NHL Imagines

Mikael Granlund

"You're coming to the game right?", I ask Mikael as I tie my running shoe.

"Yeah.", he says not looking up from his laptop.

I finish tying my running shoe and then stand up. Putting my hands on my hips, I raise my eyebrows.

"Mikael.", I say trying to get his attention.
He doesn't look up from the screen.

I grab a pillow from the couch and playfully throw it at him to get his attention.

"Sorry (Y/N), I was checking my schedule this season.", he smiles at me.

"This game means a lot to me and I would really appreciate if, you my boyfriend, would come to it.", I speak in a serious tone.

Mikael gets up from the couch and stands behind me while putting his hands on my waist.

"I'll be there baby. I promise.", he whispers into my ear.

"Thank you.", I turn around and place a small kiss on his lips.

"Well I better be going, I don't want to be late for the opening game of the season.", I say as I grab my keys from the counter.

"Bye babe. See you in a bit.", Mikael calls from the couch.

"Love you.", I say as I close the apartment door and then walk to my car.

Five minutes later I arrive at Mariucci Arena. I head inside and go into the locker room. Before I get dressed I send Mikael a quick text.

To: Mikael😘❤️
From: (Y/N)
Remember My game. Luv u lots baby❤️

I send the text and then get dressed in my hockey gear. I am still in college so I play for the University Of Minnesota. Our mascot is the Gophers.

"Welcome to the Mariucci arena! Today's game is the UND Hawks", the announcer says as the opposing team skates onto the ice.

"Vs. your UMN Gophers!"

Our team skates onto the ice and does some warmup laps. I scan the arena for Mikael but I don't see him.

The game goes by quickly and before I know it, it's the third period with only a minute left. I get a breakaway and skate full speed with the puck and then I deke the goalie for a goal. I cheer with my team as the crowd goes wild.

After the game I get undressed quickly to go see Mikael. I go upstairs to go find him. I try to make my way through the crowd of people. No sign of him. I sigh. I see my parents.

"Great game (Y/N)!", they say as I hug them.

"Thanks mom and dad.", I smile.

"Um. Did you happen to see Mikael at all?", I ask hoping for a yes.

"No sorry honey.", my mom says.

"Ok. Well I got to go. Bye mom. Bye dad.", I smile.

"Bye (Y/N).", my dad says as I walk away to my car.

A few minutes later, I arrive at my apartment that I share with Mikael.
I open the door and walk in furiously.

I look around and he's not here.
I sigh and go into my room to change into my pajamas. When I'm coming out of our bedroom, I hear the front door open then close.

"Hey baby.", Mikael says as he kisses my cheek and hugs me, but I pull away.

"What's wrong?", he asks.

I give him a cold stare before answering him.

"Oh. Well, let's see. You forgot to come to my game and now you ask what's wrong!", I rant.

His eyes go wide then he gives me a sympathetic look.

"Oh My gosh. I am so sorry (Y/N). I totally forgot."

"You forgot? How did you? I told you before I left and in the locker room I sent a text."

"Parise invited me to a party and I kinda lost track of time.", he says as he scratches the back of his neck.

I roll my eyes. A tear starts to form on the corner of my eye.

"Don't cry baby. Come on.", he says as he walks over to wipe it away.

"Don't touch me!", I scream. Mikael starts to lose his patience with me.

"You know what (Y/N). Calm down! It's just a college game. It's not that big of a deal!", he shouts.

I can feel tears escaping my eyes. I break out crying and run to our bedroom.

"Wait! (Y/N)! I didn't mean that, I was just mad!", he says running after me.

I crawl into the covers.

"Go.", I sniffle. He crawls into the covers with me.

"(Y/N). I'm sorry I was just mad because I forgot to come to your game.", he says rubbing my back.

"I swear. This won't happen again.", he begs. I turn around to face him. There is a small silence between us then I speak up.

"I scored today.", I say to him.

He doesn't respond he just kisses me.

"I'm sorry.", he murmurs against my lips.

"It's alright.", I smile at him, "Everyone makes mistakes."

"I love you.", I say.

"I love you too (Y/N)." He kisses me and we drift off to sleep.
