oops i said i was gonna send in for cole today and i forgot ✋🏻 anyway here r some prompts 😋
"You're hot when you're mad." & "Stop pouting and get over here."
hehe you are my fav 🤭🤭 love u sar
"You're hot when you're mad." & "Stop pouting and get over here."
Cole didn't drink often, but when he drank, he DRANK. Tonight, he and the boys had the weekend off from games, so they decided to go to the bar and have some drinks.
You stayed back to work on some homework, telling Cole to call you if he needed a ride home before bidding him farewell for the evening.
A couple hours had passed, you finished your homework and hadn't gotten anything from Cole about needing a ride. You figured he would be okay and decided to get ready for bed. You changed into your pajamas, did your skin care, brushed your teeth and hopped into bed.
You closed your eyes and just as you felt yourself falling asleep, your phone started ringing. You groaned and looked at the screen to see that Scooter Brickey was calling you.
Oh God.
"Scooter?" You said as you answered, and were met with giggling from the other line.
"Y/nnnnnn! Pleaseeeee come and get Cole, he is WASTED!" Scooter chuckled out, almost slurring his words.
"Just Cole?" You asked, laughing.
"Nooo, nooooo, definitelyyyyy notttt! I called an Uber but Cole has been talking about you all night so pretty sure he'd rather ride home with you than with a random person."
You laughed to yourself but slightly groaned, seeing as you now had to get up and drive just as you were about to fall asleep.
"Alright, I'm on my way." You said before hanging up.
You slipped on some shoes before grabbing your keys and heading out to your car.
When you arrived at the bar, you saw the boys standing outside. You were grateful enough that they got Cole outside so you didn't have to go into the bar in your pajamas.
His back was to you as you got out of your car, but when Scooter saw you he beamed and pointed in your direction, causing Cole to turn around.
His red, droopy eyes lit up when he saw you, and a shit eating grin overtook his face as he skipped over to you.
"LOVER GIRL! Hi sweet sugar pie!" Cole slurred as he engulfed you immediately.
You laughed as you wrapped your arms around his waist. He REEKED of alcohol, and you knew you had a long night ahead of you.
Another thing about Cole when he drinks, he is CLINGY. He's not typically a clingy boyfriend. He's not huge on PDA and doesn't demand your attention 24/7. However, it's a whole different story when he's drunk.
"Hi honey, did you have a good time?" You asked.
"I didddddd, but I'm ready to go home and be with you." He said, pulling away a bit and placing a sloppy kiss on your forehead.
"Seems like it. Okay, let's head home then."
You waved bye to his teammates before wrestling Cole into the car. It was a difficult task, seeing as he did NOT want to let go of you for the life of him.
"But Y/nnnnn! I don't want you to leaveeeee!" He argued as you buckled his seatbelt in.
"I'm right here baby, but I need to get you home." You said.
"Your home! I want to go to your home!" He slurred.
"Okay, I will take you to my home but you need to let me drive you there." You said.
Cole huffed and said, "Fineeeee. Let's gooooo."
Once he agreed, you shut the passenger door before going to the drivers side and getting in.
The typical 10 minute car ride felt like an eternity with Cole babbling about holding you and making grabby hands at you the whole way, distracting your driving.
"Cole McWard I love you with all my heart but if we crash you are to blame." You said, seriousness laced in your voice.
Cole gasped and said, "I would never let anything happen to you."
"You are about to cause a wreck by grabbing me, please stop." You said, trying to sound nice but stern.
Cole pouted as he looked down. "Sorry, baby."
He controlled himself for the rest of the ride, but was right back on you as you walked into your apartment.
"FINALLYYYYY!" He yelled, and you shushed him immediately.
"SHHHHH! My roommates are asleep." You said, starting to lose your patience a bit with your drunk boyfriend.
"So? They've definitely heard a thing or two from us before." Cole said as he broke out into a giggling fit.
"Cole, go to my room, now." You scolded.
He happily obliged, throwing himself onto your bed.
You poured him a glass of water and grabbed some pain meds that he was sure to need in the morning before joining him in your room.
"Y/N! COME HERE!" He yelled, once again, as you entered your room.
You shushed him again, closing your door.
"Cole honey, please! My roommates are sleeping and I've had a long night, I need you to be quieter." You said, sounding agitated.
You were expecting him to close his mouth, but instead you were met with yet another fit of laughter.
"What is so funny?" You asked, putting your hands on your hips.
"Nothing, you're just hot when you're mad." Cole said, smirking at you.
"Glad you find my agitation funny." You said, crossing your arms over your chest.
"Oh pfft. Stop pouting and get over here so I can hold you." He said, opening up his arms.
"No. Not until you apologize for driving me insane." You said.
Cole sat up and said, "Fine. I am sorry for being loud, almost making you crash and driving you insane. But please come cuddle with me baby, I need it. I need you."
You could never resist him.
You rolled your eyes as you took your shoes off and got into bed with him.
You fell right into him, placing your head on his chest as he held you close.
"I'm sorry I annoyed you tonight. I love you." Cole said, placing a kiss on your head.
You laughed and said, "I love you too, Coley. But I am coming with you next time to keep an eye on your alcohol intake, okay?"
"Sounds good to me."

I WANNA HEAR FROM THIS DUDE. Give him an entire hour of anonymity, let's hear it all
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
TW: skate blade injury, medical, emergency, blood, bruise
Ok this is an EXCELLENT article about neck guards and cut-resistant turtleneck undershirts.
please read to the end. Dr Hayley Wickenheiser provides incredible insight about freak accidents and the medical emergency process that shifts the article a couple of times.
$wall: After Adam Johnson's death, will 'stubborn' NHL players embrace neck-protective gear?
A little more than a year ago, T.J. Oshie read a story about a young boy who was cut in the neck by a skate blade during a youth hockey game. Almost instinctively, Oshie reached for his phone and contacted his partners at Warroad, the hockey apparel company he helped found six years ago. What started as a way to create undershirts that weren’t itchy and irritating had developed into a safety-conscious business that helped develop new, cut-resistant fabrics to protect players’ wrists and Achilles tendons.
Now, Oshie wanted turtlenecks to protect the most dangerously exposed part of a hockey player’s body — their neck, and the carotid artery within. Sure enough, Warroad came up with a sleek turtleneck with its “tilo” design, which includes cut-resistant panels built into the fabric.
It worked.
And Oshie still didn’t wear them.
In fact, he doesn’t believe a single player in the NHL wears anything of the sort. None of the bulky neck guards that are mandatory in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Ontario Hockey League (but not the Western Hockey League). None of the Kevlar-style fabric turtlenecks that are becoming more readily available all the time, from companies such as Warroad, AYCANE, and Cut-Tex Pro.
Players have their reasons. Oshie said NHL rinks are “hotter” than ever, with guys sweating through several undershirts a game, and the thought of wearing a turtleneck in such a warm environment is unappealing. Players are superstitious, wearing the same shoulder pads they used in juniors, using the same brand of skate they’ve worn since they were kids, using the same tape job and knob style they’ve used forever. And, well, turtlenecks and neck guards don’t look cool. Heck, only Wayne Gretzky and Tomas Plekanec ever really pulled off the look.
“It’s not a cool look having neck guards on,” Oshie said. “For whatever reason, it’s just not something that’s sleek and looks great.”
But then Oshie learned about Adam Johnson’s death on Saturday night. Johnson, a former player for the Pittsburgh Penguins, was cut in the neck by a skate blade during a game in England and died, shaking the hockey community to its core. Players and coaches from around the league expressed their heartbreak over the tragedy. But Oshie did more than that.
He ordered five Tilo turtlenecks from his company. One for him and four for some of his teammates to try. They’ll arrive on Monday. And he’s going to try playing in them. Because Johnson’s death did more than devastate the hockey world. It opened the hockey world’s eyes to an inherent — and possibly preventable — life-threatening risk that comes with playing the game.
At any level.
“I just wish these things never had to be made, and injuries like this would never happen, because it’s so sad,” Oshie said on his way to the Capitals’ game against the Sharks on Sunday evening. “It hits me pretty hard, just thinking about my kids. I could take one to the neck tonight. And for them to not have a father — it’s just so sad and it makes me think twice about protecting myself and my neck out there. Whether it looks cool or not.”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jason Dickinson didn’t know what had happened to Boston’s Jakub Lauko last Tuesday at the United Center, he only knew that it looked gruesome. One of Dickinson’s Chicago teammates asked him what had happened and Dickinson speculated that Lauko had hit his head on the boards and “split open.”
After the game, Lauko’s bloodied face was still a topic of conversation in the Blackhawks dressing room. Dickinson heard someone say that it was a skate blade that caught Lauko in the area of his left eye.
“A skate?” Dickinson said. “How did that happen?”
“It was your skate!” a teammate told him.
“Are you kidding me?” Dickinson responded. “When?”
It had happened when Dickinson was falling into the boards after a push from Boston’s John Beecher. Lauko was already down on all fours, and Dickinson’s skate caught him in the face. As mangled as his face was in the aftermath, Lauko was extraordinarily lucky the skate missed his eye. Dickinson never even felt the contact.
Tumblr media
Dickinson, after learning it was his skate, immediately checked in with the team’s medical staff to find out if Lauko was OK, and was indescribably relieved to find out he was. Dickinson’s heart went out to Johnson’s family on Sunday, but he also spared a thought for the player whose skate caught Johnson in the neck.
“I feel for (him) as well,” Dickinson said. “He’s on the other end of that and he’s going to have some stuff to work through, because that’s heavy stuff. I guarantee he feels guilty right now, even though it’s a freak accident.”
That’s a word you hear a lot when it comes to skate-cut injuries, whether it’s Pat Maroon’s skate slicing through Evander Kane’s wrist last season or Matt Cooke’s skate tearing Erik Karlsson’s Achilles tendon 10 years ago. A “freak” accident. A “freak” play.
But is it? After all, this is a game played by people moving at exceptional speeds with exceptional force wearing exceptionally dangerous weapons on their feet. If anything, it’s shocking that skate cuts don’t happen more often.
Hayley Wickenheiser, a Team Canada legend, assistant general manager for the Toronto Maple Leafs and emergency physician, bristled at the depiction of such incidents as “freak” occurrences.
“I don’t think this is a freak thing, I think it happens quite a lot,” she said. “It’s just the injuries are superficial, or the players are lucky. This isn’t something that doesn’t happen; it happens a lot in hockey. Sticks come up, skates come up, and the neck is very susceptible. So whatever we can do to make (neck protection) more mainstream and just part of the equipment, the better for the future of the game. It just makes sense to me.”
Indeed, while terrifying incidents like the cuts suffered by Johnson and former Sabres goaltender Clint Malarchuk are thankfully very rare, it seems like every player has a story to tell of a close call, a near miss, a Lauko-style bit of “luck.” Dickinson took a skate on the collarbone during a game against Vegas last season and “immediately panicked,” wondering if a major artery was nicked.
“I remember the ref looked at me right away and said, ‘That was real close, Dickie,’” Dickinson said. “I’m like,’ Yeah, you’re telling me. I can f—ing feel it.”
Oshie was volunteering at a camp at his alma mater, North Dakota, some years ago, when he was rough-housing with the kids. They were dog-piling him on the ice, falling all over each other, laughing hysterically.
“Then one kid came in full speed and slid into the pile feet-first, and he actually hit me square in the face with his skate blade,” Oshie said. “So I had to get stitches above and below my eye. I still have a scar in my eyebrow that goes into my forehead. Luckily, it was flush with my face so it didn’t cut my eye.”
They can’t all be “freak” incidents, right?
“It’s unfortunate,” Blackhawks coach and 21-year NHL veteran Luke Richardson said. “It’s one of the fastest games on Earth, with razor blades on the bottom of your feet. It’s very scary and things happen quick. … I don’t know if there’s any way to guarantee that there’s going to be protection. Even if you do wear something. You can’t be in a tin can top to bottom out there for protection. It’s the risk that the pro players take.”
Richardson cited Oshie’s company as a valuable resource for players, and suggested that with time, neck protection will become normalized in the NHL. When he entered the league in 1987, there were still players playing without helmets. It took years after that for visors to become the norm to protect players’ eyes. Richardson hoped that with neck protection becoming more and more common — and mandatory — in lower leagues, it’s only a matter of time before it “graduates up” to the NHL.
Arizona center Nick Bjugstad, who played with Johnson in Pittsburgh and called him “just a kind human,” said he couldn’t bring himself to watch the video, so he doesn’t know exactly how the cut happened. But he thinks the answer is pretty obvious.
“There are times that your feet go out from under you and you don’t have control,” Bjugstad said. “As far as the precaution going forward, I’m sure it’ll be discussed in the league. It’s even more important on the youth side of things, with the lack of athletic trainers and whatnot. I hope we can figure something out as a hockey community that protects us from something so tragic happening.”
Scott Sandelin, who coached Johnson at Minnesota-Duluth, said making neck protection and Kevlar-style undergear mandatory has come up in conversations around the NCAA championship committee, with longtime Mercyhurst coach Rick Gotkin leading the charge.
“He was like, ‘Why do we wait?’” Sandelin recalled. “Why do we wait for something like this to happen before you mandate something?”
Dickinson said the NHL provided a video at the beginning of the season highlighting the benefits of cut-resistant sleeves to protect the wrists and Achilles tendons, and those have become quite popular around the league. But neck protection remains ignored by everyone other than goaltenders.
Johnson’s death surely opened some eyes around the hockey world to the risk of skate cuts to the neck, and it appeared that several Providence Bruins, in the AHL, wore neck guards on Sunday. That’s a start.
But why does it have to be a years-long process? Why can’t it happen sooner? Why do players have to be grandfathered in to avoid any mandates whenever a new equipment mandate is instituted?
“Because they’re stubborn,” said one NHL equipment manager, who was granted anonymity so he could speak freely. “It’s a monkey-see, monkey-do league. All it would take is one guy to wear it. Then two days to get used to it.”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wickenheiser has a similarly simple solution to getting players past all their superstitions and habits, to get them to embrace what seems like such an obvious solution to a terrifying problem.
“You just put one on,” she said. “I wore one for 20 years with the national team, it didn’t interfere with anything I did. … It’s just like anything else, when one player does it, everyone sees it and it becomes normal. I can’t even remember hockey without visors now, and I grew up watching the world of hockey without visors. I can’t even imagine not playing with a visor with how fast the game is.”
As an emergency physician and all-time hockey great, Wickenheiser is perhaps uniquely qualified to weigh in on the subject. She knows how well-stocked NHL arenas are in terms of medical care. She also knows it’s not nearly enough if, God forbid, a situation similar to what happened to Johnson happens in an NHL game. The thought has frequently crossed her mind that if there were an incident at a practice, she might be the most qualified person in the rink that day. She runs the scenarios in her mind constantly, and “it truly horrifies me.”
“You know how little time and resources you have to save a life in that moment,” she said. “The deck is entirely stacked against you as a physician. In the NHL buildings, there would be qualified physicians, there’s (emergency medical services) in the building. You have every resource at your fingertips. But what you don’t have is time. You need a surgeon and you need blood and you need time, and there’s none of those things in that moment. It’s just such a devastating injury. It freaks me out, for sure.”
It’s something players rarely think about. Can’t think about, really. Richardson said it was similar to a football player coming back from a knee injury — if you’re constantly wondering if the surgically repaired knee will hold up, you’ll never be playing at full strength and full speed. Hockey players have to feel invincible out there in order to take the risks they take on seemingly every shift.
But Oshie said there’s an instinctive, almost unthinking awareness of what your skates are doing at all times. Because the danger is always in the back of your mind, if not the front.
“I think you’re always very conscious of where your skates are when you’re playing,” he said. “I know I am. If someone’s on the ground in front of you, even if you get pushed from behind, you always get your feet out of the way, if that makes sense. It might look terrible if someone is about to fall on someone and goes knees-first, but that’s what you do instead of trying to land on your feet. I just assume that everyone else has that same mentality. But those very freak things happen. You get pushed from behind and you stay on one foot and the other foot comes up. I took a skate blade to my visor in our last preseason game, just this year. So I was a couple inches away from being cut somewhere.”
The game only gets more dangerous with each passing year. Players get bigger, stronger, faster. Skate blades are removable now, and they stay razor-sharp throughout the game, rather than dulling with each shift. Ignoring the risks won’t make them go away.
The introduction of the slap shot led to the goalie mask. Whippier sticks and more dangerous shooters made visors inevitable. Ten or 20 years from now, it’s easy to envision players regularly wearing full face shields. The Karlsson and Kane incidents, among others, helped spur the creation and popularization of wrist and ankle sleeves.
Neck protection will undoubtedly follow. It’s just a matter of when.
And if Johnson’s tragic and shocking death doesn’t prove to be enough to open eyes and open minds, then what will?
“There are options out there, and it’s not a bad idea at all,” Dickinson said. “It’s about awareness. And events like (Saturday) night, events like Kane’s, like Karlsson’s — those really make guys think and get them worried. It’s definitely something I’d consider now. I mean, who cares what it looks like? Looking lame and living is a lot better than the opposite.”

I’m Not Looking for Approval-Luke Hughes
Chapter Two-Sneaking Around
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary:After meeting Jade at the party Luke and her start getting closer and hanging out more.
The day after the party just as Luke expected he walked downstairs to a handful of hungover teammates.
“Good morning guys” Luke says
“Hughes I’m gonna need you to shut the fuck up” a clearly hung over Mark Estapa says
Luke rolls his eyes and walks to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
Once he shuts the fridge he feels his phone start to vibrate in the pocket of his sweatpants and he pulls it out recognizing the name, Jade.
The two stayed up until around three in the morning (when Jade eventually fell asleep) continuing their conversation and laughing at all the drunk noises Lukes roommates were making downstairs over text message.
Luke unlocks his phone and reads over the text sent from Jade
Jade-Hey sorry I literally passed out before getting a chance to respond.
Luke-back no worries how you doing? how’s Kelsey?
Jade-She’s good just hungover how are you roommates
Luke-pissy and hungover
Jade-Oo fun combination
Luke-ya I got some work I gotta get done that’s apparently gonna have to wait till tomorrow
Jade-you could go to the library?
Luke-I’m gonna be honest don’t think I’ve stepped foot in a library since I was in high school
Jade-haha we have a pretty good one I’m heading there in about an hour to get some work down myself
Luke-alright I’ll meet you there ok :)
Luke returns his phone to his pocket and looks up with a smile on his face
“why are you smiling?” Ethan asks making his way to the kitchen
“because unlike the rest of the people in this house I’m not nursing a hangover” Luke mocks
“hughesy if we didn’t need you on our team I would kill you” Mark says
“no you wouldn’t” Luke responds
“trust me I would” Mark replies laying back down on the couch Luke rolls his eyes again and heads upstairs to take a shower.
Afterwards he puts on a pair of jeans that he bought sometime last during the summer when his brothers insisted on going shopping with him because they “don’t trust his style” “and dresses like a dork without help”.
Luke thinks it’s stupid his brothers style sucks although he will admit he does take a lot of stuff from them.
Luke looks in his closet for a t shirt and a jacket to pair with his black jeans and settles on a white long sleeve shirt and a dark blue jacket.
Finally Luke throws on some socks and air forces shortening the laces and leaving them undone then walks back to his bathroom.
Luke comes through his hair until it looks a little less messy and sprays himself with some cologne that he took from his brothers a while back.
Luke grabs his backpack and puts his laptop in the back pocket zipping it up and jogging down the stairs seeing his teammates once again.
Where are you going?” Mackie asks
“Out” Luke replies
Ethan sniffs the air “are you wearing cologne?” He asks
“no now goodbye” Luke lies not wanting to tell anyone where he’s off to and exiting the house pulling out his phone and looking up the directions to the on campus library.
Meanwhile, Jade throws on a pair of leggings and her favorite sweater along with some socks and converse.
Jade adds a little bit of mascara to her lashes and some lip balm before grabbing her bag and heading out the door.
She begins walking to the library and when she gets closer she sees Luke and waves him over.
“Hey” She says
“hey how are you”
“doing good” she says and they both start walking into the library.
The place is nearly empty minus the librarian and a few other students.
Luke and Jade find a table in the back of the library and Jade and Luke both pull out their laptops from their book bags and place them on the table in front of them.
Luke had chosen to enroll in one online class for this semester.
Knowing he was leaving at the end of the season Luke truthfully doesn’t care too much about his studies other than making sure he’s passing in order to play but unfortunately he did get into a little trouble last semester when he started skipping one of his classes not knowing his coach receives attendance reports for his players so rather than scheduling another 7:30 am class that he was not going to show up for Luke opted to take the online version.
The only issue was it’s a session A class so it ends sometime in February and if he doesn’t turn in the work he’ll receive a failing grade and be ineligible to compete in any playoff games assuming Michigan makes it that far.
So once Luke received the email on Thursday that the course will open early he planned on spending the majority of Saturday knocking out as much work as possible.
Jade on the other hand has been looking for summer internships recently and a few of the application require essays so she begin working on that.
Four hours, six modules and two essays later Luke shuts his laptop off
“ok if I stare at this screen any longer my brains gonna explode” Luke says Jade looks over at him
“maybe we should take a break” she suggests
“like a six hour break” Luke says causing Jade to laugh
“maybe not that long” she replies
“what do you wanna do?” She asks
“I want to do anything other than sitting in a library staring at a computer” Luke says Jade smiles at Luke.
The two of them pull out their phones and start looking for different things to do they settle on going downtown to get a bite to eat and walk around.
The two of them put their stuff away and stand up grabbing their backpacks and begin walking towards the front of the library. on their way out Luke nudges Jade then points to a guy in a chair who fell asleep with his face in a book.
“Wow must be a really good book if it puts him to sleep” Jade remarks Luke makes a joke about a book he read in high school called the giver.
Jade responds saying she remembers seeing that movie with a babysitter when she was a kid and falling asleep the pair continues making jokes and laughing while walking towards the doors at the front of the library
“Shhh this is a library it’s no place for shenanigans” The librarian hushes them as they pass the check out station
The pair apologizes holding in a laugh as they walk out the front doors.
They walk back to Luke’s house and get into Lukes car beginning the 15 minute drive to downtown.
The little cafe the chose was pretty empty so they were sat in a booth. After ordering their food the pair begins talking about things around them then the conversation of relationships emerges.
“So do you have a boyfriend?” Luke asks trying to seem as casual as possible
“no I don’t” Jade responds Luke tries to hide the slight smile appearing on her face showing how much pleasure her response gave him
After a few more minutes their food arrives and the pair eat while continuing their chatter.
Afterwards the two settle up the check and exit the restaurant.
Luke and Jade begin walking in the opposite directions of the restaurant towards all the shops.
While walking the begin trading off asking each other random questions treating it as a game “What is one thing in the world you have always wanted to do?” Jade asks
“I would love to win a gold medal” Luke replies
“valid”
“what about you?”
“Mhm probably see the northern lights that’s on my bucket list” She replies
“nice have you ever been to Canada?” Luke asks
“I went once with my mom and dad when I was really young?”
“Cool”
“what’s your favorite animal?” Jade asks
“probably a giraffe” Luke responds
“because there tall?” She jokes
“no no one of my favorite memories is my grandad taking me to the zoo and putting me on his shoulders so I could feed the giraffes and ever since then they have just been my favorite” Luke explains
“that’s a really cute story” Jade says Luke smiles then begins thinking of his next question he notices a tattoo parlor to his left and asks “do you have any tattoos?”
“I have a butterfly on the back of my neck” Jade replies stopping in her tracks and turning around to show him
“wow that’s pretty cool” Luke says
“do you have any?” Jade asks
“what a tattoo?” Luke asks Jade nods her head
“no my family would kill me my parents hate tattoos” Luke says
“So do mine but it’s my body so I did it anyway. Have you ever wanted one?”Jade asks
“ya there have been a few of over the years I’ve thought about I’ve always thought about getting 1932 tattooed it’s the year my grandad was born he was a big part of my life but I don’t know my parents wouldn’t like it and I’ve never had the time either” Luke explains
“I mean if it’s something you want you make time” Jade says
“Ya you’re right I don’t know I might get one when I’m older” Luke says they continue their walk asking random questions and going in and out of shops looking around.
Around 6 pm the sun starts to set as the pair walks out of a local shop that sells name licenses plates along with other knickknacks.
Jade shivers a little as the wind starts blowing in the trees “here why don’t you take my jacket” Luke offers
“oh no that’s ok” Jade says
“no I insist” Luke says taking off his jacket and wrapping it around Jade.
Jade thanks him and the two start walking back in the direction of where Luke parked his car.
Once they reach the car Luke gets in the drivers side and Jade in the passengers and Luke drives them back to Jades apartment.
Luke walks her up to her apartment and Jade begins taking off his jacket handing it back to him.
Jade thanks him for a good day telling him she had a fun time.
“Me too you should let me know next time you need a study buddy and I’ll be down” Luke tells her
“I’ll do that” Jade tells him.
Luke says goodbye as Jade unlocks her apartment door and he starts walking back down to his car then drives back to his house parking and walking inside.
The downstairs area was empty and most of the mess from last night had been picked up.
“Where you been?” A voice startles him. He turns around and sees Mackie.
“Jeez dude you scared me” Luke says
“sorry man but where you been all day you left at like 11 and it’s like almost 7 did you go to visit your parents?” Mackie asks
“no no I went to the library for a few hours then I went downtown and hung out” Luke says
“alone?” Mackie asks Luke contemplates being truthful here because Jade is just a friend and he knows his roommates will ask a bunch of questions about it if he mentions her
“I just went with a friend you don’t know them but it was fun what are you up to?” Luke answers then quickly changing the subject
“nothing man we’ve all just been hanging out I think Mark and Ethan dragged Dylan to some sports bar to watch a basketball game with a few of the other guys they left about half an hour ago I’m heading out to join them in a few minutes wanna come?”Mackie offers
“no thanks man I’m just gonna hang out here tonight I think one of my brothers are playing tonight so I’ll probably watch their game then head to bed” Luke says remembering the Canucks have a game tonight.
“Alright well I’ll see you later” Mackie says
“see ya” Luke responds watching as Mackie exits the house.
Luke walks upstairs and changes out of his clothes into some sweats and a hoodie before jogging back down and turning on the Canucks game.
Over the next few days Jade and Luke continue seeing each other.
They met up after Luke got out of practice on Monday and Luke went back to Jades apartment when her roommates were out and they watched a few movies together in Jades room until midnight when Luke went back home.
On Tuesday they ran into each other about an hour before Luke had to go to practice and they grabbed coffee together at a coffee shop on campus. Luke ended up having to leave after 45 minutes in order to not be late for practice and have his coach kill him but thankfully he made it just in time and ran straight to the locker room to dress out.
A few of the guys were already changed and questioned where he had been and why he was almost late. Luke just told him he’d got caught up doing something.
Wednesday went similar he spent most of the day with Jade choosing to skip one of his classes to hang out with her.
Which wasn’t the best idea because at practice that night coach made him run a few extra laps during warm up which didn’t go unnoticed by a few of his teammates including his captain Nolan Moyle.
“Hey Luke” Moyle says approaching Luke in the dressing room after practice “hey Moyle what’s up?” Luke says slipping on his shoes after dressing out
“nothing what’s been going on with you?” Nolan asks
“what do you mean?” Luke asks
“you’ve been awful busy for the first week back you know almost being late to practice, skipping class, staying out till midnight? Is everything ok?” Nolan asks with a bit of concern in his tone
“ya ya everything is fine just been busy but don’t worry I’m ready for this weekend” Luke assures his captain finishing up putting on his shoes.
Nolan starts to say something trying to find the words but Luke beats him to it “hey I gotta go but I’ll uh talk to later and I’ll see you tomorrow ok” Luke says grabbing his bag and walking out of the locker room.
Luke doesn’t wait for the rest of his roommates and instead just starts walking home.
Once he gets back he starts texting Jade. Luke has an away game this weekend and tomorrow afternoon he leaves for Ohio.
He has only has one class in the morning at 8am and he has to be at the rink at 3 so he asks Jade if she wants to come over knowing the rest of his roommates have class until 1 which works out perfectly because so does she.
On Thursday Jade comes over and they hang out for a little bit after Lukes class and she leaves a few minutes before Lukes roommates get back.
Around 2:30 Luke and his roommates walk to the rink and start getting ready to get on the bus to Ohio.
The ride is pretty chill only a few hours Luke puts on his headphones and texts Jade for a little bit completely ignoring everything and everyone else around him.
The team gets checked in at the hotel and they get put into their assigned rooms. Like usual Luke is rooming with his best friend Dylan.
Around 8 the team meets for a team dinner and then they are given a bit of free time before curfew at 11. Their coaches do a room check making sure everyone is back and in their rooms by 11:30 and then Luke goes to bed.
Friday went by pretty fast they had team breakfast then practice on the ice and then team meetings. From 12-3 the boys were given free time until they had to get back to the rink. The game starts at 6:30 and they start getting ready around 4:30. Well getting ready for his game Luke gets a text from Jade.
Good luck at your game tonight :)
Luke smiles “hey hughesy watcha smiling at?” One of the seniors Jay Keranen asks
“nothing” Luke says texting back thanks before shutting his phone off.
The wolverines end up losing the game. 3-2 in a shootout. All the guys are pissed and Coach gives them a lecture about communication in the locker room before dismissing them.
Luke does the rest of the team activities for the night before heading to his room with Dylan.
“Hey Mackie, Mark and a few other guys are gonna go play cards downstairs” Dylan says
“cool have fun” Luke says Dylan gives Luke a confused look which he doesn’t see because his eyes are practically glued to his phone.
Dylan leaves the room and then Luke FaceTimes Jade.
The two talk until Luke hears Dylan and a few of the other boys in the hallway and he says bye to Jade before hanging up and getting in bed pretending to be asleep when Dylan comes in before actually falling asleep.
The next day Michigan gets another chance at Ohio state and they win 7-3. Luke got 2 assists and a goal so he was pumped. That night Jade texted him a congratulations telling him she watched the game. That night Luke went to bed happy and ready to get back to Michigan.
A/N I hope you guys enjoy! As I have previously mentioned I do typically write these chapters in one sitting because my brain just works that way and I typically don’t proofread over them. This chapter was a little random but it got me where I needed to be so more to come! And feel free to give me any advice or suggestions in my asks!

YALL I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY!
I have had a buttload of homework to do all freaking week and am just now getting caught up in my NHL news!
THE SUCKY DUCKYS ARE OFFICIALLY ELIMINATED (as of Sunday)!!! To all my girlies who are ducks fans, I am sorry. But- I’m happy :) that’s all I can say. We all know how much I can’t stand the ducks (and zero hate to my girlies who are fans!!) so this brightened my day!
Anyways, I also saw a post that said the Penguins have a shot at winning the cup this year and I literally laughed out loud. They do not have a single chance- and I’m okay with that. I am beyond okay with that to be honest.
Also! Even though the Bruins are my freaking TEAM- part of me is really hoping the Nucks bring it home this year! Mostly because of Quinn and how he has just stepped up into leadership with so much tact and grace- I love him. So much. And I’m so proud of him!! I just think it would be a perfect ending to the best season for him (that and the Norris 🤩🤩) so anyways… yeah.
Love you guys! Don’t miss the Hockey East semis and final tonight and tomorrow!!!
