Anxiously you waited with Steph for the Leafs to return from a roadie. While the boys had a good streak at the beginning they lost their last game 1-7 to the Flames. You knew Willy would be blaming himself just like Steph knew Mitch would do the same.

"Evelin?"

Steph shook your shoulder to get your attention.

"Hmm?"

"The plane just landed. Do you want to go down to arrival or wait up here?"

The two of you made your way to where your boyfriends would exit soon.

You really hoped that William would try to blame himself for everything. He got hit hard three nights ago and it was a surprise he even played yesterday.

"Does our double date on Friday still stand?"

You and Willy and Steph and Mitch hung out every once in a while tending to your respective friendships while also doing relationship stuff.

"I don't know, we'll see if he's up to anything. I'd actually have it rather if he'd just rest a little."

A few minutes later the team emerged from the plane. When they walked past you they just mumbled variations of "hey Evelin." and "hi Steph."

Mitch went straight to his girlfriend and hugged her. William came to you but didn't hug you, he did however take your hand and gave it a kiss.

"Hey babe."

William didn't say anything but squeezed your hand harder. You said your goodbyes to Steph and Mitch and pulled Willy towards your car. He didn't say anything the entire ride home and once you reached your apartment he unlocked the door and went straight to your bedroom. You sighed, closed the front door and hung up your jacket. When you walked into the bedroom you could see William laying on the bed with his face pressed into a pillow. You walked to the windows and let the blinds down. On the bed Willy groaned.

"Does it still hurt?"

He lifted his head a bit but didn't move otherwise.

"Just a bit. My whole side is bruised and I feel bad for not being all over you after coming home. Mitch was all over Steph but I didn't even kiss you."

You walked over to the bed and laid down next to him.

"It's okay. You're still processing the roadie, I get that. And I'm not going to be mad at you for not hugging me. I'll go downstairs and get some ice for your side and then we'll just lay here and do whatever you want okay."

You got up to get the ice when he grabbed your wrist and pulled you into a kiss.

"Thank you for always being there for me Evelin, I love you."
