You woke up in his arms on Friday morning, everyone had flown right back to Michigan after the game. You had thousands of thoughts running through your mind as your boyfriends alarm started going off.
The alarm that was waking him up so he could go sign his NHL contract.
They tried getting him to sign it in Tampa and go straight to Jersey but he refused. He wanted to do it at Yost surrounded by people he loved, in a place he loved, not where he just lost the same championship for the second year in a row.
You stayed quiet as he started to wake up and check his phone, the notifications nonstop since he got off the ice Thursday night.
“Good morning” he said as he hugged you tighter and kissed your head
“Morning Lu” you mumble
“I’m sorry” he admitted making you look up at him with confusion
“For what?”
“Having to sign this contract in two hours, and having to leave you, leave Michigan, leave the boys. I want to but I don’t at the same time” he expressed to you.
“Oh Luke” you said as you seen how sad he looked
“I mean me and duke haven’t been apart since freshman year, we’ve been together since our junior year, and these guys are some of my best friends. Not to mention I love it here, I’ve had the best time playing for Michigan, I don’t want to leave but if I don’t sign this contract I’ll be letting so many people down” he was crying at this point.
“Baby listen to me, if you truly aren’t ready to be pro then don’t sign, I can promise you that your family will not be upset with you, I won’t be upset. It’s your choice Luke, it’s your life. But if you are ready to go out there and show the world that a 19 year old Luke Hughes has what it takes to be in the national league, then go get your ass dressed so you can go sign this mother fucker” you told him through your own tears because no matter how bad it hurt that your boyfriend was leaving, he was achieving his dreams.
“God I love you” he said as he pulled you into a kiss that tasted of the salt from your tears and morning breath.
“I love you more” you replied pulling away
—
Two hours later you stood holding hands with Ellen and Dylan as Luke signed with the Devils in a conference room at Yost.
All the boys were waiting outside the conference room, they weren’t upset when he picked Dylan to come in the room, everyone knew how hard it was for the two of them to split.
“Congratulations Mr.Hughes your officially a New Jersey Devil” the devils staff member told him shaking his hand.
“Thank you” Luke replied looking towards you and his mom who were both on the verge of tears.
They took their pictures, one of Luke signing a fake contract , one with him and his parents, him and Duker, and then one of you two.
From here he’d go back to the sophomore house to get his bags and then he’d be on a flight to Jersey.
Once all the boys came in to congratulate him and more pictures were taken, everyone gave you two the room.
You didn’t know what to do or say, you knew if your tried to speak you would break out in sobs but you didn’t want to spend your last few moments with your boyfriend in silence
“Y/n..” he started but began crying as well
You just pulled him into your arms and hugged him, you two stayed like that, just holding each other until Ellen knocked on the door letting you two know that you had to get going.
You pulled away and looked up at him, both your faces were red and covered in tears, you probably looked like a raccoon because of your mascara but you didn’t care.
“We gotta go baby” he whispered
“I know”
—
You two stayed stuck together the whole ride to the airport, the car was quiet besides the light music from the radio.
Ellen and Jim both knew how hard this was for the two of you, you had been dating for four years and hardly spent long amounts of time apart. However you also knew how hard this was for them to send their last boy off to the Nhl.
After you made it to the gate he shared an emotional goodbye with his parents before turning to you. You ran straight into his arms already crying for the hundredth time that day.
“Flight 729 To Newark New Jersey now boarding” you heard over the intercom and it made your heart pang with hurt.
“Guys it’s time to say your last goodbye” Ellen spoke up but you could hear how sad her voice sounded, she didn’t want her baby to go.
“I love you so much Y/n” he told you as you both pulled apart
“I love you Luke” you replied as you pulled him down into a small kiss before stepping back so his parents could get one more hug in.
You held hands with Ellen once again as you three watched him walk down the hall towards his plane.

finally i am here to talk about the end of twins the series. my last post but i need it
yes, it's very hard to forgive this clownery. i fell for twins not for the same reasons i fell for pit babe, last twilight or the sign, which is awesome because it's so good that different bl series exist. and you can have that one that balances it, that it's a safe zone - like twins was. it was a feel-good series, light-hearted, easygoing. until it wasn't. and i feel so wronged. i feel heartbroken and disappointed for varied reasons:
- it is unfitting that Sprite is like that. to the point of feeling odd, frustrated and almost confused that some things were happening. i guess the writers know him better (?) but it doesn't feel like it. and in the end he keeps going for the determined 'i like you i will flirt and we will date' without feeling honest guilt or even giving credit to First's feelings. is he someone this shallow? does he realise he seriously fucked up? and if this is the Sprite they were looking for, i hate him. it's a no no
- said enough about how frustrated i am towards the way they characterised First. and unfortunately the ending was as i expected, given the path they were going. it was so but so hard to watch it. almost unbearable. if they were looking for a 'oh so cute he gives in so easily', or a 'oh so whipped for Sprite', i did not feel it. just frustration and lack of sympathy for the choices
- the lack of development involving First and his father. in the finale the father says 'well done. i'm proud' and then problem solved and traumas from the past fixed? no no no
- lack of real communication between First and Zee. they just did not talk anymore and just played together? did they not have things to solve between them? so now they are kids that forget things without talking about them and problem solved? they are not kids. and as a viewer i needed that talk. it would make so much sense that they did it
- lack of more context on First's sister and what the fuck happened to her in the last episode. again... confusion and oddness and randomness. and they didn't even talk about it anymore. wtf
- Sprite, Zee and both parents eating together and just happiness and no real talk, not a sorry towards the kids that clearly suffered from a divorce, negligence and inexistent co-parenting
- all the hiding and lies and in the end only First ended up knowing about the switching? did the others also knew and i did not get it? no repercussion for Zee's future on volleyball given that someone else unlawfully played in his stead? needed so much more clarity on Zee and Sprite officially being two individuals and all the people close to them knowing
- lack of development of other stories (like Jack's family)... if you do not wish to give us more insight on those, don't make them up
