Something fluff with Teuvo?

Y/N, MR. HOCKEY MAN, AND 3RD WHEEL VIC

i don't know if i like this, so someone please assure me it's good lol. also, requests are closed so please don't send anything in :)

teuvo was laying on the other side of the couch, watching the show on the tv intently. you were half paying attention, half not. when your phone dinged by your side, you picked it up.

you opened the text thread and saw your friend, vic had sent you a tiktok, and when you clicked on the link, you saw it was a tiktok from her account. the text from the video read "pov: your best friend and her boyfriend are the perfect couple and you're always the 3rd wheel"

the first video was a video of you in your living room, a canes game on tv. you were crouched in front of the tv, your phone on the tv as you filmed teuvo's goal.

vic was cracking up behind the camera as you filmed it as if it wasn't a recorded broadcast, "this is recorded, you know." she said.

"just let me do my thing." you brushed her off as you snapped a million pictures of his celly.

the next was a video she had taken, without you knowing, after a home game. the video started with you running off ahead of vic and running towards teuvo, who caught you when you jumped.

she stood a ways back so you could have your moment, but he lifted you off the ground and you were saying something, but she was too far away.

once teuvo had set you back on the ground, vic finally spoke up, "great, now that mom and dad are reunited, can we go home now?"

you both laughed, walking towards her, hands laced together, "yeah, vic, let's go home."

the next video was back in your living room. you were sitting on the couch, crying while vic was filming you and laughing, "stop laughing." you whined.

"i'm sorry." she cracked up, "i just-why are you crying?"

"he's so cute." you cried harder as the camera panned over to your tv where teuvo was doing his post-game media. it wasn't anything special, but it made you cry for some reason.

"y/n..." she laughed.

"stop!"

the next video was of you and teuvo dancing together at a bar. vic was sitting at the table a little ways away from the dance floor. he was spinning you around dramatically and bending you, pretending to drop you.

you laughed, holding onto his neck tighter. he laughed, bending down and kissing you. the camera flipped and vic's deadpan came into view.

the last was a photo of you and teuvo you had posted on your Instagram while on vacation, looking all lovey-dovey. the text over. it said "i love y/n and mr. hockey man, i swear. this is a joke"

again, requests are closed!

[behoright]

It has been a week. All I want is for Teuvo to hold me and cuddle me and whisper sweet things to me. I just need his chest to cry into while he runs my back and run his fingers through my hair. And I want to fall asleep to his heartbeat.

Is that too much to ask?

did we all collectively have the worst week????

Teuvo would definitely run you a bath, get in first and invite you in with open arms. Sit in the quiet, until it gets really dark outside, rubbing your back and washing your hair, giving you all the forehead kisses.

and no, not too much to ask.

11 for the valentine’s prompts with teuvo teräväinen??

"it really sucks, being stood up on valentines day" & "i love you"

contains: angst, single mom!reader (i’m trying something new)

i combined this request with another one!

you didn't know what you were going to do without him. if it weren’t for your son, beckham, and his adoration and obsession with hockey, you probably wouldn’t be in the position that you are right now. standing in your neighbors apartment, telling teuvo all about his allergies and what to do when your son gets tired.

"thanks again, teuvo, i promise i'll be back before it gets too late." giving him a smile, and giving your son a kiss on the cheek you leave the building and head down the stairs, and make your way to the date.

you had originally met him when he moved in a little over a year ago. he was extremely nice, and beckham immediately recognized him from playing for the hurricanes. and from then on, a bond was formed. and teuvo, bless his heart, loved the little boy. he offered to watch him if you needed alone time, if you had to go into work on the weekends, or on days like today, when you had a date.

his heart twinged a little bit, he can't lie. ever since he got to know beckham, he wanted to know the one that created him. teuvo noticed just how much he looked like you. his nose, his eyes, his smile, he got it all from you. though he didn't want to cross any boundaries, he still wanted to find the courage to be the one to take you out on a date next time.

teuvo took the time and made beckham a grilled cheese and watched kids shows with him; he even introduced him to the movie the mighty ducks. teuvo didn't feel like a babysitter, even though that's probably what he was. he thought he got along with him great.

halfway through the movie a knock came at his door. leaving beckham on the couch, eyes glued to the tv, he opens the door to find you. he's shocked, at first. you haven't even been gone an hour and you're already back. "quick date?" he asked, allowing you to walk into his place.

you stayed in the entryway so that you didn't take time away from beckham. you were also on the verge of tears and the last thing you wanted was for your son to see you cry. teuvo noticed your shaky figure, and how you didn't make eye contact with him just yet. "actually, no date at all. he didn't show, and didn't respond to my texts. so yeah, got stood up for the first time."

he frowned, standing across from you as he tried to figure out what to do. does he offer a hug? does he offer you food? he doesn't figure it out in time before you speak again.

"do you, uh, do you mind if i leave him here for a little while longer?" you asked, your voice fragile as you fidget with your fingers and keys in hand. he nods his head, putting his hands in his pocket. "okay, great. i'll be back over in a little while. i think i just need some time to myself, y'know? it sucks being stood up on valentines day."

he sighed, "i understand. take all the time you want, he'll still be here when you are ready." you looked up at him, your glossy eyes meeting his dark ones. smiling up at him you walked across the hall into your own apartment, where you let some tears fall out of your eyes. you couldn't decide if you were sad, or if you were just frustrated.

teuvo walked back to where beckham was on the couch, the same frown on his face. beckham was still watching the tv, a light grin on his face when a joke was made or when someone slipped on the ice. it wasn't long before beckham fell asleep, slumped against one of the throw pillows that was next to him.

teuvo then picked the little boy up, pausing the movie and then tip toeing across the hall to your door. softly knocking he held beckham against his chest, waiting for you to open your doors. when you did you were dressed in fluffy pajamas, a robe that was hugging your figure nicely and hair that you had clipped back. he took it in, how soft you looked. how comfortable and homey you looked. he liked it.

"little dude fell asleep. i figured he would find his real bed more comfortable than my couch." you took beckham from his arms, the little boy slightly waking up from the movements. he looked up, and saw teuvo as you were walking with him against your chest to his room. waving he said "i love you teuvo," causing you both to smile.

when you came back he was still standing in your apartment, wearing the same hoodie and joggers he was a few hours ago. he had a sweet grin on his face, a soft and warm one. "thank you, again, for watching him. he really thinks a lot of you," you mentioned, putting your hands into your pockets of the soft robe.

teuvo shook his head and he felt his cheeks start to turn red slightly. was it always this hard for him to talk to pretty girls? he can't remember, not to sound cocky, though.

"listen, uh," he muttered right before walking out of your place and going back across the hall. "i was thinking and, uh, you didn't deserve to be stood up. nobody does, but you really don't deserve it." he said, his accent getting a little thicker because he was so nervous. you liked it, his accent. "and if you want, i'd love to take you out on a makeup date for it. or just a regular date, whichever you prefer."

by now, his cheeks and the curve of his ears are as red as the jersey he wears on the ice. he stands a little taller now and he's giving you that same warm grin that he always does. you grin back at him, playing with your hands again. "i'd love that, yeah. i'd love to go out with you, teuvo."

he chuckles and smiles with his teeth now, turning around and feeling a little awkward now. the hard part was over, but what does he do after that?

"how does this weekend look for you?" he asked, knowing that he would have the weekend off ahead of time.

"the weekend is good for me. i'll let you know tomorrow what time, yeah?" you clarified, stepping closer to him. so close that you could smell the faint scent of his cologne and popcorn, something he must have shared with beckham at some point.

"sounds good, y/n."

you said your goodbyes and closed the door. a grin fell on your lips as you bit your lip, feeling butterflies in your stomach. real butterflies, it was a genuine excitement floating around inside. and you were about to act on it with a glass of wine before a light voice interrupted you and said, "mommy, what's a date?"

Taking Shots - Teuvo Teräväinen

Okay, I'm still not really sure how I feel about this but I'm going to share it anyways. If you like it let me know, if you think it sucks also let me know. Word count: 991 Warnings: Drinking, alcohol, minor mention on punching someone. Please excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes.

I was drunk.

Full-on intoxicated.

I felt myself sway as I pushed off the bar to turn around and head back over towards our table. Just how many shots had I taken tonight? It was the first time the whole team and their partners had been able to go out since the covid bubble. So obviously some of us were letting a little lose and enjoying the outing.

“Where are you going? I just ordered us more shots!” screamed Andrei over the loud music.

“No more, Drei, I have already had too many” I groaned as I put a hand to my temple, already starting to get a headache.

“I’m gonna go find T” I yelled back at him as I pushed off from the bar. I stumbled slightly as I went to walk away but somehow managed to catch my balance. I had to give myself props for wearing my converse, heels would have been disastrous.

“Let me help you” Andrei yelled into my ear as he threw his arm around my shoulders. The 6’2 winger might have been the main reason I was this drunk but I appreciated his help in making sure I didn’t fall over. Slipping my arm around his waist I let him guide me to the table the rest of our party were standing around.

My smile got wider the closer, I could see Teuvo sitting right where I left him nearly an hour and ruffly 12 shots ago. I already felt slightly more sober as I pictured the hug that was waiting for me as soon as I was within arms length of my beautiful boyfriend. No matter what was wrong, I always immediately felt better the moment his arms were around me.

As we neared the rest of our party I noticed a bunch of people standing around that I didn’t recognize. I felt Andrei groan beside me, looking up at him I asked, “What? Who are they?”

“Just some annoying fans, if you can even call them that.” he muttered.

“What do you mean by that?” I questioned him.

“They spend the whole time shitting on our play and telling us what we did wrong and how we can be better, but they can be very rude about it”

I knew they must be bad if Andrei didn’t like to talk with them. The winger loved speaking with any fan, no matter the time or place. Connecting with the Caniacs was, I think, one of his favorite parts of being a Hurricane.

As we walked up to the group Andrei immediately lead me right to Teuvo who opened his arms and embraced me just as I knew he would. I nuzzled my head into his neck and wrapped my arms around his waist. A content sigh fell from my lips as he kissed the top of my head and gave me a gentle squeeze. He didn’t say anything as he was talking with the man standing beside him. Well, he was more listening than speaking, and I noticed his body felt tenser than he normally did in public settings.

I looked up at gave him a questioning glance, he just slightly shook his head and gave me a half-smile. Something was definitely bothering him. I tried to get the pounding in my head to stop so I could hear what the man was saying.

“You have what, two years left on your contract? Best be careful buddy, if you don’t start playing better coach is going to bench you for that rookie!” the man laughed as he clapped Teuvo on the shoulder.

Before my brain even registered what I was going, I had ripped myself out of Teuvos hold and whirled on the man next to him. “The fuck did you just say?” I must have yelled pretty loud, the rest of our party and the unwanted guests all stopped and turned to see what was happening.

“Why don’t you say that again, buddy.” I drawled out. Next thing I knew Teuvo was grabbing me by the elbow I had raised like I was going to punch the man in the face.

“Baby, look at me,” Teuvo said as he spun me around to face him again, placing his hands on either side of my face.

“Hey pretty girl, it’s okay.”

“It is not okay, he was mean to you” I pouted. “Let me take a shot at him.”

“Nah, I wouldn’t want you to mess up that pretty hand on his ugly face,” Teuvo chuckled as he placed a kiss on my forehead and drew me back into his arms. One of the boys must have called security over as they were leading all the ‘fans’ away from the table.

I pulled my face away from his chest far enough to look him in the face, “You do know he is wrong, right?”

“Yeah baby, I know,” he said as he smiled.

“Good,” I said as I laid my head back on his chest. “I love Jarvy but there is no way he could ever replace you.” I yawned.

“Come on tiger, let’s get you home,” Teuvo said goodbye to our friends as I blissfully paid no mind to them and let myself just be content in his arms.

I must have fallen asleep, the next thing I knew I was curled up in bed in my favorite pajama shirt, all the makeup had been taken off my face. I smiled as I felt the bed dip beside me as Teuvo crawled in and threw an arm over me so I could curl up into his chest.

“You know I will always stand up for you right?” I mumbled into his chest.

“Yeah baby, I know” he whispered back as he settled the blanket around us.

Before I knew it I was fast asleep and peacefully dreaming of all the goals Teuvo was going to score to prove that asshole wrong.

Papa Teuvo - Teuvo Teravainen x Reader (Requested)

Here it is! I hope you like it! :) 

           You laid in the hospital bed waiting for the nurses to bring your newborn son to you. Your fiancé Teuvo stood next to your bed holding your hand in his. You had just gone through four hours of labor before giving birth to your son. Teuvo kissed your forehead gently and kept telling you how proud he was of you. The nurse walked in holding your son wrapped in a blue blanket.

           “Here’s your son. He’s healthy and ready to go home when you are.” She said, handing you your little bundle of joy.

           You held your baby gently and smiled, resting him against your chest. “Hi baby. I’m your mommy.” You said to him.

           Teuvo smiled and rubbed the baby’s cheek gently. “I’m daddy.” He said softly.

           The nurse smiled. “We need a name for his records.” She said.

           You looked at Teuvo and nodded to him, smiling. “His name is Henri James Teravainen.” You said.

           The nurse wrote the name down and smiled. “Well congratulations on little Henri.”

 After you and Teuvo sat with Henri for a little while, you got changed and got ready to go home. Teuvo got Henri in his car seat and helped you into the backseat next to Henri. He got in the driver’s seat and drove you all back home. You carried the car seat into the house and sat on the couch to feed Henri. Teuvo got your bag inside and made sure that you were comfortable.

           “Do you need anything, love?” he asked.

           You smiled and finished feeding Henri. “I’ve got everything I need right here.” You said.

           Teuvo sat next to you and smiled. “Can I hold him?” he asked.

           “Of course.” You said and handed Henri to Teuvo gently.

           He held Henri close to his chest and smiled down at him. “Hi Henri.” He said softly and kissed his head. “Daddy loves you so much.” He said softly.

           You smiled and kissed Teuvo’s shoulder gently. “I’m gonna go take a shower, are you okay with him for a little while?”

           Teuvo smiled and nodded. “Yeah, we’ll be okay.” He said.

           “Okay.” You smiled and kissed Henri’s head. “I’ll be back babies.” You smiled, walking upstairs.

 You got your comfy clothes off and got into the shower to clean the sweat off of you. When you finished, you got one of Teuvo’s shirts on and slid some pajama shorts on. You walked downstairs and couldn’t find Teuvo or Henri. You heard some muffled talking coming from Teuvo’s “man cave” downstairs, so you headed down there. You found Teuvo walking around the room with Henri in his arms.

           “These are all of the jerseys I’ve had over the years.” He spoke softly. “There’s my first goal puck. I hit my first goal in the NHL with that very puck.”

           You smiled and leaned against the doorway while Teuvo gave Henri the rest of the tour.

           “There’s daddy with the Stanley Cup.” Teuvo smiled. “As soon as you can walk, we’re going to teach you how to skate. Then you’ll be able to hold the cup when you win. Of course that’ll be in quite a few years.” Teuvo said. Henri made some cooing noises and nuzzled into Teuvo’s chest, causing him to smile. “Yeah you like the sound of that huh?”

           You smiled and walked over. “As long as he’s safe.” You said. “I see how it gets out on the ice.”

           Teuvo looked up and smiled. “I know you do. He’ll be tough. I bet before he can walk he’ll be getting into it with Shawzy.” He joked.

           You smiled and let out a giggle at that image. “Maybe so.” You said and looked at Henri. “I know that every mom says this, but you really are perfect.” You said softly.

           Teuvo smiled and nodded. “He is.” He said. “I think he’s getting sleepy, he can barely keep his little eyes open.” He said.

           You smiled and nodded. “Well I’ll take him upstairs for a nap.” You said.

           “I can take him.” Teuvo smiled.

 You walked with him upstairs and watched as Teuvo laid Henri in his crib. You walked over and rubbed Teuvo’s back gently as he made sure Henri was comfortable. You leaned down over Henri and kissed his head gently.

           “Goodnight sweetheart. Mommy and Daddy love you so much.” You said softly.

           Henri nuzzled against your hand and began to nod off.

           Teuvo smiled and rubbed Henri’s cheek gently with the back of his index finger. “Sweet dreams.” He said softly.

 The two of you got the baby monitor and went downstairs to let Henri sleep. You both sat on the couch and Teuvo watched the monitor intently, asking you if Henri was okay every time he moved. You couldn’t help but smile at Teuvo’s new daddy mode. You could tell that he loved Henri with everything in him.

           “Babe?” you said softly.

           “Yes?” he said and looked at you, having a hard time looking away from the monitor.

           “Henri is just fine.” You smiled.

           He smirked and nodded. “I know, I’m just making sure that he’s alright.” He said, putting his arm around you.

           You snuggled into his chest and smiled. “You’re an amazing father already, you know that?”

           He smiled and kissed you gently. “Thank you. You’re a wonderful mother.” He said, pushing your hair back gently. “I love you and baby Henri so much.”

           “I love you both too.” You smiled.

 You rested your head on his chest and dozed off, tired from the past twenty-four hours. Teuvo let you nap as he continued to watch Henri through the monitor. He let out a content sigh knowing he was home with his family. Even if it was small, he knew he had the perfect family.

[behoright]

I feel like we saw a never before seen side of Teuvo tonight. Usually, he’s the first off the ice after the storm surge. It confirms a lot of things I thought about him. But him being so soft with the kids had my hormones in overdrive.

well no one asked for this but…..

- the canes have some cute cute kids

- he invites you to come watch them practice w them

- afterwards he sees you shoot the shit and chase the kids around the rink and

- something happens to this man

- it takes him by surprise

- but he like…….MELTS

- his heart is FLUTTERING seeing you laugh and get tackled by a small hoard of children

- but even as he’s getting ready he’s so heart eyes

- he can’t stop thinking about you like that

- makes him a lil horny tbh but argh he won’t think abt it not now

- during the game aaaaaahhhh hat trick for him and he secretly thinks it’s bc

Congrats on reaching 2.5k!! From your dialogue prompt list, could you please write number 6 for teuvo teräväinen? 💛

SPECIAL DAY

thank you bestie! appreciate it <3

6. "i promised to love you forever." (from this prompt list, fluff)

normally, when you woke up, you would groan and fall back asleep. but this morning, everything was different. and there was a reason why.

you felt teuvo's arm around your waist so you turned around, carefully caressing his cheek with your knuckle. he moved but didn't open his eyes or show any sign that he was awake.

"oh, come on, tt. wake up." you shook him a little, and that got him. he opened his eyes and a smile instantly found its way onto his face.

"good morning." he leaned over and peppered your face with kisses.

"oh, maybe we should have anniversaries every day. then you'll have to wake me up like that every day." you joked.

"you're saying i don't love on you enough?"

"yeah, that's it." you rolled your eyes.

"well, i'm not fulfilling my husbandly duties. how awful of me." he then leaned over and continued to pepper kisses across your face and neck.

"teuvo, stop." you laughed, trying to push him away, "i want breakfast." you interrupted, knowing food would get him to stop.

he paused and thought about it, "breakfast sounds nice." he nodded.

"yeah, let's go." he got out of bed and immediately started getting ready. you laughed, following after him at a slower pace.

you found yourselves at your favorite cafe, drinking fancy drinks and enjoying fancy crepes. you were cutting into your crepe when you felt him stare at you.

"why're you looking at me like that?" you laughed.

"can you believe we've been married for a year?"

"i don't know, it sometimes feels like it's been more than that." you sighed.

teuvo's jaw dropped in mock offense, "i'm trying to be sentimental, and you're bullying me."

"i'm kidding, you know i am." you nudged him with your foot under the table, "the best year of my life."

"mine too." he hummed happily.

"and i know i don't always express my love as openly as you do, but i really do love you and appreciate you." you smiled.

he smiled, "i promised to love you forever. and that's a promise i'm going to keep."

you felt your face warm up, "all right, let's stop with the gushy stuff." teuvo straightened his spine. he knew you weren't good at expressing your feelings or receiving compliments, so he decided to move along.

"i have everything planned out for today." he stated, "we're going to see a movie. i've booked the tickets and we're going. then after that, we can go to that bookstore you've been talking about, then i have dinner reservations to your favorite restaurant."

"wow, you really thought of everything didn't you?"

"of course." he nodded with a smile, "today's special."

#12. "hey, just look at me. breathe." for my beautiful boy teuvo <3

TEUVO TERAVAINEN'S SKATING SCHOOL

#12. "hey, just look at me. breathe." (from this prompt list)

the one thing you disclosed to teuvo when you first started dating was you had no idea how to skate.

oh, the irony.

"i don't think i can do this." you told him as you pulled up to the rink, "i'm gonna fall, and it's not gonna be fun anymore."

"hey, hey, just look at me." he grasped your chin in-between his two fingers, "breathe," he told you.

he watched you inhale and exhale a few times before he turned off the car and made his way over to your side, "you're gonna be fine. you're gonna be skating circles around me in no time, and before you know it, you'll be out-skating sepe."

"i don't know about that," you muttered, looping your arm through his and making your way into the arena.

teuvo helped you get your skates on and made sure they were secured on your feet before he helped you up and walked you over to the ice rink.

he stepped onto the ice first, before turning around and holding out his hands, "i got you. promise." he told you.

you gave him an apprehensive face, before taking his hands and placing one foot on the ice, then the other. you slipped little at first, but he was there to wrap his arms around you and catch you before you could fall.

"see?" he smiled, "i got you. you got this." he unwrapped his arms, but held onto your hands, skating backward and leading you around.

you glided around with him, your hands gripping his so tightly they were yellow, not that he minded, "you're doing perfectly." he encouraged.

"well, i had a pretty good teacher." you beamed.

T. Teräväinen - The Little Moments

Hi guys! This is my first ever fanfic. I have always been a reader and never a writer BUT I am use any excuse I can find to not do my homework right now. So this probably sucks but I am posting it anyways. Let me know if you love it or if you hate it lol

Word count - 440

Warnings - None

I was sitting at the kitchen island when I heard my favorite series of sounds. The click of the lock in the front door as it was opened, keys being hung on the rack, and the clunk of Teuvo’s equipment bag hitting the floor.

I was sitting at the kitchen island when I heard my favorite series of sounds. The click of the lock in the front door as it was opened, keys being hung on the rack, and the clunk of Teuvo’s equipment bag hitting the floor.

I smiled to myself as I felt his arms wrap around my waist and tucking his chin onto my shoulder.

“Hey baby, how was practice?” I asked gently as I placed my arms over his. Teuvo, let out a giant sigh as he turned his head ,nuzzling his face into my neck.

“Do you wanna talk about it?”

“Not really” he mumbled into my neck.

I turned in his arms and pressed myself into his chest, wrapping my arms tightly around him. I lightly ran my hands up and down his back trying to sooth him.

“DO you want to cuddle on the couch and watch netflix with me for a little while? Maybe it will help take your mind off it for a little bit.” I spoke into his chest. Teuvo loved hockey more than anything, but just like anyone else who loved their job, some days were just harder than others.

“That sounds really nice.” he sighed. I pulled myself from his chest and slid my hands up to cup his face. Finally getting a good look at him, the tiredness evident in his eyes. Training for the upcoming playoff season had started and while rewarding, the exhaustion was starting to show on his beautiful face.

Teuvo stepped back and grabbed my hands, helping me from my chair. He started walking backwards towards the living room, pulling me along with him. A slight smile made it onto his lips, “Can we watch that baking show you like?” I chuckled and nodded my head. He swore up and down he hated my baking shows, but we both knew it was a lie.

I grabbed a couple blankets from the back of the chair and settled into the touch while Tuevo grabbed the remote. Starting the episode we had left off on a couple days ago, he made himself comfortable, laying on the couch beside me and putting his head in my lap. My hand made its way into his hair, playing with it idly, getting lost in the show and the comforting feeling of being close to him.

Before I knew it, Teuvo was making small little snores as he slept peacefully in my lap. I smiled down at him, love feeling like it would burst from my chest at the sight. These were the little moments that made everything worth it in the end.
