NHL Imagines

Brendan Gallagher

It had been almost a month since you had been home. You were finishing up your master's degree in Boston, and the past few months had been so busy. All you could think about was Canada, and you're boyfriend, Brendan. Despite the fact that he's been state side lately with the Canadiens, you guys still hadn't been able to see each other. It was hard, but he played in Boston tonight. 

You had told him that you would try and see him, but you didn't know if you could make it to the game thanks to the ridiculous amount of homework your professor had assigned and the fact that you had to create a quiz for your lab you taught. 

You sat in the lab finishing up homework, when you glanced up at the clock, 6:15. You only had one question left, that if you finished now, you would be able to make it to the game and surprise Brendan. Rushing to finish, you smiled at the thought of seeing your boyfriend. You could just see his goofy smile now. 

You had to rush from campus to the T in order to get to TD garden before puck drop. You had your canadiens hat on with the pom pom on top and Canadiens shirt on underneath your thick coat. Brendan left you a ticket at the box office, knowing you probably wouldn't make it, but just incase. Lucky for you, he managed to snag you seats right by the glass behind the canadien's goalie. The team was taking the ice to warm up, you scanned the ice for Brendan but you couldn't find him. A few players recognized you and waved but Brendan was still no where to be seen. Glancing down at your phone, you responded to some emails, when you heard a tapping sound on the glass. You looked up and your eyes met the blue eyes you've been longing to see. He had the widest grin on his face. 

"I love you." You said to him, hoping he understood through the glass.  He did because his smile grew wider, if that was even possible. He said it back, but then had to join his team. It was a long game, that ended not so well for your team, 3-2 Boston. You were disappointed in the outcome but happy to get to see your boyfriend. You texted Brendan to see where you should go. Giving you the most complicated directions, you finally found your way to the locker room. 

You were met with a tight embrace, that lifted you from the ground. "Baby." You heard Brendan muffle into your hair. Trying not to cry, you squeezed him. Finally, set you back down and let go of you, only to have his lips meet yours. His lips lingering on yours. "I've missed that."

"Me too." you said biting your lip before kissing him once again.
