockey.

"just don't forget to send me a card when you go to one of your tourneys," you told him.

you and sidney laughed over that, before heading back home with your parents. it was after this day that you began to say hi to each other in the halls of school, that you decided to pair up for projects, that you became friends.

over the two months it took until christmas morning, you forgot about what you'd told him. but sidney didn't forget his promise.

and it was on december twenty fifth, that you received a post card in the mail from some place in quebec. a seven year old sidney had tried his best to make the letters look pretty, writing on the side, 'merry christmas, and thanks for the hockey stick, y/n. it helped me win!'

you peered in the envelope, finding a picture of sidney hoisting his giant hockey trophy. you smiled at that.

even though he was so far away, it felt like you were celebrating christmas together.

--

ii. (2004)

'sidney patrick crosby, you have got to be kidding me! you have a huge hotel, you're in finland, and you've got some of the best people with you. and yet, you're saying you wished you were here playing pond with the rest of us? you're crazy. anyways, make sure you score a goal or something, and have lots of fun! honestly, not scoring is fine if you have fun. good luck at the world juniors! i'll be cheering you on from back home :))'

you signed off the letter, sealing it and placing it to the side to deliver later.

at seventeen years old, sidney had become the only under-18 player at this year's world junior tournament for team canada. it was a thing to celebrate, but sidney was upset he would be missing the town's annual christmas pond hockey game.

you and him had played together on the same team for the last nine years, winning every time. this was the first time he wouldn't be here to help your team defend the title.

but that was okay, you thought as you packed up your christmas gear and made your way to the pond.

because sidney was going to play on your t.v. tomorrow, at the national level. it was his first time playing for canada, and you knew he was excited for that.

he just wasn't a fan of missing the small things.

it was why he'd began sending you letters and post cards as he moved around for tournaments and hockey games. they were cute souvenirs, and you didn't mind sending him a letter back.

you just wished he could've been here to celebrate christmas with the rest of you.

--

iii. (2009 - pretend ft was invented a year earlier)

"merry christmas, love."

you smiled, "merry christmas sid."

sidney adjusted his phone, fixing the facetime so you could see him better. you laughed as he struggled for a minute, finally getting a proper angle.

"don't move!" you said. "there, perfect. now your entire face is on my screen."

he laughed as he shook his head to himself.

the two of you had been friends for thirteen years before he worked up the courage to ask you out. and for the last two years of your relationship had been amazing. there were ups, like seeing him win the stanley cup, and there were downs, like seeing him take some uncalled for hits.

but you were happy. and so was sid.

the two of you had planned to celebrate christmas together in pittsburgh, until a family emergency had you coming back to nova scotia last minute.

everything turned out fine, but it was just too late to get a ticket back to pittsburgh.

even so, you and sid had found a way to work around that.

the two of you spent most of the day on the phone with each other, talking and laughing together. it wasn't what either of you had planned, but you made it enjoyable.

it was a great christmas.

--

iv. (2012)

"sidney, will you get down here already?"

"i'm coming, i'm coming," he called from upstairs.

you sighed, waiting for your husband to get up and get downstairs. christmas morning was the one morning you were happy to get out of bed, but it was also the one morning sid wanted to sleep in.

sam, sidney's dog, came down the stairs, curling around by the christmas tree as he waited for sid with you.

a few minutes passed before sidney made his way downstairs, eyes half closed but a sleepy smile plastered on his face to greet you.

"good morning, love," he pressed a kiss to your forehead. "merry christmas."

"merry christmas," you smiled, pressed a kiss to his jaw. "we eating breakfast first or presents first?"

"mmm, breakfast," sid decided.

"i knew you were going to say that," you laughed, pulling him along to the kitchen.

you'd already prepared breakfast before he came down. some eggs, sausage and bread. it was a good way to pass the time as you waited for sid to get downstairs.

the two of you took your seats, laughing as you ate breakfast and discussed how far you'd gone in life together.

"you almost tripped on the ice," he reminded you.

"no one told me i had to go out on the ice after you guys won," you argued. "i was so excited over you guys winning the stanley cup, i didn't even notice i was being ushered to the ice until i took my first step."

sid laughed as the two of you slowly made your way to the living room.

"here, open my present first," he said, rummaging under the tree to pull out a long, rectangular box.

the two of you had started the tradition of opening all of your sentimental gifts before the other cute ones. and even though you wanted to go first this year, you supposed it was alright if sid got this one.

you unwrapped the box, pulling out a familiar hockey stick. one that you'd given sidney eighteen years ago.

"oh my god," you muttered, tears building up in your eyes.

"i found it in my parent's garage last summer," he shrugged a little. "i remembered how badly you wanted it. and even though it's too small now, i thought you'd like the memory."

"i love it," you grinned, wiping the corners of your eyes. "it's absolutely perfect. i'm putting this up next to that picture of you holding up the trophy."

sid laughed at your response, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

"you can do whatever you like with it."

you put the stick to the side, your hands slightly shaky as you grabbed another, much smaller, box. "here. now open my present."

sid took the box from your hands, unwrapping it and opening it. he stared at the contents of the box, unable to form a sentence as he looked between the box and you.

"you -- this -- seriously?" his eyes shined as he stared at you.

you nodded, feeling the tears build up yourself. "we're having a baby."

sid laughed, pulling you in for a hug. "oh my god, this is amazing. a baby, you and me."

the two of you held each other that day, celebrating christmas together.

Video Games

Summary: You and Gavi spend a cozy Saturday evening playing FIFA against each other at home :)

Pairing: Pablo Gavi x You

Warnings: none/ pure fluff <3

"Amor, I have to play football seven days a week already..." Pablo whined but you really wanted to play FIFA together so you can show him your new skills.

"Pleeeaase Gavinho!!!" you gave him your best puppy dog eyes and he sighed nodding his head making you jump and kiss his lips in excitement.

"Alright, which team will you be?" he asked while taking the controller and smiling at your childish excitement while turning on the game.

"Barça ofc!" you said pretending to be offended with his question and he raised his hands in surrender turning on your controller and giving it to you.

"If I win we spend the rest of the night cuddling" Pablo said while picking up Barça as well deciding to make some changes to the line up.

"And if I win the whole internet needs to know who has better skills" you say with a proud smile sitting down and waiting for him to finish so you can start the game.

"Damn it! You've gotten better" Pablo said and you smirked nodding your head and stealing a ball from him rushing towards the opposite goal.

"No...no...no!" he said running after you but none of his players could catch you if they tried.

"Goal! Wooo!" you cheered while he kept a cold face although thinking to himself how cute you looked all passionate about something. (gif)

"Lucky beginning" he said and you kissed his nose picking up your controller and continuing the game.

You gave two more by the time first half came and he avoided your eyes waiting for the game to load for the second half.

"Awe, I can let you win if you want Gavinho?" you tease poking his cheek and he looks at you giving you a challenging look before the game resumed.

He did score one goal in the second half but right before the last minute you got another one in, ending with score 4:1.

"I think we now know who got mad skills, Mr. Barça Golden Boy" you said turning off the controller and putting them away while he sat there with a big pout.

"Awe, my big baby. What's up huh?" you said straddling his lap and snaking your arms around your boyfriend's shoulders while his arms wrapped around your waist and he pulled you closer.

"I really wanted those cuddles.." he mumbled into your neck and you smiled wide running your hands through his messy brown curls earning a groan from him.

"You're so cute, mi amor. You first need to tell the world who has best FIFA skills and then you can get all the cuddles you want, deal?" you say and he looks up a smile appearing back on his face which made you happy. You leaned down to peck his lips quickly before pulling away.

You took your phone out ready to film the video while he kept you on his lap and tried hiding his face into your neck which made you giggle.

"The poor baby doesn't know how to lose...did you lose against me Mr. Gavi?" you mock trying to move but all you could capture was his face stuffed into your neck.

"You lost.." he lied and you moved more forcing him to look at the camera with a charming smile. You definitely understood why he became such a catch, he was defiantly so photogenic.

"You lost! Tell people who's got real mad skills!" you say but he kept denying trying to tickle you but you stopped him as he grabbed his phone starting to film you as well.

"Yes I lost...My girl's got real mad FIFA skills. Are you happy now?" he said and you smirked proudly nodding your head turning off your camera but he kept on recording. You posted a video on your story and tagged him.

"Amor?" he said and you looked up from your phone noticing that camera was still in your face so you gave him a confused look.

"Huh?" you said and he smiled at your adorable confused face.

"Eres linda bebe" he said and you blushed hard now hiding your own face into his neck as he ended the video posting it on his story with a big red heart.

"I'm gonna go make us some hot coco and then we can cuddle? Want to pick a movie mi amor?" you say after pulling away and he nodded smiling wide that you will still give him cuddles even though he lost.

While you were away, he took a chance to post a picture on Instagram tagging you in it ofc.

"I love you so much, did you know that?" you say standing at the door frame with two mugs of hot coco in your hands and he put his phone away opening his arms.

"Te amo muito! Come here cuddle bug!" he said and you giggled putting the mugs on the nightstand before rushing on top of him with a laugh.

"I let you score than one goal btw.." you say and you both burst out in laughter while getting comfortable to spend the rest of the evening carefree in bed.

Can you do 2. “Do you know you're pretty” With John Marino please??

You could feel the excitement rolling off of John in waves as he met you at your apartment after the game seven win against the Rangers.

You had gotten a ride with Ryleigh to the game instead of dropping John off like you normally did and you were seriously regretting it as you waited for him to get home.

“Hey, beautiful.” He gives you a sweet smile as he walks in wearing his suit, his curls still wet from his post game shower. “How was t-“

You fling yourself at him, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him down so you can kiss him fiercely. His hands immediately go to your waist, pulling you into him so he can kiss you deeper.

“Two shots on goal and two assists!?” You gasp once you finally pull away from him to catch your breath. “I’m so fucking proud of you, Johnny.”

He grins and rests his forehead against yours, still holding you tight to him. “Thank you for being there for me.”

“I’ll always be here to support you, bub.” You promise before kissing his nose. “I really want to show you how proud I am…” Your drop to your knees slowly, allowing your hands to run down his legs as you go.

“Y/n…” a blush rises to his cheeks but he doesn’t try to stop you as your fingers begin to undo his belt.

“You’re so pretty like this.” You say as you look up at him from your knees. It’s so easy to get him worked up sometimes and you absolutely love it. “Do you know you’re pretty?”

Your name falls off his lips again just as you’re about to unzip his pants. You look up at him with wide eyes and are surprised to see the look of pure lust on his face. “Baby, I don’t know if I can be gentle with you tonight. Not after…” He trails off and you realize that he’s still hyped up from the adrenaline.

Your tongue darts out to lick your lips as you smile up at him. “Then don’t be gentle, John.” You unzip his pants and then in one swift motion, free his member from his boxers. “Have your way with me.”

This post and your answer made me think. I don't have an opinion about their PR team when it comes to this. I liked what they did for the album reveal and no idea about the rest but I do think fandom usually uses 1D or Harry as a measuring bar and Louis going indie doesn't fit that criteria. And I do agree that bbg is the kind of mess no PR tram would want to tackle if they can avoid it nor do I think Louis wants/needs more people knowing about it. Yes there would be NDAs but still.

But talking about the documentary it does feel it's something not related to BMG, just a Louis thing. Is LTHQ staffed mainly by BMG? Because they wouldn't work on the films promo and that feels like the issue here. Like this should be mainly be promoted by Louis and his people (not BMG) and it's sort of falling through the cracks. As if everyone thought it was the others responsibility. *shrugs*.

In any case, we'll see how much and what promo they want to make. Presale tickets is something only fans will want to buy and I'm not even sure the casual fan will want to go to the cinemas for it. It feels like they'd wait for streaming services.

It kind of sucks all of this but in the end we should remember that it isn't our job to promote Louis. We're here to enjoy his music and the documentary. The rest should be done by the people paid for it.

Have a good Tuesday!

Ooms fan xx

OOMS anon, you didn’t lead with who you were and I read it and was like „my god I have some wonderfully well spoken anons don’t I? Another one? Wow“ hahaha glad to have you back!

I think LTHQ is managed by Louis‘ management, Seven 7 Management (Matt Vines), so they would be in charge of the promo for documentary.

BMG‘s marketing team would be in charge of Album promo (probably in collaboration with management‘s team (?)).

Simon Jones PR is exclusively handling his PR, meaning statements, organising interviews etc. In collaboration with management and BMG, so I don’t see them having a hand in AOTV promo besides creating the press releases and coordinating interviews and articles. They are responsible for suggesting the stunts depending on what they’re trying to achieve, and Management in collaboration with SJ PR is doing the actual handling, imo.

So I agree, I think that because LTHQ (Management) is on its own for AOTV and doesn’t get more people power from the label, they’re understaffed (LinkedIn says 23 people globally and 8 in UK - don’t forget they have other clients, too) and not capable of handling the whole promo for the doc, also bc it’s a different kind of promo what they’ve done before (music, streaming, gaming).

Or maybe it’s all an elaborate plan I can’t see the goal of rn to do shitty promo lol

Stuff I was gonna add to the Ichigo post but didn't. Blog time woooooooo.

Next year is going to be very showa era centric for me I think. I've still got ZX and Amazon in the pipeline. OG Rider 1 and 2 are gonna get some love. I still have vul eagle but I need to redo alot on that before I wear it. Honestly I might redo the chest on To Q Ichigo too just so it looks better. Also I've been buying peps for stuff I don't want full 3D printed helmets for just yet and uhhhhhhh. I am doing my first ultra very soon apparently! I was hoping to do Jack but I didn't buy the suit for it while it was still up so uhhhh. I got one of those print suits for cheap. The Tiga ones always look good so I figured it was worth a shot for under 20$. So the original Ultra it is!!! Which is exciting, I'm always happy to give showa era heroes love after all. I'd do Seven too if there were printsuits but, nope. Just his son and I'm not cool enough to do Zero. Sourcing suits for Ultras that live up to my minds eye is hard, so naturally going the cheapest possible option is the only way I'm getting my foot in the door for that. Will I upgrade to a printed helmet once I get more space for helmets? Yeah probably. My big thing going into next year is to wear what I can from the backlog, focus more on rider cosplay, and do what I can to stick to my modular cosplay goals. Hibiki, Agito, ZX and Amazon are my big focus for right now. BUT; and I never said as much on any socials, my goal of one ranger from every 90's sentai is also going pretty well. I have the bare bone basics ready for Red Hawk, already did tiger ranger, did shishi and ryuuranger. And for Kakuranger I'm working on ninja black. But I uh, am also realistically doing Red too for that. Besides thatttttt. Mega Silver is in the pipeline. Which is to say, Stick sold me old helmets again so I have ninja black, mega silver, time green, and gosei red coming. Ontop of a kit of ninja red he bjorked I need to pay him for still. For the Kakurangers I'm doing the suits by hand, silver I'm buying a cheap pre-done zentai of now that I have the option for that. Might do the same for gosei red just because stretch fabric is a pain. Time Green I'm just doing fosshape for the chest on and calling it a day on the metalic green I already have. Filling out the rest of the 90s will be hard depending how I actually feel about the ohrangers (probably doing green). Carranger is probably gonna be blue, and I'll figure out gingaman when I get there. I passed on a gingablue helmet because I'd want the same nylon I already use for my reds, and that's more then I'm willing to put in right now. As for non tokusatsu stuff it's just. Stuff I also needed contacts for. Little bit of spidey ideas. Short jacket star lord, or just long jacket again. Probably both honestly. And I've had MK Reptile in the closet for like two years. That's gonna be my summer default if it's friggin 90 all season long again. Anything else will be determined by halfbaked desires and spirit halloween clearance. Lion Maru if I can get a good base going for it. Some indy video game stuff maybe. More obscure literal who japanese super hero stuff if I can muster it. We shall see~.

Hi @ila-appreciationweek 

It’s been an absolute pleasure writing different stuff for the seven days. It helped me keep my creative juices flowing and I got to write for something I’m very passionate about.

Anyways, this post is about the two fics I sent for day 7 (not the third one I sent), and they’ve been living in my brain rent free ever since I thought about them that I just had to write down all my thoughts about them both.

Fair warning that this post is fairly lengthy and very self-indulgent and probably doesn’t even make any sense. Read at your own risk. I will also be referring to the three MCs I speak about with the names I gave them in my playthroughs for the sake of simplicity. (Devon - Jasper. Harper is still Harper. Rowan - Violet. Villain!Rowan - Sumire)

Alternate Anchor AU

This AU refers to the villain path. Right before Sumire sacrifices Jasper as the anchor, she betrays Matthias and uses him as the anchor and takes the former shadow ghost prisoner. This triggers a lot more hatred and anger from the survivors and other crews and they still want revenge against her, but with the added goal of trying to save the resurrected boy.

I don’t have a general storyline planned out for this AU but I do have a few things in mind:

- I might consider adding Violet in, but instead of being a Power creature in a human body, she’s just a regular human who gets dragged into the revenge business. I like to imagine she also has a grudge against Sumire for something she did to her which is why she wants to bring her down.

- A rescue mission in a castle, with lots of action, sadness and general cruelty from Sumire all around. It succeeds in the end but things can be very difficult.

- Before the rescue mission, I like to imagine there could be a unique mechanic where you can choose who you want to be apart of the mission. A sort of Heist: Monaco thing but not really. You can choose a maximum of two people from each crew from the three books. If the ILITW MC is Redfield and has a LI whose alive, the LI will join no matter what but won’t take up a slot, and likewise for the Harper if they’re still around though you can refuse the LI’s offer to join for Harper. It doesn’t really matter who you choose but there will be scene variations for who you choose and some difficulty involved for every combination.

- A beach breather episode scene for all the crews. Just relaxation with no catches. The dinner party/Lake Day/homecoming for this AU.

- All three MCs going to confront Sumire on their own and getting to say some final farewells to their LIs and/or friends.

- Before the final confrontation against Sumire, she could trap them in the scenarios where their lives is at the most danger. (Are You Scared? game for the ILITW crew, the battle against Josephine’s monsters for the ILB group and the battle with their inner fears for the ILW people.

- A hero path and a villain path. The former you can customise a new MC to take on the villain, or you can continue the villain path and continue playing as the villain.

- You can succeed on either path or fail. The good and bad endings will be dependant on which path you take.

I love this AU but I don’t really know if I can branch it out into a full story or not. I could try, but idk. We’ll see if I do want to write this out.

Anyways, next up...

Survivor Jane AU

Title says it all. Instead of killing Jane, Redfield simply kicks her out along with a few others (Ava, Andy, Dan and Lily) and keeps the rest as his ‘friends’. Jane is the new protagonist here and will have a nerve score alongside her friends who also got kicked out.

As for the rest who got kept in the ruins (Noah, Lucas, Stacy and Jasper), I don’t believe they would have nerve scores. For one, they would be out of the story for a good amount of time aside from flashback scenes, and won’t have enough time build up nerve so they can survive. Dan in the original story still had time for his nerve to build up so he has a chance of survival while here, if they had nerve scores, it’d probably be impossible to ensure they survive the final confrontation.

Anyways, let’s talk about story changes and how each chapter will differ from the original.

-

Chapter 1 would more or less remain the same with a few changes since it starts from Jane’s perspective. Her and Connor’s meeting will probably be different since they know what it’s like to lose a sibling and would probably recognize each other. Everyone’s nerve drops will remain the same when the chapter ends.

-

Chapter 2 will also be heavily unchanged with the exceptions of getting rid of some scenes from the original (such as Lucas’s and maybeeeee the locker scene with Cody and Jocelyn). The flashback scene will remain the same. Dan would still be in the woods, and this time Ava/Andy will want to remain with Jane to rescue him while the other two will be hesitant. Jane will get the premium option of choosing whether to recruit none, one or both of them for the rescue mission and that’s about it.

-

Chapter 3 is where things will differ. Jane and Connor recognises each other and Connor asks Jane why she’s in the hardware store. Instead of guessing who his sister is, Jane will have to come up with a lie to convince Connor not to worry about her. Get it right and Connor will drop the subject, get it wrong and he gets concerned and suspicious, but he lets her off the hook for now. Lily can get the flashlight (if she came, if she doesn’t then the option to get the flashlight will be removed) and Jane can get the barbed wire bat before they go into the woods to find Dan and possibly their other friends as well. They manage to find and save him but not the others and had to bring him out of the woods before they get attacked. Before the chapter ends, Redfield will be seen looking at them with the mad sprite before disappearing back into the trees.

-

Chapter 4 will probably remain the same but add in a scene where Jane is arguing with her mother about last night and maybe add in a scene where the remaining friends try to figure things out and what their next move should be. Also the scene where Hilda can be taken care of won’t happen (sorry!)

-

Chapter 5 will also remain heavily unchanged, take out the scene with Lucas and Mr. Cooper and Jane will be the one to adopt the crow from the last chapter. Both of the premium scenes with Andy and Connor will remain the same, but with Connor there’ll be a few changes in dialogue between Jane and Connor. With the party thing, there’ll be no blackmail or revenge since Stacy’s not around and instead Britney will actually want to host a party and begrudgingly invites the crew to the party at the beginning of chapter 6 just so she can be close to Lily (the headache thingy remains the same)

-

Chapter 6 things remain unchanged for the most part. The flashback scene is still unchanged. There’ll be no scenes with Lucas for obvious reasons, and instead in its place will be the friends in someone's car on their way to the hospital. They would talk about what happened in the past and if there’s still hope of their friends still being alive and if they’re mad at them for not saving them when they had the chances to do so. 

When they get to the hospital, Jane discovers the kitten when it comes up to her and can adopt her. At the hospital, things remain the same until the option comes up where everyone can see Dan’s past messages. His texts remain the same aside from the ones with Stacy and at the end there’ll be a difference. In addition to wanting to prove that Redfield isn’t real, he also wants to see if his friends are still alive since he’s been having thoughts about them and he wonders if they’re still around. Everything else goes the same.

-

Chapter 7, the flashback scene is still the same. Jane can dress up fancy for the party and all the nerve checks for the friends will remain the same except for those who aren’t around. The walk scene with Noah will also be taken out and instead be Jane reminiscing about the past and her relationship with her brother. The Are You Scared? scene will go the same and everyone including Connor will leap to Jane’s defense when Cody starts to get mad at her. Lucas’s and Stacy’s diamond scenes will be replaced by a diamond scene with Lily. At the end of the chapter, Cody’s body will be seen outside of Jane’s window, having several claw and bite marks on his body.

-

Chapter 8, the beginning with Jocelyn and Ava remains the same, as for the scene where Noah reminisces about him and Jane, it’ll be Jane opening up to one of the friends about a memory of her going to find Noah after he ran away. Jane goes to confront Redfield and she also demands him to let her friends go once he reveals that they’re still alive. The rest of the chapter remains the same.

-

Chapter 9, the flashback scene will remain the same except it’ll happen in Jane’s perspective. She returns to her house where she’s chewed out by her mother and an argument ensues. The rest of the chapter goes the same.

-

Chapter 10, the flashback scene is the same except at the end where Jane repeats over and over again she’s not scared and Redfield kicks her out, followed by Ava, Andy, Dan and Lily shortly after. They try to get back in but Redfield refuses to let them. Cut out the scenes with Stacy and Lucas (along with their premium scenes) and have them replaced with scenes with Ava, Andy and Lily’s lives getting ruined by Redfield being an ass, Lily will get a premium scene with Jane here. The rest of the chapter goes the same.

-

Chapter 11, Cora will advise the crew to get their friends out of the ruins before they do the ritual to banish Redfield, since I believe that if Redfield gets trapped, so does anyone else who happen to be inside the ruins when the ritual is finished. They go to the hardware store where Jane and Connor can talk things out and can get the option to recruit Connor as an ally for the upcoming confrontation, which will make things easier and may also provide a nerve boost for Jane. Lily can get the pole saw and once everyone’s ready, they go to the woods to fight Redfield and get their friends back once and for all. 

The fight’s difficulty would depend on the friends’ nerves scores and how many weapons you purchase, but it’s still possible to win without diamond options, you just have to be careful. Jane can choose who to bring to the ruins or go alone to save their friends while everyone else tries to hold off Redfield and his minions. The ruins’ entrance would be guarded by monsters and Jane and whoever she brought with, or if she’s by her lonesome will have to pick the correct options to get past them. If no correct options are picked, the injuries will take Jane and you’ll have to start over. If all correct options are picked Jane will come out unscathed, which will make the remaining portion of the fight easier if she’s unharmed.

Once all the monsters are taken cared of, Jane enters the ruins and find her friends and her brother alive, severely pale and with minor injuries covering their grown bodies. After a tearful reunion between them, she gets them out and has the option of either trying to get them out of the woods or bring them back to the clearing so they can complete the ritual. Whichever is chosen, Jane will have to defend herself and her friends till the end. If she chooses to get them to safety, she will end up at Jasper’s childhood home and waits anxiously for the others to come back. They do and announce that the ritual was a success. They all hug each other. If she chooses to get them to the clearing, the fight will continue on and Lily and someone of Jane’s choosing (her, Andy or Ava) will recite the incantation to banish Redfield. Once they do, everyone goes back to the ruins to test it out and they find that it succeeded. Hug time once again.

I’d probably end things here, but if we were to go all the way to the end...

-

Chapter 12, things are generally the same except the former ‘friends’ will be very anxious on re-entering society in the group chat. Jane can reassure them or give them tough love. She would be with Noah and helps him through a flashback before she gets ready for homecoming. She can decide whether to bring him to homecoming or leave him be. Everything goes the same here.

-

Chapter 13, things generally go the same except with a few changes. Everyone splits off to try and find the former ‘friends’ of Redfield and they can reach them in time if they choose the correct options and save them, if they pick the wrong choices then they get taken. Everything plays out the same.

-

Chapter 14, things are generally the same except with no betrayal from Noah and instead Redfield lures everyone down the stairs by taking someone from the group. Anyone can do.

-

Chapter 15 is where things get very, very interesting.

In order to save their friends, Redfield wants them all to replay Are You Scared? and if he loses, he will never bother them again. If he wins, then he will keep the friends he kept and may kill everyone who didn’t agree to be his friend. This is where everyone’s moment of truth occurs. Ava, Andy, Lily and Dan can survive or die depending on their nerve scores.

Once everyone’s out the picture, Jane faces off against Redfield on her own. And this is where her moment of truth occurs. It’ll be similar to Harper’s moment of truth in chapter 17 of ILB. If her nerve score is high enough, she can either automatically survive or have more time to pick the correct options. If she’s at haunted or she picks all wrong options, then she would die.

The ending of the chapter will depend on who lived and who died.

If everyone who has a nerve score dies, then Redfield gets to keep the kids he kept for ten years and Mayor Green’s search party fails to locate anyone.

If at least one or a few of them survived, then they can get the friends out of the ruins and the search party finds them.

If only Jane survives, she has to bring her remaining friends out of the ruins and hugs them all and they’re found.

If everyone but Jane survives, then they all wait outside the ruins, hoping that she survived, but she doesn’t come out. She would take Redfield’s place and watch as all of her friends get found by the search party.

If everyone and Jane survives, Jane stumbles out of the ruins and embraces her friends in a huge group hug and are found by the search party and are finally safe.

-

Chapter 16 will depend on what happened in chapter 15.

If everyone with a nerve score dies, then the chapter will open up on the friends who got left behind as they suffer even more with Redfield. Hope became something they never want to feel again. Connor will be the one to speak on everyone’s behalf on the memorial later on.

The other three endings are kinda obvious (everyone who survived try to move forward and Connor/Jane speaks on behalf of whoever died in the final game) so I’m gonna skip to the last and best ending of this.

If everyone and Jane lives, then the chapter opens up on Jane greeting Noah in the morning and cooks him breakfast, stating that she’s been using his tips on cooking for the last ten years. They talk for a while until Jane decides to ask Noah about his time with Redfield and the others. He responds, saying it was horrible and the only reason none of them went crazy is because they had each other. He also says that thinking of Jane was another factor to this. They hug, Jane promising to never leave him again for as long as she lives. Their mother probably comes in and Jane decides to ignore her, dragging Noah out so he can get more used to being outside once again.

The chapter continues on with everyone else. Ava, Andy, Lily and Dan’s scenes remain the same. For Stacy, hers would be about her and Connor walking down the street eating ice cream and having a good time, trying to forget about the last ten years and trying to catch up with her brother. Connor notices this and gets her to open up.

For Lucas, he would be struggling in a class, having missed ten whole years of education and having to start high school without much experience, and probably gets attacked with memories of his time with Redfield. His teacher would notice and helps him, suggesting whether or not he would want to see the counsellor and that his mental health is more important than his studies. He responds gratefully.

For Jasper, he would be with his parents, Cid and Hilda trying to adjust to living a normal life again. He opens up to his parents about the last ten years in the end though. He also dyes his hair because I want him to.

When the memorial comes around, Jane gets to speak about all the events and can either tell the truth on what happened or agree with Mayor Green. She can also speak about Redfield if she wants and can sympathise with him or be angry with him.

Then the friends all gather up in a pizza place and reconnect over the past several years and promised each other to be there one another and never fall out of touch again.

⋆ Kendyleigh's world was ripped apart in a single night.

After being betrayed in the ugliest way possible, leaving her bloodied, frightened, and broken from grief, Kendyleigh fled into the night to get away from the people that wanted her nothing less than dead.

She had sworn to herself that she would never make the same mistake again— a mistake that exposed her most dangerous secret— but as she was hunted down by some of the most powerful people in the nation, she began to grow desperate. Fate placed her in the home of a witch, and for the first time in her life, she was offered a chance to exact her revenge on those who wronged her. Torn between the path of good and evil, Kendyleigh's decision was cemented when she was told there was a way to remove the curse that had plagued her life for centuries.

Now in over her head and blinded by rage, Kendyleigh has to figure out what kind of person she has become and what it means to trust people again.

⋆ June ‘Cutthroat’ Marlowe had built up quite a reputation for herself. Not only was she the daughter of legendary Captain Damon ‘The Marked,’ but she was the only one brave enough to wrong him and get away with it. Now fleeing for her life, June has to find a ship and a crew, and sail to wherever the map she stole from her father takes her, before he can get his hands on the treasure she’s after. 

Word travels fast, and it seems as if the seven seas were against her, as she’s being hunted down by more than just her bloodthirsty father:

Captain Bates Anderson— The British Navy Officer— who she’d outsmarted time and time again, and wants nothing more than to see her pay for the crimes she’s committed. 

The love of her life, who she had left for dead. 

This pesky pirate who just so happens to have exactly what she’s looking for.

And an ancient curse that had been following her family for years.

⋆ Jacques and Louis Monet weren't surprised when they were approached by a stranger, saying he was investigating some of the most prominent criminal masterminds in the world. They were surprised, however, to learn that he wasn't a detective.

The man went by a code name, Chaos, to conceal his identity from not only the rest of the world, but also from the group of people he had gathered to assist him in robbing the Natural History Museum in London, England.

The ragtag group of criminals banded together,-knowing nothing about each other or what their life was like before the heist- and invaded the museum of London.

The goal?

Return the items that were stolen by the British to their rightful countries (at a high price, of course), and don't get caught.

Both objectives were difficult, but as each hour passes they only get harder, especially when dealing with a building of unruly hostages, and having to undermine UK law enforcement.

The worst part, though?

Hostages keep turning up dead, and no one has the slightest clue why. They do know, that with each body they find, the deeper and deeper they're digging a hole that they aren't sure they can climb out of.

Yunho:

It was obvious to everyone, except you two, that the two of you harbor feelings for one another. They were so sure in about a month or two a new couple would be born. However, neither of you two tried to make the first move. Always waiting for each other to do it. Until, a certain duo took this matter into their hands.

The boys invited you to watch a football game with them, occupying nine seats in the front row, Mingi and Seonghwa left for a while to get snacks for everyone. You weren't much of a fan of the said sport nor the teams, but since you get to spend time with them, why not tag along? Sitting beside Yunho and chatting with him before the game starts. As Mingi and Seonghwa returned, Seonghwa's eyebrows suddenly furrowed before taking a seat.

"Has any of you seen where San and Wooyoung went?" He asks. All seven heads turned to look at the two empty seats besides Jongho. The maknae shrugging his shoulders. "Maybe took photos? They'll be back before the game starts." Shrugging their shoulders, they all took and passed the popcorn to one another. But the two never returned back to their seats and no one even seemed to notice.

"And for the mean time, let's get it on with our first couple for theee kiss cam!" The game announcer spoke, as you and Yunho happily ate the popcorn, the camera man spun his camera to the two of you.

"Our first couple of the game season" Shouts and hollers errupted around you two. Jongho almost spat his drink and Mingi laughing and clapping at the same time. Everyone in the stadium were expecting you two to kiss, however, you both held your arms crossed. The stadium suddenly booing and then turns to pick another random couple in the audience.

But that didn't stop there, everytime there was a short break, the camera man would point at the two of you but either of you two would always cross your arms. The audience kept booing whenever you two did that. As the game resumes, Yunho suddenly fell quiet and mindlessly watched the game before him. His cheeks suddenly turning pink with the thoughts running inside his mind. As the three minute break came once more, so did the kiss cam, as the camera man points at the two of you once again.

"Will our first couple finally kiss or will they reject us again?" Yunho finally took on his courage and leaned closer to you, placing a hand on your cheek to place his lips on yours. The crowd cheers loud like a team scored a goal in the post. Leaning away, the two of you stared at each other with flushed, bright pink faces.

Somewhere in the stadium, San and Wooyoung each pulled out a hundred dollars from their wallets and handed it to the camera man responsible.

"It was nice working with you, kind sir." San said before the two snickered, walking away.

Yeosang:

Although you got along with everyone, there is this closeness between you two that made the rest of the boys conclude that you two like each other. Yeosang may ghost everyone in the groupchat, but when it comes to you, he immediately types his reply back.

When the boys asked you to come along with them to watch a soccer game, you agreed to. Why? It means more time with Yeosang! Although you would never say it out loud, you did have a small crush on your best friend. He may be your best friend, but there's no one like him who makes you feel happy in this world. You were thankful for him for that.

As the boys lined up to get snacks, Yeosang immediately came to your side to ask you what you wanted to have. Immediately shaking your head, you wanted to pay for your own items. But Yeosang insisted that it was his treat. You two kept bickering on who will pay until finally Hongjoong turned around and gave you his black card.

"Treat yourselves something nice, love birds." He said before walking away, joining Yunho and Mingi. Blushing at what Hongjoong called you two, you proceed to mention your orders.

As you two joined with the others, taking a seat near the aisle. As the game starts, Yeosang removed his leather jacket and handed it to you, telling you to place it on your legs seeing it as you were wearing a skirt. As the game starts, the boys were on the edge of their seats, watching the game intently. However, you were only busy drinking your yogurt smoothie.

"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for" The announcer spoke through the microphone and the screen changed to its pink screen with a red heart. The words "kiss cam" in the middle. As it disappears, it was you and Yeosang who turned out to be the first couple. Everyone in the audience was shouting "kiss!", even the boys were looking at you two with huge grins on their faces, Jongho already making kissing sounds.

"Kiss her already!" Wooyoung shouted from his seat. Yeosang, who chuckled softly under his breath. Leaned in the same time as you and softly and gently, your lips collided. The popcorn in Jongho and Wooyoung's hands started popping everywhere in their seats.

Mingi:

The boys shipped you two very much. They could sense that there was something more to your friendship, however, you both denied it saying that you just "care and look out for each other". And everytime you two reason that, they would make a face or question you two seprately if you feel something more than friendship to one another. And truth be told, you two do. But, are scared to confess. Scared that your friendship would be broken because of the forming relationship.

When the boys invited you to watch a football game with them, you didn't hesitated to say yes and anticipated for the said date to watch the game with them. When Mingi saw you, he completely froze in his spot and stared at you, admiring how pretty and cute you looked. It took Yunho a few snap of his fingers to get Mingi out of his trance with you.

When the camera for the kiss cam turns to the two of you while the game took a break, everyone anticipated for the two of you to kiss, including the boys who turned to face at you two. But you two only chuckled and shook your heads, but not until the crowd starts to chant.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" the chant went on. You sank on your seat, blushing. Mingi, who's cheeks are flushed and face bright pink in color, tapped your shoulder. As you turned your head to face him, he has this look as if he was asking permission. Smiling, you leaned in and your lips collided with his. The boys' eyes widens and everyone in their seats went wild.

Jongho:

You love skinship, but he doesn't. But since its you, Jongho was slowly warming up to you BUT to you only. It still makes him cringe to show or initiate skinship with the other boys. So far, Jongho has managed to wrap his arm around you and pat your head. Anything else was still making his insides twist and turn.

So when your faces showed up at the huge screen for the kiss cam one day while all nine of you watched the football game between Ulsan Hyundai and Suwon Samsung, Jongho's face paled and yours turned into a deep color of red. As everyone in the audience, including the commentators and camera men anticipated for you two kiss, neither of you made a move. You two stayed still in your seats.

But it was you who mustered up the courage to face Jongho. While the boys laughed at their youngest, Wooyoung held Jongho by the back of his head, allowing you free access to his cheek. But Jongho bit him in his wrist. Taking the opportunity, you tapped Jongho in his shoulder and immediately leaned in to place a peck on his lips.

Instead of screaming, Jongho stared at you wide eyed. "What was that?" He asked, placing a few fingers on his lips.

"Affection" you said, blinking your eyes a few times.

"Can I have some more then?"

i love ur writing so so much!!! if possible, could you maybe do a fred weasley x reader where the reader is insecure, and thinks hes asking her out as a joke//prank? thank you so much!!<3

insecurities // fred weasley 

masterlist!

a/n: omg this request rly came for me wow. only joking, i loved it, thank u sm for sending it in!! hope u like it!! (also went a little Little Women with that love confession scene, couldn’t help myself hehe)

summary: You and Fred are hopelessly in love with each other, but you don’t believe him when he finally admits it.

(a little short one! 1.7k)

------

The sky above you was turning dark, but the game of Quidditch in front of you still roared on.

Orbs of light had been casted onto the tops of each towering stand of students, illuminating the field for miles. The cheers never dulled, the same enthusiasm seeping from everyone as when the game started. You couldn’t remember how long you had been out there, but you did know the sun was still up when it started.

You held a pair of binoculars to your eyes, watching as Fred leaned forward on his broom and hit a bludger with such force that your heart did a little jump in your chest. He flew closer to the ground, intercepting a bludger that was going straight towards Angelina. You watched the corner of his mouth lift in a smirk at the girl as she smiled at him appreciatively. Your heart sank.

You had been in love with Fred Weasley for a little over a year. You went to every one of his Quidditch matches, helped him with most of his pranks, and talked to him for hours just about every day. Yet, he was still just a friend. Your best friend.

You didn’t care if Fred liked you back, though you figured he didn’t. You could never confess your feelings for him. You hated the idea of having to be so vulnerable around him, so you kept everything you felt for him to yourself.

You couldn’t help but feel the sting of jealously, however, as Fred watched Angelina soar off towards the goal posts.

You managed to keep your enthusiasm. Your cheers nearly reached Fred’s ears, your encouragements being so loud. Hundreds of feet above you, Harry’s broom darted down, and he was diving to the ground. The crowd silenced for a moment before screams erupted. Harry flew laps in front of the stands, holding out the snitch in his harsh grip. Your eyes followed him, smile wide. You rushed off the stands, hurrying down the steps and to the field. Your eyes met Fred’s and he started towards you.

“Great game, Fred!” Angelina called from behind him.

He turned from you, walking backwards and looking at Angelina. He smiled widely at her and you watched with heavy eyes as she returned a shy smile. You couldn’t help the downturn of your lips as you watched it, watched his eyes lock onto hers for a little too long. By the time he turned back to you, you had crossed your arms over your chest and kicked up some grass from beneath your feet.

“Why the long face? We won!” he shouted, coming to wrap his arms around your frame.

He lifted you into the air and you couldn’t help the smile that snuck its way onto your lips. You placed two cautious hands on his frim shoulders, steadying yourself as he spun you.

“Fred!” you screeched, smiling widely and tilting your head to the sky.

“You stayed the whole game,” he said, putting you down but keeping his arms wrapped around you.

“Of course I did,” you replied, stating it like that was obvious.

“You had to be standing up there for at least seven hours,” Fred’s head tilted down, hit teeth trapping his bottom lip as he looked at you.

“Well I was sitting for at least three of those seven,” you quipped, smirking at him, “so, I’d say it was a fair trade.”

“Let’s go to the common room,” he said, releasing one of his arms and moving the other up to wrap around your shoulders.

“I hope you plan on showering first,” you pinched your nose, pretending to be awfully offended by the smell coming from Fred’s extended arm.

Fred released you, ducking his head down to smell his armpit. His face recoiled and he laughed with you.

The two of you fell in with the large mass of students returning to the castle, but all either of you thought about was the other.

That night, Fred had made a promise to himself to ask you out, finally. He had been in love with you for years. How could he not be? You were everything he loved in a person. His arms propped his head up on top of his pillow, and just before he drifted off to sleep he was imagining how he should ask you to be his girlfriend.

The process was difficult, he didn’t know if you’d want him to be sweet, or if you’d rather have something flashy. He was so preoccupied with the details that he hadn’t even stopped to consider you not liking him back. In the end, he decided on something perfect, something just for you.

You pulled yourself from bed with tired legs feeling sore after standing in the stands for all that time. You couldn’t imagine how sore Fred’s arms must be.

Quickly getting ready and managing to just catch lunch, you slid onto the bench next to Fred.

“Good morning,” he mumbled, voice muffled from the toast he was chewing.

“Morning,” you replied.

You rubbed the heals of your hands into your eyes, forcing what was left of exhaustion from them. You pulled a variety of foods from platters in front of you, filling your plate for lunch.

“Are you busy today?” Fred asked, finally done chewing his food.

“I don’t think so,” you responded tiredly, “why?”

“I wanted to take you somewhere,” he said, smiling shyly at you.

Your stomach filled with butterflies at his look, and you shifted your gaze to your plate.

“Okay,” Fred barely heard the mumble, but he caught it just in time for lunch to be dismissed.

The two of you stood, and he slipped his hand into yours. He dragged you away from the school, pulling you down the familiar path to the Quidditch pitch.

“Why are we going to the pitch? I was just here all day,” you whined, thinking Fred was dragging you to another one of Wood’s surprise practices.

“You’ll like it,” he didn’t turn his head back to look at you but you could hear his grin, “promise.”

You took a few rushed steps, falling in place next to him. You looked down at your intertwined hands and your heart swelled.

You two finally reached the grassy field, and Fred pulled you off to the side. He waved his wand, and a blanket appeared in front of you. He motioned for you to sit and you did. He followed your actions, sitting with his legs crossed. His hands were fiddling behind his back and before you could sneak a glance, he pulled out a small box of chocolates. He put them between you two, setting them on the ground as he opened them to you. He watched your face light up at the sight of your favorite muggle candies, and your fingers brushed his as your hand reached for a chocolate.

“Oh my gosh, Fred!” you exclaimed, taking a bite of the chocolate, “What do I get these for?”

You smiled slyly at him, expecting him to ask you for help with his next pranks.

“Well,” he started, moving his hands from the candies to twist in his lap, “if you’ll be my girlfriend you’ll get plenty more where that came from.”

You let out a forced laugh, figuring Fred was just buttering you up even more for a prank. Your laugh drifted unnaturally as you met his serious expression. Your face became stern.

“Don’t be mean, Fred,” you warned, putting the rest of the chocolate back in the box.

“What? I’m serious,” Fred answered in a defensive tone.

You couldn’t help but think Fred had figured out your crush on him. That he had invited you down here to embarrass you about it. You hated yourself for thinking it, but couldn’t help the worries.

“Stop,” you begged your voice not to crack, and it didn’t this time, but you knew it would if you had to say another thing.

“What?” Fred repeated, an awkward chuckle coming from him, “I’m asking you to be my girlfriend.”

“No you’re not,” you said, becoming angry, “this is a joke or something. George and Lee are hiding somewhere aren’t they?”

Fred’s mouth opened, his face twisted with confusion. He reached for you, but you pulled away.

“No they aren’t! What makes you think this is a joke?” Fred pleaded, still reaching for you.

“You don’t like me,” you said, your voice finally cracking, “you like Angelina.”

“Angelina?” he repeated, baffled, “What makes you think I bloody like Angelina?”

Your bottom lip jutted out as you tried not to cry in front of Fred.

“I don’t know,” you mumbled, taking a deep breath, “you always flirt with her.”

“I don’t like Angelina,” Fred sighed, finally being able to take your hands in his, “I like you. I’m in love with you.”

“You’re fucking with me,” you tried one last time, laughing shakily and looking around the field.

“I’m not!” Fred insisted.

“Are you sure?”

He looked at you like you were crazy. Like he couldn’t believe you thought he’d have any doubts about his love for you.

“Yes, Y/n, I’m sure.”

“Oh,” you squeaked out, eyes wide.

“Do you love me?” 

You couldn’t say anything, frozen in his gaze. You nodded slowly and his mouth split into a smile.

“Really?” he asked, smiling widely.

“Yeah,” you choked out, “as long as this isn’t a prank.”

Fred laughed again, and moved closer to you. His open lips met yours, and his hands cupped the side of your face. The two of you moved in sync, molding to each other’s movements. The kiss said everything you both wanted it to say. It was you cheering for Fred at every Quidditch match and him looking at you from his broom. It was you chasing after him in the halls after a prank was set off and him glancing over his shoulder just to see your smile. It was your legs resting in his lap as you both talked for hours and him twirling a piece of your hair between his fingers.

All your insecurities and reservations washed away with that kiss. You didn’t think Fred could fake something this real for a prank. His chest rose with heavy breaths from just being near you, and eventually you couldn’t stop the smile that broke the kiss.

“Believe me now?” Fred said, breathing deeply as his forehead rested against yours.

You bit your lip and nodded, looking at him through your lashes. He pushed against you, resting your back against the ground and keeping his forehead against yours. His lips pushed against yours again, and you couldn’t believe you doubted him for a second.

MIYA ATSUMU - PROVE EM WRONG 

- summary - irked by his brother and his wife’s flirting in front of him, astumu decides it finally time to prove to his family that he too has settled down and with someone he genuinely loves at that - fluff - x f reader

- an - this is the alternative route to the osamu fic i wrote which is based off of this ask an anon sent in earlier, someone suggested i do both brothers with this plot and i think they were joking but i did end up getting a little carried away and writing two different routes for it so here u go >:)

-

“Oi, Samu! Stop flirtin with ya wife right in front’a me and get cookin, I’m starvin!” Atsumu whined as he rested his head against the kitchen prep counter which was currently occupied with countless cooking utensils scattered across the cool metal surface and various ingredients dotted around.

“Yer just jealous I have a gorgeous wife and you don’t” With a smug smile, Osamu wrapped his arm around his wife’s waist bringing her  in close enough for him to press a quick kiss to her flour dusted cheek.

“Yuck! Not over the food I’m beggin ya!”

She giggled and pulled her husband back in close to her before turning to give a quick smile to his irritated twin.

“Perhaps we should find you a girlfriend Tsumu! I know a few people who I’m sure would be at least willing to go out on a date with you.”

“Yeah, you’d probably have to pay em first!”

Atsumu huffed before sitting up properly with a smirk painted across his face.

“Actually, no need. I’ve got a girlfriend already.”

Osamu narrowed his eyes at his brother unsure whether to believe him or not. Atsumu was known for being sly especially when it came to him.

“Really? How comes we’ve never met ‘er then?” Osamu quizzed, eyes boring into his complacent brother’s.

“Cause she’s always busy and when she’s not she’s usually at my practices, besides, media’s a pain in the ass we don’t want them following us and bein annoyin wherever we go.” Atsumu spoke matter-of-factly.

Still not buying his brothers claims, Osamu thought of something that would surely catch Atsumu out of his potential lie. He nodded towards his wife to back him up and she sent him a knowing smile already knowing what he was thinking.

“We were thinkin of having the family over this weekend for dinner cause we’ve got an announcement to make, why dont’cha bring yer girl with you?” Osamu observed his twin watching for any signs of panic or discomfort but Atsumu’s face stayed content as if he was trying to provoke the couple in front of him.

“Lemme see if she’s free, I only have training in the morning but I’ll check if she’s got anythin going on before I drag her out.” Atsumu pulled out his phone as he stood up after checking the time. “Ah shit, I gotta get back, Omi’s gonna kill me if I’m late one more time, see you Saturday I guess.” He shrugged and waved to the confused pair left in the prep kitchen.

“Yeah, see you and yer girlfriend then.”

Atsumu smirked as he headed out to leave for practice, the sudden excitement for Saturday to arrive flooding his mind.”

If there was anything Atsumu loved more than you, it was proving people wrong.

“y/n! Baby I’m home!” Atsumu called out, entering the sleek apartment closing the door securely behind him.

“Coming!” Your melodic voice called out to your boyfriend bringing a smile to his face. He heard the sounds of your feet padding across the heated floor towards him. After a few seconds of waiting, you finally reached your tired boyfriend who offered you a lazy smirk as he brought you into his arms.

“There’s my girl.” He muttered pressing a feathery kiss to your cheek before pulling you in for a deep kiss to your lips. He pulled you in even closer, hand supporting your lower back and the other moving down to give your ass a quick squeeze signalling for you to jump so he could carry you. Never letting his lips leave yours, Atsumu dragged his hand from your back to help his other hand in supporting the weight of your body now your legs had instinctively wrapped around his slim waist as your hands carded through his soft golden tufts. He carried you over to the couch and sat, having you straddle his waist before pulling away to allow yourselves to catch your breaths.

“What’s gotten you so worked up?” you huffed as you leant back slightly to look into his glinting eyes.

“Nothin much, saw Samu and his wife earlier… they don’t believe you exist.” A pout etched onto his face as you raised your eyebrow.

“Should I be offended?”

“Nah, guess they’re right, they haven’t met’cha yet, but we’re both so busy we never found the time to introduce ya.”

You hummed as Astumu pouted, face buried in your neck, his warm breath tickling your neck.

“Actually,” Atsumu began. “Would’ja mind comin to meet them on Saturday? Like, my whole family. You can say no if yer busy or if yer not ready I totally get-”

You shut the boy up with a quick peck and smiled gently at him.

“Tsumu, I’d love to meet your family.”

“Yeah?”

“Of course.”

Atsumu felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulder, he didn’t think convincing you would’ve been that easy. He was confident that you would’ve been open to meeting his family at some point, but there was still the lingering thoughts of doubt in which you may not have thought he was taking you or the relationship seriously, but after seeing your genuine smile and hearing your firm answer, Atsumu’s doubts washed away and a satisfied and relieved smile came over his face.

“They’re gonna be so mad when they see just how hot my girlfriend is, yer gonna show everyone who comes up, I just know it angel.”

You playfully hit your boyfriend's chest with a firm look on your face as he laughed.

“Don’t say that! I bet your family's great Tsumu, I can’t wait to meet them.”

Although you’d already said yes to meeting his family, Astumu felt his heart warm at the sound of you saying you were excited to meet his family. The fact you were happy to be involved even more in his life only made him want to let you even further in if he could. Atsumu was never really one for long-term relationships hence why he’d never bothered introducing any previous girlfriends to his family because he knew it would end eventually due to the fact he had to spend so much time travelling and at training. He had been taking a break from dating when he met you. You were introduced as the new MSBY social media manager, you were given the task to run the team’s official social medias, monitor the player’s accounts and keep an eye on certain articles while organising interviews and event appearances. It was a big job but you took it head on from the get-go thoroughly impressing Atsumu who made no attempts to hide his interest in you. Hell, he even went as far as to get scolded by you a few times for posting some risky shirtless pictures to his instagram purely for the fact he knew you were monitoring the accounts and that you’d see them.

5 months later and Atsumu had finally convinced you to let him take you out on just one date. But one date soon turned into two, then three, then seven and the rest was history. He wasn’t sure why you’d eventually given into his persistent flirting and whining but he didn’t particularly care either. He had you now and that’s all that mattered. You were the only girlfriend he’d had who understood and accepted his demanding work schedule because you yourself were on a similar schedule which he thanked the heavens for. Thinking back, Atsumu probably should’ve brought you to meet his family sooner but with the excitement of constant games, intense training, interviews and event appearances and grasping onto whatever time he could get alone with you, proved to overpower the thoughts of how significant it is for your partner to meet your family.

Whatever, they were getting the chance to meet you this weekend so better late than never he supposed.

Saturday rolled round quickly and you and Atsumu were exhausted from a weeks worth of demanding work but there was no way in hell Atsumu was going to forget about how he needed to wipe his brother's smug smirk off his face when he introduced his incredible girlfriend.

Dressing nicely, the two of you rushed out of the apartment a little later than planned but Atsumu didn’t mind. Being a little late just meant more people would arrive before him allowing him to make a big entrance and cause a scene about who he’d brought along. You weren’t an accessory to Atsumu and he hoped you weren’t thinking that’s what today was about. Sure he had a petty side goal, but he was genuinely proud of you and would show you off whenever he could especially in front of the other MSBY players who’d only scowl at him when he’d wrap his arms around your smaller frame from behind while mouthing a ‘mine’ for the other men to sulk over.

You arrived after a 15 minute drive and Atsumu opened your door for you guiding you up towards his twin’s spacious home.

Knocking a few times, Atsumu gave your hand a quick squeeze of reassurance as you felt your heart pound ever so slightly quicker at the thought of meeting your boyfriend’s whole family.

The door was opened by Osamu who already had a look of amusement written across his face, ready to ridicule his brother for lying. His face dropped when he saw you holding his brother’s hand and blinked a few times to make sure his eyes weren’t deceiving him.

“He didn’t pay you to come with him did he?” Osamu questioned with shock as Atsumu sent a sharp flick to his brother’s shoulder. You hummed in amusement before smiling lazily at your boyfriend’s twin.

“My presence is an extremely high price, I doubt he would’ve been able to afford it if he wasn’t so persistent and annoying.”

“Tsumu, I approve, I like her.” Osamu snickered before letting the two of you enter his warm home filled with members of the Miya family.

A chorus of welcomes came their way as many family members rushed over to gush over how ‘out of Atsumu’s league’ you were and ‘why had you wanted to date someone as messy as him’ only for you to laugh brightly and tell his family countless stories about Atsumu’s antics at training and post match celebrations.

Astumu didn’t even mind you were poking fun at him every so often, growing up with Osamu had gotten him pretty used to it but he was more focused on how naturally you fit into his family. It was like you were meant to be a part of it. 

Watching you as you spoke and laughed with his family, Atsumu let his thoughts wander to when and how he’d eventually go about making you officially part of his family one day.

Mia’s First Game

A/N: as requested, here’s the little blurb that I originally was going to post the other day but didn’t. Enjoy!

Masterlist

Word Count: 2.2k

With Mia being born at the end of January and the Leafs' season getting cut short at the beginning of May that year after a brief playoff run, she still hadn't been to a game. She was only three months old when the season finished, and although the thought of taking her to one of the games definitely crossed your mind, with how she was in the routine of falling asleep around 7pm every night, it just wasn't possible. However, as summer came and went, you knew you'd be taking Mia to her first NHL game to watch her dad once the season started back up again, and you were pretty excited about it.

The original plan was to take Mia to the Saturday game after the first home game of the season that took place earlier in the week. Auston's family was flying into Toronto on the Friday, so you and Mia would go to the game with them the following evening. However, shortly after Auston left to head down to SBA for the home-opener, that changed.

While talking on the phone with Steph, who was getting ready with a couple of the other wives and girlfriends of players, you became convinced not to spend your night at home. The girls booked a booth at SBA to all get-together and watch the game as a way to celebrate the new season starting, and of course, you and Mia were invited. But you kept declining because you were so set on attending Saturday's game, although you really had no reason not to go to both.

At eight months old, Mia was full of energy, and you knew she'd have a ton of fun hanging out with the other girls that she's come to know, all while cheering on Auston and the rest of the guys. You weren't sure why you didn't agree to just go in the first place regardless of whether you'd have to leave a little early and take Mia home, but the more you talked to Steph, the more you became convinced that you should.

However, with you being, well, you, there was no way you were going to start getting ready without talking to Auston's family first, seeing as you knew they were excited about going to the game with Mia on Saturday. They immediately told you not to worry about them and to go have fun with your friends, but not without mentioning how they'd be watching for Auston's reaction to one he realized you and Mia were there.

The thought of seeing your husband's surprised expression after noticing that his two girls were at the game made you smile, and you became even more excited as you quickly packed up your things, then grabbed Mia and left to go over and get ready at Steph and Mitch's place.

About two hours later, you and Mia were all dressed in your matching Matthews jerseys and were ready to go. It was great catching up with all the other wives and girlfriends that you hadn't gotten to see since your wedding at the end of July because after that, you got sucked into everything involved with moving from the downtown condo to your new house. You also met and welcomed some of the new girls that recently moved to Toronto with their man for the new season as well, all of whom were lovely.

Mia was having a great time too, and just by seeing how happy she was, you knew that you made the right call about going to the game. But, soon enough, it was time to go. After the whole group took some pictures in their jerseys, including Steph stealing Mia for some pics with her goddaughter, you all headed downtown together so you could watch your guys in action.

Upon arriving at the arena, your whole group went to the suite that was booked out for you girls to drop off your things, then you, Mia, and Steph headed to the Platinum Club so the three of you could be let up to the glass one warmups started. You chatted with a worker who was going to escort the three of you to the rinkside just as the Leafs took to the ice, as Mia babbled away in your arms and took in her surroundings.

Soon enough, the team was announced, and the crowd started going wild. You and Steph then followed the worker down the hall and walked right up the glass before waiting and watching as the guys took the ice. You could hear fans nearby talking and mentioning pointing out that Auston's wife and daughter were there, which made you a little nervous because Mia has never really been so in the public eye before. But, your nerves soon melted away.

"Mom, they're wearing Matthews jerseys like us," You heard a small voice speak up, then glanced over to where two kids were sitting with their parents. The little girl appeared to be maybe six or seven. Meanwhile, her brother seemed a bit younger. With how she was glancing up at who you assumed was her mom, obviously looking for a response, you knew that she was the one who mentioned the jerseys.

"Yes, honey," the mother replied. "That's Auston's family. They're here to watch the game just like we are."

Your heart swelled so much watching their interaction, and you could feel yourself getting a little emotional because of it. Steph chuckled slightly as she watched you but also had to admit that it was all pretty cute too.

Then another voice spoke up.

"Is this your little one's first game?" An older man who was sitting in the row behind the family asked you.

"It is," you confirmed with a smile, then glanced down at your daughter. "Except we decided to come last minute, so her dad doesn't even know we're here yet. Can you say hi, Mia?"

Mia squealed in response, then got all smiley, which made those sitting nearby laugh and awe a bit at just how cute she was.

"Your daughter is beautiful," a different woman stated, making you feel even more emotional than before.

"Thank you," you responded. "I still haven't fully accepted the fact that she looks more like Auston than she does me, but I'll get over it."

"Speaking of Auston, here he comes," said another person, but you didn't even get the chance to see who because you were turning back around to face the rink just as your husband skated down from centre ice and took a shot on net.

He scored, then skated over to the boards a little bit behind the net to where Mitch, John and Willy were all standing. They talked for a few seconds before Will's gaze drifted in your direction until he spotted you, Steph and Mia, a smile stretching across his mouth as he did so.

Will then nudged both Auston and Mitch, then pointed to where you were standing so they could see too.

Upon locking eye contact with you, Auston's face lit right up, and it wasn't long before he and Mitchy were both skating over to the corner.

There was no way the two of you would've been able to hear each other through the glass, so instead, Auston gave you a look as he approached, showing that he was surprised to see you there. He also expressed that he wasn't mad about it as he winked at you and grinned cheekily.

Once the two guys reached the glass, they started waving at Mia, and much to your surprise, she immediately recognized them even in all their hockey gear.

"Da-da," she said and then reached towards the glass. Acting fast, you shifted her in your hold and lifted her so that she'd stand on the little ledge around the boards and be face to face with Auston. "Da-da!"

Mia's smile grew even wider as she stared at her dad and banged on the glass a little bit while he waved at her and blew her kisses. You then looked at your cousin as he stood next to your husband and couldn't help but smile at how he was smiling so widely as he watched Mia and Auston.

Mitch then looked at you and gave you a knowing look as if to say you better not leave before he gets the chance to see his goddaughter after the game. You nodded in understanding, which made his smile grow even wider.

However, soon enough, the moment had to come to an end because Auston and Mitch both had a game to play. It wasn't until then that you noticed the Leafs photographer only a few feet away as well and knew that he had just captured that little moment forever.

Auston and Mitchy then waved bye to you, Mia and Steph before going back to the rest of the team to finish up their warmups and get ready to start the game.

Mark, the team photographer, then approached the three of you to show you the images he took. There was one of you holding Mia while facing the fans with your backs to the camera that showcased your Matthews jerseys, another of you, Mia and Steph, all standing together looking very happy as you waited for your guys. And then the last one, which was probably your favourite, was a closeup of Mia and Auston as they smiled at each other through the glass, then had you in the background looking at the two of them and smiling fondly. It was adorable, and Mark assured that he'd send the pictures to you and Auston once he edited them.

After that, the three of you headed back to the booth, but not without saying bye to the Leafs fans you chatted with and told them you hoped they enjoyed the game.

Everyone welcomed you back excitedly at the suite before you all settled in and got ready to watch your guys play their first game of the season.

The Leafs ended up winning, which had the energy in the arena feeling insane but in the best way possible. On top of it, Auston scored two of the goals, which helped result in the team's 4-3 victory over Calgary.

By the end of the game, Mia was very tired. However, she wasn't getting fussy. She just continued fighting so hard to keep her eyes open and enjoyed her time being around people she was comfortable within this entirely new setting.

As everyone began clearing out of their seats, your whole group went back down to the Platinum Club and waited for the guys. Steph carried Mia all the way there, but after a few minutes, Mia began reaching for you because whenever she got exhausted, she only wanted her parents and would become overly snuggly.

Once you took her from Steph, she immediately clung to you and leaned against your shoulder while you assured her that you'd be going home very soon.

A few minutes later, the guys started filing into the waiting area, all happy to see their significant others and families as they greeted them after their big win. As you waited for Auston, you spotted Mitchy first, and he wasted no time coming over to say hi to Mia but was also very respectful of the fact that she was exasperated.

Not long after that, Auston entered the room and smiled so wide again once he laid eyes on you and Mia.

"There's my girls," he greeted happily as he approached the two of you, then took Mia from your hold, awing as she let out a yawn and immediately snuggled against him. "You tired, mini?"

"She's very tired, but she's trying hard to stay awake at the moment," you explained, then smiled as Auston wrapped his other arm around your waist and pulled you in for a kiss.

"And how are you feeling, baby mama? This was your first big night out with Mia, and I must say, you both sure made my night by being here."

You rolled your eyes at his baby mama comment but couldn't help the blush that burned your cheeks at the rest of what he said.

"You're making it sound like I don't have a life, babe. But I'm good. Really glad I decided to bring Mia out tonight. We had a lot of fun, didn't we, sweet girl?"

Mia didn't respond. You didn't expect her to, especially with her minimal vocabulary. Instead, she mindlessly brought her hand up to her mouth and began sucking on it, then using her other hand to rub her cheek. She'd been teething like crazy lately, and those actions were what she did when her mouth was beginning to bother her.

You and Auston looked at each other knowingly after that because you both knew how if she were in discomfort, mixed with how she was already so exhausted, things would get real messy real soon. So, without even having to agree on it, you both started saying your goodbyes and headed home.

Deep down, you knew that night would probably be a little rough with Mia and trying to get her to sleep comfortably, but you weren't worried. You were so content and knew that Mia also had a good night out, so it was worth it. And besides, you didn't have to do it alone. Auston was there too, he wasn't going anywhere, and you knew you'd get through whatever else your little family needed to face together.

game seven

drabbles for alone, together / the storm before the calm / the president wears prada

Bee was waiting anxiously.  She had been since Morgan left that afternoon, a quiet confidence free of arrogance about him after she gave him one last kiss and one last “I love you” before seeing him off.  She couldn’t concentrate on work for the rest of the day – she hadn’t been able to concentrate on work since game five, really – and had pre-emptively taken tomorrow off.  Just in case.  Just because.  

She watched the game.  She watched the post-game interviews, where Morgan was ushered out first, as he always was, volunteer or not, to speak about what had just transpired.  She knew everybody could hear the pain in his voice, but they couldn’t hear the pain like she heard the pain.  They didn’t hear the same type of pain she did, that she knew he was withholding in himself, trying not to let show.  There was a dignity about him too – a dignity characteristic of him and him alone, and though people commented on it, it was much of the same thing.  They didn’t know the true dignity.  They didn’t know what it took for him to sit in front of those cameras and talk after another heartbreak.

She heard the door open.  She immediately got up from her spot on the couch and ran over, meeting him in the doorway.  His suit had been put on haphazardly.  His tie was barely done.  If she was being honest, it looked like he got hit by a truck.  He probably felt like it.

“C’mere,” Bee cooed, already bringing her hands up to cradle his face.

“Bumblebee…” he let out, exasperated, a long and heavy breath escaping him as she attached herself even more to him.  “Bumblebee, I can’t…why…” he had no words.

“C’mere, c’mon,” she led them towards their bedroom.  He sat down on the edge of their bed, leaning over and putting his head in his hands as Bee still wrapped her arms around him one way or another, leaning her head against his shoulder.  “You played amazing all series.  You showed up.”

Morgan shook his head.  He knew that.  He knew he was playing well.  It all didn’t make sense to him.  “It was 3-1,” he mumbled against his hands.

“Hmm?”

“It was 3-fucking-1,” he mumbled again, and Bee’s heart dropped.  “I don’t know what happened.  I don’t know what I could have done be—”

“Shhhhh, don’t beat yourself up over this like you always do,” she said, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.  “This isn’t just on you.  I love you, Morgan.  Please don’t think it’s all your fault.  You know how unhealthy that is.”

Morgan knew Bee was right, but it didn’t feel like anything would shake this feeling.  He didn’t know what went wrong and couldn’t think of a solution.  He was desolate.  Another first round exit.  Another loss.  Another collapse.  It was the unthinkable.  He shook his head, unable to find words.  “I love you.  I’m so sorry.”

“There is nothing to apologize for.  I love you too and I’m so proud of you.”

“Are you?” he asked.

“Every single day,” she affirmed, giving him a quick kiss on the lips.  “I love you more and more every day, and I’m proud of you more and more every day, too.”

She could feel his tears later that night as she held him, running her fingers through his hair, telling him over and over how much she loved him.

Aberdeen’s daybed came in handy for one thing: cuddling.  William wasn’t joking when he said it was his favourite because it gave them the best cuddle sessions, but now, Aberdeen understood why.  At first, she thought it was a joke, like it was coded language that she should get at least a double bed.  But no – it wasn’t a joke.  William did really love her daybed for cuddling.  And it became abundantly clear after the events that transpired after game seven against the Montreal Canadiens.  

Aberdeen wished she could have been there.  A small part of her wished she was still working for Brendan so she could be there for the guys after the tough loss, after the collapse.  But that part of her life was over.  Despite having William and always being attached to the Leafs, there was nothing in her power that she could do to make this situation better for the team.  Instead, she knew she could only try to make this situation better for William.

So they cuddled.  William held her so often, but now, it was her turn to hold him.  She felt his tears as he buried his head into the crook of her neck; she felt his tense body despite her touch, and did everything in her power to get him to relax.  But William was on edge.  He always was after stuff like this.  He blamed himself, and she knew that, even though it was a team effort.  She didn’t even mention the very late goal he scored in the third period.  He didn’t even celebrate it.  She hated that.  William, her William, trying until the very end.

“You haven’t been online, have you?” he asked, mumbling into her skin in the middle of the night, even though neither was sleeping.

“No.  Why?”

“I don’t want you to see what they’re saying.”

“You had five goals in seven games, William.”

“You’d be surprised, minskatt.”

Aberdeen let out a breath, clutching William tighter.  “That doesn’t matter,” she said.  “What matters is that I love you and I’m proud of you.”

William raised his head when she said that.  “You’re proud?”

“Always have been.  Always will be, Willy.”

He leaned down and kissed her, eventually snuggling back into her and letting out small sighs when he felt her beginning to run her fingers through his hair.  Eventually, she felt his breathing steady, and she knew he was asleep.  

She took the opportunity to reach over and grab her phone, unlocking the screen and finding the number she needed to find.  She hadn’t texted it for months, and the last time she did, there was no response.  But she texted anyway, because she was Aberdeen, and she would not yield.  

To:  Jason Spezza

I love you and I’m so, so sorry about tonight.

When Fred walked through the door of his and Aleida’s townhouse, all he could hear was Helena crying.  He immediately took off his suit jacket and laid it over the couch as he walked upstairs to Helena’s bedroom, seeing Aleida trying to rock her back and forth to get her to stop crying.  Helena was wailing.  

“Fred,” Aleida’s voice was desperate as she saw him in the doorway.  “She won’t stop crying.  I’ve already fed her and—”

“Give her to me,” he said softly, outstretching his arms so Helena could be put in his arms.  “C’mon, Helena, you can stop crying.”

Aleida’s hair was in a messy, ratty bun.  Her pyjamas hadn’t been washed.  She looked like she’d been crying along with Helena.  But she still looked beautiful, like Fred knew she would.  It was a comfort of sorts, coming home after yet another disappointing first round exit, and finding your wife and newborn daughter in her bedroom.  It brought him back down to earth, in a way.  That there were things more important than hockey.

It only took about a minute or so for Helena to stop crying once Fred cradled her against his chest, overpriced collared shirt be damned.  Once she was quieter, Aleida finally looked at him.  “She’s so good when she’s with you.  She doesn’t do that for me.”

“It’s okay, Aleida.  She would have calmed down eventually.”

He could tell Aleida wanted to say something, but she didn’t.  Instead, she took another route.  “I’m so sorry.”

“About the game?”

“About the game and about not being able to calm her down—”

“Shhh…don’t apologize for that,” he interrupted.

“But I can’t do it like you can.”

“Shhh…it’s okay.  She’s a newborn.  It’ll get better.  She’ll get better.”

Some things were bigger than hockey right now.

[moddersayethstuff]

Current concept floating around my head: Metal Sonic but he’s an actual character with a story arc and isn’t just another of Eggman’s Badniks. He’s part of this hypothetical Sonic Reboot Cartoon based on the games but slightly different so I get to make the rules. Also this ended up being a really long post, I just started writing and decided not to stop.

He shows up pretty early on, and is one of Sonic’s earliest adversaries. He makes a few appearances after that, sometimes as an opponent to Sonic and other times just sitting around one of Eggman’s bases (usually charging, his battery gets used up quick). He takes more than a bit of inspiration from Soundwave (specifically his Prime incarnation, with a bit of Cyberverse mixed in). Examples are not talking with his own voice and preferring to communicate with recorded voice clips of people around him saying things, and a love of music (he created his battle themes seen in Sonic Generations/Mania/Forces and plays them when fighting Sonic), which is his main form of expressing his personality, which no one (not even Eggman) can really see.

Metal’s character arc starts at some point before Shadow is introduced (I currently use when characters are introduced as a sort of timeline for events), where Metal starts asking Eggman things, one of the key things being why he’s not powered by a captured animal (like the rest of the Badniks). It’s revealed that he’s powered by Chaos Energy, the same energy Sonic gets his near-limitless power from (a topic for another post). However, Eggman only had a bit of Chaos energy in storage when creating Metal, thus the reason his battery is so weak (I’m not explaining how Chaos energy works here, sorry). Metal then decides to improve himself, hoping that with a stronger battery and an upgraded body he might be able to defeat Sonic, which has become his ultimate goal since his creation. Metal starts by stealing a Chaos Emerald from Tail’s Lab, easily outmatching the fox (Sonic was preoccupied, possibly with the whole Project Shadow thing). He goes to a rarely used Robotnik Facility (Eggman inherited most of his many bases from Gerald, again a story for another post) and converts it into his own personal laboratory. He learns from Eggman’s files how he and the other Badniks work, and begins his first personal upgrades to his mechanical body. With the energy from the Chaos Emerald, he increases his battery’s capacity and output a hundred fold, then gives the Emerald to Eggman (who is very happy about the surprise gift).

At some point after Shadow becomes a part of the main cast, Metal’s arc kicks in full swing, getting a dedicated set of episodes that would be called the Metal Requiem Arc. it starts with Metal experimenting, creating his own Badniks, and eventually decides to create himself a brother, to further match Sonic (Sonic and Shadow are bothers, same with Silver, it’s really complicated and, again, deserves a post of it’s own). He creates an android based on his own schematics but based on Shadow in terms of designs and abilities (it’s also really anime inspired as well, it is Shadow after all). Metal Shadow, in contrast to Metal Sonic’s Soundwave aesthetic, is more of a cross between Megatron and Starscream. He’s ruthless, and soon after his creation aspires to seize the Eggman Empire for himself and use it’s forces to conquer the world his own way. He becomes a sort of third party to the endless Sonic Vs. Eggman struggle, and ends up keeping both of them busy while Metal Sonic continues doing his own thing. Metal, who’s read up on the Chaos Emeralds, decides to use them to find a way to finally overpower Sonic. He begins to gather them, and then constructs a body that would allow him to channel their power to his will.

It’s important to know here that the Seven Chaos Emeralds, when gathered, are able to perform a One Big Thing before scattering again, and if you want another One Big Thing out of them you need to track them all down again. Usually, said One Big Thing is Sonic becoming Super Sonic (something only he, Shadow, and Silver can do, again that’s for another post), but traditionally in the past adventurers would gather the Emeralds and make a wish, usually for knowledge or to prevent a disaster of some kind. Metal Sonic’s objective is to gather them all and use the One Big Thing to learn what he needs to defeat Sonic. And the Emeralds answer this by implanting in his memory banks the location of a long-lost artifact that, if Metal can find and use, will allow him to overpower Sonic’s nearly infinite energy and potential. While Sonic and Eggman scramble to find the Chaos Emeralds again to prepare for whatever Metal is going to do, Metal seeks out the artifact, a powerful gemstone similar to the Chaos Emeralds, Phantom Ruby, and Warp Topaz, being a neon orange gemstone named the Neon Sapphire. (I looked up what gemstones could be naturally orange, and sapphire was one of them. Plus what would a super powerful blue sapphire do anyways? Control water? That’s kinda Chaos’ thing, lol.)

Metal, now in possession of the Neon Sapphire, constructs another new body to harness it’s power, becoming Neo Metal Sonic. Also, he’s the only one who could really use the Neon Sapphire, as it’s limitless power would not be able to be controlled by pretty much any mortal, even Sonic. Metal’s advanced mechanical mind is practically the only thing that would be able to control it, thus why the Chaos Emeralds taught him of it’s location. Neo Metal Sonic is now able to shift the matter he’s made of, allowing him to essentially shape-shift like the main-series Neo Metal. However, it’s important to note that the main-series Neo Metal and my Neo Metal are still very different, especially in the design. If I had any art talent, I’d drawn him but tragically, I can’t.

Sonic, now in possession of all the Chaos Emeralds, confronts Neo Metal Sonic, and after a long fight, Metal manages to, for the first time since his creation, finally defeat Sonic. Sonic, having been knocked out of his Super Sonic form and having lost the Chaos Emeralds, expects Metal to finish him off. But Metal does not, his goal having been achieved. He leaves, returning to his secret stronghold and leaving Sonic to pick himself up and go home. Metal then returns to his old body, and then hides the Neon Sapphire where no one will be able to reach it, fearing what would happen should Sonic, Eggman, or anyone get their hands on it. At this point, he’s essentially left the Eggman Empire, and spends a long time attempting to find a new purpose. What this new purpose is, I haven’t thought up yet. But Metal’s story doesn’t end there.

He makes more appearances throughout the series, notably creating Metal Silver at some point after Silver joins the main cast. Metal Silver, unlike his brothers, has the mindset of a child who wants to explore the world and everything in it. This curiousness causes him to leave Metal Sonic’s stronghold, and has a few friendly interactions with the rest of the cast, before deciding to live in a small village where he happily interacts with the residents. He also ends up becoming good friends with fellow explorative child, Cream the Rabbit. He and Gemerl are on very friendly terms.

The Metal Trio have big roles during the reboot cartoon’s adaptation of the Metal Virus Saga from the IDW Comic, but I might talk about that in another post. This one is already long enough. But I hope you found my long ramblings interesting!
