Treated Like A Princess

Gabe Perrault x Female Reader

word count: 1.3k

let me know what you guys think🤍

Gabe and I have been dating for the past 8 months. We met when Gabe played for the NTDP last year. We had to do a project together in school so we got close. I had broken up with my abusive boyfriend about 3 months earlier so I wasn’t looking for a boyfriend, but Gabe made me change my mind.

After a month of knowing Gabe and him trying to ask me out on a date, I told him about my ex which isn’t something I like to talk about but for some reason I knew I could trust Gabe so I told him. Gabe was angry at my ex which is understandable, and he also promised me he would never hurt me and if I gave him a chance he could prove it.

I ended up giving him a chance and it’s probably one of the best decisions I could have made, he treats me like a princess everyday. He asked me to be his girlfriend last May.

In high school we would go to some of the same places we just never saw each other, until we started working on a project together. We found out that we were both about to start our freshman year of College at Boston College.

We spent most of the time during summer that he wasn’t training together. When we got to Boston College at the end of August we saw each other as much as we could before he got too busy with hockey and me with school.

His teammates are all pretty great. Him and the rest of the Freshman all live in dorms close to each other so I've been spending a lot of time there instead of my dorm. I got pretty close to them, they're great guys, they’re always doing something stupid.

…

Tonight the hockey team was throwing a party after their big win, since I’m dating Gabe I always go.

Thankfully the party was at the Seniors house. Gabe told me he would meet me at my dorm room before going to the party. I had taken my car to the arena, I went back to my dorm room so I could change before making my way to Gabe’s dorm room. I was laying on Gabe’s bed scrolling through TikTok waiting for him to get home.

At around 10:00 p.m. his bedroom door opened and Gabe walked in. I looked up from my phone and smiled at him. He dropped his bag at the end of the bed on the floor, before he made his way to me, placing a kiss on my forehead.

“Sorry it took so long, some of the guys needed a drive so Ryan went to drive them to the dorms to get change before coming back here” he said.

“No worries. What time is everyone going to start showing up?” I asked.

“Soon we can make our way there as soon as I get changed.” he said

He was looking in his closet for jeans and a tee shirt, he turned around and chuckled at me.

“What?” I looked at him confused.

“The team is already there, they have been setting up for a little bit, did you not see the text in the group chat” he said laughing. I shrugged.

“I don’t know… I was scrolling through TikTok so I didn’t see it,” I said , smiling shyly.

Was I that focussed on Tiktok that I didn’t realize they were texting in the group chat?

I’ve been in a group chat with Ryan, Will and Gabe since the UNTDP days.

Once Gabe was changed he grabbed my hand.

“Come on, let's go to the party” he said smiling.

I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before I let him walk us to the party.

“This party is going to be pretty big tonight so stay by me please or if you go somewhere make sure you’re with one of the girls” he said and I nodded.

I’ve always been scared that I might run into my ex boyfriend at Boston College parties since he also goes here, thankfully Gabe always keeps an I on me and most of the parties the guys throw they make sure he doesn’t get in, but tonight is also an open house, so anyone could show up.

We made our way to the kitchen, Gabe took a drink for himself then handed me one. I stayed with him as we talked with Drew and Will. Ryan and his girlfriend Julie made their way to us.

I talked with Julie while the guys talked with Ryan.

Gabe had his arm around me, we stood in the kitchen next to the counter after the others left to talk to other people.

I was looking around to see if I could possibly see some of my other friends, until my eyes landed on my ex.

I really hoped he wouldn’t be here, I hope that he knew I was dating one of the guys so wouldn’t come anywhere near me since Gabe could beat him up.

I stood still in shock with my eyes wide. Gabe noticed I wasn’t answering him so he looked at me concerned. He looked to try and find what I was looking at when I felt his body tensed.

Gabe put his drink on the counter, took mine and did the same before taking my hand and leading me towards the stairs.

He stopped by Cutter and Charlie before telling them something, I didn’t hear what he said. All I saw was them nodding before he dragged me out of the party and to his dorm room, thankfully it wasn’t far away, but I’m stuck in shock so I didn’t realize how fast the walk went.

He sat me down at the end of his bed before squatting down in front of me. He put both his hands on my cheeks so I could look him in the eyes.

“Hey beautiful, look at me, you have to breath” he said softly

I took a deep breath. He nodded.

“Just like that… keep doing it”

I did it a few more times, Before I was able to calm down.

“Are you doing better?” He asked

I nodded.

“Thank you, I didn’t think I would actually see him here” I said slowly.

“You don’t have to thank me, Cutter and Charlie said they would handle it” he said and I nodded.

“Do you want to stay here and cuddle?” He asked again.

“Can we? It’s your team's party. I don't want you to have to stay here with me, when you should be celebrating with your team” I asked shyly. I didn’t want to ruin his night, just because mine was.

He shook his head before smiling at me.

“Babe, I’d rather spend time with you,” he said leaning in and kissing my forehead. He got up and went to his closet and took out sweatpants and a hoodie along with my bag. He walked back to me and gave me the hoodie and my bag.

“Go change,” he said. I nodded and made my way to the bathroom. To do my skincare routine and change into comfy clothes. Once I slipped on my Pj shorts and Gabe's hoodie I went back to his room.

Gabe was laying under the bed covers scrolling through his phone. When he saw me, he put his phone on the nightstand before making a grabby hand at me.

“Come here,” he said. I made my own on the other side of the bed and god under the covers. Gabe pulled me to his chest holding me tight, I closed my eyes, with Gabe I always feel safe.

He kissed my forehead.

“I love you so much, and I promise I will never let him hurt you again” he whispered.

“Thank you… for everything. I love you too”

“You never have to thank me for anything. Now get some sleep, I’ll be here when you wake up” he said softly.

I fell asleep listening to his heartbeat.

“JUST SAY SOMETHING, OLIVIA.”

gabe perreault x hughes!sister

au masterlist

Gabe Perreault was an absolute sweetheart. He’d make sure you were full everytime he stopped by your dorm, and always gave you his hoodies that he had sprayed in his cologne so you could have them when you missed him too much. He always walked on the outside part of the sidewalk, and make sure you never paid on dates. It was just who Gabe was, caring and loving.

Did this mean Jack and Luke liked him? No, not really.

Sure, he was a decent guy in their eyes, but never good enough for their little sister. That was just what it was. No matter how hard Gabe tried to display how much he loved and appreciated you, Jack and Luke were stubborn in the head.

“Will you two stop it?” Quinn scolds, watching his two younger brothers stare down Gabe as he was braiding your hair. You two had gone to visit your brothers and parents since it was winter break at Princeton.

“Stop what?” Jack feigned innocence, which led him and Luke to receive both a slap on the head from Quinn. “Ouch! Quinn!”

“He’s a good guy,” Quinn says, eyes averting to you and Gabe on the couch, “hell, I’m in Vancouver and even I know that. He makes her happy.”

“He makes her happy now,” Luke says, rolling his eyes. “And what will happen once he starts playing in the NHL? Surrounded by the sudden wave of women, while Livvy’s busy studying at Princeton?”

“Are you implying our little sister’s boyfriend is gonna cheat on her?” Quinn grits his teeth in annoyance.

“Hey,” Luke raises his hands in surrender, “you said it yourself, not me.”

Quinn gets up from his seat, not wanting to deal with the two Hughes’ stubbornness any longer.

“Hi.” You say as you take a seat next to Luke on one of the island’s chairs. Gabe sits right next to you, giving a small wave and awkward smile to your brothers.

“Hey.” Jack’s tone doesn’t sound too friendly, which catches your attention right away. You quickly shoot him a glare, making sure he wasn’t going to say or do anything rude to your boyfriend.

“So, Gabe?” Luke’s tone is just as harsh as Jack’s, and you swore you could feel Gabe’s hold on you loosen in nervousness.

“Yep, that’s me.” Gabe tries his best to give a bright smile, though his confidence had died as soon as he saw how unwelcoming Jack and Luke were. “Nice to meet you guys! Livvy has told me so much about you, so it’s nice to meet two of the important people in her life.”

“Right,” Jack eyes Gabe up and down before clearing his throat. “So, Gabriel, what are your intentions with my sister?”

“Jack!” You smack your brother on the arm, already knowing where this was heading.

“All good intentions Jack,” Gabe replies. “I love your sister.”

“Love,” Jack laughs as if it’s the funniest thing in the world and Gabe wishes desperately for the ground to swallow him up right then and there. He loved you, so why was it so amusing to your brother that he expressed so?

“You play hockey, don’t you?” Now it was Luke’s turn to interrogate.

Gabe nods slowly, hoping your parents or Quinn could interrupt the moment.

“Heard you got drafted. Big deal, right? Do you see Livvy in your future, Gabe? Especially with all the women that will be surrounding you in the nearby future? I know how hockey guys can be, and you do too, don’t you? I mean, you are one, are you not?”

The implication of Gabe possibly cheating on you makes his breath hitch and he so desperately wants to throw up. How could your brothers think so badly of him? Of course he wouldn’t cheat on you.

“Excuse me for a second,” Gabe gets up, heading to the guest bathroom. He feels sick, so much so that he needs to wash his face with cold water to breathe properly again.

When he slowly opens the door, he finds you with your eyebrows furrow as your brothers list off a reasons why dating him wouldn’t be a good idea.

“Look Livvy, he’s a hockey player. A hockey player. He’s bound to break your heart, we all know this.”

“You’re a smart, talented girl Livs. You’re not gonna let him ruin you and leave you in the mud, are you?”

“Livvy, honestly, he’s not good enough for you.”

“He will never be good enough for you, with a draft or without.”

And he hears them say this without you ever coming into his defense. No “you’re wrong about him” or “Gabe isn’t like that”, absolutely nothing.

Gabe’s lip quivers, and he never felt more out of place than he had now.

“Gabe?” Your voice breaks him out of his trance, and you approach him with a sad look in your eye, automatically bringing your hands up to wipe his tears away.

But Gabe pushes your hand from his face, not wanting comfort from a person who just let their brothers talk badly about him for the entire time.

“Gabe, what’s wrong?” You frown. Gabe never once pushed your touches away, so you knew this was serious. “I’m sorry about Jack and Luke baby, I didn’t know they would be like that.”

“You didn’t defend me.”

He says it so low that you didn’t even hear it the first time.

“Gabe?”

“You didn’t defend me.”

His tears come down more than before, and your instincts tell you to hold him in your arms and wipe away all of them, but you knew he didn’t want you to touch him right now.

“I’m sorry baby, but they’re my older brothers, I..”

“Just say something, Olivia.” Gabe stresses, hands coming up to wipe away his tears. “Tell them that I love you, you know I do. You know how much you mean to me, yet you let them just talk your ear off about how I’ll never be enough for you.”

Gabe’s usage of your full middle name makes your heart hurt. Never had he called you Olivia.

“Gabe—”

“I think we should take a break, Olivia.”

There it goes again. Olivia.

You gulp, trying to keep your tears at bay. “If that’s what you want, baby, then we can do that.”

Gabe nods slowly, not trusting his words at this point. He’s worried he’s gonna say the wrong things and make the situation worse.

He loves you, he does. But he needs a break.

“I’m sorry Y/N.”

And that’s enough to make you crack. Your sobs wreck your entire body as you watch Gabe reach for his things, leaving out the door. He mentioned about having a friend living nearby, so you’re glad to know that he has a place to stay for the time being.

“Livvy? Are you okay sissy?” Quinn’s voice automatically makes you cry harder, and he doesn’t waste a second before pulling you into his chest, arms coming to wrap themselves around you.

“No.” Is all you can mutter as you bury yourself into his chest, letting him rub your arms comfortingly.

Quinn sits with you for a while, letting you cry out your feelings before you fall into a deep slumber. Carefully, he places you down on your bed, giving you a quick kiss to the forehead before turning off the lights.

He descends down the stairs, quickly making his way to Jack and Luke who were currently playing video games as if nothing happened.

Grabbing both by the ear, Quinn sits them down at a table, a murderous look in his eyes.

“Ow! You did not have to do that,” Jack grumbles, placing both his arms across his chest.

“Oh but I did.” Quinn crosses his arms angrily, glaring at both Jack and Luke. “Listen, I knew you two were dumbasses, but I didn’t think you’d be this dumb.”

“What on earth are you talking about?!” Luke sighs loudly, upset at Quinn interrupting his game time with Jack.

“You practically ruined Livvy’s relationship!” Quinn shouts, pointing an accusing finger at the two. “Are you guys happy?! Are you guys thrilled that you’ve ruined your younger sister’s relationship? Does it live up to your satisfaction?!”

Jack and Luke’s eyebrows furrow, not realizing that you were currently asleep with puffy eyes and that Gabe was equally heartbroken, face in a pillow as he cried to his friend about what had happened.

“They broke up?” Jack says, breath hitched.

“No they didn’t break up,” Quinn sighs, and the two swore they could practically see steam coming from his nose. “But they’re on a break, all thanks to the idiotic and rude comments you made about Gabe earlier. You know how much Livvy looks up to the two of you, yet you choose to make these comments about her and Gabe, and how he’s gonna potentially cheat on her in the future?! That’s sick! That is so fucking sick that you would do that to your own sister, and justify it by saying you’re just being a good older brother? No. That is not what we are going to do, Jack, Luke.”

Being scolded by Quinn was almost if not worse than being scolded by their parents. Like you, Jack and Luke had always looked up to Quinn as a sort of guide in their life, and now that he was furious with them, it made their chest turn in guilt.

“You better go and apologize not only to Livvy, but to Gabe. He’s a sweetheart, and he’s tried desperately to put up with you two’s nonsense. Enough is enough, alright?! No more of this overprotective brother bullshit, put your differences aside for Livvy. My God,”

Jack and Luke can only nod in embarrassment as Quinn leaves the kitchen, both realizing the depth of their words.

That night, they had called Gabe, apologizing nonstop for what they had done and said. Thankfully, Gabe was a very forgiving person, and actually found out he had a lot in common with your older brothers than he had previously thought.

The next day, he had showed up to the house, your favorite flowers in hand.

“Hey man,” Luke greets, throwing Gabe an awkward but apologetic smile. Gabe mumbles a quiet hey back, asking him where you were.

“She’s upstairs, Jack and I are really sorry about what happened. We can’t apologize enough.”

“It’s alright,” Gabe says, “thank you for owning up to your mistakes.”

He makes his way up the stairs, seeing you still asleep with one of his grey hoodies over your body. He places a quick peck to your lips, frowning when he realizes your eyes were puffy.

“Livvy,” he whispers, smoothing out your hair.

“Mhm..” you open your eyes slowly, seeing Gabe in your view. “Am I still dreaming?”

He giggles slightly, shaking his head. “No pretty girl, you’re not dreaming.”

You quickly pull Gabe into a hug, placing kisses all over his face. “I’m sorry baby, I know I should’ve said something.”

“It’s alright Livvy,” Gabe presses a kiss to the side of her head, “I know you wanted to.”

You two lay on your bed for the rest of the morning, laughing about how short your “break” was and how you were totally going to beat Jack and Luke up later for this.

You had actually woken up in the middle of the night to your mother, Ellen, rubbing her thumb over your cheek. You had sobbed to her, explaining what had happened, and Ellen had automatically gone to yell at her sons, regardless if it was midnight or not.

They had listened to every word she had lectured out, and explained to her how they had already called Gabe to apologize. Needless to say, Jack and Luke never spoke badly about Gabe again.
