Having your brother as the captain of the Oilers and your boyfriend as an alternate captain has its perks.

Leon and Connor are great friends but I don't know how to tell him I'm dating Leon.

it's hard to be y/n McDavid, I try so hard to be just like my older brother, it doesn't work like that.

Leon knows I want to be like Connor, he just doesn't know how I grew up, I've never told him anything about my childhood.

When Connor and I were little, we both played hockey, Mom would support us both, dad would support only Connor.

Dad was also against the idea of letting women play hockey, he would also come home drunk and verbally abuse me.

He verbally abused me for about three years, Connor stood up for me ever since. When Connor got drafted to the NHL, I was super happy for him but I was also jealous of him.

I got drafted two years later by the oilers and that's when I met Leon. He's been so kind to me ever since, we started dating in the 2021-2022 offseason.

I was so happy to have him as my partner, I sat in the locker room having a panic attack. I heard someone say "hey baby, what's wrong? Hey breath with me baby."

I looked up to see Leon, he grabbed my hands and said "baby you're shaking, what's wrong?" He sat down next to me on the bench.

I said "I'm just scared to tell Connor about us, what if he makes me break up with you? He might not be able to bear with us being together."

He said "Aw babe, we can both talk to him later, but come on we're going to be late for warmups." He left the locker room so I could change, I took off my shirt and looked at the Scars on my stomach.

I sighed and put the rest of my gear on, I headed to the locker room tunnel and Connor said "finally! It took you long enough." I rolled my eyes at him and said "lose the attitude young lady."

I said "Connor shut up! You sound like mom, you know what I can't do this anymore, I'm going home."

I headed back to the locker room with tears in my eyes, I changed back into normal clothes and left the arena. I went to my car and drove to my apartment in Edmonton.

*leons pov*
I watched as y/n left the arena because of her older brother's words, I was infuriated.

I grabbed Connor by the collar of his jersey and said "i swear to god McDavid, I'm going to kill you!"

Ryan pulled me back and said "easy Leon, you can't do that. You're gonna get your self kicked off the team." I said "it's worth it if Connor says shit about my girlfriend!"

I just blew y/n and I's cover, Connor looked at me with anger in his eyes, he said "what!? How long have you been dating y/n behind my back Leon?!"

I said "8 months, you didn't seem to care though!" We argued before the game, but eventually stopped. We were down a player though, because of y/n leaving.

Connor said "I'm sorry Leon, it's just y/and I had a terrible past. I'm just trying to keep her safe." I said "it's okay McDavid, I forgive you."

We made up and headed to the ice, for the warm ups.

*y/ns pov*
I couldn't believe him, I went to the bathroom and took a shower. When I took off my shirt, I looked in the mirror and saw the scars from my past.

I thought it looked ugly, I don't know why Leon chose me to be his girlfriend, he could do so much better.

I had the Oilers game playing softly in the background, I felt bad for walking out on the team so suddenly.

Connor just made me angry and I didn't want to take it out on them. Once I finished, I looked in my drawer for a shirt. I saw one of Leon's old oilers shirts and got a pair of shorts.

I changed into that and I sat on the couch to watch the game.

I fell asleep during the game because of all of the things that happened tonight, a few hours later I woke up to see Leon hovering over me.

He said "hi baby, are you okay?" I smiled and said "of course baby boy, how the game go? Did Connor say anything about us?"

He said "Connor and I had a little argument but he's fine with us dating, can you lift up your shirt?" I looked him in the eyes and he said "please baby, I want to see your battle scars."

I lifted up the shirt and he started to draw patterns on them, he said "baby, if you think you look ugly with these, you are gorgeous. Each of these tell a story, I think you're so beautiful with these baby."

His speech made me tear up and smile. I said "I love you so much Leon." He said "I love you more sweetheart." He kissed me and let's just say we had a busy night.
