A mighty change in life (Mighty ducks x reader)

7. The first day on ice

Mercy? For me? Yeah good luck with that!

Not only did they let me fall to my butt, at the moment I set foot on the ice, they also turned me into the goalie. I got frustrated immediately, "Why are you doing this? I can hardly stand up straight!" Wild wing didn't show it, but I bet he was grinning under that mask, "I want to see how tough you really are."

"And what is your solution!"

He gives me a thumb up, "So far you are doing well."

He spoke too soon. Nosedive gave the puck enough force to hit me hard, making me fall back first on the ice. Wild wing had to stop himself from laughing, "Well...almost."

An hour already and I made myself the laughing stock of the mighty ducks. Nosedive didn't make it any better, as he suggested that I could become their mascot. The only thing that kept me from throwing a tantrum was Duke. He gave the young duck a hit, telling him also to be nicer to me. Half an hour later, a few called it a day, mainly because they had laughed enough for one day. Only Duke and Wild wing stayed with me. Their leader placed his glove tenderly on my shoulder, "Don't take it to the heart, you did well for a beginner."

I frowned, "Liar! I was awful. All you wanted is to laugh at something."

"No, we really want you to learn it."

"Don't lie to me please!" I couldn't believe that he actually meant it.

"Okay...I want you to learn it."

"You? Why?"

He stayed silent for a minute, "Because I...see potential in you."

The more we looked at each other; I cannot help but get the feeling that he meant it. Only an arm reach was between us at that moment. If it wasn't for another duck to ruin it, "I think you see a lot more than that Wild wing." Did he have to make it such an embarrassing situation out of this?!

The leader was red around his beak, "I think you misunderstood."

"Am I?"

I didn't like were this was heading, interrupting the two quickly, "Guys, can I go now. I am really tired." "Of course N/A, I see you later." Duke kept on watching us, smiling wide, "Don't let a lady wait for too long Wild wing." I turned on my blades, trying to escape this moment, fall flat on my butt...again. The two suppressed a laugh, looking at my frowning face. I already lost count at the twentieth time. Wild wing pulled me up from the floor, pushing me towards the exit. I couldn't help but blush at the touch of his hands, holding my hips in place. Duke on the other hand, grabbed mine in his and pulled me the rest of the way.

"Here you go sweet cheeks."

"Thank you."

I looked one last time at the two before turning the corner, into the locker room. In the bunk, I finally could see the results of the duck's torture. My butt was black and blue and around my body were a few spots turning dark. The worst parts on me are my feet. Blisters and sore that it got painful to even put pressure on them. A knock made me jump up a little.

"That looks really bad", at the door stood Wild wing. He inspected my feet and suggested for me to get to bed early. Once in his nightshirt and boxers, he sat beside me. He lifted my legs up onto his lap and began to massage them carefully, "Why didn't you tell me about this?" I looked away, "I didn't want to show you that I am weak." "You are not weak at all. It is my fault; I shouldn't have pushed you so hard. Not on your first day." He places his hand firmly on my leg, making me flinch. He noticed it and checked the area, "I guess this isn't the only bruise on you?" I shook my head. "I tell Tanya to check up on you before bed time. I promise you...tomorrow I will teach you on how to use your ice skates."

"I don't think I am made for Hockey or anything on ice."

Now it was his turn to shake his head, "No...I am sure that you have what it takes... to be a good Hockey player. Trust me."
