I watched this really cute anime movie about a deaf girl recently, and it gave me an idea I thought you might like!!
What if Tommy had a kid (how he came upon the child is irrelevant) who was deaf? Music, especially the discs are a big thing for Tommy, so it’d be a big adjustment for him to realize “Oh yeah, they can’t hear this”. He learns sign language with a LOT of help from others cause he wants to be able to communicate with his kid, and he and his kid sometimes gossip and tease people using sign language cause aside from a few basic signs, no one really knows what those two are talking about; well..maybe Tubbo knows, only cause he was the one Tommy spent the most time learning sign with.
Bonus, what if when his kid’s a little older they decide they wanna hear the discs their dad talks about, so they ask Uncle Techno to help them craft something akin to hearing aids; but y’know with magic and stuff. And when they hear their dad’s discs for the first time they cry cause it’s even better than they ever could have imagined??
I just, I like the fluffy stuff!!

To Hear
Summary: Tommy cares for a deaf, child (Y/N).
Pairings:  Parental! Platonic! Tommy x Deaf! Child! Reader
Warnings: Swearing
A/N: Bruh, I was so excited to make this I did in a few hours. I have been thinking about this since you sent it in. I use some elements from Lost Ones but it’s soo not canon to my story.
*Any full sentences in Italics means they’re talking in Sign Language.*
 I hope you enjoy it ♥
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        Tommy didn’t know.
        How was he supposed to?
        He’d never met anyone that was deaf and didn’t know the signs. (Y/N) was also a baby when he first got her, not exactly like she could go, hey, I can’t hear.
        So, he didn’t know for ages. He really didn’t know what he was doing raising a baby, so when she wasn’t talking by the age of one, he thought it could be a normal thing. He was worried but it could be normal! Babies weren’t super smart after all.
        It was Wilbur that figured it out.
        When he had come to visit his brother and found out he had a baby, of course, they sat down and had a serious talk about it, said baby still happily playing with her toys despite the yelling earlier. After Wilbur realized his brother wasn’t going to simply give up this child, especially after a year of work, he decided he might as well accept it. So, he went over to the child and sat next to her.
        “Hi (Y/N).” Wilbur smiled lightly.
        The child didn’t react though, having not noticed someone was next to her. Wilbur frowned slightly at this and put a hand on her arm, making her look at him now.
        “Hi, little lady.” He greeted her again.
        She made little babbles to him as she turned back to her toys.
        “What words does she know?” Wilbur asked curiously, a small smile on his face again as he remembered when Fundy was a child.
        “Uh, none yet. I can’t get her to say any. She likes making sounds but not much else.” Tommy admitted.
        Wilbur looked at him surprised and Tommy knew now that this wasn’t normal if Wilbur had that face.
        “You said she’s one, right?”
        “Y-Yeah.” He nodded nervously.
        His little girl wasn’t saying words and Wilbur looked concerned. Had he screwed up with his little one?
        Wilbur looked back at (Y/N) though, his mind at work.
        “(Y/N).” He said, but she once more didn’t look at him. “Tommy, does she ever respond to her name?”
        “I mean, sometimes. Not all the time.”
        “When she does respond, are you right in front of her?” Wilbur looked up at him.
        Tommy thought about it before nodding slowly. “Yeah.”
        “Does she ever get scared by your yelling? Or anyone’s yelling for that matter. Loud noises?”
        “Not really, w-what has this got to do with anything?” Tommy questioned.
        “…Tommy, I think (Y/N)’s deaf.”
        Tommy stood there for a moment before shaking his head. “No, no, you’re wrong. She makes noises and things like that. She wouldn’t make them if she couldn’t hear them. And-And we relax to my discs all the time, they calm her down.”
        Wilbur stood up, putting a hand gently on his brother’s shoulder. “She’ll still make sounds, but she won’t be able to form words, Tommy. She would have said any sort of word before now. She can also feel vibrations, they probably feel nice but she can’t hear any of it.”
        At the moment, Tommy couldn’t form words as he stared at his brother trying to deny what he said, but…it made sense. Tommy could never get her to respond to her name. She never really seemed to care when he’d try and teach her how to speak. When he and Tubbo were being loud, she never even flinched. Even a small moment when he had been shouting and swearing profanities when she was napping came to mind as he remembered she never even woke up to that.
        “My baby’s deaf.” He whispered. “What…I…God, how didn’t I notice?!”
        “Calm down Tommy.” Wilbur took both of Tommy’s shoulders. “You’re a smart kid and you’ve been doing this for a year. You can figure it out and I’ll help you with it. I’m sure Tubbo will too.”
        From there, it was a lot for Tommy to process. He had just gotten used to the fact he was taking care of a child; now he had to think several steps ahead and make sure he was ready when she got older. It was a shock to his best friend as well, that felt stupid too for not realizing it sooner, and they both took steps to figure it out.
        There were countless days where instead of going out and adventuring, Tubbo and Tommy practiced having sign language conversations with each other. Other days, Tommy would try and teach (Y/N) simple sign words so she could now start to ask for what she wanted. The relief he felt when she actually started to pick up was immeasurable. He nearly cried when she signed dad to him for the first time without him teaching her.
        When L’Manberg was starting to be formed, he made sure everyone within their walls knew how to talk basics with his child in case she needed anything from them. Tommy never liked leaving (Y/N) with anyone but himself and Tubbo and Wilbur, but when war came, things changed and he had to make sure his baby was being taken care of properly.
        Somethings that Tommy did became said with the new thought.
        Tommy still did his daily ritual with (Y/N), sitting with her and listening to a music disc. His heart broke a little each time now though as when they listened together, he realized every time before he was the only one listening to them. She couldn’t hear a single note. That frustrated him to no end some days as he wished his baby could hear such beautiful sounds but there was nothing, he could do to change it.
        Years went on. L’Manberg was independent from the Dream SMP, Wilbur and Tommy were in power, Tommy had one of his discs back from Dream from a little scam, and (Y/N) was eleven years old.
        “Can we go see Uncle Tubbo?” (Y/N) asked Tommy.
        “Yeah, in a bit. Got to finish writing this for Wilbur. Bitch is so lazy.” Tommy smirked before going back to writing.
        Wilbur looked over at the sounds of (Y/N)’s giggles.
        “What are you doing Tommy?” He asked his brother.
        “Nothing Wilbur,” Tommy called to him.
        “He’s president, tell him to get off his lazy arse.”
        Tommy had to put a hand over his mouth as Wilbur raised an eyebrow.
        “What did she just say? She was going too fast for me.”
        “Just a stupid joke Wilbur.” Tommy grinned as he gave (Y/N) a subtle thumbs up.
        The older man shook his head as he went back to his potions as Tommy finished writing. Putting the book away, Tommy nodded his head for the door of the van and both he and (Y/N) left. She wore her own L’Manberg uniform as they walked down the path towards Tubbo’s home.
        “It still sucks his old house is gone. I liked it.”
        “Yeah, but what are you going to do when you have a power-hungry green bitch?”
        (Y/N) giggled again as they got to Tubbo’s house, Tommy barging in.
        “Tubbo!” He called.
        Tubbo poked his head out from where he was gathering up a few things and smiled.
        “Hey, Tommy! Hey (Y/N).” Tubbo greeted them.
        “Hi, Uncle Tubbo. Did you get any new bees?”
        “I did, they’re with the rest of the hive. You can go see them, just don’t scare them.”
        “I know. I’ll be back dad!”
        Tommy gave her a salute and she was gone.
        “She been doing ok?” Tubbo asked.
        “Yeah, she’s been pretty good.” Tommy grinned. “She talked shit about Wilbur in front of him and it was pretty funny.”
        “I still can’t believe you taught her to swear.” Tubbo shook his head as he went back to his chests.
        “It’s hilarious! No one else knows what we’re saying but you!”
        “That’s because I learned with you. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t know either.” Tubbo reminded him. “Jack figure it out yet?”
        “No.” Tommy rolled his eyes.
        A few of the new members of L’Manberg and the Dream SMP struggled to remember (Y/N) was deaf and often startled her or would simply walk up to her and try and just simply talk. The little girl struggled with her deafness sometimes as she was different from everyone else. Tommy was always there to assure her though that she was fine the way she was.
        “But hey, I was thinking about how to get my disc back from Skeppy,” Tommy mentioned.
        “Oh yeah, what this time?” Tubbo asked.
        (Y/N) came back in smiling as Tommy and Tubbo were talking animatedly about their plan. She gave a simple clap to let them know she was there as she often did when she’d enter a room and no one noticed. They both looked over and motioned her over, talking about their plan instead in sign so she’d know what they were talking about.
        They were talking about the discs again and she frowned slightly. Her father loved playing discs when they were home and she liked feeling the music but she couldn’t help but always wonder what it was like to listen to what her father could hear. To know why he liked them so much that Dream would take them from him.
        A few months past and (Y/N) got herself a new uncle when he settled down close by to their homeland. Technoblade had come to see what his brothers were up to and decided to stick around for a while to see if their government got out of hand. (Y/N) wasn’t sure what that meant but she thought he was pretty cool.
        One of the coolest things was that he already knew rough sign language, having needed it for one of his travels. She thrilled for her father not have to teach someone once more the basics, instead Techno taught himself how to sign better and more advanced words so he could talk to her when she was around.
        She was around a decent bit of time.
        As Techno was now around, Tommy liked to spar with him and (Y/N) liked to watch her father’s skills at work. Alongside that, Techno told her a few stories about his travels or just stories with the sign he taught himself. He often also lent her books for her to read in her spare time.
        Tommy had never felt more grateful for his oldest brother.
        Sure, he couldn’t talk shit around Techno because he’d know what he was saying, but seeing (Y/N) smile to be able to talk to someone else made up for it.
        Today though, (Y/N) had to ask Techno for a favor. All of the boys and her were at Wilbur’s to just have some family time, so now was the perfect time.
        “Hey Techno.” (Y/N) stood nervously in front of him as Tommy was arguing with Wilbur in the kitchen.
        “Yeah?” He raised an eyebrow as he watched her.
        “You know how to do enchantments and stuff right?”
        “Yeah, I do quite a bit of it.”
        “Are you really good at it?”
        “I’d say so, why?”
        “I want to hear.”
        Techno leaned back in his seat watching her. She looked rather passionate about hearing.
        “Why?”
        She hesitated to move her hands. “Dad really likes his discs and I just.” She paused. “I want to hear what they’re like, even for a few moments to have something more with him.”
        Techno gave a small smile as he nodded. “Yeah, alright. I’ll work on something when I get home. You got to go into the kitchen right now though and curse Wilbur out.”
        “Easy! Deal!”
        A few moments later, Tommy was dying of laughter as Techno smirked in his seat as Wilbur demanded to know what (Y/N) was saying. Wilbur knew he should have been getting more lessons from Techno.
        It took Techno a few days but he managed to get small devices enchanted to hear for a few hours.
        “It’d take me a lot more work to get permanent hearing. That’s a long project and I’d need some help. But these will work for a few hours before they bug out.” Techno told her as she held them in her hands, having taken her to “watch her”.
        “Thank you so much Techno.”
        “It’s what I do. And I guess you can start calling me Uncle.”
        She grinned before putting the devices in her ears. For a moment, there was nothing, but that was because Techno made sure they were in a quiet place so she wasn’t overwhelmed. He waited before speaking.
        “So?”
        She jumped at the sound before smiling widely.
        “I can hear!”
        “Great, let’s go see Tommy.” He said as he signed along with his words.
        She wouldn’t know what each word would sound like, that would take more than a few hours, so she’d still have to see sign but that wasn’t the purpose of Techno’s work. They walked back to Tommy’s base and Techno knocked on the door as (Y/N) was looking around in amazement. Tommy flung the door open, grinning to see (Y/N) was already back.
        “You bored her already?” Tommy laughed, (Y/N) looking over as she smiled at the sound of her father’s voice.
        “No, I only needed her to see if what I made actually worked,” Techno told him as they went into the house.
        “And what the hell is that?” Tommy asked as he looked at (Y/N) as Techno’s back was turned. “How stupid was it?”
        (Y/N) giggled. “You sound pretty cool dad.”
        Tommy frowned, confused, as Techno leaned on a wall. “What does that mean?”
        “Uncle Techno helped enchant devices that let me hear for a few hours.”
        Tommy stood frozen for a moment before he snapped his head to Techno.
        “Is she serious?” He asked.
        “Dead serious.” Techno nodded.
        Tommy looked at (Y/N) and grinned, hugging her tightly.
        “You can hear!” He laughed, making (Y/N) cringe. “Oops, right. You’re not used to that.”
        “I’m ok.” She told him figuring he was feeling guilty.
        “She won’t understand words, remember.” Techno reminded his brother.
        “Right.” Tommy nodded. “There’s so many sounds you should hear. I don’t know where to start!”
        “Well, I asked Uncle Techno so I could hear your discs.”
        Tommy’s eyes went wide before he grinned taking (Y/N)’s hand and pulling her to the jukebox outside.
        “Wait right here.” He instructed her as he rushed back inside, Techno coming out lazily with a smile.
        Tommy ran back with a familiar purple and white-colored disc. He rested it on the jukebox before speaking to (Y/N).
        “This is Mellohi. It’s the disc I gave to Dream before I got it back. One of the discs I played for you all the time when you were a baby before I knew and even after. This is one of our discs.”
        Tommy picked up the disc again, taking a deep breath before putting it on. He sat next to (Y/N) on the bench as the song started to play. (Y/N) sat in amazement as she felt the familiar vibrations but also heard the sound it made. Tommy had such a wide smile as he wiped the corner of his eyes of tears as he watched (Y/N)’s reaction to one of their discs.
        She begged him to put on another and Tommy gladly brought out the rest of his collection, Techno having long ago left to see his mission accomplished. They spent those hours they had listening to their discs, Tommy telling Tubbo at one point and the other boy joining the two of them. The trio sat there until the enchantment ran out, but Tommy couldn’t be happier.
        His baby had heard their discs and he swore to himself that he’d help Techno with whatever he needed to make it permanent.

Chapter 11
Pairing- Loki x Reader x Steve (one side)
Warning- cursing
Your thoughts and other characters are in italics.
Your Alter ego name- Red Wing
Tumblr media
Jubilee (Jubilation Lee is an runaway from Beverly Hills when she first started to get her powers she would destroy any  electrical device with her hands.) and Kitty (she can walk through anything) are in the living rooms watching Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja when all The electronics starts to go off like an alarm.
“Jean. Storm. What’s going on?” Scott questioned.
“I don’t know. Storm?” Jean asked as she silence the noises.
“If you came here thinking I know where your daughter is you are mistaken. Gambit works echoed through Storm’s head to the point where Jean shakes Storm’s shoulder.
“Where you listening?” Jean asked.
“Clearly she wasn’t because if she was she would had answered.” Logan snapped walking into the room. You would think Logan would be giving Jean heart eye like he always does but not lately not since he found out that she and Scott was getting married.
“You don’t have to be rude Logan...are you ok?” Jean wondered.
But before Storm could answer the Tv start to Broadcast the news instead of the safety alarms.
“It would appear to be some type of Alien creature coming from that portal there.” Reporter said as the cameraman points the camera towards the portal. “We don’t have any information of why there here and where  they come from but first responders are saying to stay inside and if you have a basement please take shelter there I will keep you updated.”
“Aliens in New York we have to stop them.” Jubilee proclaimed.
“We’ve never dealt with something like this before. How do we know we can stop them?” Scott questioned.
“We don’t but we have to try.” Rogue chimed in.
“Kids right I’m not bout to sit here and do nothing.” Logan declared as he about to walk out the mansion but.
“It is already being taken care of.” Charles  announced.
“By who?” Scott asked.
“An Organization called Shield.” Charles explained.
“You think a bunch of spies are going to save New York?” Logan questioned sarcastically.
“No there more then that.” Charles replied. “They can handle this the X-Men are not needed.
“Like hell we are.” Logan mumbled under his breath walking out the room.

Hawkeye looks out to his left window, finding a target. Loki
“See them?” Natasha asked.
“Yeah.” Barton answered.
Loki and Y/n circle each other. All the quickness and skill at their command, they Clash furiously.. Till...They find themselves on opposite sides of the balcony. Hawkeye sees his opening and banks the jet towards Stark Tower and aims the Minigun at Loki.
Loki then aims the scepter at the Quinjet and fires a blast of energy. Thor gets to his feet, tackles Loki down hard. The Quinjet is soon caught on fire. Hawkeye maneuvers one wing of the jet.
“There gonna crash.” Y/n flies down holding her hand out to catch Quinjet and safely place it on the ground. With everyone okay, Hawkeye and Black Widow unfasten their seatbelts and open the ramp. Captain America runs down, followed  by Hawkeye and Black Widow. Each one has their respected weapons in hand.
○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
Steve, Y/n, Natasha, and Clint arrives in the middle of a four-way street.  Suddenly, the city lurches to a stop. A deep, primal rage bellows out. With that roar, a shadow comes over them. From the portal, a Chitauri Leviathan flies out carrying hundreds of soldiers, the Chitauri Leviathan  passes over them.
You have to be fucking kidding me
They look up, out of their element. From both sides, Chitauri soldiers cling off and attach themselves to the sides of the buildings, sliding down. Some Crash into these buildings and  begin firing from their Energy rifles at innocent people.
“Stark, are you seeing this?” Steve questioned.
“I'm seeing, still working on believing. Where's Banner? Has he shown up yet?” Tony asked.
“No. I don’t know what part of Manhattan I sent him to but he’s here somewhere.” Y/n answered.
“Just keep me posted. Jarvis, find me a soft spot.”  Iron Man quietly flies behind and parallel with the Chitauri Leviathan.

Thor holds down Loki's face straight ahead, forcing him to watch the city falling to ash “Look at this! Look around you! You think this madness will end with your rule?”
Loki tries to look away. “It's too late. It's too late to stop it.”
“No. We can. Together.” Loki looks at his brother, showing a sign of hope. Then... Loki stabs Thor with a small knife. Thor keels over.
“Sentiment.” Loki mocked
Thor gets up, kicks Loki and lifts him into the air. Thor then slams him down, hard. Loki, bleeding, rolls over the edge. Thor looks down. Loki  is riding on a flying chariot.  Dozens of Chitauri follow his lead.

Back at the At the X-Mansion Logan is suiting up when Ororo walks in.
“Logan where are you going?” Ororo question but she pretty much has the answer to it.
“Where do you think there’s Aliens destroying Manhattan and the good professor wants us to sit back and do nothing.” Logan answered. “We’re supposed to be superheroes Oro we can’t sit back and do nothing when people need us.”
“Well if your going so am I.” Ororo answered.
“Your hoping your daughter would be there aren’t you?” Logan question with and eyebrow raised.
“I don’t know if she will but there’s know someone who could tell me.” Ororo moves to get her suit.
Jean and Scott walks in the ready room and see Logan dress.
“Where are you going Logan?” Jean asked as she walks over to him.
“I’m going to help.” Logan said dryly.
“I’m going with him.” Ororo announced.
Jean and Scott looks shocked by Ororo outburst.
When did Logan and Ororo get so close
Jean didn’t want to admit it but she was missing the attention that she got from Logan. I know I know it’s greedy but she did. When Logan would look at her it was like he would risk it all just to be with her that kind of fire.....
“The Professor said we should say.” Jean protested.
“When have I ever listened.”  Logan voiced as he gets into the car. “Coming Oro?”
Jean and Scott looks at Ororo. “I’m sorry guys I have to do this.” Ororo declared as she gets in the car. Logan then starts the car up and drives away leaving Scott and Jean in the dust.

Y/n  puts a above head force field around Steve, Clint, and Natasha. “We’re fine here no one can’t hit us.”
They look up and see Loki taking his band down the street and Fires  at the street in a chain of explosions. Smashing cars and hurling people as it goes off in one Final conflagration. Terrified people running from Loki, looking over their shoulders, coming straight at them.
Captain America looks down the bridge. “Those people need assistance down there.”
Chitauri soldiers that have landed near them and begin firing at them.
Black Widow pulls both pistols and fires. Turns to Cap. “We got this. You and Y/n  Go!”
Steve looks over to at Clint. “You think you can hold them off?”
“Captain.”  Pulls a trigger on his bow; a narrow is mechanically chosen. “It would be my genuine pleasure.”
“Stay in this area no one will be able to hit you from above.” Y/n  told Clint and Natasha.
Hawkeye nods at Red Wing  then shoots an arrow  into the creature's head, gaining a few seconds for Captain America as he falls down the bridge, followed by an explosion. Cap and Red Wing races over to the plaza, jumping over dozens of exploding cars. Cap and Red Wing are running like the wind. Hawkeye runs over a bus full of people. From the windows, small children are held by their parents for Hawkeye to pull them out to safety. He runs over to the jammed door and jerkily opens it. People begin to run out. Black Widow empties out her clips. Hawkeye fires arrows into the ranks of the Chitauri, hitting his mark each time he shoots.
“Just like Budapest all over again!” Natasha proclaimed.
“You and I remember Budapest  very differently.” Clint replied.

The cops continuously fire at the flying chariots. It's pretty pointless. A Young Cop runs over to his Police Sergeant.
“We need to get out! They gotta bring  the National Guard!” The Young Cop  disclosed.
“National Guard? Does the army know what's happening here?” Police Sergeant questioned.
“And Do we?”
Captain America jumps in front of them. They look up at this ridiculous looking man as Y/n rushes up to the the young cop. “I need men in these buildings. There  are people inside that can run into the line of fire. You take them through the basement or through the subway. You keep them off the streets. I need a perimeter as far back as 39th.”
“Don’t worry I’ll get the people out the building and off the street. I need your men to lead them to you through the basement or the subway.”  Y/n started.
“Why the hell should I take orders from you?” Police Sergeant asked with sassily.
Suddenly, an explosion comes up from behind Cap sending some debris debris towards Y/n and the two cops she puts up a force field in record timing to protect her and the two police officers. An energy blast is blocked by his Shield. Two Black Widow attack. The cops watch in shock as Red Wing protect them and Captain America fights off the Chitauri soldiers with ease. The Sergeant turns to his officer.
“When the people are all gather on the street I need men to escort them to the basement or the subway  and I need a perimeter as far back as 39th.” Police Sergeant  said urgently in to his shoulder walkie.

Happens Like That- Michael Latta Imagine
“Ever wonder how just one drink
Turns into one knee down with a diamond ring
It happens like that
Outta the blue sky, lost in her blue eyes
Yeah, when it happens like that
Nothing to lose turns right into you
Doing all you can do just to keep her around
Till the moon goes down and you're back at your house
One thing leads to another, you're loving each other
One look and you never look back
It happens like that
You order a drink, it goes down smooth
Before you can blink, it turns into two”  Happens Like That by Granger Smith
Word Count: 2391 sorry it’s really long
Warnings: None. This is literally all fluff. So much fluff. Flashbacks are in italics. It is my first writing so please be nice to me lol ALSO STILL IN DENIAL THAT BROBEANS BROKE UP SO I REUNITED THEM OK BYE
Michael was nervous. Hell he hadn’t even been this nervous the night that he played in his first NHL game. He looked down at the box he had in his hand that held that simple sapphire and diamond engagement ring. He knew that you would love it. He made double sure of it by having your best friend send you the picture of the ring that you told her you always wanted. He smiled a little bit at the fact that he knew this ring was so you. You always said that you wanted something different where a diamond wasn't the main stone. This is why he loved you, always being your own person. He was going to ask you to be his forever tonight and he couldn’t wait to do this. Between the decision to come to Arizona, the long distance, and finally getting you back in his arms when you moved here, it had been a whirlwind year. You had been nothing but supportive from the time you got together to now. You were ready to follow him wherever hockey took him. He knew for a while that you had been the one but these last couple months have solidified it. It had been so hard to try and plan this behind your back without you figuring out what was happening. He picked the ring up and smiled at it, thinking about the first time that he met you.
You two had met a little over a year ago, right after he got traded to Rockford. It had been one whirlwind of a year between the decision to go to Arizona, the long distance, and eventually you moving to Arizona to be with him. It all started on team bonding night out. Michael was trying to meet the new team and form bonds that would lead to chemistry on the ice that would hopefully lead to a shot of being pulled back up to the big league. His mood was still down from being traded away from Washington and then from Ontario. Michael missed Andre,Tom,and their apartment. He missed their lazy days on the couch and watching their guilty pleasure of the Bachelor. He agreed to go into the city with some of the guys from the team for a night out because what is a better way to bond with some guys than going out and doing some shots. At third bar that they had went to, Michael was finally feeling like he was back in his element with friends and the dreary mood that always seemed to be lurking around was pretty much non-existent at this point. Every bar that they went into, it seemed like someone knew one of the guys that he was with, mainly Vinnie Hinostroza. Michael learned that night that Vinnie was from the area, which made sense to him, everybody loves the hometown kid. Michael was talking to Tyler Motte when he locked eyes on you. You were following behind your best friend and were heading right in his direction. He kept looking down and trying to look at Motte so he wouldn’t be caught staring at you if you looked up. He looked back up at you and you and your best friend had literally stopped right in front of the group and in his head he just kept trying to figure out what he was going to say to you. He breathed a sigh of relief when the guy talking to Vinnie put his hand around your best friends waist pulling her in closer to him. You stood there with y/h/c in soft curls framing your face with black over the knee boots and a maroon sweater dress on. He wanted to tell you how pretty you looked, but he thought that it would be too cliche. Vinnie grabbed him by the arm and pulled you over towards the group. “Guys this is Michael just got traded here. Comeon I’ll introduce you to the rest of the boys.” You just rolled your eyes as Vinnie walks away and touch Michaels arm softly saying at the same time “my name's y/n by the way”.
As the night wore on you continued to talk to him and stood toe to toe with him at every sarcastic comment that he would make to any of the boys. He watched as your eyes would light up everytime that you would laugh at something. There was a twinkle in them that showed him that there was a little bit of wild streak in you. At some point, you and your best friend went out to the dance floor to dance to some Chance the Rapper song that your best friend insisted that she loved. He watched you shake your hips and laugh as you and your best friend danced with each other. He heard your best friends boyfriend say “oh hell no” and looked up to see two guys trying to grind up on both of you even though you both kept pushing them away. Your best friends boyfriend stalked over there and Michael was following him over there before he even knew what he was doing. As soon as he approached, he saw the guy try and grab you again as you slapped his hand away and instinctively, he reached out and grabbed you by the waist pulling you close to him glaring at the guy. The guy looked at him and just said “Sorry dude, didn’t know she was taken. My bad”. He stared at the guy until he walked away and looked down at you. Michael was just about to ask you if you were ok when you looked up at him and said “Thank you, but I am quite capable of taking care of that myself.” Michael remembers just opening his mouth to say something but nothing quite coming out in response. He just stared at you. You weren’t quite like every girl he met before. You seemed strong willed and he knew for a fact you were too sassy for your own good. He had never met a girl quite like you. All he could respond to you was “well at least dance with me for the rest of the time to keep creepy guys away from you” as you turned to walk to the bar. You smirked over your shoulder at him and said “what qualifies you as not creepy Latta?” as you lean against the bar. He came up behind you and said quietly ”Trust me I’m not but let me show you” causing you to smirk again. That smirk was the moment that he was a goner. He knew you were too good for him but damned if he tried to get you. You grabbed his arm and lead him to the dance floor again where everyone was. He couldn’t remember what the song was that was on when you came over and grabbed the back of his neck and started grinding your hips slowly into him. You looked up at him and smiled. He didn’t care and he could have stayed in that moment forever.  
Michael was still daydreaming in the moment when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see Tom standing there and soon pulled him into a hug. As they were hugging Tom said “I can see by the look on your face that I don’t need to ask if your nervous. Bro you’re going to be fine. She loves you so much and I know she’s going to say yes”. Michael exhaled in a sigh of relief. “ I know I know but still how can I not be nervous? I’m asking her for forever ”. Tom just smiles as he walks out of the room “Come on dude it’s time to go anyways so you can freak out in the car”.
You couldn’t figure out where your best friend was taking you two before dinner. You two were supposed to be having a fancy girls night out now that she was coming to visit you out in Arizona. You didn’t care that’s what she wanted to do on her third night here because you just missed her too much, but you never regretted the decision you made to move. This whole year with him had been a whirlwind but it has probably been one of the best years of your life so far. As your best friend turns, you notice that she is taking you to the Tohono Chul Garden. You had always told her how this was one of your favorite places in Tucson to go especially with Michael on a date night, but it was also nice to just go there to think sometimes. She all of the sudden stops the car and park turning to look at you saying “Come on we need to do something real quick”. You just got out of the car not thinking twice about what she needed to be done, you just wish it was earlier today that she made you do it. The heels that you were wearing are hard enough on your feet, let alone on the brick that was throughout there, let alone the floor length gown that you had on. She was leading you throughout when you were just about to ask her what you two were doing there when you approached the bistro where your favorite fountain in the whole park was. That is when you saw Michael standing there in a suit smiling at you. “Mikey what are you doing here?” you ask him questioningly. “Better yet what are we doing here?” you turn to ask your best friend, who seems to have disappeared out of nowhere. You just are thinking okk this is weird what is going on. You felt Michael grab your hand and turn you back to him. “Michael Latta tell me what is going on this instant please.” you say it as Michael starts reaching into his pocket and gets down on one knee. “Holy shit” is the only thing that was able to come out of your mouth as the tears start welling up in your eyes. You were bound to start ugly crying at any moment and you really couldn’t care less. You were just thankful you put waterproof mascara on.
“Honey from the first day I met you in that damn bar in Chicago, every day has been a great day in my life. I never thought that I was going to find love in that bar that I night. All I wanted was one drink and a guys night but I guess that wasn’t bound to happen. I get excited everytime you walk through the door or every time I see you in the stands cheering us on in my jersey. It doesn’t matter if it’s here or halfway across the country, as long as I am with you I know that I am home. You are strong and sassy in all the right ways and never fail to stand your ground on anything and always keep me in line when I need it the most. You are honest and caring and I don’t know why to this day you chose to be with me but you did. Y/N I want to spend the rest of my days here on Earth trying to make you feel as half as amazing as you should. I want to spend every single day showing you why I love you with all my heart. Y/N will you spend forever with me and do the honor of marrying me?” Michael said as he opens the ring box. You just reach down and grab his face and said “You damn well know I will” as he stands up and crashes his lips right onto yours. You couldn’t believe that this was happening as he slipped the ring onto your finger. “Mi, its perfect. I love it so much” you tell him as you tip your forehead forward to meet his. He smirks as he says i know as he pulled you into kiss you again. He knew right then and there that it was the best decision of his life while you were silently thanking your friends for making you go out that weekend that you met him. I guess it’s true that when you stop looking for love it just makes its own appearance in your life.
Four years later: You sat on the couch in your new apartment in D.C. as you watched Michael move boxes into the apartment. He kept insisting that you couldn’t do anything now that you were 8 months pregnant with your first kid. He wouldn’t even let you carry in the pillows. You just sat there smiling at the fact of how happy he was to be back with the Caps. He missed playing with Tom and Burky so much, no matter how hard he tried to deny it, so when the Caps came calling back he jumped at the opportunity. He knew that you would follow him to the moon and back for his hockey career but the constant moving was beginning to take its toll on everyone. Michael walked around to sit down on the couch next to you placing a kiss on the top of your head as he passes you. As he sits down next to you, he pulls your feet on to him. “Do you think that this little munchkin of ours is going to like D.C.?” he asks as he starts rubbing your feet. “Michael I think if this kid is anything like you, he's going to have this thing for D.C.” you say causing Michael to laugh. ‘Yeah but I’ve got this thing for Chicago and Tucson too”. “Yeah why’s that?” you say smirking at him. “Because of that damn little smirk that you just gave me all started there in Chicago and it ended up being all mine in Tucson”. You just laugh as you say “See and here i thought it was just a thing for meeting people in bars” as Michael leans into kiss you. “Best night out ever” he mutters to you as you just nod your head in agreement. Because sometimes true love it happens like that, outta the blue sky.
