Break the ice (Mighty ducks x reader)

12. The game

I noticed myself, how much fun hockey was, but Wild wing had other plans. The ducks had to suppress a laugh as I was sticking to the leader's leg, begging to play again.

"This was a one off."

"Please hot butt, one more gaaaaammmmeeee."

Wild wing couldn't get me off, "I said not...and will you stop laughing!"

His entire team couldn't take it, lying on the floor holding their stomachs. From this day on, the ducks were even friendlier and more caring towards me, but that doesn't mean that I was off the hook. The only one who keeps his distance was Wild wing. Nosedive's prank wasn't working. He said that you can learn while sleeping, by hearing audio. This gave me the idea to record my own tape, repeating the words 'Let N/A play hockey' all over again. Since I was banned from having my phone back, I used the old fashion way: recording it on a cassette. Instead of getting my wish, Wild wing threw this tape onto the kitchen table and back into his room. According to Nosedive, who asked his brother afterwards, the tape got stuck and my sudden voice turned into the exorcist, scaring the team captain very badly. For this I had to wash the teams clothes, they have to wear them today for a game. I didn't mind as Grin came in, holding his new red pajama before him, "N/A, could you wash this too?" With this big guy, I couldn't refuse; he acted all sweet and that smile, "Leave it over there."

"Don't worry; he needs some time to get over it."

Knowing that he meant Wild wing, I shrugged, "I don't know, I pretty messed up there."

Grin waved me good bye, "Just stop asking him constantly, show him how well you work and he might let you play."

He might have a point there. Just in case I do the right thing now, I asked Mallory for advice on what to use to wash the clothes. Pouring in the liquid, Nosedive appeared, "Hey Fluffy, fancy going out?" "Why are you calling me fluffy?" He winked, "Since you were riding my brother's leg. I need someone to help me carry my comics; I think you deserve another chance."

"Wait; let me get this stuff ready."

The young duck said that he would wait for me at the entrance. Now I was holding the clothes for the game and the red pajama in my hand, "I don't think they would mind, if I put that with the other things together." That way, I got only one wash to do. Done! While it is washing, I could enjoy my time at the comic store. At the same time, Grin took his time to talk with Wild wing about my wish. The leader was lying on his bed, looking extremely tired, "We got a game tonight and can we discuss this later?" "She is really determined to play. Why don't you allow her on the weekends?"

"She isn't here to have fun."

"But you said that she has some talent for this sport."

It is true, he said that, but won't give in to Grin's advice, "We will see how she does her work and then I decide." For the tall ducks was this one a good sign. He also had an idea of what I should focus on, since hockey isn't the only good thing in the world and besides...he can't wait to wear his new clothes tonight.

I enjoyed helping Nosedive with his comic load and later on, he invited me to eat out with him. This didn't feel like being a slave or anything and the young duck made that very clear. I asked him, just to be sure, "Hey Dive, why do you treat me this way?"

The duck wiggled with his eyebrows, "Because you are one hot troublemaker."

I sighted, "No need to use that word."

"Troublemaker?"

"I meant hot"

"Why not?" unaware of why he moved closer, I felt a pinch on my butt.

"Hey!"

Nosedive laughed it off, "Sorry, I couldn't resist. We better get home, the game starts in an hour." Thankfully of him mentioning this, I remembered to get the washing out. But as I got back into the room and towards the machine, I froze. I was relieved though, that I refused Nosedive's help on the washing. My fingers trembled with fear, as I got out the pajama from Grin.

From a deep red, it was now a bright pink.

"Where did the color go?" I asked myself, only have my yaw dropped, "Oh no."

The entire clothes inside...was pink..."Wild wing is going to kill me."

"Hey N/A, fancy to play something?" I jumped at the sound of footsteps, hiding my mistake behind my body. Nosedive grinned wide, "Done with the laundry?"

"Not quite"

"Alright, come around when you get the time"

Looking back at my mistake, I groaned loud, "What shall I do now?" They need to be white again, at all cost. I went over to the engineer of the team, greeting her with a whisper, "...hi..."

Tanya looked up from the duck cyle she worked on, "What is it N/A?"

"I got a question to ask you."

"What is it?"

Having her full attention, I hesitated a little, "Well...do you know...how to....get clothes white again?"

"Oh no..."

I froze at her frustrated face, but then, "...Nosedive and his nacho's snacks."

I faked a smile, "Does this happen often?"

"You bet, almost every day. But we don't have any curd soap anymore, try it with a little bit of bleach...but only a little."

"Will this work?"

She shrugged, "I don't know, I haven't done the laundry for weeks."

Oh well, I got nothing to lose right now. Unlike Tanya just said, I got an entire load of clothes to get white and not some tiny stain. To be sure that it will work, I emptied the bottle into a bucket and threw the clothes inside. Leaving it like that, I decided to play with Dive some video games.
