Hockey Imagines 2 [On Hold]

Alexander Wennberg ~ CBJ

"It's always been you. You and only you." (893 words)

"I'm on my way. No, you're perfectly fine to invite me over, Y/N."

"I don't want to hold you back from having fun with the guys, Alex."

"Hey. You got your heart broken barely a few hours ago. And, as your best friend, I should be there and try my best to cheer you up."

"Are you sure you're fine with this?"

"For the umpteenth time, I am coming by your place, whether you like it or not. I just have to stop somewhere and get some stuff for our night in."

"Ok. Thanks for doing this. I really appreciate it."

"I'd do anything for you, Y/N. I'll be there in ten minutes."

"Alright, I'll see you then, Alex."

"Your best friend has arrived," Alex walked inside the apartment as he carried a few bags. "And, I have the heartbreak night-in kit with me."

"Ice-cream, chocolate, and many other guilty pleasures?" Y/N sadly smiled at him as she reached over the coffee table to grab another tissue.

"Plus, I got a few boxes of 2-ply tissues. I figured you might need them," he reached into the bag and handed a brand new box over to Y/N.

"Thank you for doing all this, Alex," Y/N sniffled into the tissue before throwing it forcefully into the trashcan next to the couch.

"Hey, don't mention it. I'd be happy to be here for you anytime." Alex gulped back the feeling of sadness he felt for her.

Alex had romantic feelings for Y/N for the past year or so. But, he didn't want to admit them to her, not wanting to be stuck in the friend-zone and their relationship turn into awkwardness. He kept his feelings for her to himself, but a few of his teammates: Zach, Josh, Will, and Seth, knew his secret.

"Perhaps, a few rounds of 'NHL 17' may cheer you up a little?" Alex thought out loud as he grabbed two game controllers from the table; one for him and one for Y/N.

"I guess kicking your butt might not hurt a little," she genuinely giggled for the first time that evening as she took the controller from him and turned on the console.

"Bring on your A-game, Y/N and may the best player win." Alex winked at Y/N as he held his controller as he waited for the game to load.

"Well, tonight was definitely therapeutic." Y/N sighed with bliss as tried to shoot the puck into Alex's net, "but, you haven't said a word since you scored 10 minutes into the second period. What's up?"

"I-uh-it's just something that's been bothering me for the past year..." Alex paused the game and turned himself around to look at Y/N.

"Well, w-what is it?" Y/N had a look of confusion on her face as her E/C eyes looked into his blue eyes for answers.

"It's just... I've been having these feelings for someone, but I'm afraid to tell them." Alex looked down at the floor, not wanting to look at her.

"Well," Y/N laid her hand on his shoulders gently as she intently listened to him. Secretly, her heart broke a tiny bit when Alex started to talk about another woman, but to her defense, she didn't know he was talking about her. "I think you should just tell her how you feel about her."

"You really think so?" Alex bit his lower lip, looking back at Y/N, who nodded her head.

"Yeah," she smiled at him as she played with his dirty-blond hair. "Why don't you go out to the balcony upstairs and give her a call? I'll be down here if you need me..."

Alex, at first, looked a little unsure but nonetheless, got up from his seat and headed upstairs to the outdoor balcony. Y/N stayed back in the living room and started to dig into the carton of her favorite ice-cream when she felt her phone vibrate and her ringtone was going off.

Getting her phone out, she looked at the caller ID, only to see Alex's contact info pop up... Alex had feelings for her? Sliding the accept slider hesitantly, she pressed her phone against her ear and took a deep breath before answering. "Hello?"

"It's always been you. You and only you, Y/N." Alex whispered quietly, which made her happy.

"I love you too, Alex." She smiled at him as she went upstairs to where he was and caught him by surprise by kissing him on the lips. "You were the one I was in love with. Not any of the other people I dated."

"Then, is it okay if I took you out for dinner tomorrow night?" Alex mumbled as he pulled away from the heat of the moment kiss, but their foreheads were touching.

"Of course, I'd love to go out to dinner with you tomorrow night." Y/N smiled at him before she pulled him for another kiss. "I love you so much, Alex."

"I love you too, Y/N." Alex smiled back at her as he continued to kiss her back.
