Break the ice (Mighty ducks x reader)

26. Big surprise

We could prevent the worst, stopping the mad professor from injuring the ducks. But he was far from giving up. Dr. Pretorious created a creature of several animals mixed together. Nosedive could take down the doc, but the weird creature was a different level, hitting the young duck hard. It walked towards the other three, stopping before Wild wing. It didn't hesitate to hit the goalie with a massive crab claw. Aiming for his head, I panicked. In one go, I tackled the creature, only to make it move a few inches back, missing the head entirely. Luckily, Wild wing's chest was covered by his amour. Nosedive gave it another shot, taking a lot more force to take the creature down. With a hook, he made this thing dangle in the air on its foot. Shortly after, the doctor joined his creation, by Wild wing hanging him up on another hook. This case was closed for the ducks; the rest is for the police to take care of.

Later that day, we left the village.

The people thanked the ducks for their help. Nosedive felt really proud of himself, "Finally a few words of gratitude."

"So humans aren't so bad after all?"

Dive nodded, rubbing his beak, "Let's say, there is hope in humanity."

I rolled my eyes, seeing his cheeky grin. Duke asked him later on at the pond, while Wild wing and I inspected the mask. Tanya worked really hard to fix the damage, it looks like new. The goalie was sure, that all the problems they had could have been prevented with that mask, but things like that happen once in a while. At least they all survived and didn't lose a single feather at the end. With the Aerowing, they flew to San Francisco for their game. The rest of the ducks were in a deep conversation, Tanya was the pilot, wild wing and I went to the back. He thinks that now is a good time to discuss his feelings. He knows how I feel and it hasn't changed ever since. Out of sight, we sat together, "N/A, I must be honest with you."

"Why?"

My sudden interruption distracted his train of thoughts, "Do you remember as we visited your parents?"

"How could I forget...you rejected me"

"I lied"

That was surely a massive shock, "Come again?"

"I lied to you, because I was afraid"

"Of what?"

His hand crawled over o mine,"I was afraid of losing you"

"And lying to me won't?"

Wild wing was at loss for words, knowing he screwed up. On the day I confessed, he was caught off guard, didn't have any time to reflect his own feelings. At the end, he just lied to protect himself. Obviously it did more damage than it could prevent. He told me about it, how my confession made him scared. I listened to him, not judging or criticize his explanations. Slowly my hand held his a little bit more with force, feeling unsure of how to take it all in. Wild wing waited for an answer, if I could forgive him for the lie and start all over again. I breathed out loud, "Okay, I give you a chance, but don't ever lie to me again."

"I promise"

"So does this mean...we are together?"

The goalie shook his head, "We are no 'just' together...we will be 'officially' together."

"What is the difference?"

His beak got closer to my cheek, giving me a little kiss, "You see."

"Hey Wild wing, we are here!" announced Duke out loud. Coming from the back, he looked out the window. They landed next to the stadium, as the goalie ask me for something. He didn't want to say for what it is for, but he assured me, that I will never forget it. I wasn't aware of the surprise, as Wild wing ask Phil to get me a VIP ticket for the first row. At first he was against it, because of the amount of money he had to spend. The goalie knew that the manager would resist, telling him that it would be more invested than spend. Suddenly, the manager was highly alert, "Investment you say?"

"But you have to trust me; it will benefit your business"

On the next day, he had the ticket. Phil couldn't wait to see what he invested on. Wild wing told him to watch the game and then he will know.

I watched with excitement at the ducks. Not only did they got me a shirt of their team to wear, but also the VIP ticket. I was speechless. The team captain however, wanted me to be as close to his goal as possible. Since he had the guts to share his feelings and give me a surprise, why should I refuse? The rest of the team wasn't aware of his plans, just seeing the game like any other. But this will surprise anyone who watches the game, since this won't happen all too often.

Sitting in the front row, I waved over to the goalie.

The rest of the team inspected their opponents with interest, till the game starts. Crossing my arms together, I didn't see the big surprise in it. All I could see was a normal game; even the beak was like the usual thing. A few whistles, one power play and their opponent lost one member on the third warning. I started to get bored, "What is it I am waiting for?" Only wild wing could tell me, but he had no time. All he has done is waving in my direction at the short breaks or just looked over. The final shot from Grin made them win the game by one extra point. Like any other fan, I stood up with the crowd and cheered out loud, "DUCKS ROCK!"
