I know she’s not here anymore but a thank you to my sweet friend Siri for reading though this and spitballing ideas with me ❤️
So, just because there’s been some buzz around this part in particular- could I ask that you kindly put any spoiler comments/reblogs under a cut, please? 🙏❤️ Thank you for all your support! I appreciate all of you so much!
"He's freaking out, y/n... can you at least let him know you're OK?" Yenzy sighed, tapping the pencil on his notebook as he swiveled in his desk chair. He took his glasses off and rubbed at his tired eyes before replacing them.
It had been nearly a week since you left Ari at the arena and ever since the boys won, Ari had been calling you non-stop. Your mailbox was full and he had even accosted your roommate, drunk and begging for your whereabouts.
You had left- not even telling your roommate where you planned on going. You didn't have a plan. You just needed a place where he wouldn't find you. And he would never think to look for you... here.
"How 'bout an I'm OK, now fuck off text?" Yenzy smirked.
"No" you snorted stubbornly, "he can eat shit" you double hiccuped and then giggled.
Yenzy heard a muffled male voice in the background of wherever you were, you pulled the phone away and held it to your chest as you spoke to the unidentified male, Yenzy only hearing bits and pieces of a garbled conversation.
"Hey, bit..." Yenzy called into the phone.
"You're dumb... it's not a catchphrase..." you scoffed, bringing the phone back to your ear, "anyone can say that..." you said, addressing the male voice.
"Bitty..." Jake tried again, louder this time.
"Yuck..." your hiccuped was a squeak, "don't call me that... I hate it... I hate that stupid nickname... who cares if I'm short? He's a big dumb giant" you harrumphed.
"How much have you had to drink?" Yenzy asked, concern laced his tone.
"Dunno" you sighed into the phone with a shrug, "but I need a refill..." you sang out to no one in particular.
"Are you at least being safe?" Yenzy asked with a heavy exhale, "where are you?"
"I'm fine" you assured, "I just need to not feel for awhile, Yenz" you dropped your voice so only Yenzy could hear you, "and I'm not telling you... cause then you'll tell him and he'll come find me... and I'm not... ready" your voice was growing watery again as you thoughts drifted back to Ari.
You couldn't think of him for too long- you wouldn't let yourself- or it would start the spiral of devastation all over again. He had been your everything for the past two years and you were his... nothing.
Why did it take you so damn long to realize that? You felt like a joke.
You were nothing but a good time for him. A stop in between his revolving door of partners. Maybe he had been sleeping with others all along- even when he said he was waiting to score with you.
You felt like you were going to be sick. Clearing your throat as you wiped the tears with the back of your borrowed sweater.
"Y/N..." Yenzy blew out another exhale -completely over being in the middle of all of this- he had clearly been trying to get your attention as you were lost in thought, "just be careful, please? And call me if you need anything... I won't tell him if you don't want me..." but Jensen's words were cut short when there was a loud commotion on his end of the phone.
"What the hell?" Yenzy huffed when his bedroom door flung open with a force that rattled the house.
"Is that bit? Where is she? Gimme the phone" Levs' demanded as he rushed across the room.
Ari looked disheveled; bloodshot eyes, hair tossled from racking his hands through it one too many times and he smelled like booze.
"Levs... she doesn't want to tal..." Yenzy started before Levs yanked the phone from the goalie's hand.
"Bit?" Levs tried to keep his voice even but it trembled. The line was dead.
"Fuck" Levs yelled, nearly cracking Yenzy's phone when he closed his fist around it with a snarl. His face flushed pink as he seethed down at his teammate.
"Why didn't you tell me she was talking to you?" Levs barked, "I've been trying to get a hold of her for days..."
"Jesus, man... get a grip" Yenzy said, standing and maneuvering around Levs as he tried to leave his room, "she doesn't want to talk to you."
"Get a grip?" Levs spun around, "she's my... my..."
"Your what, man?" Yenzy goaded, "you're a mess 'cause she left and you still can't fucking admit what she is to you..."
"Fuck you, Jensen" Levs growled.
"That's it... keep deflecting..." Yenzy scoffed, rolling his eyes.
"SHE'S MY FUCKING EVERYTHING" Levs yelled in a drunken rage as he threw Yenzy's phone to the floor.
Yenzy's jaw ticked, his fists clenched at his sides- he moved to pick his phone up, but Ari took an aggressive step towards the goalie, boxing him in against his bookcase.
"Then why don't you fucking tell her that?" Yenzy shot back, matching Levs' volume but not his bite.
"Watch it" Levs' anger was barely contained, boiling just under the surface.
"You've been stringing y/n along for how many years now?" Yenzy asked, "she's gone, pal..."
"I'm not your fucking pal" Levs loomed over Jensen with about 4 extra inches.
"She's too good for you" Jensen scoffed under his breath, standing his ground.
"What the fuck did you just say?" Levs growled.
"You heard me" Yenzy said, glaring at the brute.
Cappy, Sam and some of the other boys had made their way to the bedroom hallway from downstairs after hearing the yelling.
"She's too good for me, 'cause what?" Levs snorted harshly, "you wanna fuck her, Yenzy?"
"You're drunk" Yenzy glared at him.
"And you wanna fuck my girl" Levs countered.
"No... y/n and I are just friends... became friends the last time you were a massive dick to her in fact" Yenzy said, bluntly.
"What the hell does that mean?" Levs snarled.
"When you went home for the summer and hooked up with an ex..." Yenzy continued, "y/n found out... she saw it all... some video on TikTok or something."
"What?" Levs asked, "how? She never told me that..."
"Because she was humiliated..." Yenzy scoffed, "she had just told you she had feelings for you and you go and fuck some other girl?"
"I never fucked her..." Levs growled, taking Yenzy's shirt in his fists and yanking him close.
"Hey" Cappy yelled, getting in Levs' face, "walk it off, Levs" he said as Sam and Johnny rushed in, each grabbing a shoulder of the Canadian powerhouse.
Levs easily shook off his teammates' holds, glowering down at his goalie just as Yenzy's phone buzzed to life. Levs glared at Jensen, shoving him one last time before letting go of his rumbled t-shirt.
"If this is fucking broken..." Yenzy threatened as he bent down, picking up the phone and answering it when he saw your picture flash across the screen.
"Yenzy, is he still there?" you asked, your voice was steady, but inside you were trembling.
"Yes" Yenzy snarled, glaring at Levs who had backed off but still looked menacing in his current state of beast mode.
"Give him the phone" you instructed.
"You sure?" Yenzy asked.
"Please, Jake..." you blew out a heavy exhale.
Jensen sighed, reluctantly offering Levs the phone as he shook his head, throwing his hands in the air as if he were washing himself clean of the whole damn thing. Yenzy turned, storming out of his bedroom with a curse.
"Bit?" Levs asked, turning his back on his teammates as they also decided to leave the room.
"Stop calling me" you snapped.
"What? Bit, please..." Ari's voice was pained as he paced the small space, "I'm so sorry... I..."
"And leave my roommate and Yenzy alone. I'm not even at my place and I'm not coming back... They don't have anything to do with this..." you continued, ignoring his pleas.
"Where are you?" he asked.
"That's none of your concern anymore" you said.
"Bit... I scored... I scored" he slurred, "just come home, baby... please?" Ari begged, his voice watery now. You could tell he was drunk.
"Oh, that's great" your sarcasm was thick, "have fun with Kimmie..."
"What?" he snorted, "no, bit... it's you... it's only you... I scored for you..." Ari paused his pacing to emphasize every word.
"I don't care" you spat, "none of it matters... it never mattered, Levs..."
"Bit... don't say that..." but Ari's words were choked off with emotion, "don't do this to us, baby..."
"You did this... you did this to us" your tone was surprisingly calm, "you fucking did this to us... I was right there the whole fucking time and it never mattered."
"That's not true, bit" Ari's voice cracked again as he fought back the tears.
"Stop fucking calling me bit" you screamed into the phone, "I'm not your bit... I'm not your fucking anything..."
The phone went dead as Levs sank down on Yenzy's bed with a sob.
You stared at the phone for a long minute, eyes prickling with tears. The sound of someone clearing their throat startled you back to the present.
"Good girl" Ransom goaded, walking back into his bedroom and handing you an imported beer. You'd been getting drunk off this fancy shit ever since you showed up on his doorstep that night.
"Shut up" you whined, "I don't even know why we’re doing this... he's never gonna care..." you wiped a tear with the back of your hand.
"A guy like Levinson? Thinking he missed out on that tight little snatch? He's gonna fucking care" Ransom hissed, tossing you a jersey as he sat opposite you in his expensive oversized Italian leather chair.
"You're gross" you cringed, "why did I get drunk and tell you everything?"
"Cause I'm a good listener" Ransom snorted, not even believing himself.
"Are you just being nice to me so you can get in my pants?" you wondered out loud.
"Think that's been pretty clear from the start, little bitty kitty..." Ransom smirked.
"Ew! Don't call me that" you hiccuped.
"Why?" Ransom's eyes twinkled with delight, "she's obviously little, Ransom leaned forward, taking handful's of your soft curves and yanking you to the edge of his bed. You gasped, almost spilling your beer before squirming out of his hold as he frowned. Ransom leaning back in his chair with an exaggerated eye roll.
Trying to ignore the tension building in the room, you set the beer bottle on his bedside table and grabbed the jersey he had thrown at you.
"I'm not wearing this..." you frowned, holding up Ransom's MU knit. Even their jersey's were menacing.
"Sure you are... to the game with those assholes and Coach Barber" Ransom hummed, before standing up again and grabbing his giant hockey duffle from his bedroom floor, "Levinson will go balistic... and you want him off your back, right?"
You blew out a heavy sigh, but remained silent.
"Y/N... I'm not running a fucking bed-and-breakfast here..." Ransom narrowed his eyes at you, "and I'm not a nice guy... figure your shit out with that goon or wear the jersey..."
"It's not that easy, Ransom... I..." you started, but Ransom cut you off.
"Look... I don't give a shit what you do... but after we win tonight, I'm fucking whatever cunt ends up in my bed - even if that's your pretty little kitty... bet you're so fucking tight... and that it's been way too long... you're just begging to be stretched by a fat cock, huh?" his eyes darkened, staring at you hungrily.
You chirped, opening your mouth to protest, but your throat had gone completely dry.
"Wear it" he pressed, a satisfied smirk curling the corner of his mouth as he turned on the spot, leaving his room without another word.
A bad feeling sat heavy in your gut as you watched him go. Following through with some half-baked plan that you schemed up while drunk with Ransom last night- now suddenly sounded like the worst idea ever.
You stood, holding up Ransom’s jersey before deciding better of it and draping it over the back of his leather chair. You quickly tugged his sweater over your head and proceeded to hang it neatly next to his MU away uniform.
You left Ransom's room, in a pair jeans and a tank top, making your way through the house- on a mission.
It wasn’t long before you found another jersey, hanging from a rack near the kitchen. Taking that one off the hook, you held it up, admiring the quality red white and blue stiching. Your fingers traced the "Tucker" across the back. Lance boasting, just last night, that he was the only one from MU that had ever been invited to play for Team USA at the Olympics. They took gold that year- Lance had the tattoo to prove it.
You shook your head, hanging the jersey back up on its hook. That one wasn't going to cut it either.
Making your way through the kitchen to the other side of the house you stopped right outside his room. You felt like a modern day Goldilocks, not necessarily in looks, but in determination to find a jersey that was just right.
In a moment of panic, you faltered. Could you really be this mean? Did you want to be this mean? Levs had hurt you. Shattered your heart into a million pieces and you were ready for him to feel some of that heartache.
As you stood there, agonizing over everything that had happened in the last two years to lead up to this moment, the bedroom door in front of you swung open.
"Why hello there, dewdrop" his unconventional choice in facial hair made him look at least 5 years older than all the other players on MU as he glanced down at you with, mischief in his eyes, "what can I do for you?"
His words and tone were deceivingly sweet, but you knew he was anything but kind. And he was exactly what you needed to get Ari off your back.
"You mind if I borrow your away jersey tonight?" you chirped before you lost your nerve.
"Thought you'd be wearing Drysdale's'?" his lip curled into a sickening sneer. You weren't sure what it was exactly, but he made your skin crawl.
"No" you said, crossing your arms over your chest as his gaze bore through your thin cotton tank top until you felt exposed.
"An' what do I get in return?" he smirked, leaning in his doorway, his larger than life frame taking up as much space as possible. Could he possibly be taller than Levs?
"I... um..." nervous laughter bubbled up your throat as your arms fell to your sides.
"Don't worry, sweetheart..." he smirked, smoothing his hand over his facial hair, "sure we can work something out..." he turned, disappearing into his room and returning a few seconds later with a dark MU jersey.
He licked his lips before extending the jersey to you, but instead of letting it go when you took it, he yanked you forward, crashing you into his hard chest with a growl as he wrapped a thick arm around your waist.
"Been dying to get a taste of that sweet nectar, dewdrop..." he whispered hot in your ear, "gotta see if that tight little honeypot lives up to all the hype... I got a feeling both holes are just achin’ to be stuffed."
All you could do was whine as you braced your hands against his broad chest. He let you and the jersey go with a snicker, humming to himself as he left you there alone, his jersey in hand.
You stood, frozen on the spot, until you knew he was gone, leaving for the MU arena to get ready for the game tonight. You blow out an exhale, holding the jersey up to read the big block lettering across the back.
"Hansen" you said aloud to yourself. A shiver snaking up your spine. This was a very bad idea.
A/N: so I’m going to post this and run 🫣 I don’t want to know if you hate it 😓🤐

A/N: I love him, your honor 🥹
not beta read. All mistakes are my own.
You shivered, groaning when you felt the floor creaking as someone walked towards you down the hall.
Yenzy sighed, running his hands down his face and frowning as he stood barefoot in a pair of gray sweatpants that hung long on his hips. The obstacle in his direct path to the bathroom another passed out coed.
"Jesus... Cap" Yenzy grumbled, rolling his eyes as he bent down, trying to stretch the sweatshirt over your shivering body, before noticing his name scrawled in cursive across the chest.
"Y/N?" he asked, gently lifting your arm from your face, "what are you doing out here?"
"Yenzy?" you croaked, throat dry from a night of drinking, "why are you in my room? I'm really cold" you whined.
"Come here" Yenzy said, helping you to your feet as he walked you back to his room, "why were you on the floor in the hallway?" he asked, helping you to his bed as you felt him tug your heels from your feet. They fell to the floor with a soft thunk.
"I..." you started, sleepy gaze trailing him across the room, shielding your eyes with a groan when he flipped on his desk lamp with no warning.
"Fuck... I'm at the barn" you remembered, "all those bitches ditched me and I didn't want to walk home by myself... but the couches downstairs were taken... I was gonna take Cappy's bed... but then he came home with Nikki or Nicole... and kicked me out" you breathed out an exhale, squinting while watching appreciatively as a bare chested Yenzy rummaging around his dresser.
"I should go home" you closed your eyes with a groan as the room began to spin a little.
"You're not going anywhere" he snorted, kneeling down in front of you and placing a neatly folded t-shirt and sweatpants in your lap, "you coulda called me... you know" he smiled softly up at you, "what are special friends for?" he smirked with a shy laugh.
You slit one eyes open to look down at him, groaning when he flashed you the prettiest smile you've ever seen.
"Special friends are for making out... and seeing naked..." you smirked, taking the hem of your dress and lifting it up over your head. You reached around to unhook your bra, but Yenzy stopped you before you could figure out the clasp.
"Y/N..." he warned, lifting the shirt he grabbed you from his dresser and bringing it down gently over your head, helping you dress.
You rolled your eyes but fed your arms through the sleeves as you glared down at him.
"Why are you always putting clothes on me instead of taking them off?" you questioned.
"Because... that's what friends do..." he smiled, standing up and pulling his comforter away as he arranged the bed.
"I don't want your shirt... friend" you began tugging it up over your head, your protests dying out when you realized it smelled like him.
"Come on...” he laughed, “I gave you my best shirt... that one's really soft... I like to wear it when I... fuuuuuck" Yenzy cursed when he turned around to find you pulling the shirt off, your nipples on full display through your sheer bra.
"You wear it when you fuck?" you started giggling uncontrollably, not even fighting him when he yanked the shirt back into place, "like every time you fuck?” you snorted, “will you wear it now?"
Yenzy rolled his eyes before giving in to your contagious giggles, fisting the pink shirt and yanking it to him to capturing your lips in a soft kiss.
You sighed into his warm lips, carding your fingers through the short hair at the back of his neck. Yenzy groaned when you licked into his mouth, releasing his hold on your shirt and gently taking your wrists in his large hands.
"No, I won’t be wearing it now…” Yenzy laughed against your lips, breaking the kiss to get back to rearranging his bed.
"So we're gonna fuck in your... flower shirt?" you goaded, looking down at the pink t-shirt with Go Petunia’s scrawled across the front.
"Nope" his smile was so soft and sweet that it made your belly flutter despite his rejection.
"Yenzy... do you even like me?" you asked, watching him make a pillow wall through the middle of his bed.
"Yes" he snorted like it was the dumbest question ever, "I like you..."
"No... I mean... I didn't want to leave for the bars tonight -like you-…” you confessed, "and here you are making a pillow fort so we can sleep platonically in the same bed..."
"Then why did you?" he asked, looking up from his bed, genuinely curious, "leave, I mean?"
"Cause I'm not sure if you like me..." you emphasized again, watching him cross the room to the mini fridge next to his desk.
Jake grabbed a bottled water before opening his desk drawer to fish around for something. He returned to the bed handing you the water before popping the lid off a pain pill bottle.
"Here" he said, offering you two tablets as you opened the water, "for your head..."
"Thanks" you murmured, taking the pills will a sip of water.
"You're a sweet girl" he said, watching you drink and you almost choked on your water before swallowing with a shake of your head.
"I'm not sweet" you corrected him.
"Well... I think you're sweet... and I consider you a friend" he smiled, helping you climb into his bed. Jake continued to tuck you in, pulling the oversized pink t-shirt down over your thighs before lifting the comforter up to your chin. You watched him move around to the other side of the bed before he climbed in, sighing as he got comfortable.
"Just a friend?" you asked, propping your head in your hand as you rested on your elbow to look at him over the fort.
"I guess..." he said, rolling over to face you.
"And if I wanted more?" you probed, chewing your bottom lip, your stomach doing a flip.
"It's your senior year, y/n" Yenzy reminded you.
"So?" you frowned, not needing the reminder that you have no clue what you would be doing after graduation.
"I got a whole 'nother year” he said.
"Jesus, Yenzy" you snorted, "I'm not proposing..." you teased.
"Go to bed, y/n" Yenzy laughed, rolling his eyes as he laid back down on his pillow, "I gotta get up soon..."
You watched him for a long silent minute, feeling your face flush with embarrassment as you recalled that night.
"I know why you don't like me" you said, rolling back over on your pillow and staring up at his ceiling.
"What?" he murmured, halfway to sleep.
"It's because of that night..." you continued, ignoring that he was half asleep, "we were both so stupid drunk and you thought it sucked... and now..."
"Well... to be fair... you did suck" Yenzy's voice was thick with sleep, it was quiet for a beat before you both burst into laughter.
"Can I keep your fucking shirt?" you sighed, wiping the tears from your eyes.
"Why would you want to keep that shirt?" he asked, rolling over and pulling the pillow wall down so he could see you properly.
"So you can't wear your fucking shirt with any other girls..." you smirked, stifling a yawn with the back of your hand.
"There isn't any other girls" Yenzy snorted as you tossed the pillows away and moved closer to him, making yourself comfortable against his bare chest.
"There could be one girl..." you whispered as he wrapped his arm around you, softly running his knuckles up and down your back. Yenzy turned into you, humming when his pressed his lips to your crown.
"You know I don't wear that shirt when I'm having sex right?" he asked as you giggled against his chest, sighing into a peaceful sleep while you cuddled with the cutest and most infuriating boy on the hockey team.

Pairings: collegehockeyplayer!Ari Levinson x female reader (Levs x itty bitty)
Warnings: ANGST- so much angst (I’m sorry!), explicit language, mean girls, feelings of low self esteem, broken heart, mention of physical violence (female against male), Cappy being an ass, flashback scenes (must be 18+)
Word Count: 2.6K
A/N: angst was not my intent for these two- well not this much angst. I’m sorry!
This is not beta read. All mistakes are my own.
"Yeah, I kinda just snapped" you grimaced before taking the to-go cup from the barista and nodding a thank you, "I just..." you blew out a heavy exhale.
"Well you are my new favorite person and I'm just sorry I missed it" bug beamed from ear-to-ear, "it's about time somebody gave that doofus a black eye," she almost looked giddy as she accepted her drink before stepping away from the coffee cart in the direction of the arena.
"I've never punched anyone before... well... other than Levs and it was always playful and he's a brick house" you smiled, gaze dropping to the ground as you felt your cheeks heat.
"Um... right?" Bug giggled, I thought Barnesy was a beefcake... but Levs? Holy hell. What's that like?" She raised her eyebrow suggestively.
"I wouldn't know" you sighed, shoulders slumping a little as you took a sip of the coffee bug offered to buy you after finding out about your tipsy tussle with the hockey captain.
"What?" bug stopped dead in her tracks as she arm barred you, "I thought you and Ari were... dating?"
"No" you felt a lump building in your throat, "we... I don't really know what we are... we've been friends forever and we made this stupid deal to take it a step further... to... you know... when he scores on the ice. But he hasn't since... and Cappy thinks it's my fault."
"What?" bug made a face, "oh, that fucking meatball..." she grumbled to herself, shaking her head.
"Ari's just so superstitious and I..." your voice cracked with emotion.
"Hey... no... y/n... stop!" bug said, pulling you in for an awkward side hug, "I know we haven't known each other long, but even I can tell how head-over-heels that slab of beef is for you. And he actually seems like one of the good ones."
"I guess" you sniffled as you continued on towards the arena.
"Oh... before I forget" bug reached into her bag, pulling out a folded up t-shirt, "it's to promote the adoption drive and the calendar... it has Lev's number on the back… he already paid for it… he wants you wearing his number, that’s gotta say something…” she wagged her eyebrows at you and you took it, rolling your eyes with a warm laugh.
“So… you wearing Cappy’s?” you asked bug.
“Not exactly” she smirked, holding open her coat to reveal the “Team Cappy Team Literally Anyone Else” shirt she was wearing.
“Oh my god” you snorted, shaking your coffee a little too hard as it spilled over the rim, “that’s amazing! Did you have that made?” you asked, sipping the spilled coffee off the lid.
“No” bug tried biting back her smile, “Crappy had it made for me.”
“You like him” you smiled softly at your new friend.
“I’m really trying not to…” bug frowned, apologetically.
“Don’t” you reassured her, “he’s actually a good guy… or he used to be at least.”
“I don’t know” bug shook her head, taking another sip of her coffee.
“I think you’re good for him” you offered, “maybe he’ll stop being such an ass with you…”
“Well if he’s an ass again you have my full support in giving him another black eye” bug giggled as she nudged you with her shoulder.
"Thanks” you smirked with a playful eye roll, “when is the calendar shoot, anyway?" you asked nodding to the adoption drive t-shirt in your hand.
"Next week" bug sighed, "and everything has to go just right... we won't have enough time to redo any shots before the photos have to go to the printer..."
"I'm sure it will be fine" you smiled, "do you need any help?"
"Thank you" bug smiled at you, "I think we’re OK... clover will be there and the photographer has 2 assistants that are amazing... Cappy said he would be on his best behavior and the rest of the guys are being surprisingly cooperative."
"Even Shea and Storm?" you couldn't believe it.
"Even Shea and Storm" bug smirked.
"How?" you wanted to know what sorcery bug held over these guys.
"Told them they'd get to see boobs" bug laughed.
"You're showing them your boobs?" you snorted with laughter.
"Hell no!" bug laughed, "I'm going to have Cappy do it... he's got a good set of man boobs..."
You shook your head laughing as you pushed the door to the arena open.
"I gotta go find Levs" you told bug, "save me a seat?"
"Sure" bug smiled, waving as she turned in the direction of the stands.
"Hey, bit" Levs called out as he hockey stopped in front of the boards, taking his helmet off and ducking to press a soft kiss to your forehead.
"How's your hand, slugger?" he teased. You brought your hand up with a cringe, the small knuckles littered with bruises from last night.
"I... I'm sorry" you couldn't meet his gaze, totally mortified, "he just... god... he's such a fucking asshole, ya know?"
"Trust me... I know" Ari's exhale was heavy as he gently took your hand, bringing it to his mouth and ghosting his lips over the knuckles with soft kisses.
"How ya feeling?" you asked, changing the subject as you tugged your hand away, still embarrassed at last night’s outburst as a kaleidoscope of butterflies bloomed in your belly.
Another 3 games had passed leaving Ari scoreless and cranky.
"Good... I think" he shrugged just as a puck banked off the boards and slide in his direction. Levs turned and lobbed the puck back towards the net- missing by several inches.
"He was making 'em before you showed up" number seven said, sporting a dark shiner.
"Fuck off, Crappy" you grumbled.
"Yeah... whatcha gonna do? Give me another black eye?" Cappy snorted.
“You see bug’s shirt yet?” you goaded.
Steve narrowed his eyes at you before he turned in the direction of student seating- scanning the stands for bug.
"Enough, Cap" Ari warned as Cappy shook his head, skating away.
"Don't let him get to you" Ari said, turning back to you with a smile. But you’ve known Levs long enough to know that the smile was forced. Ari was in his head and Crappy was making it worse.
"But what if he's right?" your voice cracked with emotion.
Levs shook his head, putting his helmet back on and skating towards the goal. He whistled to Barnesy, signaling for a puck and Bucky shot one to him.
Levs turned back, making sure you were watching as he angled his stick back, a slap shot cracking over the ice when the puck sailed towards the empty warm up net. The puck pinged off the post and missed.
Your eyes prickled as you watched Ari miss two more times. Blinking back the tears you left without saying goodbye- trying to make your way to the bathroom before you burst out in tears.
You stood sniffling in a stall when you heard them. Straining to listen as your heart hammered in your chest.
"I knew it... the entire time" Kimmy insisted. You could see her through the crack in the stall, she was leaning into the mirror while putting on lipgloss.
"You think they were fucking the whole time?" another girl asked.
"Oh, I know they were" Kimmy scoffed.
Wrong.
"What a slut" her friend said, "she probably fucks the whole team..."
Wrong. They were all wrong. You hadn't slept with anyone on the team. Not even Ari.
"Well... take him back" another friend said, "he wasn't hers to begin with... and besides you're hotter."
A fresh wave of tears spilled as the mean girls cackled, leaving the bathroom and no doubt going to find Ari.
You pulled another handful of tissue from the toilet paper roll, feeling sick to your stomach and utterly sorry for yourself. You should just leave. How stupid could you be... if Levs hadn't scored yet did he actually really want to?
And what had Crappy say last night?
"You took one of the top scorers on the team and nutured him. Give him his balls back, tt!"
That's when you punched the smirk right off his stupid face.
What did Steve Rogers know? You mattered. Levs told you so himself.
After taking a few more minutes to compose yourself, you sucked it up and made you way back towards the ice- knowing that Ari would want your usual send off for good luck.
You stopped dead in your tracks when you saw him skating around carefree on the ice as Kimmy and her friends cheered him on. Ari came to a stop in front of Kimmy as she reached out grabby hands and he dropped a puck to her.
You rolled your eyes when she kissed it for good luck and tossed it back on the ice. Your chest tightened as you watched Ari reach out with his stick and take the puck.
You silently chastised yourself for hoping he'd miss as he lined the shot up, his stick cracking over the puck as it zipped across the ice- practically burning a hole through the net.
"Gooooooooaaaaaaaaaal" Cappy cheered obnoxiously as Kimmy and her friends bounced and clapped. Steve hooked the puck from the net and shot it back to Ari, he moved to shoot it again before Kimmy said something. Ari hesitated for a moment before picking it back up and handing it to her.
You couldn't hear what Kimmy was saying but saw the way her friends giggled as Ari leaned in, Kimmy holding the puck up to his lips before pulling it away and pressing a kiss to his mouth at the last second.
Your heart sank, the instant bitter taste of bile rising up your throat as you blinked back a fresh wave of tears.
Ari pulled away instantly, frowning at Kimmy as he spoke until his gaze caught yours standing about 6 feet behind them.
The shirt with Ari's number for the adoption drive fell from your hand as tears streamed freely down your face. Shaking your head at him, it was as if you were having a silent conversation, Ari's expression looked pained- his eyes pleading as you shook your head, turning on your heels and walking away.
"Bit... don't" you heard him call as you weaved through the packed arena, fans filling the stands for the game.
The lump in your throat burned as you wiped your tears with the sleeve of Ari's oversized hoodie, hurrying towards the front door as you tried like hell to hold it together.
"Bit....stop!" you heard Ari's voice boom down the long hallway, pausing only briefly you saw the giant, lumbering after you, still on his skates, as the crowd of people parted like the Red Sea for him.
You chirped, turning back around and pushing your way through the swarm of fans with more urgency. You couldn't do this anymore. Not while your heart was breaking.
"Bit.... Fuck! Y/N... stop... please" his voice was fading into the noise of the arena the more distance you put between you.
No doubt Ari was getting swarmed by now. Always a fan favorite and for once it was working in your favor.
You made it to the door, gripping the handle and letting out a trembling breath you didn't even realize you were holding. Your lungs burned, chest ached and you knew you shouldn't but you turned back for one last look.
You couldn't help smiling as the sob choked up your throat. Ari, surrounded by a sea of his young fans. A gentle giant, still trying to push through the throng of people as he looked up, locking eyes with you where you stood, hesitating at the entrance.
"Please" he mouthed, still about 20 feet away from you, even from this distance you could tell his eyes were watery and it made you want to run to him. Want to make it all better.
"I'm sorry" you murmured, pushing the door open and slipping though without looking back. The door slammed shut behind you with a finality you weren't ready for, but even then, you wouldn't let yourself turn back.
You walked across campus, trying to steady your breathing, at least until you made it to your car- parked in the big lot across campus.
You half expected him to come chasing after you. If you were being honest- you wanted him to chase after you. But it was time. This will-they, won't-they over the past 2 years was slowly eating you alive. It wasn't good for either of you.
You had been right there all along and he never made it happen. He never sealed the deal. And you had tried. You told him what you wanted the end of your sophomore year.
He had said it mattered. It was supposed to matter.
A sob bubbled up your throat, painful and hot as tears blurred your vision. You were about 10 minutes from your car. Damn this large campus.
When Ari left for summer break you lasted a week. One agonizing week without him. You decided you were going to go- surprise him in Canada. He had always said he wanted to take you- wanted you to meet his Mom and the small town he grew up in. He wanted to show you the lake where he learned how to skate and where his junior team won their first championship.
But the night before you were set to leave, you saw it. A seven second video, playing on a loop. You probably watched it 20 times.
Ari with his on-again-off-again high school sweetheart- kissing outside a bar.
She posted it. Levs didn't even have a social media. You were sure he didn't even know about it. But that's what made it so damning. That and the fact that he was wearing a tournament tshirt Coach V had made only a few weeks back.
Oh, how you wanted to convince yourself it was an old video.
You leaned against you car, sighing with a heavy kind of temporary relief. You were glad to be back at your car- but not sure what the hell you were going to do now. You couldn't be here.
Gripping the handle and yanking the door open you sat in your car, holding the steering wheel as you finally let yourself feel. The tears were coming fast as you sobbed, sobbed so hard it made your chest ache and your head throb.
You cried for all the time you spent pining for him. For all the hopeful moments spent in his arms thinking someday. Someday this would happen for you. Someday you would matter enough. But it didn't. You didn't.
And now that you saw it from the other side you still couldn't understand why that someday never came.
When Ari came back after that summer, you acted like nothing happened. You didn't tell him that you saw the kiss. You just dove into your school work, dated a handful of other guys unsuccessfully and continued to be Ari's good friend. His itty bitty. Hoping that one day he would figure it out. That he would truly see that it did matter.
You stayed in your car the duration of the game- only realizing it when you saw people start to funnel out in the direction of the arena. The crowd looked happy which meant the boys won. You hoped Ari scored. But not for you this time. For him.
You took a deep clarifying breath, easing the car out of the parking lot and turning away from campus. You knew what you needed to do and for once, it didn't involve Ari.
Turns out, even after all this time, it didn't actually matter after all.

A/N: not beta read. All mistakes are my own.
The intercom at your campus apartment buzzed, signally Sam was here- right on time. You walked over to your front door, buzzing him in before returning to your bathroom, toothbrush still in your mouth.
After getting a late start to your day, thanks to a restless night's sleep, you had just finished brushing your teeth- putting your toothbrush away and turning off the water. Walking back down the hall, you heard Sam knock at the front door before a loud thud and string of curses followed.
When you unlocked the door, pulling it open, you couldn’t help but laugh. There Sam was stuffing shirts back into an oversized box in a hurry.
"Hey, Sam" you greeted, forcing a smile even though your nerves were a little fried.
"Hey, y/n... I'm uh... sorry" he flashed you a nervous smile from where he knelt on the floor.
"About this or about Captain Meatball?" you teased, bending down to grab the last few tshirts before tossing then into the box.
"Thanks" he looked up at you, "so where do you want these? I still got a couple more boxes in my car… do you need them all now?”
"Oh... come on in" you said, standing and stepping out of his way while holding the door open, "the table is fine" you said, ushering him into your small two bedroom apartment, “and I can ask my roommate to help when you leave- we’ll come out and each grab a box…”
"OK” Sam nodded and then his face fell serious, “so....um... about the shirts..." he started, placing the box on the table and avoiding eye contact.
"Sam... I swear to god... I'm going to strangle him..." you grumbled, grabbing a tshirt from the pile and holding it up for inspection.
It didn't look any different, the pretty impressive Pucks for Paws design Cappy had sketched with several dogs and cats was on the front- just as you submitted. You turned the shirt over finding a crisp number 17 with Storm scrawled across the top. The bottom of the shirt had the information for the adoption drive- same design you had submitted to the printing shop.
"I don't get it?" you asked, looking up at Sam, "it's the same..." you narrowed your eyes at him.
"Not all of them" Sam grimaced. You could tell he was uncomfortable- waiting for the other shoe to drop.
"Sam... I don't have time for this..." you huffed, grabbing a handful of shirts and turning them over, "will you just tell me what that asshat did?"
"He changed the quantity of shirts ordered per jersey number... got rid of all the number 7's" Sam blew out a heavy exhale, shaking his head as he shrugged his backpack off and unzipped it.
"What?" you squeaked, "why would he do that?" your voice had gone all shrill, "he knows his jersey is a best seller, right?" you were starting to panic as you riffled through the shirts, "he has to know..."
Sure enough, out of the hundreds of shirts ordered, not one was a number 7. All his other teammates were accounted for- including the underclassman.
“Well… they’ve gotta be in the other boxes” you rationalized.
Sam just shook his head apologetically without saying a word.
"He did have one number 7 made..." Sam offered, pulling the shirt from the bag and handing it to you.
"How is one shirt going to help?" you were fuming as you took it from Sam, "are we auctioning it off to the highest bidder? He's such a narcissist..." you rolled your eyes with a snarl.
"Well... it's not for sale" Sam said, "it's... uh... for you..."
"For me?" you scowled in confusion, trying to make sense of all of this until your phone vibrated to life in your back pocket. You continued grumbling under-your-breath as you fished it out of your pants, scoffing before you answered it.
"You better have a good explanation for this, Steven" you growled, holding the video call up so he could see the box of shirts, "why would you pull all your shirts from printing when you know everyone's gonna want your number?"
Cappy smirked at the use of his full name- he had never heard you call him Steven before now.
Sam busied himself by digging around in his backpack again.
"Bug... did Wilson give you the other shirt?" Cappy asked.
"What other shirt?" you huffed, looking up at Sam as he presented you with another folded shirt.
You took a deep breath before snatching it from Sam's outstretched hand, scowling at him as he backed away slowly with his hands in the air. You knew it wasn't Sam's doing, but you really felt like shooting the messenger right about now.
"What is this, Cap?" your tone was a little more whiny then you were going for, but you were frustrated and tired, just wanting this to go off without a hitch.
"Read it" Cappy instructed, smirking.
"What?" you snapped, not understanding how any of this was even remotely funny.
"Have any plans tonight, bug?" he asked so nonchalantly it made another wave of fury course through your veins.
You didn't even answer him, just shot him a glare that should have melted your phone screen.
"There's a thing at the barn, my house... tonight before the game tomorrow..." Cappy continued as you ignored him, propping your phone against the box and holding up the shirt.
You let out a dry huff that almost resembled a laugh. OK... this wasn't half bad- but how exactly was this shirt going to help the adoption drive?
"Team Cappy" you read, the screen printed words were crossed out and underneath it in bold text read "Team literally anyone else" holding the shirt up as you smirked.
It was silent for a moment before you spoke again. Steve looked nervous on the other end of the call.
"I don't hate it... but I'm still not following your game plan, Cap" you scowled down at his pretty face on your phone screen.
"Turn it over..." Cappy said, flashing you his boyish grin that made you want to slug him.
"Resistant to Meatball Charms" you snorted a laugh, reading off the text on the back of the shirt. The bottom of the shirt was, thankfully, the same as the others with the info for the adoption drive. You blew out a frustrated exhale, annoyed that this was working- yet again.
"Why don't you try it on... I'll watch... I mean wait" he winked.
"Steve..." you whined, "this isn't a game... those animals are depending on this... on me... I can't let them down."
"Bug... you won't" he insisted as a hiccuped escaped your lips, eyes prickling with tears.
"Shit..." Steve's voice cracked, "are you crying?"
"No" you frowned, but a few more angry tears fell as you tried to sniffle them back.
"Bug… baby... I'm sorry!" Steve sounded genuinely concerned, "shit... I swear I was just trying to be sweet..."
"By messing with the order?" your voice was watery as you scoffed.
"No!" his voice was determined, but you were so frustrated and didn't want him to see you cry- opting to end the call instead.
"Stupid, stupid, pretty... stupid... dumb boy" you huffed, marching into the kitchen to get yourself a glass of water. But you nearly ran into Sam who had escaped to the kitchen to give your heated conversation some privacy.
"Sorry, Sam" you sniffled, walking to the cabinet to take a glass and fill it from the faucet.
Sam stood motionless, not really sure what he should do or say. He had a feeling Cappy's bonehead plan would backfire.
"He's just so stupid... ya know?" you sighed, after taking a sip of your water. You wiped away a stray tear with the back of your hand, eye lashes wet with your emotion.
"Tell me about it" Sam agreed with a chuckle, “there’s still time to figure this t-shirt thing out… I can…”
"Hey, y/n" your roommate called, from down the hall, "you OK?" she squeaked when she saw Sam standing next to you, her eyes going wide as she looked down at her bright pink pjs with cupcakes all over them and matching fluffy slippers.
"Yeah... I'm fine... just stupid Captain Meatball" you huffed as your roommate's gaze flicked back to Sam.
"Not Captain Meatball" Sam thumbed his chest in clarification, "I'm Sam" he gave your roommate a soft smile, "hi, there, cupcake" Sam's timbre was molasses on a hot summer day as he offered his outstretched hand to your roommate.
Your roommate froze, looking down at his hand without saying a word before turning in her fluffy slippers and practically scampering back to her room.
"What the hell was that?" you eyed him up.
"That..." Sam smirked, "was cute lunch lady" he said, craning his neck to look down the hall towards your roommate's bedroom.
"Her name's your roommate's name" you corrected, "and she's single, ya know..." taking another sip of water as you leaned against the counter.
"That so?" Sam smirked, "she works in the caf…and she doesn't charge me extra for my breakfast burritos... I always ask for double the filling after morning practice and she never charges me..."
"How romantic" you teased, pushing off the counter and walking back out to the table where the box of shirts sat.
"An' she always gives me more sweet potato breakfast tots then the other guys..." Sam continued, smiling from ear-to-ear.
"Definitely a story for the grandkids..." you continued teasing when a knock sounded at your apartment door.
"Can I get her number?" Sam asked, his gaze following you to the door.
"No way!" you snorted with a laugh, "you want her number you gotta ask her... and don't call her cute lunch lady when you do it..." you said opening the front door- you smile immediately turning to a frown.
You turned around without saying a word, leaving the door open when you walked back into your apartment.
"Bug... lemme explain..." Steve said, rushing in and closing the door behind him.
"And that's my cue..." Sam said, nodding at Cappy and grabbing his bag to leave. He gave you a quick wave before exiting your apartment in a hurry.
"Bug..." Cappy started again when Sam had left, walking over to stand across from you at the table, “I…”
“Screwed up my order… who knows why… and sent Sam to do your dirty work?” you huffed.
“No!” Cappy started again.
“Then why?” you raised your voice, nearly yelling, “why would you do this to me?”
“Bug… I got rid of all the number 7 jerseys because I want you to be the only one to wear my number from now on...” Cappy blurted as his cheeks flushed pink, “I thought I was bein’ sweet... a grand gesture or something... but I think I just fucked it all up” he harrumphed, squirming on the spot.
It was the first time you've ever seen him anything but cool, collected and cocky- noting the sweat beading at his forehead.
Your chest tightened and your stomach did a flip. He did this for you?
You closed your eyes, taking a deep breath and forced your face to remain stoic. In your stubbornness, you refused to give away any emotion as you pursed your lips together.
"I had my number made on one shirt..." he continued, "just for you... if you want... or if you're still unsure... you can wear the other one... they both have all the Pucks for Paws information on the back" he exhaled, sinking into a chair before he grabbed his water bottle from his backpack and chugged it.
"Did you run here?" you asked, pulling out a chair and sitting opposite him.
"Yes" he grunted, finishing off his water. Cappy sat silent, watching you and waiting for any indication as to how you were feeling- if you were planning on strangling him or if the next step in his plan was working.
You sat quietly glaring at him, arms crossed as you chewed your bottom lip in contemplation.
"Well, actually... I lied..." he added, unzipping his bag and pulling out a small bundle of fabric, "I did have this one made for Mary" he held up a tiny shirt with the Pucks for Paws design and you couldn't help but swoon when he flipped it over to reveal his name and number 7 on the back of the baby sized shirt.
"Damnit" you frowned at him, your arms still tightly crossed at your chest, "you're such an ass."
"So you're going for option 2 then?" he smirked, "you know you won't match Mary if you do..." he goaded, leaning back in his chair with a soft smile.
"I'm going to kill you if this doesn't work" you huffed, fighting the tug at the corner of your mouth as you pictured you and Mary wearing matching Rogers jerseys.
"I figured" Steve smiled, laughing when you balled your shirt up, throwing it in his stupid pretty face.

summary: he's not supposed to see you like this.
word count: 2.1k
warnings: mentions of drinking
(part 1) (part 2) (part 3) (part 4) (part 5) (part 6)
(part 7) (part 9) (part 10) (series masterlist)
You tilt your chin, dramatizing your wide, shimmery eyes. “It’s bad luck, Steve.”
He gives you a small pout of his own. “Let me see.”
You poke his boutonnière weakly. Your bracelets brush against the throw pillows that your loyal bridesmaids have haphazardly clasped over your chest. “Please go away?”
Sersi frowns. “Why is he even here?”
Steve ignores her, and the lighthearted smack Helen lays on his arm. “Honey, this isn’t fair. You see me wear tuxes all the time.”
“Rogers.” Natasha adjusts her protective cushion and pins him with a deadly glare. “Get the fuck out.”
Besides one lingering look he gave the full-length mirror, appreciating the back of your wedding dress, Steve’s eyes haven’t left yours. “I didn’t think you cared about this stuff.”
You hug a pillow to your body, relieving Natasha and Sersi of their duties. “I don’t.”
And why should Steve care either? Even if a groom seeing the bride too early means bad luck, your relationship doesn’t exactly resemble a conventional romance. You didn’t need luck, only a signed piece of paper, a hundred pictures, and the illusion of being a happily married, rock solid couple.
Not that you weren’t happy, in your own way.
In his attempts to make things good for you, Steve doted on you almost to a fault, assembling your favorite dishes and insisting that you don’t lift a finger fixing or cleaning anything. He let you plan most of the wedding, a dangerous game given the large budget he offered and how you’ve dreamt about the day since you were little. You discussed your ideas once or twice when you were still with Shangqi, yet scarcely imagined much more than a modestly priced dress, fifty invitations, and casual catering.
But Steve said yes to everything. To test him, you once proposed something ridiculous: a tiara.
You’d look nice in a tiara, sweetheart, he said absentmindedly, hunched over a report.
It exhausts you to witness his devotion and to continually push against it, especially given the ten to twelve hour days he already spends working. The National Convention looms on the horizon, a dark cloud which has injected atmospheric pressure around this event for months. Because once Steve gets the nomination, he can’t step onto that national stage without a lovely wife by his side.
After a few dinner conversations, he promised to put away work at least two days prior to the wedding, and he appears visibly more relaxed now. But still. He should’ve asked, instead of casually waltzing inside your bridal suite, accompanied by Maria.
“Then let me see.” He touches the corner of your pillow.
You whimper. “I really like this dress, and if you say anything bad about it, I will divorce you.”
“We’re not married yet.”
“And we never will be,” you say, tugging his bowtie. He let you pick the color, and even bought socks to match. “Not even a twitch, okay?”
He straightens his face, adopting his senator voice. “I promise.”
The pillow drops half an inch. Then, Helen’s palm connects with his bright white shirt and shoves. “Nope, as the maid of honor, I am intervening. You’re leaving, now.”
Steve groans. “Cho.”
“You heard her,” Natasha agrees flatly. Unlike Helen, her yanking actually knocks him off balance. “Let’s go.”
He follows her dutifully, but not before throwing you a dopey smile. “Bye, honey.”
“Bye, Steve.” Tucking your chin, you admire his wide shoulders, the crisply creased pants, and the flash of his green socks as he exits.
Helen snaps her fingers three times in front of you. “Oh my God, you’re so fucking whipped.”
You wrinkle your nose. “No, I’m not.”
“You two are disgusting,” Sersi says, her inappropriately polite nod and English accent making you laugh.
You toss the pillow onto the chaise lounge. “Okay, well, I’m allowed to be whipped.” You smooth the front of your dress, ensuring no stray fibers got caught on your complicated bodice. “He’s gonna be my husband.” A new word to you, like fiancé once was.
Mrs. Rogers. So bizarre.
“Speaking of husbands.” Sersi taps her keyboard, giggling to herself. “I think Dane is having a wardrobe crisis.”
You and Helen gather around her phone, bursting into laughter. Joaquín poses cheesily next to Dane’s gray slacks, which have split along the seam of his ass.
Sersi swipes away Joaquín’s urgent texts. “He’s requesting a needle and thread, stat.”
Helen rotates, her skirt swishing prettily as she locates her bag. “I have some.”
“We gotta go.” Sersi grabs both your hands, marveling at you. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Helen examines you seriously. “If Rogers comes back in here—”
“Go,” you laugh.
Which leaves… Maria.
Who never seems to uncross her arms. “You look great.”
You barely shrug; any sudden movement could send your hair toppling down. You silently thank Dane for taking the brunt of the wardrobe malfunctions today. “Thank you.”
You fidget nervously. The ceremony starts in almost half an hour. You’ve paced circles all day to soothe your anxiety, mostly looking forward to the reception. With a bit of patience, you’ll soon be surrounded by drinks and friends and food and a far more comfortable party outfit.
Steve must feel the same. You wonder again why he couldn’t wait a little longer to see you.
Maria, manager extraordinaire, is just as aware of the time as you. “Here.” She lifts the veil off the nearby vanity table, gesturing for you to crouch so she can affix it. “Are you nervous?”
“Um, yeah.” Your traitorous eyes catch your reflection and, without warning, your thoughts swim with uncertainty. “Do you think he’ll like it?”
“You’ve come a long way if all you care about is him liking your dress.” She chuckles. “He’ll love it.”
Maria forms a half-circle around you, correcting the train of your skirt. Honestly, you’ve never witnessed her so chilled out either. Maybe the campaign has affected her more than you realize. She must enjoy some sense of victory by attending this momentous wedding, the product of the blind date she arranged.
“Maria.”
“Mmm.”
“Why did you choose me?”
Maria pockets her hands inside her jumpsuit. “Not to insult you, but…” She pauses. “You’re not the only one we asked.”
You nod. “I know. He told me.”
“He’s not very smart, that one,” she remarks dully.
“Who were they?”
Twisting your fingers together, you imagine the weight of an elaborate flower bouquet between them. Then the cold surface of another ring, a shiny and steadfast reminder of the promise you’ll soon make.
Sometimes you still wonder what the hell you’re doing marrying Steve Rogers.
“Two friends of mine,” she says carefully. “I was honestly just looking for people I could trust to keep a secret without forcing them to sign an NDA.”
You stare at her blankly.
Maria clears her throat. “Darcy, and Hope.”
“Why did they say no?”
Maria blows a short stream of air, pretending to be deep in thought. “Well, Darcy works for SWORD and already likes her government work.” She purses her lips. “Um, Hope owns a tech company with her dad.”
A sensible answer, and a good sign that neither had anything against Steve personally. You should feel satisfied. Shut up, and go into the wedding certain that you’ve always been the best candidate for his partner.
And yet, these women’s personalities echo someone else equally independent and dedicated to her work. “Would you have asked Helen?”
Maria holds your gaze, her tough love unwavering. “Yes. I was going to.”
You let the diamond of your engagement ring catch your thumb, rotating it over and over.
It seems like forever ago when you posted pictures online gushing about your new fiancé and proudly displaying your diamond. You and Steve fended off questions from friends and curious paparazzi alike, telling everyone that his proposal was intimate. That all-important question would remain concealed behind the walls of your shared home.
In reality, early on, you and Steve sat down with a laptop and he requested that you order whichever ring you wanted.
You’re going to wear it. I want you to like it.
He meant it well; he means everything well. But Steve was staying late at the office when the jewelry arrived inside ugly cardboard packaging. You ripped it open, slipped the thing on, and continued with your nighttime routine.
How would Helen have reacted, in your shoes? You wonder if she would’ve stumbled into a brief but intense bout of crying the same way you had.
More likely, she would have overcome the feeling, like she overcomes most things. “Oh.”
Maria responds gently. “I could tell Steve needed a break.”
No shit, you think kindly, never knowing Steve for his laidback nature. “From what?” You scoff. “All the beautiful, powerful women?”
At least, you imagine the others to be beautiful. Stunning, probably.
A small crease forms in Maria’s perfectly smooth forehead. For the first time, she seems disappointed in you. “Steve has spent his entire life trying to live up to people’s expectations. Mostly his own.” Again, she busies herself with your veil, the silky fabric brushing the inside of your elbow. “He needed to get out of his head.”
And look after some washed-up school teacher. “So me, floundering without a job—”
"No,” she interjects. “He needs someone who sees him. Beyond his job, beyond what he can offer."
Doubt spins itself into a tight ball, lodging inside your throat. “You don’t sound like his campaign manager.”
Because… why did you and Steve get together at all? It was a trade. A change in the trajectory of your life, in exchange for your presence in his. Helping boost his campaign. Your signature on the non-disclosure agreement as the cherry on top.
“I’m a strategist, I’m not heartless.” Your eyes connect in the mirror. Hers are blue, as blue as Steve’s. “You make him happy.”
Do you?
You make him smile, sometimes. And laugh, when you force him to watch your favorite sitcoms instead of parking himself in front of the twenty-four hour news. Some invisible burden ascends off his shoulders when you compliment his cooking. A pink tinge rises in his cheeks whenever you tie his tie, or take his hand and hold him close. Months and months later, that still hasn’t dissipated.
You have a crystal-clear picture in your head of how he would react to your dress: the open fondness in his eyes, his lips falling open for a second before curving into a smile.
You’re so beautiful, he’d say. I’m so lucky. And he’d mean it.
Maybe that could be enough. Maybe you could be enough.
Your chest pinches sharply, your vision blurring at the edges, yet only when she hands you a tissue does it all spill over. “This might come as a surprise, but Steve was such a sad little shit before—” You toss your arms around Maria, laughing tearfully while she awkwardly pats your waist.
After a moment, your chiming phone brings you out of the embrace.
“Told you,” she says, somewhat smug. Then, with tenderness: “Aren’t I the best manager ever?”
You grin at the screen too. Sleep-deprived Steve.
She arranges your skirt again, then moves toward the exit. “I’ll see you out there.”
It’s a video call. Grateful for waterproof makeup, you dab at your cheeks before answering. “This doesn’t count, right?” He’s grinning.
“No, I don’t think it does.” You tilt your camera. Not the most flattering angle, but you avoid capturing the neckline of your dress. “Helen’s gone though, if you wanna see.”
“I’ll wait for the big reveal.” The chaotic bustle inside his room obscures his words. You picture Dane in his boxers and Joaquín mending his pants while your friends snap photos and chat with Sam and Natasha. Steve turns from his phone briefly, situating himself elsewhere. The hallway, you’d guess, given the wallpaper and the significantly lower volume in the background. “I wanted to check in. How are you doing?”
“I’m good.”
"Yeah?”
"Even though this is the craziest thing I’ve ever done.“
He chuckles. "Me too. And I’m running for President.”
"It’s not a bad thing, though,” you reply. Luckily, you sit alone in the bridal suite. No one hears how soft and high your voice gets, talking to Steve. “How are you?”
“Nervous. Excited.”
You wanna kiss that nervous-excited smile off his face; he can’t seem to get rid of it. “What for?”
“Seeing you,” he answers honestly.
You bite your lips, a fruitless attempt to muffle your shy hum. “You saw me like, ten minutes ago.”
Maybe at last you understand why he barged into your room.
You’d need to travel down half a dozen corridors, and add in a few left turns, and eventually you’d find him. Leaning against the wall, the screen illuminating his face. Easy in theory. Yet, the journey seems to drag on for miles. He’s too far from you, from where you want him. Right here, right now.
You check the time. Ten more minutes, then all you have to do is walk down the aisle.
He’ll be yours.
Steve softens. “I like seeing you, sweetheart.”

"Bug?" Cappy answered the call after the second ring, "you OK?"
"I won't take money from Mary" you exhaled, chewing at your thumbnail as you sat cross-legged in your bed. Your room was pitch black, save the light from your phone screen. You finally gave in and called Cappy after you had been tossing and turning for nearly an hour.
"...um... good?" Steve laughed, getting up from the living room couch and making his way towards the stairs.
"Cappy... where are you going? It's your turn" you heard a women's voice whining in the background.
"You're busy" you exhaled, rolling your eyes, "I shouldn't have called."
"No, bug! I'm glad you called" you could picture Cappy's warm smile, "that's... nothing. It's movie and game night and some friends of the guys came over."
"It's almost 2am..." you frowned.
"Yeah" Steve agreed, making his way up the steps to his room.
"On a Wednesday" you added.
"Yup" he confirmed.
"You do movie and game nights until 2am on Wednesdays?" you asked, "what about classes or practice?"
"The team has late start on Thursday's" Steve said, pushing his bedroom door open and finding Gretzky curled up on his bed. Steve crossed the room before sinking down gently next to the small sleeping cat.
"Everyone on the team?" you asked.
"Everyone on the team" he confirmed, smiling into his phone, "you could come sometime" he offered, "if you're really that worried about our sleep habits..."
"I wasn't..." you huffed before Steve cut you off.
"I'd definitely stay in bed if you tucked me in..." you could almost hear his eyebrows waggle while he mercilessly flirted.
"Meatball" you rolled your eyes, fighting the urge to smirk at his ridiculousness.
"OK..." Steve shrugged, "But seriously" his laugh was warm before he cleared his throat, "you could come over for a movie night... the rest of the team would be here... not just me... it would be nice."
"No thanks" you said, shooting him down -too quickly- before thinking better of it, "but... it's not... I don't... I mean..." your exhale was heavy, struggling to find the words, "I don't hate you."
"Good to know" he laughed, "if you change your mind, next week's movie night is Gremlins."
"Gremlins?" you snorted, "that weird 80s movie with the gerbil things?"
"They’re called Mogwai" Steve corrected, laughing, "it's Storm's favorite movie from when he was a kid... I picked Goonies for mine..."
"Oh... well I guess that's kinda cool" you smirked.
There was a long beat, but it was a comfortable quiet.
"So... what's up, ladybug?" Steve finally asked, breaking the silence.
"I... couldn't sleep" you said, narrowing your brows as you faltered for only a second at the new term of endearment, "I know you're trying to be nice... but I won't take Mary's money..."
"You keep saying that" Steve's brows furrowed with confusion.
"Well... it's true..." you were determined.
"Bug... can ya help me out here?" Cappy quipped, "I know that beautiful brain of yours is a lot bigger than mine... but I'm not following."
You felt your cheeks heat as you ducked your face, resting your cheekbone on your knuckles and smiling so hard it made your face hurt.
"Oh... uh... yeah" you sputtered, "well, Frank said the team raised money for Mary last year. If the adoption drive is taking away from fundraising for Mary, I don't want to do it... I won't" you clarified.
"Is that it?" Steve's voice was warm, sighing with relief.
"Well... yeah" you said, "I couldn't sleep."
"You in bed, bug?" that peaked his interest.
"Yes" you said, rolling your eyes at his suggestive tone.
"Me too" he smirked, hooking an arm under his head as he leaned back on his pillow.
"If you ask me what I'm wearing... I'm gonna hang up on you" you threatened.
"The fundraiser won't be taking any money from the fund we have set up for Mary" Steve clarified, smirking at your empty threat.
"Good" you sighed, relief rolling through your body as you sank back into your bed, eyelids feeling heavier, "thank you..."
"No problem, sweetheart" Steve's bedroom voice had a low timbre to it that made you shiver, "I'll talk to you to..." he started.
"Did you remember the shirts?" you interrupted his goodbye.
"Yes, I remembered the shirts" he smiled, "but I got something tomorrow morning so I asked Sam if he could run them over to your place" Steve said.
"OK... I have a class at 10, but I'll be here before then" you confirmed.
"Yup, already told him he needs to be there at 9 to catch you before you leave" Steve said.
"How did you..." you started to ask, fighting back a yawn.
"Your itinerary" Steve smiled, "you added your schedule in case we needed you... I gave you mine too... on a post it in your new planner."
"I saw that" a small smile spread across your face, "along with your hockey schedule- dates and times of all your games... you even let me know when you'd be away."
"Well... I figured you'd want to know for when I ask you on a date" Steve's laugh made your heart flutter.
"Who said we're going on a date?" you goaded.
"Well... hopefully you" Steve laughed, "I've got a five step plan to win you over..."
"That's nice" you sighed, only half hearing him as you started to drift off.
"Night, bug" Steve murmured into the phone.
"Wait!" you rolled over on your side, not wanting to end the call just yet as you cradled the phone gently to your ear, "will you tell me something? Tell me something about Cappy that not many people know..."
"Like what?" he laughed.
"Something you don't use to impress" you smirked, chewing your bottom lip.
"Ummmm... l dunno... I hate peas" he laughed.
"Boo... everyone hates peas" your words were slightly slurred with sleep.
"You're cute" Steve's voice was so soft you almost missed it.
"You're cute" you shot back sleepily before your eyes snapped open, "I mean... I..."
"You think I'm cute" Steve teased.
"No" you chirped, "I was half asleep!"
"You think I'm cute... no take backs..." Steve continued taunting.
"I'm hanging up" you said, half-heartedly.
"No!" Steve laughed, "OK… OK… something no one knows about me? Um... I was a really sick kid... like really sick" he offered, "bad asthma and always had that croupy kinda cough. But my Ma's a nurse and took me to the best doctors around. They told her to try cold air in the winter when my croup got real bad. It's how I started skating when I was around 3... and then I got stronger and started hockey when I was a little older" Steve said.
"Wow... Mr beefcake meatball? A sickly kid? I would have never guessed" you teased affectionately.
"Yeah, hockey's made my lungs stronger. I still have exercise induced asthma but it only gets real bad if I gotta do shifts back-to-back" Steve said.
"You learned how to skate when you were 3?" you sounded a little shocked.
"Yup" Cappy shrugged.
"I don't know how to skate" you yawned.
"Well, we're gonna have to change that" Steve smiled.
"You wanna teach me how how to skate?" you snorted with laughter.
"Yeah" he shrugged, sitting up and leaning against the wall.
"I can't picture you teaching anyone how to skate" you laughed.
"Hey... I've helped out at mini mite camps back home" he said, "I'm gonna teach Mary too" he continued, "gonna get her her first pair of skates... and no figure skates, hockey skates."
"Can Mary even walk?" you smiled, your stomach doing a flip at how cute Steve was with Frank's niece.
"She's crawling and pulling up on the coffee table" Steve said, "she'll be ready soon."
"That’ll be cute" you smiled into the phone.
"You can come watch" Steve offered, "if you want... I can teach you both..."
"Frank wouldn't mind?" you asked.
"Not at all... Frank really likes you... he's never that... not cranky" Steve said with a laugh.
"He likes me?" you smirked, "maybe you could... give him my number..." you goaded.
"Really?" Cappy huffed, not sure if you were serious or not.
"Yeah... I mean he's really cute" you smirked, "and then there's Mary" you teased.
"But I introduced you to Mary!" Steve grumbled.
"You think Frank would teach me how to skate?" you were just being mean now.
"Really?" Cappy's voice went up an octave.
"No... you doofus! I'm messing with you" a fit of sleepy giggles followed before you added, "as much as I know I'll regret it... I kinda have my eye on another meatball" your heart was kicking against your ribcage.
"I knew it" Cappy sat up, pumping a fist into the air as he jumped up from his bed, scaring Gretzky in the process, and doing his go-to goal celly.
"Don't ruin it" you whined, rolling your eyes as you laughed at the image of him celebrating around his room.
"So... you wanna come over after the game this weekend?" his excitement with palpable.
"Won't Bonnie or any of your other adoring fans be disappointed?" you smirked.
"No" Steve shrugged sitting back down on his bed before his tone dropped serious, "I'm not seeing anyone. Frank wasn't lying... I haven't had a girl over since that night."
"Bully for you" you voice was dripping with sarcasm, "you know that's not really an accomplishment, right? Most people aren't bedding a new person every night..."
"Bedding a new person" Steve snorted.
"What?" you frowned.
"Nothing... I just like the way you talk..." he smiled, "you remind me of Frank."
"I remind you of your best friend?" you asked, "isn't that weird?"
"No" Steve shrugged, "I kinda like it."
"So... say I do come over... what will we do?" you asked, "I'm not showering with you..."
"Like just this weekend or ever?" Steve asked.
"What?" you squeaked.
"You'd never shower with me?" Steve smirked.
"What?... I... no" you felt your cheeks flush with warmth.
"Never?" he pressed, "not even if you were my girlfriend?"
"When was the last time you had a girlfriend?" you scoffed.
"I don't know..." Cappy said, "when was the last time you had a boyfriend?"
"About a year ago" you said, "he... it was long distance and just didn't work out. He said I didn't make enough time for him... that I wasn't a good girlfriend."
"Hmmm" Steve's tone didn't give much away.
"What?" you chirped, embarrassed at your lack-of-sleep induced overshare.
"I think you'd make a good girlfriend" he said it so matter-of-factly that it made your stomach flip.
"How would you even know?" you smiled bashfully, rubbing at your tired eyes with the back of your hand.
"Only one way to find out" Steve smirked.
"Oh... you're good" you scoffed, "gross... you’re too good at that" you cringed, "so that's how you do it?"
"Do what?" Steve asked.
"Get all the ladies?" you said, "you're using your meatball charms on me..."
"What? Meatball charms?" Steve snorted, "no...I'm... we were just talking..."
"So... how many has this worked on?" you smirked, "how many women are you just talking to at a time?" you asked out of curiosity.
"I mean... I don't know... do you want a list?" Steve asked with a nervous exhale.
"Is that how you keep track?" you asked, honestly.
"Geez, bug" Steve choked, "you really think I'm that bad?"
"What you do is on you... no judgment" you said.
"Bullshit" Steve shot back, "you've been judging me since we first met..."
"I have not" you chirped.
"Who gave me the charming Captain Meatball nickname that I just can’t seem to shake?" he smirked.
"I... oh, shit" you laughed, "you're right" you confessed with a heavy exhale, "well… if it makes you feel any better… I know now that there's more to you then just a meatball that sleeps with everyone in sight."
"Thank yo..." Steve started.
"A teeny-tiny bit more..." you interrupted him with a giggle.
"Whatever" he laughed, leaning back on his pillow and rolling his eyes playfully.
"I wouldn't normally mind... about who you're sleeping with" you pointed out, "the only reason I care is because..." you paused.
"Because?" you could hear the curiosity in his tone.
"Because I guess I kinda like you" you surrendered.
"That wasn't so hard" Steve laughed as you rolled your eyes, "you know I wasn't always like this..." he offered.
"Like what?" you asked.
"I had a girlfriend all freshman year and another one sophomore into the first part of junior year... and then after Frank left the team... I dunno... I just started hooking up with random girls..." Steve offered, honestly.
"I'm sorry" you whispered, "it must have been hard to watch your best friend go through that.. to lose him on the team."
"Nahh" Steve shrugged, "what he's had to deal with was so much worse... losing his sister, taking on Mary... his family's no help and he's not even sure when he'll finish school..." Steve's voice was strained with emotion and it made your chest tighten.
"I'm sorry, Steve..." you said, "we don't have to..."
"No... I'm glad it came up..." he cleared his throat, "I like talking to you, y/n."
"I like talking to you too, Steve" you smiled.
“Think that’s the first time you’ve used my real name” he smiled into the phone.
“It’s a nice name” you yawned, stretching your arms up over your head with a squeak.
"Oh, shit" Steve cursed, "it's real late... I'm sorry!"
"It's OK" you yawned again, "you don’t have to go…”
“I’ll talk to you soon, sweetheart” his laugh was light and warm.
“I'll talk to you soon” you sighed.
"Oh and uh... I tweak the tshirt order a little, but I think you'll actually like it..." Steve said.
"Wait?" You shot up in your bed, "Steve what did you..."
"OK, sweet dreams, bug! Byyyeee" he rushed before the line went dead and the call ended.
"Damnit, Crappy!" you cursed, falling back on your pillow with a huff.

Pairings: Collegehockeycoach! Andy Barber x female college sweetheart reader
Warnings: college sweethearts, the one that got away, soulmates, sexually explicit content- more sex, getting caught, explicit language- Andy likes the word f*ck, a little playful teasing, a little angst, moving fast in a relationship, Andy being really soft for his girl (must be 18+)

A/N: not beta read. All mistakes are my own.
Andy slammed the phone down with a curse. His day had gone by in a flash; appearance at the hockey booth with the underclassman, photo opportunity in the quad and mingling with the older alumni that weren't participating in the scrimmage, alumni lunch and in about 20 minutes he'd join his boys- playing opposite them in the annual alumni scrimmage. It was tradition to let the old guys win.
Andy should have been suited up with his skates on- probably warming up on the ice by now. But instead he had spent the last 30 minutes calling information in a 50 mile radius of campus, trying desperately to get your number.
Your number wasn't listed. Of course it wasn't listed. He spent the night having the best sex of his life and now you were gone.
Andy's heart jumped in his chest when a knock came at his office door, but it was only his assistant coach.
"We got about 20 minutes, Andy" Nick said, tapping his stick on the door frame, already dressed in his old jersey and skates, "I'm gonna go check in with the officials."
"I'll be right out" Andy grunted, shoving his office chair away from his desk as Nick gave him a nod and shut the door. Andy looked at his phone once more- still no missed calls or texts. Not even so much as an email.
He stood up, running his hands down his beard before stretching his arms up over his head with a grumble. Andy wasn't in the mood for this alumni scrimmage. Hadn't been in the mood for any of this all day. Not after those damn cupcakes this morning. All he could think about was you.
He crossed the room to the bench along his office wall and sat down with a frown. Andy took a deep breath, letting his head fall into his hands, rubbing over his beard with a grumble before bending over to riffle through his duffle bag for his skates.
The scrimmage was meant to be fun but casual, players wearing their old or current jerseys and team sweats. Gloves and pads were encouraged, helmets mandatory. Goalies were required to wear full pads. The scrimmage was open to the public, but usually only family or the die-hard fans showed up to the event.
There was another knock at the door as Andy was lacing up his second skate. He huffed, barking a "come in" but the door didn't budge.
"Nick... if you’re not gonna come in just gimme a minute, will ya?" Andy shouted as he pulled his laces taut.
The door pushed open and Andy heard the sound of boots drag across his office floor. His breath caught in the back of his throat when he looked up.
"Hey, Barber" you smirked, dressed in his home jersey and a familiar pair of black Doc Marten combat style boots with thick wool thigh high socks disappearing under the jersey that fit more like a dress. Your hair was reminiscent of how you wore it for Andy's college games.
"Y/N... you're...here..." Andy's stuttered as he stood up, a good 4 inches taller than he usually was-with his skates on.
Smiling shyly as you crossed the room, you placed your bag on his desk before coming to a stop in front of him. Andy's heart hammered in his chest as he smiled fondly down at you. He took a tentative step towards you, hand reaching up like he was going to caress your cheek, before hesitating. He wasn't sure how to greet you.
"I'm sorry... I didn't get your number. Then those damn..." Andy started as you tiptoed, catching his thick hoodie strings and pulling him down into your mouth to shut him up. Andy groaned his surprise.
"Shhhh" you murmured against his parted lips with a smirk.
"Sweetheart...I..." Andy's words were crushed against your lips as you pushed him backwards until his legs hit the bench. Andy went down with a grunt, smiling when you placed a hand to either shoulder, climbing into his lap and straddling him.
"Y/N... I'm trying to say I'm sorry..." he laughed as your tongue swept into his mouth with a soft moan. Andy groaned, abandoning his apology as he pulled you to his chest and devoured you with a toe curling kiss.
You made out on the bench like horny college kids until you were breathless, lips parting to catch your breath. Andy's wandering hands ran down the length of you, stopping at your boots. He smiled, tugging at the looped laces playfully as you kissed along his jaw.
"Missed these" he groaned with another tug, his head falling back against the wall, his eyes screwed shut when you rolled your hips over him, nipping just below his beard.
"Remember when you fucked me against the lockers after the championship game jr year?" you purred in his ear.
"Fuck… how could I forget?" he asked, "you were wearing nothing but these an' my jersey..." Andy groaned as you nodded, your breath hot against his skin.
"Ah huh" you confirmed, "and seeing as your type is still college girls...” you teased, “I figured... for old time sake..." you loved giving him a hard time.
"That's not..." he started to protest before his eyes snapped open. Andy looked you up-and-down, old memories of that championship night rushing back to him.
You bit your bottom lip waiting when Andy’s eyes went wide finally understanding, his Adam's apple bobbed as he slowly looked down at your lap.
Andy's large hands ran back up the length of your folded legs, taking a deep rumbling breath before his fingers trailed under your jersey to find you bare and so ready for him.
"Christ… that’s my good fucking girl" Andy's deep timbre was sinful. You chirped when he crashed his lips to yours, wrapping an arm around your waist and shifting your body as you worked his sweatpants and underwear down enough to free his cock.
You didn't even need to stroke him -Andy was rock hard- lining himself up at your entrance and sinking into you, your pussy made a shameless squelching sound as you swallowed him raw.
"Oh, god... Andy" you whimpered, eyes fluttering back as he held you there -stretching you open-while gripping your hips and pressing up firmly into your wanting hole.
You gasped, giggling blissfully when Andy rolled his hips forward, moving himself to the edge of the bench and leaning back against the wall. He let his thighs go slack before slamming up into you with purpose. You fell forward, hand catching on his chest as he fucked up relentlessly into your dripping cunt.
"Fuck, sweetheart..." Andy groaned, straining to keep his eyes open so he could watch your pretty face, "I... hate that fucking sorority house... if I knew it was in that neighborhood... I... fuck..." he grunted as you bounced on his hard cock, feral with want.
"Just shut up and make me cum... Barber" you goaded and then chirped when Andy lifted you from his lap with a growl, still connected as he stood, slamming you against the wall with a thud.
"Want me to fuck this needy little cunt?" Andy snarled, "been fucking you for the last 24 hours and it's still not enough?"
All you could do was whine as his cock pistoned into you, dragging over your sweet spots as he gripped bruises into the back of your thighs.
"Not gonna last much longer, sweetheart" he grunted, "gonna fill this little pussy so full... you're gonna be dripping with me while you watch me scoring like old times" Andy panted, his matted hair pressed to your glistening crown.
You cried out, eyes rolling to the back of your head as a final steely thrust punched the air from your lungs. Andy groaned your name when hot ropes of his spend spilled into you.
"Fuck... I love you..." Andy's voice was so low and gravely it had you gasping and clenching around him as you met your end.
You clawed at his sweatshirt, milking his cock dry when your bliss washed over you in waves, flooding every inch of your senses. Your toes curling in your boots painfully when your muscles went rigid before going pliant against him. You whimpered, sagging into Andy's chest as he held you.
Andy pulled away, searching your expression as he tried to read what you were thinking, you stared at him for a long moment, your eyes prickling with all those years of heartache.
Andy's chest felt impossibly tight. His eyebrows knit together in a frown as he tried to make sense of the whirlwind that was the last 24 hours. Why did he have to let that slip? So soon. Too soon.
"Andy... I..." your words were coming out shaky when the door to his office swung open.
"Hey... Coach B" Cappy said from behind Andy's broad shoulders. Steve's voice was cut off when he saw his coach, still pinning you to the wall as you squeaked, hiding your burning face in Andy's chest.
"Oh, shit... s-sorry, Coach... we... uh... we're starting in 5... but we can play without you... you're... busy" you could hear the smirk in Steve's voice as he slipped out of the office.
"You didn't lock the door?" Andy teased, carefully unwinding your legs and dropping you to your feet while you whined. Andy tucked himself back in his sweatpants with your face still pressed, completely mortified, into his hoodie.
"Hey... sweetheart. It's gonna be OK..." Andy voice was soft and reassuring, moving back towards the bench to sit down.
"You know how many times I've caught Cappy in the showers with a friend?" he shook his head, pulling you toward him.
"Oh, god" you whined, your face buried in your hands. Andy took your wrists and gave a gentle tug, pulling you even closer to him while his thick thighs caged you in.
"Sweetheart... look... I know this is all real fast... you don't have to say anything..." he started, taking your hands in his when you finally opened your eyes, blinking owlishly at him.
"No... it's not that..." you started.
"Cappy didn't see anything... and fuck those sorority girls... I've tried everything to discourage them..." he continued.
"Really?" you frowned, "I thought you liked this look" you motioned to your throwback outfit.
"I fucking love this look... I just..." his exhale was heavy, "I don't wanna scare you away... cause I'm fine with taking this slow... however slow you want...and..."
"Andy, I don't want..." a loud knock made you jump, catching your words at the back of your throat.
"Show time, Coach" Levs' voice came tentatively from the other side of the door, but this time it stayed closed.
Andy looked back at you, his expression pained before you ducked down, pressing your lips to his in a soft kiss.
"I don't want to take this slow, Andy... and... I love you too" you murmured against his lips as tears welled in your eyes, blinking them back, you giggled when Andy jumped from the bench, wrapping you in his arms and lifting you clear off the floor.
"Oh, thank fuck..." he sighed with relief, "I mean... fuck... I was so scared I said too much... I love you so much, y/n" he was blinking back his own tears when he set you down, framing your face and capturing your lips in a slow deliberate kiss.
"Um... Coach?" Ari cleared his voice, tapping from the other side of the door again.
"Better get out there, Coach B" you smiled.
"Right... let's go" his smile made your heart ache as he reached for your hand, "oh... wait... aren't you..." Andy hesitated for a moment, "gonna get cold" his cheeks flushed pink knowing you didn't have any panties on.
"Are you blushing, Andy Barber?" you teased, "weren't you just talking about filling me up so full that I'd be drippin' with you all game?"
A growl rumbled low in Andy's chest when he leaned in, pressing a kiss to your crown.
"Come on... I can show you the women's faculty bathroom on the way out" he said, taking his stick from behind his door as you grabbed your bag.
You couldn't possibly make eye contact with his players when you stepped through his doorway and into the locker room, but it didn't matter. The entire team was standing in a row outside Andy's office to high-five and congratulate their coach.
"Way to go, Coach B and Coach B’s Vixen” Steve clapped Andy on the back before Andy gave him a look and Ari shoved the other captain out of the way.
"Nice to you see you again" Ari smiled down at you, smirking when you startled at his sheer size on skates. There was a knowing twinkle in Ari's eye, but at least he wasn't giving you a hard time about not being able to keep your hands off Andy.
"Nice to see you too" you managed as Andy tucked you to his side and walked out of the locker room, the rest of the team following you out.
Andy waited for you outside the faculty bathroom, offering to walk you to the stands, but you told him you wanted to walk him to the ice. As you were pressing a kiss to his cheek a streak of pale flesh caught in your peripheral vision.
Your jaw dropped as you watched a hockey player in nothing but a pair of skates, white and green boxers and the mascot head run past you and jump onto the ice.
To the crowd’s amusement the player did a lap before dropping a few pucks and shooting at the open nets.
"What the hell... Storm?" Andy bellowed as a few alumni started snickering.
"It's not me, Coach" Storm called from behind Andy.
"Shea?" Andy barked as the team and alumni watched the officials skate after the perpetrator.
"Nope" Shea called, "fully dressed, sir."
"Barnesy?" Andy almost choked on his tongue as the ref skated over with Bucky, shoving him through the gates as Andy shook his head.
"I'm gonna have to let the president know about this, Coach Barber" the ref shook his head.
"Yeah, I get it" Andy sighed, nodding apologetically.
"He's not even naked" Cappy protested with a shrug as the alumni members and the team were ushered out on the ice for warm-ups.
"What do ya want me to do with him?" Coach Vaughan asked Andy. Andy blew out a heavy exhale, glaring at Bucky for a minute before speaking again.
"Suit up, Barnes" Andy shouted at his nearly naked player as Barnesy gave him a sheepish nod, flashing a glance into the stands before hightailing it back to the locker room.
"Damnit" Andy huffed when you were alone, "the president is gonna have my ass for this..."
"The president’s gonna have to get in line" you smirked, taking a handful of Andy's ass in your palm.
"Y/N" Andy's warning was half-hearted.
"He did it for a girl" you smiled softly up at Andy.
"What?” he smirked, narrowing his eyes at you as he remembered how observant you always were, “It doesn't matter" Andy huffed, but some of his annoyance had already bled from his tone.
"It's gonna be OK" you gave him a sympathetic smile, patting his forearm reassuringly.
"I could lose my job" Andy's brow furrowed.
"You won't..." your smile was shy, "you're the best coach the school's had in nearly 50 years"
"How do you know that?" he cocked his head, smirking down at you.
"You don't think I've been keeping' tabs on you, Barber?" you teased as he ducked down, pecking your lips.
A buzzer sounding had Andy straightening to his full height and putting his helmet on.
"Gotta go, sweetheart" he smiled as you held up your hand, fingers splayed and waiting.
Andy didn't say a word as he pressed his palm to yours, lacing your fingers together and twisting your hand up to his lips. He pressed three kisses along your knuckles for good luck before pressing a final kiss to the crown of your head. His ritual before every game all those years ago.
"Missed my good luck charm" his voice cracked with emotion, "I love you" he whispered, kissing your forehead again before putting his gloves on and joining the teams on the ice for the coin toss.
The scrimmage was over before you knew it. Watching Andy on the ice again brought back so many memories, it made your heart bloom to see him so happy and in his element.
He'd find you every so often in the stands, winking at you like no time had passed at all.
When the final buzzer sounded it was Alumni 2 - school team 1. Cappy and the boys didn't even have to give the old guys the win. Coach B was on fire- scoring both of his team's goals easily.
After the teams shook hands and the stands started to clear out, the alumni took a moment to congratulate Coach B for his great record since taking the position of head coach. Andy's players began slapping their sticks on the ice and chanting "Coach B... Coach B" but soon enough the chant morphed into "Coach B, hat trick... Coach B, hat trick..." to the confusion of the alumni.
After the players made it to the locker room and Andy pulled you back in his office to wait while he showered, you walked around his office looking at the achievement plaques on his wall. Andy joined you, toweling off his damp hair in jeans and a zip-up sweatshirt. He wrapped his arms around you, pulling your back into his chest as he leaned in and kissed your temple.
"Ready to go grab dinner?" he asked as you turned around in his arms.
"Yes" you sighed, pressing a kiss to his lips, "good game."
"Thank you" he smiled, his large hands running down your backside and cupping your ass. He frowned when he felt your panties through his jersey.
You smirked, rolling your eyes as you pressed your palms to his chest, pushing off playfully and catching his hand in yours, twirling on your toes and tugging him towards the door.
"If you wanna go somewhere nice I'm gonna have to change" Andy said.
"Me too" you smirked.
"Why would you change?" Andy questioned.
"I'm not exactly dressed appropriately" you bit your lip suggestively.
"I think you look great" Andy smiled, pulling you to his side as he turned to lock his office door.
"Hey... why were the players chanting hat trick" you asked, "you only scored twice... right?"
"Twice on the ice... once in my office" Andy waggled his eyebrows as you hit his chest with a groan.
"Hey... how about we get takeout instead?" Andy suggested, laughing.
"Yes!" you cheered, "from that good Chinese place on the corner of campus... are they still there?" you asked hopeful.
"They are" Andy confirmed with a warm exhale, this is all he's ever wanted.
"You remember what I used to promise you after every win?" you smiled, coyly.
"I do" Andy said, tugging you a little closer to him as you walked out the locker room doors.
"Hope you had a banana, Barber... think it's gonna be another long night" you teased, but Andy stopped dead in his tracks, as you stumbled to stay upright.
"Andy!” you squeaked, turning around with a frown.
"I want it to be a long night... and a long morning" Andy said, smiling down at you, "I want all your days and nights, y/n... move in with me?"

Frank x Female Reader / Special Guest
The sun shines through the blinds, casting a warmth that this apartment hasn’t seen in months. You know it’s time to go, your tears no longer worth shedding over a man who won’t commit, let alone communicate. There’s a weight off your shoulders that feels oddly freeing. You thought that you would sadder than this, to leave this place that you once called a home with a man who you thought would want to see this through.
Life has a weird way of making you realize that what you thought you wanted at a point in your life is now a lesson, one that hurt, that challenged you, broke you and ultimately left you being reintroduced to part of yourself that you thought you had lost. She was always there, just hiding in the misery that Frank had managed to pile on during your relationship. What could be said for the boxes that line the hallways? The dishes that you bought, the coffee cups carefully wrapped – and you have so many because you thought you’d spend your mornings on the balcony, drinking coffee with the love of your life. You’ll use every single of them one day. You know this. For now, they are securely in a box, waiting to be whisked away to your new apartment.
It's like a checklist now, moving through the apartment as you mentally tick off everything you’ve packed or given away to charity. You’ve thrown away the pictures of you two together, unceremoniously placed in the trash as a symbolic gesture of how quickly things went wrong. You aren’t upset anymore and you don’t wish to be. There’s no numbness, no wishing that things could go back to the way they were.
You know now that you deserve better.
That alone keeps the momentum up to finish packing, the doorbell ringing to signal that the movers are here. Where Frank has gone, you have no idea. Somewhere up in Northern California most likely, hanging out with his friends who probably told him it was a good idea to get away from you because this last fight, the one where you looked him in the eye and told him you were unhappy, only seemed to make him disinterested in continuing the conversation.
As the movers come, you survey the place, looking at the note that is placed on the counter. It’s a quick goodbye, your portion of the rent already in his bank account in case he thinks you’re skipping out.
Before long, the truck is packed up and heading to your new place as you follow behind.
It doesn’t take long for you to get there, looking up at the brownstone building with a sense of hope and peace of mind before a man walks past. You almost do a double take at the sight of him. He looks so much like Frank that you aren’t sure if you’re seeing things, the man stopping at the sight of the moving truck.
“New here?” he asks with a kind smile.
“Yeah,” you answer.
“Always good to have new people around. I’m Bucky,” he introduces, holding out his hand as you shake it. “Hope to see you around.”

"Itty bit?" Ari's warm baritone boomed from the staircase, "you up here?" you could hear his larger-than-life frame stalking down the hallway.
You squealed with intoxicated glee, making yourself as small as possible as you ducked the rest of the way into the enormous hockey duffle bag, tucking your head in just as he rounded the corner into his bedroom.
"Bit?" Ari called, gripping the doorframe to steady himself as he surveyed the space.
It was the last few days of your sophomore year and you had both indulged in a few too many at the end of year Gong-Show-Stopper.
Ari was leaving tomorrow to go back to Canada for the summer and you were trying to drown your sorrows in a vat of Cappy's puck-bunny pantie droppin' punch.
"Itty?" Ari called again, looking around the dimly lit room.
You cupped your hand over your mouth, an attempt to muffle your tipsy giggles as Ari's eyes landed on the wiggly bag at the base of his bed.
"Hmmmm" Ari hummed, theatrically, "where could my itty bit be?"
You hugged your knees to your chest, a fit of hiccups overtaking you as you tried to hold off another round of giggles.
"Well... I guess I better get going home" Ari continued, bending over and picking up his bag, with you in it, before slinging it clumsily over his shoulder.
"Oh, Canada..." Ari hummed low in his chest as he turned to leave the room.
Ari let his hand run down the length of the bag, lingering when he found the curve of your ass. He smirked when he heard you gasp, drawing his palm back and bringing it down with a hard crack to your backside. Ari laughed when you cried out.
"Levs" you chirped, jolting and making him fumble the bag, both of you crashing to the floor in a heap as he tried to catch you.
"Fuck... sorry" Ari groaned, "didn't mean to drop you, bit."
"Shit" you hissed, pushing your way out of the bag and siting up with your hair all askew, grumbling about him being the pain in your ass.
"What were you doing in there?" Ari asked, leaning on his elbow casually as he stretched across the floor with a lazy smirk.
"You weren't supposed to find me" you whined, pouting out your bottom lip playfully, "I was trying to stole-away so you'd take me to Canada."
"Stowaway" Ari smiled, sitting up and yanking his hockey duffle, with you still in it, closer- his long legs caging you in as he attempted to smooth your hair back in place.
"Yeah... stole-away" you hiccuped, leaning into his touch with a purr.
"Stow-away" he tried correcting you again as your nose knocked against his with a soft hum.
"Hi" you whispered, a kaleidoscope of butterflies fluttering in your chest when his smiled sleepily at you.
"Hi, my little stole-away" Ari's smile was almost shy as his eyes flickered to your mouth, licking his lips and pausing for only a second before leaning into you as your stomach did a somersault.
"No" you squeaked, your hands slapping over his face, hastily covering his mouth and beard as you pushed him away from you.
"No what?" Ari grunted a laugh, confused at your reaction.
"No kissing!" your huffed, emotions on high.
"Oh, come on" Ari scoffed, "you totally wanted me to kiss you... been giving me that look all night..."
"What look" you exhaled, narrowing your eyes at him.
"That kiss me look" Ari's smile was too smug for his own good.
"I have not" you chirped, "I am not one of your groupies" you emphasized, "we've never kissed before... we're not starting now..."
"You've sucked my cock" Ari smirked as you pushed your way out of the duffle bag, your thighs clenching involuntarily at the mention of his thick cock.
"That's different" you scowled, "and we agreed... this wasn't going to become a thing..." you motioned between you and Ari.
"How is that different?" Ari laughed, shaking his head with confusion as he watched you shimmy out of the duffle back, a baby gazelle on new legs, wobbling before he offered you a large hand to steady yourself.
"It just..." you sighed, giving pause to the moment as your thoughts tried to catch up, "is..." you settled on as you scrambled up to his bed, sitting down and leaning over to unbuckle your shoes.
"What if I wanna?"Ari asked.
"You want to kiss me?" your voice cracked, feeling a heat crawl over your cheeks as your heart hammered against your ribcage.
"Well... I'm drunk... you're drunk. We can make out a little" he shrugged like it wasn't a big deal.
But it was a big deal. You felt yourself slipping and you knew you couldn't. You couldn't fall for Ari. He didn't see you that way.
You refused to meet Ari's gaze, scowling as your fingers fumbled with your shoes. Falling back on his bed with a heavy exhale of frustration.
Ari joined you on the bed, taking your ankle in his large hands as he set your foot in his lap, gently working the buckles of your shoes open before pulling you foot out. You sighed, room spinning a little while you watched him remove your other shoe.
"Kisses are for when it matters" you murmured, unable to tear your eyes from him when his gentle touch stirred something deep in your belly.
"You do matter" Ari was quick to answer, removing his tshirt and throwing it at you as he stood to shuck his shorts off, tossing them to the floor before pulling the comforter back and slipping into his bed.
You frowned, but quickly removed your shirt- platonic sleepovers had quickly become your weekend routine unless one of you was seeing someone else. Ari leaned back staring up at the ceiling as you slipped into his oversized shirt.
"No... I mean..." you grunted, leaning back in his bed as you struggled to wiggle out of your pants. Ari sat up, giving you a playful eye roll while gripping the bottom of your pant legs and tugging them down your body.
"Thank you" you felt your face heat again when Ari got a flash of your panties before you scrambled backwards under the comforter.
"You matter, bit" Ari smiled, watching you get comfortable, sinking into the familiar bed as your eyelids got heavy.
"I know..." you smiled watching him reach over to turn off the bedside light, "I just... kisses are for when this matters, Levs."
"This?" Ari asked as you took a deep breath.
"When I'm more than just your next willing throat" you swallowed down that bitter bile taste of tipsy over-sharing, "if" you tried to correct quickly, but it was already now.
Ari was quiet for several minutes, pensive as he appeared to be lost in thought before turning towards you with a smile.
"You matter... you're special, bit... not like any of the others" he finally said as you felt yourself slip away- giving in to the tired as it seeped into your bones. You sighed melting into Ari's chest when he pulled you into his side.
"You're special to me too" you murmured, just about drifting into a light sleep as Ari spoke again.
"Ya know what would be really special?" Ari ducked closer and you could feel the smirk of his lips brushing over your crown.
"Don't..." you groaned.
"A special goodbye from a willing throat" Ari's voice cut through the silence only to be met with a pillow right to his stupidly pretty face.
Ari grunted as you giggled sleepily, rolling away from him before he wrapped his thick arm around your waist, tugging your back to his chest- his little spoon- made just for him.
Soon you were lulled to a restless sleep- listening to the low rumble of his chest.
Bright sunlight streaming in through the window made you groan. The disappointed made your chest feel unbearably tight when you rolled over to an empty bed. It was early enough that the air wafting in through the cracked window was still crisp with a bite of cool summer breeze. You stretched, arms reaching out over Ari's side of the bed, your brows furrowing when you felt how cold his spot was under your fingertips. Your heart clenching in your chest before you heard him walk back into his bedroom, bending to stuff something in his packed duffle bag.
"There she is” he smiled, sitting on the edge of the bed, "I gotta get going soon..."
"OK" you murmured, pulling his sheets up over your face, just your eyes blinking sleepily up at him.
"Come here, bit" he opened his large arms, waiting for a hug.
"I haven't brushed my teeth" you squeaked in protest before he ripped the sheet from your grasp, wrapping his arms around you and pulling you up to a seated position.
"Hey!" you yipped, mildly protesting Ari's gentle manhandling when his took you by the wrists and tugged you into his lap.
"I don't care, bit... get over here" he laughed, tugging you against his chest and pulling you in his lap, "I'm gonna miss you" he said, pressing a kiss to the sleep matted crown of your head.
"I'm gonna miss you" your arms wrapped around his waist as you took a deep breath, trying to memorize his scent.
"You don't gotta leave if you don't want... Cappy's here for the summer" Ari said.
"Rooming with Cap for the summer?" you snorted, "no thanks."
"Yeah... probably not a good idea" Levs laughed, his hand ran down the length of your back as you shivered into him.
"Don't forget me, pretty girl" Ari gave you another quick squeeze and your eyes quickly filled with tears, choking on a watery scoff.
"I won't" you sniffed, wiping at your eyes as Ari pulled away, holding you at arms length to study your face.
"Aw, bit... don't cry" Ari teased, pulling you back into his chest in a crushing hug.
You melted into him, tears streaking his shirt before you pulled away.
"You better get on the road" you cleared your throat, slipping from Ari's lap back into his bed.
Ari smiled warmly at you before leaning over and grabbing his duffle bag. He pressed a wordless kiss to your forehead before standing and walking out of his room. Ari paused at the door, turning back to you, but didn't say anything as he left the room.
You breathed out a heavy exhale, slumping back against his pillow with a whimper. How were you going to survive the entire summer without him?
"Hey, bit?" Ari called, walking back into the room with purpose and dropping his duffle to the floor with a thunk.
“It matters" he murmured, kneeling down next to you and framing your face in his large hands as he captured your lips in a bruising kiss.

Pairings: collegehockeyplayer!Jake Jensen x female reader
Warnings: Yenzy being ridiculously soft and cute, mention of legal age binge drinking, explicit sexual content- making out and groping, light nudity, explicit language, friends with benefits (must be 18+)
Word Count: ~1.5K
A/N: I just needed a little super soft Yenzy today 🥺❤️
Not beta read. All mistakes are my own.
"Yenzy?" You whisper-yelled down the darkened hallway, giggling to yourself, you tiptoed to his room, knocking on the door before pushing it open far enough to peek your head in.
"Y/N?" you heard him ask in surprise, "come in..." he offered.
You pushed his door open, teetering tipsily on your heels before stumbling into the room. You looked around the dimly lit space, blinking your eyes back into focus before finding Jake in his bed. His arm was tucked lazily behind his head with a book in his hand.
"Hey" he smirked, laying the book to his bare chest as you made your way to his bed, bringing one knee up and kneeling at the edge as you smiled coyly.
“Shut up” you whined, playfully, “this is how cute you look just sitting in bed?”
He rolled his eyes, shaking his head at your shameless flirting.
"Need any help getting tucked in?" you raised a brow suggestively, crawling into bed and lying down next to him.
Yenzy watched you with amusement, his eyes dipping to the plunging neckline of your dress.
"Hey, special friend" you purred, batting at his chest and accidentally knocking his book off when you finally made it up the bed, "whatcha doing?" you smirked.
"Hi, y/n" he laughed, taking his glasses off and putting them and the book on his bedside table, you took this gesture as an invitation to join him further up the bed, nestling into the crook of his arm and resting your head on his chest.
Jensen's breath hitched in his throat as he watched you snuggle comfortably into his side.
"I was reading" he managed to find his words after a beat, "what are you doing?" Yenzy asked with a nervous laugh, bringing his arm down but not really knowing where to put it.
He finally settled for the middle of your back, tentatively placing it there as you tilted your head to look at him. Your goofy grin made him want to kiss you as his gaze fell to your tempting lips.
It had been a few weeks of stollen kisses and light groping, always you initiating, but Yenzy wasn’t complaining. He was even getting less and less jittery with every lip lock.
"Birthday bar crawl" you sighed, "but the girls wanted to stop here to pre game with the hockey boys..."
"And you're not pre gaming?" he asked, rubbing his hand gently up and down your spine.
"I wanted to find you" you smiled, bashfully, resting your chin over your hand at his bare chest. Yenzy's cheeks flushed pink, rushing to the tips of his ears.
"That so?" he goaded, "and what did you need me for?"
You bottom lip was trapped between your teeth as you blinked at him, suddenly feeling shy under his gaze. Yenzy licked his lips, hesitating for only a moment before he pushed up on his elbow, brushing a soft kiss over your lips.
Your stomach flipped as a sigh spilled from your blooming chest. His lips so soft against yours.
Yenzy ooofed, the breath punched from his lungs when you consumed him in a needy kiss, swinging your leg over his narrow waist and sweeping your tongue into his mouth. He groaned when your hand ran up his chest to the back of his neck, fingers carding though his hair and giving it a light tug.
You ran your hand back down the span of his tone body, Jake's lower half pressed under the comforter as his arm circled around your back, gripping as the curve of your hip and swallowing your moans.
A shiver ran down your spine when Yenzy's knuckles ghosted up and down your back, full on making out now. He groaned against your lips, gripping your sides and pulling you on top of him.
"And you're all gussied up for the bars?" he murmured, the corner of his mouth tugged into a smile.
"My friend’s birthday" you said, sitting up to straddle his waist and smiling fondly down at him. You could get used to seeing him from this angle.
"And... uh... are pants optional at this party?" Yenzy teased warm fingers over the bare skin at your thighs, your dress bunched up over your legs and barely covering your panties.
"I wish pants were optional at this party" you giggled, pressing up on your knees and leaning down into him. Your lips finding his as your hand dipped below his comforter and cupped his bulge through his sweatpants.
"Hmmmm" Yenzy hummed, "hey...uh...?" he continued nervously, breaking the kiss and taking your wrist as he gently lifted you back into his lap while sitting up, "think we should... probably talk" he started.
"Said no fun person at a party EVER" you pouted out your bottom lip playfully as Yenzy snorted, reaching over and grabbing his glasses off the table before putting them back on.
"Too serious" you frowned as he rolled his eyes, kissing your forehead before he continued.
"Y/N... it's just..." you were having a hard time focusing on Yenzy’s words with his thumbs rubbing absentmindedly into the curve of your hips, "you know I gotta focus on hockey and school and I..." his words were strangled on a groan when you started kissing along his chiseled jawline.
"How about you focus on those things an' I'll focus on your cock?" you whispered before sucking on his earlobe.
"Christ" Yenzy choked, pulling away only to press his forehead to yours as he cradled your face in his large hands, a growl rumbling low in his chest.
Your hands ran down the length of him, tracing every chisel muscle in his torso before dipping between you and rubbing over the hard length in his lap. Yenzy grunted, eyes screwed shut as his pink lips parted.
"First I'll start with my mouth" you smirked, kissing along his neck as he bucked into your hand with a groan, "then I'll..." but you were cut off when Yenzy crashed his lips to yours as he pulled you back down on the bed with him, his resolve dissolving as your tongue swept past his lips.
"Fuck" he groaned, "you're so fucking hot... I... fuck..."
"I just wanna ride your fat cock, Yenzy" you moaned as he scrambled to lift you while pushing the comforter down, you were now straddling his hips with no blanket barrier while he pushed your dress up, his thumb finding your clit and rubbing through your panties as you purred against his lips.
You cupped Yenzy though his pants, panties going damp when he twitched in your hand with a grunt.
"Hey, y/n?" you heard the birthday girl call from the stairs, "where are you?" she sang with a hiccup and a giggle.
Yenzy let out a heavy exhale as he stilled his ministrations and you broke the kiss, both of you panting as you sat up.
"Is she with Cappy?" you heard another friend ask.
"No... Cappy already left for the bar" someone else chimed in.
"Y/N... we gotta go" the birthday girl whined, "I wanna do my birthday shots..."
"Did she fall asleep in Cappy's bed?" you heard someone ask at the sound of heels climbing stairs.
"Coming" you yelled to your friends “gimme a minute,” you called, smirking down at Yenzy's pants tent before you moved to stand up, climbing off of him carefully and pulling your dress back in place.
"That's a really short dress" Yenzy smirked, watching you appreciatively as you checked your reflection in the mirror that hung on the back of his bedroom door, "you sure you're not gonna get cold?" he asked, standing up and adjusting his sweatpants before crossing the room to his desk.
"I'll be fine" you assured, bending over to fix your heel as your dress rose up, giving him a peek of your round ass in your thong panties.
You heard Jensen swear under his breath as you stood up, turning and walking over to him while his mouth hung open- brain glitching a little at the glimpse you just gave him.
"You OK?" you giggled, running your hands up his chest as he leaned into your touch with a groan.
"Can you wear this... please?" he asked, pulling his zip up hockey hoodie off the back of his chair and wrapping it around you.
"It has your number on it" you smirked, looking down at the hoodie as he helped you shrug it on, "and your name..."
"And it covers your ass" he smiled, reaching to grab the zipper before zipping it up to your chin.
"And why do I need my ass covered?" you goaded, taking a step towards him and wrapping your arms around his neck as you pressed into his chest with a knowing smirk.
"Just..." he shivered at your touch before leaning down and pecking a soft kiss to your lips, "wear it... please?"
"Anything for you, Jake" you whispered, giving him one more chaste kiss before turning on your heels. Yenzy blew out an exhale, a soft smile spreading across his flushed face as he watched his name and number -scrawled across your back- skipping from his room.
