"What is this thing you want me to go to?" You asked your boyfriend. You had only been dating a little over a month after meeting in Montreal at the start of the NHL season. When you watched the draft on TV you thought he was really cute, and just starting your online college you had plenty of time to go to Canadiens games this year. As soon as you found out what number Juraj would be wearing this season, you ordered his jersey. It was safe to say you had a little crush on him and the fact that he would be living only a few blocks down from your home. Once tickets for the season went on sale you begged your parents to get you and your friend tickets to the first game. They caved and you and your friend were on cloud 9, you two rushed to the glass for warmups and there he was, Juraj Slafkovksy. You noticed him glance your way and smile during warm-ups, as you pointed to the number 20 on your jersey. As warm-ups came to a close, he tossed you a puck he got after standing by the bench for a bit. You caught it and noticed there was a phone number on it, you were stunned. You quickly put the number in your phone and placed the puck in your pocket. You took your friend's hands in excitement and squealed. Once the game finished the first thing you did is text that number. "Hey, I'm Y/N the girl you threw the puck to" and from that moment you and Juraj began talking until around thanksgiving when he asked you out, and since then the two of you were inseparable.
"Just a little team New Year's party, that's all," he smiled.
"This is the first time I'm meeting your team J," you said.
"I know babe I'm excited," he exclaimed wrapping his arms around you from behind.
"Do you think they'll like me," you asked holding his arms.
"They're gonna love you Y/N,"
"You sure?"
"I know they will," he said squeezing you tighter and resting his cheek against yours. Juraj let go of you and you both started getting ready for the party. You were disappointed, Juraj still hadn't kissed you after over a month of being together. Every time he had the opportunity he always seemed to miss it, and you were too afraid to initiate the kiss. You left the bathroom after you finished getting ready and waited for Juraj, in the living area. When walking past his bed you noticed two pairs of flannel pajamas resting on one of the pillows, you didn't think anything of it and proceeded to wait. He walked out wearing a button-down with a blue tie to match the dress you had put on.
"You look Woah," you smirked standing up.
"What? Is bad, do I match?" he looked so panicked it was adorable.
"You look amazing J," you said fixing his hair. Your faces were so close, you were just staring at each other, you could feel your heart practically beating out of your chest, could this have been the kiss?
"You look amazing too Y/N," he smiled wrapping his arm around you, "ready to go?" You nodded as you grabbed a jacket. It was snowing out, a perfect New Year's Eve in Montreal. The two of you began walking to your destination, once you got there you began to feel nervous, Juraj could sense it and massaged your shoulders to calm you down. You took deep breaths as the door opened for the two of you by Nick Suzuki.
"Hey come on in," Juraj guided you through the door.
"Here babe give me your coat to give to Nick," Juraj said. You slowly pulled your coat off as Nick closed the door behind both of you. You handed it to Nick then immediately grabbed your boyfriend's arm.
"I'm Nick," he introduced himself.
"Y/N, nice to meet you,"
"Slaf's girlfriend, we've heard so much about you, good things of course." You smiled at Nick's kind gesture easing the grip you had on Juraj's arm.
