Five months later
Charlie's POV
I say "does it hurt?" Adam says "no, its just my legs are tired already." I say "you've only gone to school with no hockey for the last five months. Not even conditioning, of course they're tired already. Just go until you can't, I've got you." I smile at him and Adam says "holy shit" tiredly and I say "if you want to play in the final game, you gotta keep going." He says "tell me about something else. My muscles are going to give out" sighing. I say "just stand, you've barely stood on your legs for real in so long." He leans his head on my chest and Coach Orion walks in, Adam immediately pulling away from me, and he says "hows recovery, Banks?" Adam says "hell" breathing and I say "ready to go again?" He says "no, I can't go on" dramatically. I say "five more minutes then I can carry you back to the dorm?" He says "deal but I'll walk myself. I gotta complete it then I can cry later." I say "ok" chuckling and we set a timer on his phone for five minutes and we skate around, me talking to him as we skate, and him trying not to collapse. As we skate, Adam says "I think I'll be able to play by the end of the season, Coach." After the accident, Adam became team manager for JV basically coaching so Coach Orion is now coaching part time essentially. Whether he'll admit it or not. So, he's on our team, not varsity anymore. Coach Orion says "thats good, keep working at it, are you doing PT?" Adam says "yeah, a few days a week and I'm doing this at least everyday. So, I think I have a chance in a month or two to play" and Coach says "give it time, Banks. Don't rush it then it'll make the process longer." I mumble "listen to him, Adam." Adam mumbles "but I want to play." I sigh saying "don't over do it, listen to the man" and he says "fine" sighing. He holds my hands and I skate backwards and he skates toward me. Coach says "don't over work it or you'll never play again, Adam" and Adam says "yes, coach." I take his phone out of his pocket and he says "I love you but how much longer?" I say "two minutes" smiling and he says "good" sighing. His legs are a little shaky and I say "easy, we're close" us skating in a small circle. He was telling me while he was still in casts that when he got out of the casts and his stitches were taken out and healed that I should force him to skate for an hour a day straight. He wanted to play in a game this season, so he has to build his strength back. So here we are, skating till his legs give out. The alarm goes off and I say "you did it, you are done." Between this a physical therapy, Adam will be ready in a month or two. He says "I'm gonna cry" and I say "sit for a bit" slowly leading him off the ice. He sits down and says "feel" grabbing my hand and resting it on his thigh. I say "does it hurt?" He says "no, I'm so happy I can skate, I don't even feel the pain that's probably there." I smile saying "ok, let's go, be careful" giving him one of the crutches. We learned the first time if we don't bring crutches, his knees would give out on the way back. We get back and both teams are flooding into Dean and Fulton's room and some staying in the hallway. We go in and Adam lays on Deans bed saying "holy crap, my legs" sighing. I say "you are ok" and he says "I know, I just can't feel anything." Rick says "we didn't come here to watch you guys be cute and gross" and I say "then, why are you here? What are you here for?" Adam says "you can watch if you want" smirking. I say "uh, disagree." He says "not your kink?" I say "no!" Adam says "come on, babe, can't take it?" We are all just giggling and I lay down next to him, resting my head on his chest, and I say "no, shut up, Banks" against his chest. Adam says "ouch, don't last name me" tiredly and I tiredly say "don't babe me then" quietly. Adam mumbles "fair, sorry, baby" kissing my forehead and I chuckle saying "I love you" and Adam says "I love you too" wrapping his arm around me. Dean says "awww, the love each other." We all laugh and Connie says "they're so cute, I can't." I say "he's too gross to be cute" and Adam mumbles "I'm breaking up with you" sarcastically and I say "ouch" and he says "you said I was gross." I say "you are, you haven't showered since day before yesterday morning." He says "I have to wrap my leg in plastic every time, it's a lot of work." Julie says "and bad for the environment, I don't blame you" to Adam. I say "I blame you! I'm always close enough to you to smell you" making him chuckle. I lay my head on his chest, laying on my stomach, and I mumble "I have homework" and he says "I have a paper to write" and I say "why the hell are you in AP English and History instead of AP Math and Science?!" Adam says "I don't know, I was on a good streak of being good at english last year, so I was like, why not? Then I got fucked" I mumble "confirmed, you're a bottom" and he says "good one but I hate you" and Fulton says "what did he say?" I say "I said-" and Adam covers my mouth saying "I swear to god, shut up." I giggle mumbling "switch, you care too much to be a top" and Adam says "how stereotypical of you" and I smile, leaning up, and I mumble "I love you." Adam mumbles "I love you too." We have been together for five months now and our friends get along, they know about us, and we have minimal worries nowadays.
