NHL Imagines

Andrew Shaw

"So, when are you going to tell him?" Your brother, Corey Crawford, said to you as you walked to the kitchen. You guys were technically roommates because he let you live in his apartment until you found your own.

"What do you mean?" You ask.

"Come on. You know, about your huge crush on Andrew Shaw?"

"I don't have a crush on him!" You lied. You had a huge crush on your brother's teammate. You didn't know what it was about him. Maybe it's his looks. Or his sense of humor.

"I know you do. You even told me!" Corey was practically yelling. "If you don't say anything to him then maybe I will."

"You wouldn't," you scold.

"Try me," he retorted.

"Okay, fine!"

"Great because your coming to training camp with me today and afterwards, you'll talk to him." You sighed.

>>>>>>>>>>

You thought training camp went well. It was great to see all the guys back  together on the ice after a long summer. While you were waiting for Corey to finish in the locker room, you noticed Andrew walk out of the locker room. You pull out your phone and browse through Instagram, hoping he doesn't notice you.

But he does. He walks towards you and sits on the bench next to you. "Hi," he says.

You immediately put your phone back in your purse and look at him. "H-hi," you reply.

"Your brother told me to come talk to you..."

"About what?!" You interrupt, nervous to hear what his response will be.

"He said that you um really wanted one of my um jerseys but you didn't have like enough money and he wanted to know if I'd be able to uh help you," Andrew says, confusing you. You never told Corey that you wanted a Shaw jersey and that you didn't have enough money.

"Oh, uh yeah," you said playing along.

"Well, was he supposed to say anything else?"

"No! No, not that I know."

"Oh." There was a short moment of silence. "Okay, do you wanna know the truth?" Andrew says, breaking the silence.

"Um, sure?" You question. You start to think about Corey and why he's taking longer.

"Okay, so I was lying. Corey never told me anything about you wanting one of my jerseys. I'm guessing you just went along with my stupid story. I was just saying that because I needed and excuse to talk to you. I um, I like you."  You were really shocked. A happy shocked.

"Oh, I like you too," you said.

"Do you wanna go get some lunch and then go to my place? We can get to know more about each other."

"Sure, but no netflix and chilling," you said, making him laugh.
