part one, part two

taglist: @chelawrites @faithshuoseofchaos

October 6, 2023

Cynthia was zipping close her empty suitcases when she heard a knock on her door. She looked up from her closet and walking out of her room down the hallways towards the front door, She opened the door seeing Luke standing there with wet curls, a big bouquet of flowers and what look like a bag of food, “Hi baby.” Luke softly smiled despite being tired, excited to see her.

“Luke.” Cynthia grinned brightly lunging forwards and wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, feeling his chest shake with a fond chuckle before Luke wrapped his arms around the best he could.

The two both been very busy and have barley seen each other the last month, With Cynthia having all the fashion weeks and Luke having preseason the two schedules have not been aligned whatsoever, but it’s honestly reassured both of them that even in the beginning of their relationship, neither of their busy schedules affected their relationship, while of course they both missed each other, Cynthia and Luke obviously understand each other and understand being busy.

Cynthia cuddled close to Luke enjoying his warmth before reluctantly pulling away knowing Luke has his hands full, Cynthia cupped his face smiling up a him, “Hi Lu.”

“Hi.” Luke smiled down at her.

Cynthia gently pulled away looking down seeing Luke’s duffle bag set on her front mat and picking it, “Come on my love i want to hear everything.” Cynthia smiled over her shoulder watching Luke walk behind her. He slipped his shoes off and followed Cynthia to her living room, As she set his bag on a chair.

Cynthia sat down on her couch looking up Luke, Luke smiled setting the bag of food on the coffee table before sitting down next to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and handing her the bouquet of flowers, “For you darling.” Luke softy smiled kissing the top of her head breathing in the distinct scent of Cynthia, the smell of fresh strawberries, sweet floral and hints of vanilla, Luke has always been reminded of Cynthia when he smells those scents. Luke closed his eyes leaning his head on top of Cynthia.

“Thank you Lu.” Cynthia smiled looking down at the bouquet of flowers before gently setting them on the coffee table and grabbing the bag of food, Cynthia grabbed the blanket next to her on the couch throwing it over them before opening the food bag smelling the scent of a cheeseburger. Luke pulled his head up from Cynthia’s grabbing a cheeseburger.

Cynthia and Luke were both exhausted as they ate in silence, enjoying the comfort in each other’s company.

“Can we talk more tomorrow?” Cynthia mumbled into Luke chest as she rested on him when they finished eating their dinners. Cynthia wanting to talk about everything she’s missed which is really not that much since they have face timed lots but she wants to hear everything again.

“Course baby.” Luke softly mumbled back also wanting to hear anything he missed lately, “Come on let’s go to sleep.” He gently stood pulling Cynthia with him, He lead them both to her bed knowing they are to tired to even care to do their nightly routine, Cynthia pulled the covers up and quickly slid in holding her hands towards Luke, Luke who smiled fondly and got into bed quickly cuddling with Cynthia.

October 7, 2023

Cynthia woke up to the feeling of a hand brushing through her hair, she nuzzled more into Luke’s chest. She felt one of his hand resting on her back and the other brushing through her hair.

“Good morning baby.” Luke’s voice had a deeper rasp to it and his eyes were still dropping from sleep, but he woke up before her and just layed there holding Cynthia and admiring her for a while.

Cynthia grumbled keeping her head burrowed in Luke’s chest, Cynthia never been a morning person and could easily spend the day in bed sleeping if she could. Another reason she had blackout curtains in her room.

Luke smiled kissing the top of her head, loving he’s the person who now gets to see her like this, knowing she’s not even grumpy but has always had a hard time waking up. He gently brushed his hand against her back knowing it wakes up her.

Cynthia hummed slightly her eyes slowly relaxing open, Her eyes peaked up from Luke’s chest towards Luke eyes, who was already was looking at her and enjoying seeing her beautiful green eyes and all her beautiful honey brown freckles that are barley noticeable if you aren’t right by her face.

“Hi.” Cynthia mumbled closing her eyes when Luke pressed a soft kiss to her temple, loving how her the days she start with Luke are already better days.

“Hi my sweet girl.” Luke softly smiled down at his girlfriend. He nudged his nose softly to her’s, “What do you want for breakfast sweet girl?”

Cynthia rested her cheek on Luke’s chest still looking up at him, “Pancakes?” One of Cynthia’s favorite foods has always been pancakes but Luke has always made them a hundred times better than anyone else.

“Of course.” Luke chuckled slighty kissing her cheek softly, Despite not being very good in the kitchen there is a few things Luke can go and they all happen to be really good and Cynthia loves when Luke’s cooks for her. Luke gently picked her head up resting it on the pillow instead of his chest and slipped out of the bed, He leaned down kissing Cynthia’s head before heading towards the kicthen. He ran a hair through his curls as he walked across the penthouse entering the kitchen and grabbing everything to make pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes.

Cynthia walked across the penthouse stopping before entering the kitchen watching Luke make breakfast around her kitchen is something she never wants to stop seeing. She smiled walking up behind and wrapping her arms around his bare stomach and leaning her cheek on his back. Luke gently squeezed one of her hands before flipping another pancake. Cynthia stayed holding Luke as he continued to make them breakfast. He turned off the stove as Cynthia grabbed the syrup from the fridge and two plates for them setting it on the kicthen island and sliding in the barstool.

Luke slide the plate of pancakes onto the island and the bowl of fruit as well, he sat down next to Cynthia on a barstool. Cynthia pursed her lip before scooting the barstool she’s sitting in closer to Luke, making their stools touch, she leaned her head on the his arms.

Luke looked down smiling at her, Cynthia’s eyes went to Luke’s face seeing the smile on it, “What i missed you.” And Cynthia did miss Luke, she always does but now that their feelings are admitted she doesn’t have to hide that she missed him.

Luke felt his face soften and slowly morph into a look reserves solely for her, “I missed you too baby.” Luke kissed her temple softly before pulling back and putting pancakes on both their plates for them as Cynthia put some fruit on both their plates.

The two ate talking about eveything from the last few days while finishing up their breakfast.

Cynthia got up putting hand on Luke’s shoulder from stopping him from getting up, “Stay here i have something for you.” Cynthia slipped the dishes into the sink before walking towards the other side of the kicthen where a small box is, she picked it up before walking back to Luke. Cynthia stood behind Luke wrapping her arms around setting the box on the counter and resting her chin on hair shoulder, “Open it love.”

Luke untied the box opening the top and seeing a key on a keychain with a little c on it.

“I know it’s only been a month officially for us, but i’ve known you my whole life Luke, and i know we both have busy lives and i want you to be able to come over when you can.” Cynthia bit her lip slightly nervous to see Luke’s reaction.

“You’re giving me a key.” Luke gently turned around making Cynthia arms move so they are still wrapped around his neck and his hands naturally rested on her hips.

“Yeah.” Cynthia hesitated nodding.

Luke smiled cupping her face and gently kissing her, he pulled back befroe covering her face in kisses, Cynthia smile was bright as Luke covered every inch of her face in a kiss, “Thank you Jj.” Luke pressed one more long kiss to her lips befroe resting their foreheads together.

Cynthia nudged his nose back in reply.

“Let me take you on a real date, please.” Luke softly asked holding her face in her hands delicately like she’s his whole world.

“Yes, Yeah.” Cynthia smiled nodding quickly.

“Good.” Luke stroked her cheek bone with his thumb, before looking down at his watch and seeing the time was already 1:00 PM as they slept in for a while, “How about you go get ready and we can go?”

“Okay, What should i wear?” Cynthia asked not knowing what they were doing.

“Anything your comfortable in baby.” Like gently reassured her watching her nod and turn to walk way before quickly turning make kissing his cheek and flashing him a soft smile before walking away with Luke’s fond eyes on her.

Luke grabbed his bag off the chair in the living room heading up to the guest room that’s his and quickly getting ready throwing on a pair of black baggy jeans, a grey hoodie and a tan and brown flannel over top the hoodie, he ran his hands through his curls and sprayed on the aftershave Cynthia loves on him, before jogging down the stairs and flopping down on the couch scrolling through his phone.

A few minutes later Cynthia walked out in black jeans, a tan hoodie she stole from luke and an oversized black leather jack over the hoodie with black high top converses.

“You look gorgeous.” Luke smiled spinning his girlfriend around gently, making her giggle as she fell into his chest.

“Thank you. You look very handsome.” Cynthia grinned standing on her toes to press a bento kiss to Luke’s cheek, “Come on I’m exicted.” Cynthia started pulling Luke out of her apartment. Luke just smiled happily.

They got to her car and Luke opened the passenger seat for her, she hoped it and Luke out the seatbelt over her, she smiled softly at his actions. Luke closed the door walking around and getting into the drivers seat.

He started the drive his hand was automatically resting on Cynthia’s thigh, she was playing with the ring she got him that he always wear on his thumb.

Luke pulled into a parking lot making Cynthia look up at and saw a carnival, “A Carnival!” Cynthia grinned widely always loving carnivals.

“Thought you would like it.” Luke soflty spoke to his favorite person, Cynthia smiled at him, the bright and beautiful smile that Luke adores.

“Well what are we waiting for!” Cynthia quickly got out of the car, Luke got out walking to her grabbing her hand as they walked to the ticklet booth.

They walked hand and hand into the carnival and started by going on all the rides, Luke and Cynthia both always loving rollercoasters and rides.

They ended up going on everything except the ferris wheel, Luke and Cynthia walked to the food both and grabbed a pretzel and a churro, they sat next to each other at a table, Luke held the churro to Cynthia who took a bite and made a happy noise. Luke took the bite of pretzel Cynthia offered him. The two shared the pretzel and churro before getting up and heading to the games.

“Look how cute that is!” Cynthia smiled thinking the polar bear at the game with a little glasses and a scarf was adorable.

“We’ll play.” Luke handed the money to the worker, the game was getting the bean bag into the tilted basket, Cynthia watched rather than playing. Luke easily won the game the first try and asked for the polar bear.

“For my lady.” Luke dramatically brought the bear from behind his back to in front of Cynthia.

Cynthia giggled at Luke before grabbing the bear and hugging it to her, “Thank you my love.” She pressed a kiss to Luke’s cheek, Luke wrapped an arm around her shoulder as they started to walk again, “I’ll shall name you Junior mint!” Cynthia smiled as she looked at her new stuff animal.

“Junior mint.” Luke fondly chuckled, Cynthia playfully glared at her boyfriend, “Don’t laugh at our child’s name.”

Luke smiled at her, “Alright, Hello Junior Mint.” Luke gently held the polar bears little paw and shook it. Cynthia smiled at her sweet boyfriend.

They got in line for ferris wheel, They sat down into the cart and put the bar down. The ferris wheel started moving them up towards the top.

Cynthia rested her head on his shoulder, Luke wrapped an arm around her.

“Thank you.” Cynthia mumbled to Luke, having the best date she’s had.

“Of course.” Luke kissed her head as they reached the top and saw New Jersey and New York with the sun going down.

December 24, 2023

Christmas, Cynthia’s favorite time of the year and a holiday she’s usually the most busy at work, so it’s been spent the last five years with just Jack, they put a Christmas tree decorating it with silly ornaments they have collected over the past years, On Christmas Eve they bake way to many cookies for just the two of them, make hot cocoa the way their mothers use to do for them during Christmas Eve knowing they would love to be with all their family on Christmas and end up falling asleep cuddled up on the couch watching Christmas movies. The two wake up whenever on Christmas and open the presents their family and friends have sent for them and the ones they got each other before going in their pajamas and getting donuts and coffee and going to eat them on a bench in park close to the water.

Cynthia and Jack have been more excited this Christmas as they finally have another person joining them.

Jack and Luke packed a small bag and grabbed their presents loading up the car before Luke got in the drivers seat and Jack in the passenger before heading to Cynthia’s penthouse.

The drive finished quickly, the brothers quickly grabbing everything and heading up to her penthouse, knocking on the door and it quickly opening it revealing Cynthia who had a pair of red plaid pajama pants that both the boys have on as well, A red knitted sweater and fuzzy red socks.

“Cece!” Jack smiled setting his stuff on the entrance bench before pulling his honorary twin in a tight hug having missed her not been able to see her for a week. He pulled back and platonically kissed her cheek.

Jack watched as Cynthia got a sparkle in her eyes when she looked at Luke and smiled a smile, Jack had never seen. He saw as Luke smiled back with a certain softness behind it, The two hugged tightly but he could see how they both melted in the hug, he saw how Luke hand gently rubbed her back and how Cynthia nose was nuzzled in Luke’s neck and her fingers were on the back of of Luke’s head in his curls. Jack furrowed his eyebrows trying to think if they had always been this way he watched how they gently pulled away but both looking reluctant to do so and how Luke tucked a hair behind her ear and the way his thumb brushed her cheekbone, the smile and blush on Cynthia’s face.

Jack shook his head ignoring that for now, as Cynthia grabbed them both and made them grab their stuff dragging them to the living room that is all decorated that the three did a few weeks ago and the fake Christmas tree Cynthia and Jack had bought years ago and have never wanted to part with it, the stockings that Ellen made and gave them when they moved away and she had made another giving it Luke when he moved to New Jersey.

Luke and Jack set all the presents under the tree with the others one that were already there.

“I’m gonna go out my bag away and then cookies?” Jack looked at the two who gave him nods, he grabbed his backpack and Luke’s walking up the stairs to where the guest room they use are he opened the first door putting the Luke’s bag in his guest room and then headed to the next room and Jack threw his bag on his bed before heading back down the stairs, he paused hearing the loud giggles coming from Cynthia and light chuckles from Luke, Jack quietly walked to the bottom of the stairs, he could see how Luke had his arms around her waist, his chin on her shoulder as he tickled her on her side, but he could see Luke repeatedly kissing her cheek.

And maybe that’s what made it click for Jack, he thought back to all the time their families would tease Luke for his red cheeks and stuttering and now he realizes Luke was that way around Cynthia, the way Luke and Cynthia never said they were like siblings always making it clear the two are best friends. Jack remembered the time they were all at a party and they saw Luke with a girl for the first time and he was to drunk that night to really think about what happened but he could remember Cynthia rushing out of the booth towards the bathroom and coming back a few minutes later with puffy eyes and an a excuse to leave.

Jack looked at the two across the room who were in their own little world and he could see it now, the way the two started at each other like they were the only person in the world, how they relaxed against each other, the touches between the two. Jack couldn’t help but feel hurt that his two favorite people are obviously in love and yet he never noticed and they never told him, if he’s honest he would love for the two to be together.

Jack bumped against the wall making a sound watching the two look at him with red cheeks, he saw Cynthia step away from Luke slightly and the frown that flashed on Lukes face. Jack pushed away the twinge of guilt he felt before heading over to the two as they all start making way too many cookies.

As the cookies were in the oven they started making hot chocolate, Cynthia was crushing up a candy cane for her hot chocolate when she felt something wet go on her nose, she looked up seeing Luke grinning holding a bottle of whip cream, “Luke!” Cynthia exclaimed making Jack look up from where he was dumping way too many sprinkles into his mug seeing his little brother laughing and the dollop of whip cream sitting on Cynthia nose. Jack started laughing at them especially when Cynthia wiped it off her nose and leaned toward smearing it across Luke’s cheek grinning.

Jack saw the two share a look before he felt two splatter’s of whip cream on both of his cheeks and Cynthia and Luke laughing so hard they were leaning against each other. Jack laughed wiping off the whip cream off his cheeks.

The oven beeped and Cynthia grabbed the cookies out setting them on the counter letting them cool. They started making different color frosting to decorate the cookies. Cynthia was decorating her cookies very precisely and making them look amazing, Jack was trying to do the Devils logo but it just looked like a red and black blob and Luke was eating more frosting then putting it on his Cookies.

After they all ate one to many cookies they all go onto Cynthia large couch that comfortably have four people sleep on it, Cynthia covered it with piles of fluffy blankets and pillows for all of them. Cynthia grabbed the middle spot with Luke on left and Jack on her right.

They got through four Christmas movies before someone fell asleep and that was Luke. Luke fell asleep and naturally cuddled into Cynthia side and she didn’t even realize her hand was playing with curls and when she looked down at him she heard Jack.

“How long?” Jack questioned looking at his favorite people seeing them together it made him wonder how he could miss so much.

“What?” Cynthia’s head snapped up looking at Jack in panic before seeing the hurt and sadness in his eyes rather than disapproval and anger, “I wanted to tell you Jack i promise i did, I just every time i tried to tell you all i could think about how protective you are of Luke and i didn’t want to ruin our friendship because i’m in love with your little brother. I tried for years Jack to ignore what i felt for him and pretend it was platonic but i couldn’t anymore, i love Luke and i always have and i always will.” Cynthia feels a weight be lifted off her shoulders as she said the words she been trying to tell Jack for years.

Jack squeezed his eyes trying not to tear up try hearing the pain in his best friends voice, he felt terrible not knowing he was causing them so much pain, He reaches over grabbing her hand, “I’m not mad at you Cece, i’m mad at myself for letting the two of you be apart for so long and i’m sorry i made it think i wouldn’t approve for you to be Luke, Cece there’s no one i would accept more than you for Luke. Look i get that this could end bad and cause damage in some of relationships but it might not either and we can’t live in the what if and be scared of what could happen then try. I trust you and Luke and i want my favorite people to be happy and i’m so sorry that i took me so long to realize that i was making you more miserable.” Jack had tears running down his face as he talked with his best friend, who also had tears on her face as she heard the words she always wanted to hear.

She leaned her forehead forward resting it on Jacks shoulder, “Thank you Jacky.”

“You shouldn’t have to thank me.” Jack squeezed her hand.

December 25, 2023

Luke was the first to wake up and noticed Cynthia and him ended cuddled up next to each other, he brushed a hand through her hair admiring her.

“I can’t believe i never noticed till now.” Jack groggy voice shocked Luke. Jack couldn’t believe he missed all the signs for years.

Luke looked over quickly seeing Jack smiling at him in amusement, “I-“

“Moose, really it’s okay. I talked to Cynthia last night and god i’m so sorry i made you two think it wouldn’t be. I love you both and all i want is for you to be happy, and of course if you find that in each other i could never disprove. You’re my little brother Lukey and i’m sorry i’ve been a shit brother.” Jack smiled grimly realizing just how much he made the two suffer and never realized.

“You’re not a bad brother Jack.” Luke reached over squeezing his arm before grinning, “Maybe just a little obvious.”

Jack and Luke looked at each other before laughing, Cynthia opened her eyes at the sounds of her favorite boys laughing, “Very obvious.”

Jack looked down towards Cynthia who was squinting up at him with a smile, “Wow! I’m getting ganged up on, on Christmas even!”

Luke and Cynthia laughed at Jack dramatics. Cynthia sat up slightly leaning her head on Luke’s shoulder and cuddling into his warmth more feeling his arm go around his shoulder.

“How long have you been together?” Jack looked curious as he looked at the two.

“September.” Luke answered running hand gently back and forth on Cynthia’s back.

Jack gasped looking at Luke, “Wait, you weren’t leaving to go hook up with girls?” Jack having thought all those times Luke left at night was to go hook up with a girl.

Cynthia chuckled, Luke shook his head with a snicker, “Well, i was going to jj’s house.” He smirked watching the realization spread across Jack’s face.

“Ok to much details.” Jack cringed slightly not wanting to think more about that, before he up off the couch grabbing a bunch of presents and gently dropping them on the couch. Luke reached over grabbing one with his name and one for Cynthia leaning back handing it to her.

It was a small box but it matched the wrapping paper of a few others ones, they all came from Quinn. Cynthia opened the present revealing a small jewelry box she opened it seeing a new charm, he picked out the Seattle space needle, where they went a few months ago when she visiting him. She smiled looking down at the charm bracelet on her arm that Quinn gave her when he moved away, it’s not completely filled with charms yet, A hockey stick, A number 43 and 86, A C initial, A paintbrush, A dog, A skyscraper from new york, A diploma, A snowflake, A boat, A wave, A tennis racket, A golf club, A emerald. Cynthia clipped on her new charm that fit perfectly with all the other one.

Cynthia grabbed another present seeing it was from her mother, Cynthia had a feeling of what it is. She smiled ripping it open and seeing a new chalk set for her sketches as she told her mother she had ran out a few weeks ago.

Cynthia saw a present with polkadots and new it was from Ellen, who has always wrapped Cynthia’s presents in polkadot wrapping paper. Cynthia opened the present seeing a custom bucket hat with half of the bucket the devils colors and Luke and Jack numbers and the other side the canuck’s colors and Quinn’s number. She put it on her head.

Jack saw the bucket hat laughing slighty knowing that Cynthia has always has merchandise spilt between all the brothers teams, “That’s perfect.”

“Right, i love it.” Cynthia grinned getting up and scooting the rest the presents to the couch so no one has to has to get up.

Jack who was opening a present Cynthia had got him just started dying laughing, he laughed so hard he fell off the couch.

“What are you doing.” Luke chocked out as Cynthia and him laughed at Jack who was laying on the floor.

“Cece open this.” Jack chuckled reaching over grabbing a present he got her, handing it to Cynthia.

Cynthia opened the present and saw a pair of Nike Dunks and started laughing, Jack started laughing again rolling around on the floor.

“What are you two on.” Luke smiled watching the two cackle.

“Look.” Jack sat up pushing his present over towards the two showing Luke was so funny.

“Omg.” Luke just chuckled shaking his head, because only Cynthia and Jack would buy each other matching shoes by accident.

They all finished opening their presents. Jack headed towards the bathroom leaving Cynthia and Luke cuddled up on the couch. Luke reached over towards the coffee table opening the drawer where he put a small present. He leaned back putting the present in Cynthia’s lap.

Cynthia looked at the present before looking up at Luke, “Lukey you already got me a present.”

“I know. Open it baby.” Luke smiled resting his chin in her shoulder kissing her cheek, watching her open the present gasping slightly as she opened the little box. A silver shaped heart locket with an engraved L on the back side, she opened it seeing two of her favorite photos of them.

Cynthia smiled wildly looking up at Luke, “I love it. Put it on for me?”

“Course Baby.” Luke smiled gently pushing her hair to one side of her neck and putting the necklace around her neck clipping it in the back. Luke leaned down kissing the back of her neck before gently putting her hair back over.

“Alright lovebirds i’m starving hurry up.” Jack walked back in breaking the two apart as they shared a fond look but both got and got slightly ready. Cynthia was in the middle of the two linking both her arms with boys as they headed out of her penthouse and down the elevator. They got outside feeling the slight snow still falling before they continued walking. About ten minutes from her penthouse is Jack and hers favorite donut shop. A donut place they stumbled across one night after they got drunk and were being sad together.

They got to the shop picking out their favorite donuts and coffees before heading towards the park right next to the shop that you could see the water. The three huddled up on a bench together eating their donuts in silence.

The three lasted about an hour in the cold before heading back to Cynthia’s penthouse and cuddling under the warm blankets.

Cynthia quickly fell asleep on Luke, Luke and Jack right behind her.

Cynthia woke up a few hours later seeing the boys still face asleep and decided to grab a blanket and sit out on her balcony. She quietly walked over towards the balcony door grabbing her jacket that was hanging in the hook and quietly opened the balcony sliding door, heading towards the side of her balcony that has the best view of New York. She turned on the electric fire place and cuddled up on the outdoor couch under the blanket.

Luke walked out onto the balcony feeling the chilly breeze, he walked over to the couches and fire pit he knew Cynthia would be sitting at, she was cuddled up with a blanket and the fire pit on high.

Cynthia head snapped up when she heard footsteps, relaxing when she saw it was Luke, she bit her lip holding out a hand to Luke, “Sit with me?” Luke just gently nodded grabbing her hand and cuddling up next to her, getting half the blanket from her, Luke threw an arm over Cynthia’s shoulder pulling her closer to him.

“I’m sorry.” Cynthia apologized, making Luke look down at her confused seeing her fiddle with her rings, She cleared her throat, “I don’t want you think i’m ashamed of you Luke. I’m not, i would never be. I just have always been worried and hesitant to let me feelings for you show because of what it could cause to our relationships with Jack, but i’m a idiot and i was so scared Jack would be upset if he knew i’ve been in love with you since before i even knew what love was but he was upset because i felt like i couldn’t tell him not what i felt for you. Jack actually was pretty happy about the two of us. So i’m sorry Luke, i’m so sorry i made us loose so much time because of my fears.” Cynthia’s were filled with tears as she looked up at him, Luke’s face looked shocked looking down at her.

“You love me.” Luke voice wavered holding back his own tears.

“That’s all you got!” Cynthia let out a wet find laugh, Luke sheepishly shrugged, Cynthia slid up straddling Luke cupping his face with her, “I love you Luke Warren Hughes. I’ve been helpless in love with you for my entire life. I love the way your eyes sparkle when your happy mostly from hockey and the crooked smile you get when your with family, i love the way your so passionate about hockey and the way you work harder than anyone i’ve ever seen to prove to everyone your not just Jack and Quinn’s brother but Luke, i love the way you touch me like your holding your world in your hands, i love the way you can make my whole day better by just a smile, i love the way you know me better than i have ever known my self, i love the way i don’t feel like i have to be someone with you and i can just be me. I love you Luke i always will.” When she finished the both of them had tears down their faces, Luke smiled hearing what’s he’s always dreamed of hearing.

“I love you to Cynthia Jade Brown.” Luke smiled cupping her face in his hands, “I love your eyes and the way the crinkle when your smile is genuine and when you talk about something you love. I love your nose especially when it’s scrunched the way it does when i touch it or i compliment you. I love the way you support me in what ever i choose because you want me to be happy. I love the way you sleep better when i’m sleeping next to you. I love the way your trust me. I love the way my name comes out of your mouth. I love you lips especially when i make you smile. I love the way it feels when you hold me, you make me feel safe and loved and whole. I love the way you love me how i am and don’t try to fix me. I love you Cynthia and i promise i’m going to ever day.” Luke smiled as confessed the feelings he’s had for years. Cynthia smile lite up her face, she giggled leaning forwards pressing her lips desperately to Luke’s who desperately kissed her back, it was passionate but slow, reassuring each other as they poured all their love into the kiss. The two broke apart leaning their foreheads against each other smiles both wide as they looked at each other.

“Merry Christmas my love.” Cynthia smiled a smile reserved only for him brushing his curls from his face.

“Merry Christmas baby.” Luke pressed a long kiss to her cheek.

Luke looked down seeing Cynthia relaxed and content and he would love nothing more that let her stay there but he knew they had plans, “We are going to have to get up soon baby.”

“Already?” Cynthia softly questioned still mindlessly tracing her name over Luke’s arm.

“Yeah Jack left right before i came out here to head over.” Luke replied knowing that Cynthia, Jack and Nico have been alone on most holidays and Jack and Nico have always lived in the same apartment building so Cynthia and Jack have been going over to Nico’s for Christmas evening and they have dinner together.

Cynthia groaned shaking her head, her voice with a slight whine, “Can’t i stay right here?” Cynthia would love nothing more than stay in Luke warm embrace for the rest of her life.

Luke fondly laughed.

THERE WILL NOT BE AN EPILOGUE! THIS IS THE HAPPY ENDING! IT’S STILL SAD BUT THIS IS WHAT WE GET!!

————————

You started to hear quiet voices, and then a really pissed off Quinn. You drowned it out, but you couldn’t drown out the pain that shot through you when Trevor was shaken awake. Everybody was suddenly on guard when you cried out in pain. Trevor slowly sat up and smacked Quinn on the arm, “Look what you did!”

“Sissy, I’m–”

“Not your fault,” you grunted out through twinges of pain. You gripped Trevor’s hand with all your might, trying to breathe through it. Your body felt heavy against the pillows when the pain finally dulled. You took deep breaths to relax as Trevor rubbed circles on your hand with his thumb and ran his fingers through your hair in a calming motion. You nodded at him with your eyes closed when you felt better.

“Go back to sleep if you need, sweet girl,” Trevor whispered. “We’ll still be here when you wake up.”

You opened your eyes to look at Quinn, who looked scared out of his mind.

“Come here,” you told him. Quinn carefully stepped towards you, and once he got close, you could see the tears forming in his eyes. “You didn’t know. It’s okay. I’m okay.”

Trevor relinquished your hand so Quinn could hold it, “You’re awake.”

“Something like that,” you said drowsily. You turned your head to look at everyone else that was in the room, and you were surprised at how many people were actually here. Your mom, dad, Jack, Luke, Cole, Alex, Jamie, and Matty. “Hi.”

There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. No one could believe it. Luke shoved his way through the small crowd to the side where Quinn and Trevor were and sat down on the edge of your bed. You looked at Quinn, and with that one look he knew that your big sister mode was kicking in. He let go of your hand and you reached out to Luke, who gripped on with both of his hands.

“I’m here,” you said softly. “I’m okay. Okay? I’m not leaving you.”

“You–” Luke got too choked up.

“I know, come here,” you said. “Lay your head down on my chest. Trevor did it last night, it doesn’t hurt.”

Luke was taller and lankier than Trevor, but with Trevor and you guiding him, he got settled. You took some deep breaths and told him to feel your heartbeat, just as you did for Trevor.

“See? My heart’s beating now. I’m here. And I’m not going anywhere,” you whispered as you ran your fingers through his curls.

“Promise?” Luke squeaked. He was crying and it broke your heart.

“I promise.”

You couldn’t fight being asleep anymore, and everyone could tell.

“Luke, let’s get off of Sissy so that she can sleep,” Jim said.

You shook your head, “He’s fine. Trevor did it last night. I’m okay.”

And with that, the drugs pulled you under.

– – –

Luke was letting silent tears fall, “Trevor?”

“Yeah, bud?”

“You sure she’s okay?”

“She’s okay,” he assured him.

“Then why do you have an IV again?” Jamie asked him.

Of course Jamie would be the first one to notice. Or the first one to call him out at the very least.

“I uh… they made me step out of the room while they were doing tests and the thing attached to her finger that reads her heartbeat got knocked off. I lost it when I heard the flatline again and couldn’t see her, so I got sedated again,” Trevor explained. “It wasn’t real, it was just…”

“You’re going to be going through this a lot, aren’t you?” Jamie asked him. Trevor sighed and nodded, “Probably.”

Jamie walked over and put his arm around his friend, a simple motion that let Trevor know that that was okay. That they’d get through this together. Not just between everyone, but them specifically. They live together. They’ll be the ones majorly helping Y/N when she’s released from the hospital. Jamie will be the one with him when they have to go on their first away game. Jamie and Trevor will be each other’s rocks.

“You doing alright, Lukey?” Jack asked his brother.

“She’s here,” was all he said.

Quinn patted his back in an attempt to comfort him, “She sure is, Lukey.”

“Mom? Can you go talk to a nurse to get some updates?” Jack asked. She smiled and told the pack of boys that she’d be right back.

The weight of the world fell off everybody’s shoulders. Seeing her awake and hearing her speak was a marvel of a sight. Not a soul in the room could believe it. Not a soul in the room didn’t feel relief.

Ellen came back with a nurse who could update the room on Sissy.

“Everything is looking good for her. Her vitals are great, and we’re keeping her on high, but safe, levels of pain medication. That’s why she’s in and out of consciousness. And all of the medication that affected her from waking up from the anesthesia is out of her system, so she’ll be just fine when it’s time for her shoulder surgery,” she said.

“Woah, woah, woah– next surgery?!” Trevor shouted. “She almost died after your last one and you want to put her under again?!”

Trevor felt like he couldn’t breathe again. He almost lost you to a surgery that was supposed to be no big deal, and they wanted to do it to you again?

“Z, breathe,” Jamie said to him, but Trevor yanked his arm away from his touch.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no,” Trevor repeated. He was slowly backing up against the wall.

“Trevor,” Quinn tried. He wanted to calm him down, but him freaking out was freaking him out, too. Everyone almost lost you. Not just him. “I don’t like the idea either, but she needs this surgery. You don’t want her to be in pain, do you?”

Quin was treating him like a child, but Trevor was looking like he was close to another freak out.

“Z, we can’t sedate you every time you’re feeling like this. You need to learn how to get through this so that you can do it at home. Now, look at me, and breathe with me, okay?”

It took a few tries for Trevor to actually get it together, but he was still crying.

“I don’t want her to be in pain. I love her, but I can’t lose her,” Trevor said.

Quinn nodded and brought him into a hug, “I know. Us, too.”

Since Quinn was able to calm Trevor down, he asked for the IV to be removed since it had drained out anyway. Trevor was exhausted and Ellen told him to go lay down again in the recliner. Luke remained attached to Sissy and was slowly drifting off, too.

“Is anyone not scared about Sissy going in for another surgery?” Jack asked, keeping his voice down for Luke and Trevor.

“I’m trying to focus on the fact that she needs it,” Jamie answered.

The consensus was clear, everyone had at least a sliver of concern for the possibility for things to go wrong. Jim and Ellen remained strong and comforted the boys with the fact that the doctors now know what to use for her so that she wakes up safely and in a reasonable amount of time this round. But even they were worried for the girl that has become their only daughter.

“Remember when we first all played against each other when I was in college?” Quinn piped up, looking for any means to distract himself.

“She wore a shirt that said ‘I just hope both teams have fun!’ How could I forget?” Cole laughed.

“I’m just glad she doesn’t do that now,” Jack said. “Although, for once I’d like her to wear my jersey when we play against the Canucks or Ducks!”

“That’s not going to happen and you know it,” Alex teased him.

“She wears your jersey when we play against you,” Cole offered.

“Yeah, but she wears mine whenever we play against any of you,” Matthew smirked. “Except against Quinn or Trevor. Then it’s theirs.”

“What does she wear when we play against the Canucks?” Jamie asked.

“Z and I have to play air hockey to decide it,” Quinn told them, sending everyone into a fit of laughter. “But she might add you into the mix.”

“She’s something else,” Jamie said.

“You have no idea, Jamie. She’ll get worse,” Jack told him. “But it’ll only make you love her more.”

“Now that, I believe.”

– – –

You woke up to the muffled sounds of your friends talking and laughing. It brought a smile to your face that now that you were awake, your friends could relax a bit. You just hope it sticks.

What is sticking, however, is the dull pain. A dull pain that’s growing. You never tell Luke to let go or to go away if he needs you, but it was too much right now. You felt extra guilty because you were pretty sure that he was still asleep.

“Quintin,” you said. Your voice was strained and so quiet that you weren’t sure that he heard you. You tried again, but when you did the dryness of your throat made you cough, which just added to the pain and you cried out. That got everyone’s attention. “Quintin, I need you to get Luke off me, it’s starting to hurt.”

You were visibly in discomfort, and trying to move was not your friend. Ellen stepped in and eased you while Quinn carefully woke up Luke.

“It really hurts, mom,” you whimpered. She gave you a sad smile and brushed back your hair, “I know, Sissy. It’ll pass. Quinn’s waking him up.”

Luke felt tremendously guilty, and it took you multiple times to assure him that he was completely fine before the pain medications slowly started to wear off. And because you were on such high doses, it wasn’t time for you to safely have another round. So you had to wait.

“Can I get you anything, little mouse?”

You looked over and smiled at Matthew over the nickname, “Water?”

Matthew got up to find you some water, and you looked around the room to try and get a gauge of everyone’s emotions. You were pretty good at reading your friends and family, but the one who stuck out the most to you was Alex.

“Turc? Do you need a moment alone?”

“What?” he asked, caught off guard. “No, I’m fine…I’m–”

“Hey, can I get a second with Alex?” you asked the room. You could tell Alex was embarrassed, but no one else said anything as they left. “Come here.”

Alex got up and moved to the chair that was right next to you. You grabbed his hand and smiled at him in an effort to let him know that it was okay.

“You need another surgery,” he blurted out.

“That’s not all of it and you know it,” you said. You knew him too well.

Alex sighed and bounced his leg, trying to calm down enough to actually tell you what was on his mind.

“Yesterday when you were still in the coma, I couldn’t come talk to you alone. Everyone else did it days before. Yesterday Cole and Matthew did, but I couldn’t. It felt like I would be saying goodbye to you, and I didn’t want to face that,” he admitted.

“So tell me what you would’ve said.”

Alex took a deep breath, “I would’ve told you how much I miss you. And that you mean the world to me and have ever since high school. I would’ve told you that the first time I met you, and I saw how you and Trevor were acting, I knew you were going to be in my life forever because you two are perfect for each other and I knew it before he admitted his feelings to us. I would’ve told you how much I love you. How much I was trying to keep it together but was slowly failing to. And I think I would’ve told you goodbye just in case you flatlined again in the middle of the night and I wouldn’t get a chance to.”

You squeezed his hand when you noticed his tears, “Good thing you get to say hello then.”

“Hello,” he breathed out a small, forced laugh.

“Hi,” you said right back. “You’ll be okay. I’m okay. We’ll all get through this together, alright? And I love you, too.”

– – –

It wasn’t fun hearing what everyone else told you while you were in a coma, but you felt like it needed to be done. Maybe it shouldn’t be your job to help everyone, but you would get the help you’ll need in return. It broke your heart hearing that Luke couldn’t figure out how to be the strong one like everyone was telling him to. It broke your heart hearing that Jack was trying to hold it together for everyone and that he was terrified of having to go back to Jersey before you woke up. How Jamie felt guilty for being one of the reasons you were in the car in the first place. How Quinn was losing his mind and felt so defeated when you squeezed his hand and he learned it was nothing. How Matty was sent here by his coach because he wasn’t playing well. How Cole told you that his life changed forever when you came into it and that his break was hard because he held it in.

Trevor broke your heart the most. It broke you that he was plagued by nightmares when he was only sleeping because he knew you’d want him to. It broke your heart that he went catatonic for a few hours. It broke your heart that he watched your heart flat line. It broke your heart how guilty he felt. You couldn’t bear the thought of your forever getting cut short with him. Trevor almost had to experience that.

You didn’t get much time to be with everyone as a group before a nurse and a doctor came in and asked for everyone but “your emergency contacts” to leave. That meant that only Trevor and your parents could stay in the room.

The doctor began to go over your next surgery with you for your shoulder. It was a shoulder replacement surgery, and you didn’t really pay attention to any of the details. All you knew was that the fractures were bad enough to need it, and that it was scheduled for tomorrow at 1pm.

You just woke up from a roughly two day coma post a surgery and now they wanted to put you under again? And they were just going to hope that if they used different sedatives and started the treatment they used to wake you up immediately it would be okay?

You felt terrified. But you knew everyone else did, too. Probably more than you were, since they were the ones that had to sit idly by while you were unconscious.

You held all your fears in.

For Ellen.

For Jim.

For Jack.

For Cole.

For Alex.

For Matty.

For Jamie.

For Luke.

For Quinn.

For Trevor.

For Trevor. For Trevor. For Trevor.

You could do anything for Trevor, and this will just have to be one of those things.

“Are you okay?” he asked you. He sat on the edge of your bed and held your hand, rubbing circles with his thumb on it. “Do you need a minute before we let everyone else back in?”

You shook your head, “No, I’m alright.”

Trevor eyed you suspiciously, “Don’t lie to me, sweet girl.”

“I’ll be okay, and having everyone in here will help,” you told him. It wasn’t a lie. You will be okay, eventually. And everyone in this small little room will be a lovely distraction. Your surgery isn’t until tomorrow, so all you had to do was make it through the day.

“Sissy, I got someone who wants to talk to you,” Luke said smiling as he came back in.

“Who?” you asked, smiling back. Luke said nothing and just handed you his phone. “Duker!”

“Hey, Sissy, how are you? I’ve been worried sick,” Dylan said.

“I can definitely say I physically haven’t been worse,” you told him.

“That’s the most Y/N answer I’ve ever heard,” he laughed. “Glad the coma didn’t change you!”

“It’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than that to change me,” you assured him. And the rest of the room. And yourself.

Mainly yourself. Lord knows you needed it.

“I’m coming tomorrow, okay? I know you miss me!”

“I really do,” you laughed. “Be good, Duker.”

“I think I can make that promise for once,” he joked.

You were getting tired again after finally being given more pain medication. You made grabby hands towards Quinn and motioned for him to lay next to you like Trevor did before visiting hours started.

“Are you sure this doesn’t hurt?” Quinn asked as he cautiously laid down next to you.

“You’re just next to me, Quintin. I promise you, it’s okay,” you told him.

You kept motioning for him to come closer to you until you could comfortably lay your head against his shoulder.

“You haven’t called me Quintin in a while,” he said low. “Not much since you left middle school.”

“Middle school was hard,” you mumbled sleepily. “This is hard.”

Quinn turned his head and kissed your temple, “Quintin it is.”

– – –

Jamie cautiously stepped towards the bed when he knew that Y/N was asleep. He slowly sat down in the chair closest to the head of her bed, right next to Quinn.

“Can I?” Jamie asked him. He took her hand in his when he nodded yes. “I know I haven’t known her as long–”

“That doesn’t matter to her,” Quinn cut him off. “The day she met you, she called me and said I should be worried about you taking my place as her best friend. Sissy loves you, and she knows that you love her. She doesn’t care that you met what, three months ago? She loves everyone fiercely, and you’ve been deemed lucky enough to make that list.”

Trevor got up and placed his hands on Jamie’s shoulders, squeezing them supportively, “It was her idea to move you in.”

“Really?”

“She probably would’ve moved your stuff out from Lindholm’s with or without your permission,” he laughed.

“I’ve even heard about you from her,” Matthew told Jamie. “You’re here for her. You’re going to be one half of the two people taking care of her most of the time. And trust me, she cares about you. As long as you never wrong her, she’s going to be there for you for life.”

Jamie looked down and tried to hide a smile as he played with her fingers. He didn’t know what it was about her, but the second she met somebody, they loved her. Her charm, her humor, her boldness. Sissy is something special. And when she lets you in, truly lets you in, she makes sure you know you’re loved and that she would drop everything for you if you need her.

She loves being needed.

She loves being wanted.

Not everyone knew that this was killing her. Not everyone knew that her needing help and barely being able to do a thing for anyone else was going to be detrimental for her. But Jamie does. He hasn’t known her long, but he knows her. He knows that he might need to act like he needs her for something, even if he doesn’t, just to make her happy.

Jamie would do it for her. He will do it for her. Because everyone was right, once you know her, she’d drop anything for you, and he intends to do the same thing for her.

“Is she scared, Z?” Cole asked. Trevor pursed his lips. He didn’t want to expose her, but he was a terrible liar.

“She won’t tell me, but I saw the look in her eyes. I could feel her fear. I asked if she needed a moment and she told me that she’s fine and everyone back in the room would be a good distraction, but I know she’s petrified.”

“That’s a big word, Mr. Boston,” Quinn teased him. Trevor rolled his eyes and flicked him, not being able to do anything else since Y/N was laying against his shoulder. “She has you, Z. You’ll get her through it.”

“She has you, too. She has all of us,” Trevor added.

“And we have her,” Luke said. He still looked scared.

Jack threw his arm around his little brother, “And we have her.”

— — —

Today’s the day.

Today’s the day you have to go under for another surgery.

And everyone had the same fear. For some, it was slight. For others it was more than slight, but they know she needs the surgery. But the rest? The fear had taken over their entire being. And who are they? Trevor, Quinn, Jack, Luke, and you. They were internally losing their minds. They felt sick. And every tick of the clock made their chests feel tighter and tighter.

Trevor hasn’t done well with you out of his sight and he knows it’s going to be worse this time. He’s determined to not have to be sedated. He’s going to have away games. He’s going to have roadies. He’s going to have to learn how to cope. He can’t be eased into it. You’re going to be gone for hours, and he’ll have to sit by your bedside and wait for you to wake up again. He knows you’ll wake up, but that quiet voice deep inside his head telling him that you won’t is eating him alive.

Quinn had taken over the “Sissy” role. Jack had practically snapped, Luke was a mess and was dead silent when he wasn’t, Trevor couldn’t breathe half the time, and you need him, too. He’s the oldest. He feels like it’s his job. He’s always stepped up. He’s always been the big brother. He’s always done whatever he can and more for you. There’s just no one helping him.

Jack feels like he’s useless. He can’t do anything for you, and he’s going to have to go back to Jersey eventually. Scratch that— he’s going to have to go back soon and he won’t get to help you. He feels like you don’t need him when you have Quinn. You always need him. He’s your best friend, your better half, you’re everything to each other. You won’t need him when you have Trevor. Your boyfriend, your entire world. The person you live with. The person who needs you just as bad as you need him. The person you’ll get through this with. The person who’ll be there for you the entire time. Hell, you won’t need him when you have Jamie. You love him, and you barely know him. And he’s going to be with you the whole time. He doesn’t have to leave.

Luke could barely wrap his head around it. Everything was going too fast and he could barely keep up. He just got you, his sister, back and in a few hours he was going to have to go back to wondering when you’re going to wake up. He couldn’t hold on to your hand. He couldn’t fall asleep on you. He felt like he couldn’t be vulnerable. Not when everyone else is screaming, too. He just told his best friend that you’re going to be okay. He just told his best friend that he’s okay. One of those is a lie. The other one could be, too, only he doesn’t know that answer, yet.

And you? You don’t know that’s how everyone is feeling, because you can’t think of anything else other than your intense fear of not waking up. You couldn’t escape the cage the thought of dying was putting you in. You need this surgery. You need to get better. You know the doctors are prepared this time. You know that your medication has more or less left your system and that everything should be okay. But you don’t want to see everyone’s faces when you wake up again. Full of shock, almost as if they were seeing a ghost. And you know that a couple days after this surgery, you’ll be released. Which means everyone will have to leave you again. You’ve never had to experience anything this traumatic without your brothers. Never. You didn’t want them to go most of all. You’re beyond grateful that you’ll have Trevor, and Jamie told you he won’t be leaving you, but you need your brothers. Facetimes won’t be enough this time.

You were pulled out from your thought prison by a nurse informing you it was almost time for surgery and that everyone will need to clear out so that they can prep you. Everyone said their goodbyes, some longer than others, and Jack was the last one walking out the door. The heart monitor signaled that panic was taking over you and you felt like you couldn’t breathe.

“Jack!” you screamed. Tears were streaming down your face and your free hand was shaking. “Jack don’t–”

Jack pushed aside the nurse in the room and sat on the edge of your bed and gripped onto your hand.

“Sir–”

“She just needs a minute! Please,” Jack begged her. The nurse saw how close you were to a major freakout before Jack got to your side and left to stand outside the door. Jack took your hand in both of his and squeezed it tight, “It’ll be okay, Sissy. It will be. We all asked the surgeon every question possible. He’s done this surgery countless times.”

“Will you be here when I wake up?” you asked shakily. “Right here. Holding my hand. Not Trevor or Quinn. You.”

Jack smiled and leaned over to kiss your forehead, “In the chair, or on the bed?”

“On the bed,” you answered.

“Then on the bed holding your hand is where I’ll be the second you open your eyes, Sissy,” Jack assured you. “I promise. Now you gotta be strong for us. Don’t fight the lovely nurses and doctors and surgeons that are here to help you. Just breathe, and now I’ll be sitting right here when it’s over.”

The nurses that came to wheel you off to the surgery unit told Jack he could walk with you until you reached the double doors, so he did. He held onto your hand and called out once again that he’ll be right next to you when you wake up when the doors came. You held back your tears. You wanted to be able to tell Jack that you were strong.

– – –

“Where did you go?” Luke asked Jack when he finally joined them in the waiting room.

“Sissy called out for me, so I calmed her down and walked with her to the surgical unit,” he explained. “I don’t know why–”

“She loves and needs you, too, Jack,” Ellen interrupted her son. “Just like everyone else.”

Jack smiled slightly, semi hating the fact that his mom knew exactly how he was feeling.

“She asked me to be sitting on her bed holding her hand when she wakes up,” he said softly, still happy that she wanted him. That she needed him.

“I’m only allowing that because she asked,” Trevor teased him.

“Of course you are, bud,” Jack laughed.

Jack sat down between his brothers and leaned back in his chair. All that there was to do now was wait. Something that was way too familiar to everyone here.

– – –

It was a long surgery, over four hours. But Jack was true to his word and parked himself on the edge of your bed and held your hand as he waited for you to come to. Every minute passed was agonizing. The doctors told everyone that you’d be waking up within an hour but that you’ll be very out of it and might not be awake for long. At the forty-six minute mark, everyone let out a breath.

Your groans caused all ten heads to snap towards you. Jack inched closer to you and used his free hand to pet your hair in the same way he used to do when he had to wake you up for school when you were sleeping through your endless alarms.

“Sissy?” he whispered. “Are you with us? Can you open your eyes for me?”

You tried to pull away from him but felt a surge of pain when you did. Jack worked to settle you back down and looked to Trevor for help.

“I normally kiss her to wake her up,” Trevor told him. “She calls it ‘waking up Disney princess style.’”

“Be my guest,” Jack laughed.

Trevor softly placed his hand to cup your face and bent down to softly kiss you, “Good morning, sweet girl. Can you open those pretty little eyes for me?”

You clenched your eyes once more before opening them up.

“Are you a Prince?” you asked dreamily. Luke had to hide into his mom’s shoulder to keep from laughing out loud.

“Sorry, sweet girl. I’m just your boyfriend,” Trevor replied.

You looked down when you noticed a hand was holding your hand. You followed the hand to the owner, and it was not the man who just told you he’s your boyfriend.

“Then who are you?” you asked the hand holder.

“I’m Jack, your brother. You asked me to sit on your bed and hold your hand for when you woke up,” the hand holder told you.

“I don’t have a brother,” you said, shaking your head.

Jack’s grip on your hand tightened and you could feel his fear.

“You– you don’t?” he asked tentatively. He was worried that the drugs had temporarily taken your mind back to before you moved in. Before you were old enough to know that family doesn’t have to be blood.

“No. I’m a cloud, I can’t have any brothers,” you said seriously.

“But you can have a boyfriend?” your boyfriend asked.

“You’re a cloud, too,” you told him. “You have fluffy cloud hair, Prince.”

“Trevor,” he told you with a soft laugh.

“No,” you shook your head. “I’m pretty sure your name is Prince. Prince of the clouds. And I’m Princess of the clouds.”

“Clouds can have brothers,” Jack insisted. “You have three.”

Jack was starting to make sense. As you looked around the room at everyone else in the room, you saw two familiar faces that matched Jack’s story.

“I do have three!” you gasped. “Quintin, Jacky Boy, and Lukey Moosey!”

Jack lifted your hand and leaned his head against it, shaking his head and laughing, “I’m Jacky Boy, Sissy. Look at me.”

You looked at him again and really focused this time, “Jacky Boy! I missed you!”

“I missed you, too,” he laughed.

You looked around the room and your smile grew exponentially at every person you saw. You couldn’t believe your whole world was here.

“Hi Mom, and Dad, and Coley, and Turcs, and Quintin, and Lukey Moosey, and Jamie Baby, and my rat! Matty! You’re here! You’re never here!”

Matthew moved over to the end of your bed and placed both hands on the edge of it, “I was worried about you, Little Mouse. That’s why we’re all here.”

Quinn came over next to Jack and Trevor, “You got hurt, remember? You just had another surgery.”

“No, Quintin,” you argued. “I’m a cloud. I can’t get hurt.”

“Well then you’re a medical marvel,” he said. “Because you got super hurt. Are you in pain?”

“Quintin, listen! I just told you, I’m a cloud. And Prince is a cloud. And Coley. I don’t know what the rest of you are, but we’re clouds.”

“What type of clouds are we?” Cole asked you.

“You and Prince look sad, so you’re nimbostratus clouds. But me? I’m a cumulus,” you told them, full of confidence.

“Did she just… use scientific cloud names?” Alex asked, laughing in disbelief.

“I think she did,” Luke said.

“We look sad because you’re hurt, Ms. Cumulus Cloud,” Trevor said. “But I’m really glad you don’t feel it.”

“I’m just doing my cloud thing,” you said as you yawned.

“Sleepy?” Ellen asked.

“Yeah, I’m a sleepy cloud,” you nodded. “But Jacky Boy needs to lay next to me so I can nap.”

“And why’s that?” Jack asked.

“You’re holding my hand. You need me. So you need to sleep next to me to fix that,” you said matter-of-factly.

Trevor and Quinn stepped out of the way so that Jack could carefully lay beside you.

“I’ll protect you,” you told him. “I need everyone to give me a kiss goodnight! Do you need any, Jacky?”

“I think I’m alright,” he smiled.

Jack leaned over and kissed your cheek. You smiled and nodded your head side to side in a dance-like motion as you made everyone else kiss your cheeks and forehead goodnight.

“And you, my Prince, need to kiss me on the lips four times,” you told him. “Because we say something to each other with four words. I don’t know what, but I know there’s four words.”

“I–” kiss. “Love–” kiss. “You–” kiss. “Forever.” kiss.

“What do I say?”

“You say ‘I love you, always,’” he smiled at you.

“I love you, always, Prince!”

“I love you, forever, Princess.”

– – –

The second time you woke up, you were much more lucid and aware of the situation. You weren’t in agony, but you weren’t exactly having fun. You lifted your head off of whoever’s shoulder you were laying on and groaned at the brightness of the room.

“Somebody needs to turn off the sun or I’m going to shoot it down myself,” you grunted with your eyes squeezed shut.

You didn’t know who, but someone fixed your problem, and you were able to slowly open your eyes. You looked out to see the window’s curtains were open and that it was actually dark outside.

One new face was in the room, Dylan.

You smiled at him, “Hi, baby boy.”

“I was kind of hoping I could see you shoot down the sun, but seeing you awake works, too, Sissy,” Dylan joked.

“Are you still a cloud, Princess?” Trevor asked you.

You turned your head to look at him, also acknowledging the fact that it was Jack next to you by a simple squeeze of his hand, confused.

“Cloud?”

“You were still out of it when you first woke up,” Trevor laughed. “You called me Prince, and you were hellbent on the fact that you were a cloud and that you couldn’t possibly be injured because of it.”

“Were we… all clouds?”

“I wish,” Quinn joked. “Only Z and Cole were clouds. Nimbostratus, to be exact. Not sure why you remembered the types of clouds.”

“Clouds are fucking cool, that’s why,” you sassed him.

“You’re lucky you’re hurt,” Quinn said in a jokingly warning tone.

“Or what? You’d lightly shove me? I’m so scared,” you teased him back. “You’re just jealous because I didn’t deem you a cloud. Suck it.”

It was nice finally feeling calm for the first time since you woke up. No one was terrified about the upcoming surgery now that it’s happened. No one was worried that you wouldn’t wake up again now that you have. It was almost fun being with everyone, it was just calmer than it normally is when you’re all together.

You shoved Jack aside so that Dylan could lay next to you because “you’ve missed your baby boy.”

“I’m your twin!” Jack protested.

“You’ve been laying with me,” you told him. “I’ve gone without seeing Duker longer and he’s my baby boy bestie brother!”

“I’m her alliteration,” Dylan said, smiling cheekily.

“Yeah, he’s my alliteration,” you copied his grin.

“That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard,” Jack countered.

“You’re just jealous,” Dylan stuck his tongue out at him.

“Alright, alright,” you cut them off. “You’re both my boys, so calm down. You’ve had your turn.”

“Do we all get a turn?” Luke asked jokingly.

“Do we have to reserve times?” Jamie asked, laughing.

“You and Z will get me all season, but the rest of them? Yes. Someone make a list and play rock paper scissors for the order.”

“You’re a mess,” Trevor laughed. “My beautiful mess.”

“Damn right,” you jokingly smirked.

– – –

It wasn’t too long before visiting hours ended and you had to tell everyone goodbye. Trevor now had a bigger blanket for you two in the bed since you’d been cold and he wasted no time crawling in next to you when Quinn (the last one on the list to be next to you) got off the bed.

“Be good!” Quinn called out.

“We physically have to! Otherwise we would not!” you shouted back.

“I didn’t want to know that!”

“You’re welcome! I love you, bubs!”

“I love you, too, Sissy!”

“I’ll never understand you two,” Trevor laughed.

“Quinn and I are something I’ve never seen before. Not even in movies,” you said fondly. “I’m gonna keep it that way.”

“Are we?”

“My love, we’re everything.”

Trevor took your hand and brought it to his lips, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to it. When he dropped it, you tapped four times on your lips. Trevor smiled and repeated what he did when you first woke up.

“I–” kiss. “Love–” kiss. “You–” kiss. “Forever–” kiss.

“I love you, always,” you whispered to him. “How did you do while I was under?”

“Jamie helped a lot. I don’t know why watching The Hunger Games helps, but it does,” Trevor admitted.

“Because it’s my favorite series, obviously,” you smiled.

“No, I think it’s because there’s a lot of Katniss in you,” he told you. “You’d do anything for those you love, especially your brothers. You stick up for what’s right. You’ve been through hell and you’re still surviving. You’re Katniss.”

You blushed and played with his fingers, unsure of what to say to that.

“Does that make you Peeta?”

“I was thinking I’m more like Finnick,” Trevor laughed.

“Well, he was my first love. So, I guess that’s fitting.”

“Your first love?” Trevor teased you. “Am I nothing to you?”

“Hey! Quinn officiated a wedding for me and Finnick!”

“Then I guess he’ll have to officiate ours,” Trevor smiled.

“Trevor Zegras, are you talking about marriage in a hospital?”

“Not right now, but if this experience has taught me anything, it’s that you’re the one.”

“Sap,” you smiled.

You were beat, and surprised that you’d stayed awake for so long with all the pain medication in you. But now that it was only Trevor with you, you felt safe. You felt at peace. You felt at home. You laid your head on his shoulder and let yourself drift off to the sounds of Catching Fire in the background. You weren’t scared to fall asleep tonight. You weren’t scared that something was going to happen to Trevor. For the first time in three days, you felt good.

– – –

At 9:34am, all of your paperwork was finished and you were free to go home. You, Jamie, Trevor, Ellen, and Jim were all given a breakdown of how to take care of you, pain medication times, and other stuff like that. Jim and Ellen would be staying a little longer with you in the beginning before they’ll have to go back home. Trevor and Jamie would be the ones doing it the most after your parents left, and they needed to be fully prepared to teach Dani when she’d come to help you on roadies. Ellen volunteered, but Dani was quite persistent.

You were sent off with some strong sedatives to help with the car ride home. You were glad, too, because even with them you were still in some major discomfort. You couldn’t imagine what it would be like without them.

Everyone was staying one more night before they had to go back to their own teams. You really didn’t want to have to be moved much, so Trevor and Quinn got you situated in yours and Trevor’s room and everyone would be in there until you decided it was time for bed.

First thing first, however, was a nap. The medication had made you so tired and you couldn’t keep your eyes open anymore. You had to lay pillows in between you and Trevor, which was terrible, but you could lay directly next to him while you napped since he would be staying awake. Everyone else went to the living room while Trevor gently held your hand and kissed your forehead to send you off to sleep.

– – –

Quinn didn’t wait too long before slipping back into the bedroom, “How’s she doing?”

“She hasn’t had to have the lower pain medications yet, so she's okay,” Trevor told him. “I’m not excited about that.”

“I’m not excited about leaving her,” Quinn said softly.

“Trust me, she isn’t either.”

The two boys talked quietly for a while to distract themselves from the predicament. Trevor couldn’t imagine what Quinn must be feeling. Trevor gets to stay with you; Quinn doesn’t. That’s been a common feeling throughout all of this.

“You’ll take care of her, right?” Quinn asked Trevor with tears threatening to fall out of his eyes.

“I’ll do everything I can and more for her. Always,” Trevor assured him.

“You better,” Quinn said softly.

All Quinn could do was look at you. Your bruised face looked better, but you still looked so frail and small that it hurt him. He had to make tonight and tomorrow count, but he knew that you’d be sleeping through a lot of it.

“Um… listen, if Luke needs her, she will kick you out of this bed. Same if she needs me or Jack or Luke or–”

“You can sleep next to her until you have to leave,” Trevor cut him off. “I know that’s what you really want. I’ll take the floor.”

You roughly heard the last of their conversation as you were slowly waking up, “Did you say Lukey needs me? Trevor, move your ass for him.”

“See?” Quinn laughed. “He doesn’t need you, but I’m sure he’d love to lay with you. Do you want everyone back in here?”

You sleepily nodded and continuously held your arm out until Luke came in.

“Lukey!” you cheered when he entered the room at the end of the herd of your loved ones. Luke laughed as he crawled into the bed and snuggled up close to you, “Good nap, Sissy?”

“Very,” you said.

“Oh! I want in on cuddles!” Dylan shouted. You laughed even more as he settled next to Luke and laid his head on his shoulder.

“You two are a mess,” you shook your head. “I love it.”

“This gonna be us when everyone leaves, Z?” Jamie joked.

“It better be!” you exclaimed.

Because you’d been in a coma for your weekly movie night with Cole and Alex, you decided that you’d watch the movie with everyone in your room. Blankets and pillows were handed out and people were all around the room. Jack and Jamie brought in the two arm chairs from the living room for Jim and Ellen to sit in, and everyone else was roughing it on the floor.

You sent Matty, Quinn, and Cole to get snacks and drinks for everyone, and Alex set the movie up.

“What movie have you deemed worthy enough to watch that’s not The Hunger Games, girly?”

“Top Gun,” you said with a grin.

“Yes! Finally!” Trevor cheered.

You barely watched the movie. You watched your friends and family instead. This experience is just as hard on them as for you, if not more. They deserve peace. They deserve a moment of calm, a moment of happiness. Before they all had to leave and, undoubtedly, worry.

“You okay?” Luke whispered to you.

“Yeah, I’m okay,” you whispered back.

And for once, you were.

– – –

The goodbyes were hard, because they lasted all day. First Matty left, then Cole, then Dylan and Luke, then Jack, then Alex. Alex could’ve stayed, and he’ll be back frequently, but Quinn leaving last meant a lot to you. It was needed.

“You’ll call every day, right?” you asked him. Your lip was wobbling and you couldn’t stop the tears from falling.

“Every minute that I can. I promise,” Quinn answered. “Be good to Trevor and Jamie.”

“Now that, I can’t promise,” you tried to joke.

Quinn kissed your forehead and squeezed your hand one last time before he left with your parents to go to the airport. You immediately started to sob when the door closed. You couldn’t hold it in any longer. You’d been crying all day as people left, but Quinn made you lose it. Trevor hated it because he couldn’t pull you into his arms and hold you to comfort you. You hated it for the same reason. You had to settle for leaning against his chest with his hand holding your right, and his other petting your hair.

“It’s alright, sweet girl,” Trevor cooed. “He’ll be back soon. We play against the Canucks the first week of November. I know his coach will let him stay here instead of at the hotel. It’s gonna be alright.”

“Say it,” you cried.

“Say what?” he asked, confused. “I love you?”

“No, my name. Say it,” you choked out.

Trevor felt a pang in his heart. This has never happened. You never needed Quinn so much that you wanted Trevor to call you by your nickname.

“It’s gonna be alright, Sissy. I’ll make sure of it,” Trevor said low. “I promise.”

“Do you need anything?” Jamie asked you warily. He’d never seen you cry this hard.

You rapidly shook your head no as you clung to Trevor as much as you could.

“Some ice water,” Trevor said. “With a straw, please.”

Jamie got up and went to the kitchen while Trevor continued to try and sooth you. Jamie was back quick and Trevor gently guided the straw to your mouth.

“Drink for me, sweet girl. That’s all you gotta do.”

The ice always helps. The sudden coldness triggers some slight pain receptors to pull you out of a panicked state, so it was a quick fix when you weren’t too far gone.

“There’s my girl,” Trevor cooed. “It’s okay.”

You calmed down, but some tears were still falling.

“I’m sorry,” you sniffled.

“What for?”

“I need you, too. Not just Quinn. I really need you and I don’t want you to think that I–”

“Woah, woah, woah,” Trevor interrupted. “I know you do. Quinn’s been with you for the hardest parts of your life. You always cry when he leaves. This isn’t any different. I love you, okay? Forever. You needing Quinn isn’t going to change that.”

“I love you, always,” you whispered.

You were worn out and were falling asleep against Trevor’s chest.

“Jamie Baby,” you weakly called out. “Come to bed. It’s nap time.”

Jamie smiled and slowly got into the bed next to Trevor. He leaned over and kissed your forehead, something you once again demanded, before laying against the pillows.

“I love you, Jamie Baby,” you said. “So, so much.”

“I love you, too, Y/N/N,” Jamie said back.

“And I love you, too, Trevy. Always.”

Trevor tilted your head towards him, “I–” kiss. “Love–” kiss. “You–” kiss. “Forever–” kiss.

untouchable - trevor zegras

next part

in which, lola hughes could never date her big brothers best friend. he was untouchable in every sense of the word.

going to the lake house had always been lola’s favourite time of the year. she didn’t think she could love it anymore, that was, until trevor zegras started showing up every year about four years ago.

from the second the girl saw the boy, him being 18 and her 15 at the time, she was completely infatuated.

but over the years, her infatuation began to become tormenting. her brothers had their suspicions. they all knew her like the back of their hands, so, it was completely out of the ordinary when the outgoing girl suddenly became shy and introverted every time the zegras boy was around. they found it amusing, especially since not only would trevor never feel the same (meaning he wasn’t allowed to feel the same) but he was also completely oblivious to the fact.

so, after years of torment, lola knew that this year was going to be no different. in fact, it was probably going to be worse.

her parents had decided to take a summer trip to europe, which meant that the amount of her brothers friends that would be staying at the lake house would be amplified. which meant, she was only going to become more invisible than she already was.

she was the first to arrive that summer, being able to finally drive by herself after the impossible mission which was getting her license. she had gotten frozen yoghurt from the shop just a few mere minutes away from the house and was currently sat at the kitchen table eating it whilst scrolling tiktok aimlessly, awaiting the arrival of her brothers who she hadn’t seen since christmas.

the door opened, announcing the arrival of the first hughes brother, which happened to be luke. and by the sounds of loud laughter, he wasn’t alone.

“lolly!” luke exclaimed when he saw his younger sister sitting by her lonesome. looking up from her phone, she smiled at her brother and the four other boys who were with him. she recognised one as dylan duke, luke’s best friend for like forever, but she wasn’t sure who the others were.

“is that frozen yoghurt?” one of the boys asked. the girl nodded at her head, looking down at the frozen yoghurt that she was finished with before sliding it over to him. the boy thanked her loudly before grabbing the cup and taking the seat next to her. “mark.” the boy introduced himself, mouth full of mango flavoured sorbet. “lola.” the brunette girl smiled back.

“fine, i’ll take your shit upstairs, no worries man.” ethan rolled his eyes at his friend before walking passed the two and up to where all the bedroom were. luke followed, ruffling up his sisters hair as he did so.

“god, ethan has been grumpy the entire trip.” mark complained, offering lola some of her own frozen yoghurt, to which she denied. “he turned off the radio once i started singing along, i took it personally.” dylan told the girl as he sat down on the other side of her.

“and for that, we are eternally grateful.” the last boy smiled sarcastically before also taking his belongings upstairs. “was he also grumpy the entire trip?” lola asked as she watched the boy leave. “no, mackie is in a permanent state of grump.”

lola laughed before the three fell into a comfortable small talk. they asked her questions about college, scrunching up their face when she told them she would be going to boston, they then proceeded to call her a traitor and would seek her out at every hockey game to remind her. they were even more offended when she told them that she had also gotten into michigan, but had still chosen to go to boston.

the front door had opened once more, interrupting the trios new conversation about what they wanted to do that summer.

jack entered, followed by alex and cole. lola jumped from her seat at the sight of the caulfield boy. “coley!” she exclaimed before tackling him in a suffocating hug. jack scoffed from behind the two, hating how his little sister liked his best friend more than him. “rude.”

“sorry jack, you’re so right.” lola smiled at her older brother before turning to alex, also jumping him in a hug. jack only rolled his eyes before travelling over to the fridge and opening it. “there’s no food.”

“go get some then.” lola shot back, crossing her arms when jack looked over at her with an expectant look. “but i don’t know what to get.”

“get food.” lola retorted like it was obvious. “can you go and get it?” he asked. “no, why is that my job?” lola shot back.

and alas, summer had finally began when lola and jack began to argue. the sun beamed hot and the boat swayed calmly in the water at the sound of the two bickering.

jack had stopped arguing, opting to just holding his card out to the girl. cole and alex, who saw this every year, smiled at the refreshing sight. lola eyed the card before snatching it out of his hand. “fine, but i’m buying myself something pretty.”

“we’ll come with you.” dylan spoke from the kitchen counter, mark nodding his head as they both got up from their spot. “thank you, new found friends.”

what was supposed to be a short trip to the grocery store, ended up a thirty minute food run and a two hour target adventure. lola had quickly realised that both mark and dylan were the perfect enablers to all her bad decisions. they had run around target like children without adult supervision until a worker had told them to leave.

coming back to the lake house, there were a few more cars outside and a lot more noise inside. all the boys were huddled in the living room when the three arrived back home, yelling at a tv screen which had a very intense game of mario kart playing on it.

“quinny!” lola exclaimed before jumping on the boy. quinn laughed before moving his sister beside him and wrapping an arm around her. lola loved all her brothers equally, but quinn was very obviously her favourite. “hi lolly.”

“really? i didn’t even get a hug!” jack exclaimed from the other side of the room. “i didn’t even get a hello!” luke countered. lola shrugged nonchalantly before refocusing her attention back to the screen.

“i got next.” trevor told everyone as he walked into the room. lola tensed at the sight of the boy, quinn laughing at her reaction silently. trevor glanced at the girl, his signature smile overtaking his face as he saw her. “what’s up, littlest hughes?”

she hated how he called her that. it reminded her of how he was never going to see her as anything but his best friends little sister. he couldn’t even call her by her name? really?!

“hi, z.” the girls voice was quiet, but just loud enough for everyone paying attention to hear it. those people being her brothers and mark, the estapa boy frowning at her reaction.

“babe!” a high pitched voice rang across the room as a bleached blonde, model type woman walked into the room. at the sight of one of the boys girlfriends, excitement filled lola up at the fact that she might not be the only girl here this summer. she could actually do things she wanted to do now, like get her nails done or tan.

but when trevors head perked up, and he got up from his spot on the floor to make his way over to the unknown girl, all excitement left her body. she watched intently as the two shared words before trevor nodded his head and guided his girlfriend up the stairs by the small of her back.

“whose that?” lola whispered to her older brother, who quickly took his eyes off the game to glance over to the retreating couple. “her names hayley, she’s trevor’s new girlfriend. she’s real nice, i’m sure you’d like her.” but as lola nodded her head stiffly, crossing her arms and sinking into the couch, quinn realised how wrong he was.

later that night, all the boys had retreated outside to play a game of.. well, lola wasn’t sure what it was but they basically just kicked a ball around. she had been playing with them all before jack kicked the ball too hard at her head, causing her to fall on the concrete and bust up her knees. after that, she had opted to sitting on the sidelines and watching.

she had been so caught up at quinn and luke avenging her by pegging the ball so hard at jack that he yelped every time they got their hands on it, that she didn’t even notice the boy approaching her.

“hey, littlest hughes.” she smiled up at the zegras boy, “i brought you a little something.” the boy took a seat beside her before handing her a bag of frozen peas. “stupid jack, always doing something to annoy me.” she said before taking the bag of peas. “thank you.”

she couldn’t help but gaze like a lovesick puppy at the boy, who paid no mind to the way she looked at him as he laughed at her remark.

“you know i’ll always be here to give you frozen peas when jack injures you. happens at least once every summer.”

this was true. jack had a habit of hurting his younger sister every summer, purposefully or accidentally. it didn’t matter, it just always happened somehow. one summer, he had to save her from drowning as she sprained her ankle when jack pushed her into the water. she still remembers how angry quinn was, it makes her laugh to this day. but everytime, trevor always showed up with a bag of frozen peas, whether she was crying in her bedroom or laying hopelessly on the floor of the kitchen.

“at least we got it out of the way this summer.” lola shrugged. “eh, it’ll probably happen again. you’re accident prone.” trevor laughed. lola scoffed loudly before hitting him in the arm repeatedly with the bag of peas. this only enhanced his laughter as the two began to hit each other with the same bag of peas.

“babe,” hayley approached the two, raising an eyebrow at the twos pea fight. lola felt as if she had been caught in the act, but trevor was nonchalant as he looked up at his girlfriend. “the boys want you back.”

trevor nodded as he climbed to his feet, “let me know when those ones melt, i’ll give you a fresh batch.” he winked playfully at the hughes girl before running back to his friends. both hayley and lola watched him leave with similar smiles before the blonde girl took a seat beside lola.

“hi lola.” she greeted. “hi hayley.” lola greeted back, an awkward smile displayed on her face. the two fell into an uncomfortable silence. hayley was the first to break it. “so, how long have you had a crush on trevor?”

out of all the questions she could have asked, this was the one that lola was least expecting. she almsot spit out her glass of water she was sipping on. "e-excuse me?"

hayley laughed at her response, "please, i see the way you look at him. plus, trev told me how you follow him around all summer. i think it's cute, really." lola couldn't tell if she was being genuine or not, which only make her more intimidated by the girl in front of her. "but hey, we've all been there, right?"

now, lola was even more confused. "been where?"

"had a crush on someone would never want us back."

god every word that left the girls mouth made lola's skin crawl. she wanted to punch the girl in the face, but lola also knew she was right.

"i mean, it's not like trevor would ever want you back. he's your brother's best friend and he's with me now."

lola nodded her head along to the girl's words, her mind running a million miles a minute. "i'm glad you understand that. see ya 'round." and with that, hayley was walking over to the group of boys to watch from a closer angle.

she wasn't sure if she should be mad or upset by the girl's words. i mean, everything she had told her she already knew. but she didn't need to be confronted about it. and trevor had told her that she followed him around all summer? that was probably what hurt her the most. she thought her and trevor were hanging out, but he apparently found it more annoying than he let on.

looking over at the group of boys, lola's faced etched in a large frown, she made eye contact with luke. her brother tilted his head in questioning, to which she just shook her head in response. the boy's eyes found hayley, narrowing them at the girl before flipping her off when she wasn't looking. this produced a small laugh from the youngest hughes sister, which allowed luke to return to his game with a content smile.

"hey, i brought you this." lola's eyes snapped over to mark, who was standing over her with a bag of frozen carrots. his eyes fell to the bag of frozen peas in her hand, and his smile dropped. "oh, nevermind."

lola's eyes fleeted over to trevor, who was watching the interaction with a furrowed brow. "these one's are melted anyways, thank you." lola smiled back up at mark, taking the carrots from his hand and placing the peas onto the table.

mark's face lit up as he took a seat next to the younger hughes girl. the two sat in a comfortable silence, watching the game unravelling before them.

"did you want to go get frozen yoghurt?" mark suddenly asked, catching lola off guard as her head snapped over to him. the boy looked nervous, which was so unlike the boy she saw in target today throwing weighted blankets on top of dylan to make him fall over. she smiled shyly at him, nodding her head before standing up and grabbing his hand. both of their faces heated into a red hue, as lola guided him through the house and out the front door to his car.

trevor watched the two leave, a little hurt at the disregard of his frozen peas. it was a hughes summer lake house tradition, and she had broken it for some lousy carrots.

"z! throw the damn ball, bro!" alex exclaimed. trevor rolled his eyes before throwing the ball and turning his attention to jack. "your sister just left hand in hand with that estapa kid."

"who? mark?" luke hadn't meant to eavesdrop in on the conversation, but when he heard both his sister and his best friend being mentioned, he couldn't help himself. trevor nodded his head in response. he knew how protective the three brothers, especially jack, were over their little sister, which is why he brought it up in the first place.

"mark's a cool guy." luke shrugged his shoulders, "and lola can do whatever she wants." this wasn't the reaction trevor was hoping for, but he wasn't sure why he was hoping for the opposite.

"why do you care, anyways?" jack asked, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. sure, he didn't want his sister getting into a relationship, but he would deal with that later. however, he wasn't going to let trevor, the boy he knew lola had liked for years, ruin her fun.

"i don't, man. just thought i would let you know." trevor shrugged, before walking off to find his own girlfriend.

when the boy was finally out of ear sight, jack pulled his phone out of his pocket. "what are you doing?" luke asked his older brother.

"telling lola that she better not be doing anything she shouldn't be."

comforted

December 22, 2023

John was chilling on his couch on one of the rare off days when his phone started buzzing and he picked it up seeing Lucia had texted him and asked if he was home, John frowned in concern because she usually just came over and didn’t ask if he was home but he responded telling her he was home.

Not even five minutes later he heard a soft knock at the door and he got up walking over and opened the door seeing Lucia standing there.

John titled his head looking at her intently and quickly noticing that she was upset, “Hi Lucia.” John softly spoke looking at her in concern.

“Hi.” Lucia mumbled clearing her throat and shuffling on her feet.

John stepped aside letting her step inside his apartment and he gently place a hand on her back guiding her over to his couch.

Lucia sat down on the couch and John sat down close next to her.

“What’s wrong?“ John asked in concern, he doesn’t think he has seen her this upset ever, and if she is upset she usally doesn’t seem that upset unless you knew her small quirks.

“Jack is an asshole.” Lucia grumbled crossing her arms around herself protectively not that she ever felt she needed to protect her self around John.

“What did he do?” John questioned as it was common for the hughes siblings to get into little spats but never fights that lasted long or where either of them were truly upset at each other. John had seen them bicker and two minutes they were laughing together.

Lucia took a deep breath and looked at John hesitant, there is still parts of her that is scared whenever she is vulnerable with someone after everything that happened with Mackie.

“Or you don’t have to tell me anything and we continue watching the next movie?” John put a soft hand on her shoulder giving her a reassuring smile seeing her hesitate and not wanting her to feel like she had to tell him.

Lucia looked up at John and took a deep breath seeing his kind and sweet eyes and knew John was nothing like Mackie.

“The World Juniors started yesterday.” Lucia started saying as she looked down at the couch and fiddled with a fray string on the couch.

John squeezed her shoulder reassuring for her to continue.

“And i just wish i could be there too.” Lucia softly admitted, “Not that i don’t love being here in Jersey, i do. It’s just i miss my friends and i’ve played with most of them for years it’s just weird to not play with them anymore.” Lucia confessed the words she couldn’t get out to tell anyone else but it was easy to tell John.

Lucia looked back up at John and he frowned seeing her eyes looking dull and he didn’t like how they weren’t shining like usual.

John thoughtfully nodded, “And you don’t want them to win gold without you?” John understood immediately why she was so upset.

“Is that selfish?” Lucia softly asked looking at John with vulnerable eyes.

John felt his heart clench seeing how uncertain Lucia looked and felt, “No Lucia it is not selfish.” John sternly reassured her, “You played with the team for years and now they are looking like one of the best teams it’s understandable it’s upsetting.” John reassured her.

John knew she took her place on the US National team seriously and he knew she was the captain last year and she took that very seriously and he may not of known her then but he knew she was gutted when they got bronze with her as Captain.

Lucia nodded her head slowly, she just wanted to one day wear a gold medal around her neck for her National team.

“What did Jack do?” John questioned wondering how Jack made this worse for her.

“I tried to tell him i missed playing with my friends while we watched some of the World Junior game and he just dis guarded my feelings saying i was here now and i-“ Lucia trailed off.

Lucia was use to growing up faster than the people around her and missing out on a lot of things but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt any less.

“You wanted to be comforted.” John nodded and Lucia nodded back just wanting to he comforted by her brother, “And he was trying to say your here now and you can’t change that.” John shook his head at Jack’s foolishness. John knew Jack didn’t mean viciously but Jack is not the best as comforting people.

Lucia did not need a reminder of where she was she just needed to be comforted for what she was missing.

John gently moved his arm to around Lucia’s shoulders and pulled her to him.

Lucia blinked but eventually relaxed in John’s hold and rested her head on his chest closing her eyes listening to his heartbeat.

“If it makes you feel better, i would miss you if you were at worlds.” John softly whispered as he twirled his finger around one of her stray hairs that were falling out of her braided crown.

Lucia chuckled soflty but did nod, it did make her feel better.

If anything John just made her feel better, he made her feel seen not just looked over. No one has ever made her feel the way John does, not even Mackie.

Lucia felt her eyes go wide as she realized the extent of her feelings for John, they weren’t platonic they were romantic.

Lucia took a deep breath trying to not freak out in John’s arms, she hasn’t had many feelings for people in her life mostly only just Mackie and even then those feelings weren’t even close to what John makes here feel.

Lucia has always been scared of romantic feelings she has had for people but for some reason figuring out her feelings for John didn’t scare her if anything it only just comforted her, but maybe that was just John.
