《Hockey Imagines》Jack Eichel ~ BUF

---
"Hey, Jack," I spoke up as soon as I heard the scooter roll up into the kitchen, not looking up due to the fact that I was studying for a really critical exam coming up in one of my tougher courses in college.
"I see that you're still studying for the exam." He pointed towards the stacks of flashcards and the overall messy coffee table that I had been hogging for the past week or so. "You didn't forget about dinner, did you?"
"W-what dinner?" I looked up at him like he had gone wild or something. "I don't remember about any dinner."
"My parents are in town from Boston..." Jack scooted from the kitchen and rolled into the living room, where I currently was located in. "Remember? I told you all about this like a week ago-"
"And I got so distracted by the exam! Oh my god, Jack, I am so sorry..." I shut my textbook closed and wiped my eyes to try to get rid of some of the tiredness from my eyes. Getting up from my seat on the couch, I helped Jack transfer over to the couch and told him to wait for a few minutes while I got ready for when they came over.

The chiming of the doorbell rang throughout the apartment, causing me to turn off the stove for a quick second and go up to the door.
"Mr. and Mrs. Eichel! It's very nice to see you again. How are you?" A smile appeared on my face as I opened the door to reveal Jack's parents standing on the other side.
"We're doing well, Y/N. Thank you for asking. How's college here in Buffalo?" Mrs. Eichel smiled as I made way for them to enter the door. As they entered the apartment, Jack rolled in his scooter into the living room to greet his parents.

"Mom! Dad!" He yelled gleefully as he pedaled closer to where we were all standing. "How was the ride from Beantown to Buffalo?"
"It was the usual, you know? It was long. But, it was worth it." Mr. Eichel patted Jack on the back before pointing at the scooter. "Hockey injury?"
Jack winced at the thought before coming out with the truth and nodded his head. "Yeah, it's a high ankle sprain on my left one. Doctor said that I have to refrain from any physical activity for about 6-8 weeks..."
"And how might have that occurred, Jack?" His mother inquired him as she hung her coat up in the hallway closet adjacent to the door.
"I had a collision in practice and had to be helped off the ice..." Jack looked down at his ankle that was healing nice and slow. "Well, it looks like dinner's about ready. Shall we get eating?"

"Dinner was certainly delicious tonight, Y/N." Mrs. Eichel complimented the dinner, which caused my cheeks to blush beet red.
"Oh, thank you, Mrs. Eichel! I can get my mom to email you the recipe if you'd like?" I forgot to mention the fact that the Eichels and my family were close friends and in fact, our moms are best friends with each other. I grew up with Jack next door and the friendship blossomed into a romance. As cliche as that sounds, it's true.
"That would be lovely. Thank you, Y/N." Mrs. Eichel chuckled to herself as she helped me grab the dessert from the oven. "I'm really glad that you and Jack are dating. You two seem like the perfect match for each other." She whispered and I smiled from ear to ear at her compliment.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Eichel. Thank you and Mr. Eichel for being a part of my childhood and letting me spend time with Jack."
"Oh, don't worry about it. He's basically had a crush on you since you two were 3-years old!"
"Mom! Y/N! Are you done with the gossip session?" I heard Jack yell from the dining room.
"John Robert Eichel, you interrupt one more time, you're not getting any of your favorite dessert!" I shouted back at him and all he grumbled was, "and I love you too, Y/N L/N..."

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)
