practice was easier and more relaxed than usual thanks to the incredible game the team had last night.

"TRAVIS GET OVER HERE." you skate after him, "GIVE ME MY STICK BACK."

"NO COSETTE, NOT UNTIL YOU STOP SLASHING ME IN THE FUCKING SHINS." he yelled back.

soon enough you had caught you to him and tackled him onto the ice and grabbed your stick out of his gloved hand.

"oh if it isn't ms. patrick and mr. konecny together. again." james van riemsdyk said.

"shut up jvr." you mumbled.

"will you guys just date already?" claude giroux begged as he skated past.

"no because i don't feel that way." lies.

you were truly falling for travis. it had been tough this season without your brother nolan playing along side you, but travis quickly settled into his place becoming your bestfriend. he was no nolan, but he definitely was something.

"PRACTICE IS OVER BOYS. HAVE A GOOD DAY. I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW." coach yelled to the team.

you stood up from the ice with travis following you. you took calm strides towards the locker room.

"what are you doing after this cosette?" travis asked as you guys walked into the dressing room.

"well i'm going to hit the gym then go to lunch with nolan." you said.

"sounds fun. need a gym mate?" he smiled.

"i mean if you'd like to." you shrugged.

"i'd love to."

you nodded and settled into your stall to take off your equipment.

"hey rosy, are you going straight to the gym or are you getting a protein shake first?" he asked from across the locker room.

your cheeks immediately began to heat up. they were already pink naturally, but they were going terribly red now.

"travis..." you groaned, embarrassed.

rosy was for your cheeks. your cheeks were just as rosy as nolan's. it was the nickname that was just supposed to be between you and travis because it was slightly humiliating.

"wait did you just call her rosy?" kevin hayes asked.

"yeah he did."

the entire room began to giggle which made you hide your face in your nasty smelling jersey.

you quickly tossed your equipment into your bag and walked out of the dressing room hastily.

your whole body was still warm with embarrassment as you made it to the cafeteria for your protein shake.

"wait cosette, i'm sorry." travis apologized, spinning you around so you are facing him.

"it's fine travis. just slightly embarrassing." you said sarcastically as you pushed off of him of you and continued to walk towards the chefs.

"you know i love your rosy cheeks." travis whispered.

you turned around and looked at him, "you do?"

"of course i do. there's nothing not to love about you." travis confessed.

"what's that supposed to mean?" you asked, with confusion coating your face.

"wow this is way scarier than usual." he sighed, "what i'm trying to say is that i've fallen in love with you."

"oh." you breathed out.

"oh my god. i am so sorry. i- i shouldn't have said that." he rambled on.

"no travis it's fine." you assured.

your words didn't help as he continued to go on and on about being sorry and how he should've shut his mouth.

"TRAVIS KONECNY" you yelled.

that caught his attention as he stopped talking.

"thank you. it was getting annoying." you mumbled near his lips.

you clutched the back of his neck gently as his lips met your's. it was exactly what you thought it would be.

"woah." travis breathed out as your lips left his.

"let's go workout now. shall we?" you nudged his shoulder.

he looked like he was in a daze.

he nodded, "yeah yeah, let's go."

you smirked and pushed him along.

"you know we should do that again sometime." travis suggested.

you pushed him forward once more leading him in the direction of the gym.

"i'll consider it konecny." you rolled your eyes.

"oh please do."
