Ryan Lindgren-NYR

*y/ns pov*
Being a part of the Tkachuk family is a hassle, especially when the three of you play for different teams. Matthew plays for the Panthers, Brady plays for the Senators and I play for New York.

I played with my best friend Ryan Lindgren, who I had a huge crush on, but the worst part of this week was we played both teams that my older brothers we're apart of.

I was so nervous about it because they didn't know about my crush on my teammate Ryan Lindgren.

Yeah they're my older brothers but they don't need to know everything about my life. It was a Tuesday night and we were playing the Florida Panthers, Matthew's team.

I sat in the locker room half dressed in my gear, I was so anxious to see what was going down tonight. Ryan came in and said "y/n?"

I turned around and saw his baby blue eyes staring at me. He said "we have 15 minutes until we hit the ice for pregame, you have to finish getting ready." He left the room.

I put my jersey, helmet on and tied my skates. I headed to the place where my teammates were getting ready to go on the ice for warm ups, we did our pregame talk and handshakes.

Ryan put his hand on my shoulder and said "you okay y/n?" I nodded, Miller did the typical routine for going onto the ice for warm ups.

I was one of the first people to come out of the locker room tunnel. I scanned the entire length of the ice and spotted my older brother, he was talking to one of his teammates.

The media team had me get mic'd up for the game, I talked to Matt and he said "hey just because we're siblings doesn't mean I'm going easy on you."

I smirked and said "just wait for the game to start Matthew." We parted our separate ways and I took my spot on the bench next to Ryan, I said some stuff during the game to my teammates.

When I took the ice for my shift, the panthers were losing 2-0, I know Matt was not happy. I skated down the ice with Ryan and Chris, we passed it back-and-forth to each other.

I had a chance to score so I shot the puck at the net, the goal horn went off to signal that we scored a goal. Ryan had a huge smile on his face when he came over to congratulate me.

I skated down the line of players sitting on the bench, giving them high fives. Matthew gave me a quick look, he seemed annoyed, or aggravated.

It was probably because of me scoring against his team, or that I was all over Ryan. Being his little sister, he was protective over me, but during the game he would always try to make me angry.

We headed to the locker room for intermission, Ryan said "y/n can I talk to you?" I nodded and he pulled me to the bathroom area, he said "what's wrong y/n? You're never this quiet during games."

I said "I think it's time I told you this, Matthew and Brady Tkachuk are my older brothers. They're really protective of me and won't let me date anyone. That's why he gave me a look when I was giving you a hug."

He said "is that why you've been quiet? Y/n I have to confess something to you, I'm in love with you and I have been since you joined us. I was just so scared of not knowing what you thought about me."

I smiled and he said "can I kiss you y/n?" I nodded and he kissed me, it was passionate and his lips are so soft. He said "come on babe, we gotta a game to play and win."

I smiled and we headed to the ice for the second period. Once the game finished we won 7-3, Ryan and I headed back to my apartment, we showered and headed to bed.

He put his arms around my waist and drew small circles with his thumb on my stomach, I laid my head on his lap and he played with my hair. He kissed my forehead and said "I love you y/n."

I smiled and said "I love you too baby." He smiled and slowly fell asleep, I fell asleep to his soft snoring and his heart beat.
