The goal horn thundered throughout Amalie Arena after this entire season of memories being made Michigan had lost to Quinnipiac and it was over. You saw the heartbreak of your hockey family, as the boys filed through the handshake line before heading back to their respective ends. You tried to keep your emotions pushed down to put on a smile for your boyfriend Luca, you knew how upset he would be after going this far his freshman year, especially with it being an overtime loss to end his season.
You waited with the other families to get to the locker room after the game ended, and people began to file out of the arena. You stood with the Fantillis and waited until you saw Adam walk out of the locker room. He showed a half smile with red eyes, then looked back down at the ground dropping his things and slowly walking to his parents. You watched the family hug, feeling a little awkward and bad for Adam, if he was like this you couldn't imagine how Luca would be. The family hug broke apart, and Adam turned to face you. You opened your arms, for him to fall into,
"Thanks, Y/N," he sniffled.
"Of course Adam, I'm sorry about the game," you said as you let go. He wiped his eyes as you waited for Luca to come out of the locker room. You watched a few more players walk out then there he was, your sweet boy a mess. He like Adam walked over to the Fantillis hugging them with Adam joining in, then the two brothers hugged, making you start to get emotional. Luca looked up from Adam's shoulder seeing you standing behind him. He let go of Adam and wiped his eyes as if he was embarrassed to be seen crying in front of you. He slowly approached you, clearing his throat.
"Come here, Lu," you held out your arms. He fell into your arms sniffling, as the tears all started again. No embarrassment, no judgment, just being there for him through this tough time. You played with his hair as his head rested on your shoulder, and you rubbed his back with your other hand. Your hug broke apart after a moment, you kept your arm on his back, as he kept his arm around you. You walked down the hallway all the way to the exit of the arena where the Quinnipiac fans were waiting to taunt the team. You screamed back at those taunting and yelling at you as you got Luca to the bus. The boys threw their things underneath and got on,
"I'll see you later babe," Luca said. The door closed behind him, you waved goodbye as the bus pulled away.
You got to the hotel and saw a few of the boys sitting in the lobby, Adam was one of them. He smiled and waved when he saw you,
"Room 307 Y/N," he said, "we couldn't get him to come down, so hopefully you can cheer him up." You nodded and headed towards the elevator. On your trip up to the third floor, you thought about how to approach Luca. The doors slid open giving you less time to think. You walked down the hall to the room waiting outside the door for a minute, you were about to knock when the door opened.
"Oh hey Y/N," he said.
"Going somewhere?" you asked.
"Not anymore, I was gonna look for Adam he wasn't answering me but, now you're here." He smirked and grabbed your hand pulling you into the room, and shutting the door behind you. He let go of you and flopped on his bed. He let out a dramatic sigh, staring at the ceiling.
"Lu?" He turned his head to look at you. He gave you an annoyed look, then went back to staring at the ceiling.
"What babe?"
"I know you're upset." With that statement, he snapped up. He sat up and turned to face you,
"I'm just disappointed, you know for the older guys, it's hard." He patted the bed next to him, you sat down.
"I know that's not it, what's on your mind?" Luca went silent. You put your hand on his hand that was resting on his thigh. He looked at you and locked his fingers with yours.
"I don't know, it just went so fast Y/N, I wanted that winning feeling to last a little longer," he gave a half smile and shrugged.
"Are you reading my mind? I was literally thinking that earlier," you laughed.
"I guess we are feeling the same thing,"
"Yeah," he rubbed his thumb on your hand. You kicked off your shoes and lied down back on the bed, sighing. He lied next to you, gazing into your eyes. You pulled his head onto your chest, playing with his hair. He closed his eyes and smiled,
"You know Lu, it's not so bad," he rolled over on his stomach to be lying on top of you. You continued playing with his hair as he looked at you.
"I guess, don't know what'll do with all my free time, hmm maybe video games with the boys all the time, as well as school work obviously," he smirked.
"Woah bud, you forgetting anything"
"No I don't think so," he teased.
"Don't play dumb Fantilli," you rolled your eyes. He grinned, raising his eyebrows, then scooted closer to your face. He placed his hand on your cheek, locking his lips with yours. You wrapped your arms around his neck, trying to pull him closer which was impossible. You both gasped for air, as you ran out of breath, locking your lips once more, your hands moved from his neck to his back. You held him tightly as you broke apart once more. He opened his eyes smiling,
"Maybe I'll make some time for that too," he said, moving off your chest to the space on the bed next to you.
"Oh, you think?"
"Shut up," he laughed, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
"Okay okay, did I cheer you up though?" you asked grinning.
"I don't know, I'm still a little upset," he gave you puppy dog eyes.
"What am I gonna do with you babe?" you sighed.
"This." He pulled your face to him once again pressing his lips to yours, putting his other arm around you, and pulled you into his chest. You ruffled his hair, as the kiss deepened.
