"y/n!"

you heard your name be called. you scurried excitedly up to the counter to see that your order was not there. you became frustrated. you were already having a terrible day and someone had now taken your order.

"hey i think i picked up your coffee by accident." a masculine voice said apologetically.

you turned around aggressively, but as soon as you saw the person holding your coffee your eyes lightened.

brown hair, brown eyes, sharp jawline. he could quite possibly be something straight out of your imagination. maybe you were hallucinating.

you blinked a few times. nope, he was still there.

"sorry i didn't look at the name. we have the same order." he smiled, holding out the coffee.

"oh no it's fine." you insisted, grabbing the drink out of his hands.

"are you sure?"

you nodded, "yeah it's totally fine."

"okay." he calmed down, "that's funny that we have the same order." he smiled.

you chuckled, "it really is. vanilla cold brew with almond milk is amazing."

he nodded.

he became nervous suddenly, "hey do you um want to come sit next to me? it's okay if you don't want to i just wanted to ask."

"i'd love to cold brew buddy."

he became less tense and let that pretty smile shine.

"my name is john by the way." he said as you guys found a table to sit at.

"y/n." you responded back.

you and john were surprisingly very similar other than the fact you guys had the same coffee order. he was funny. he was nice. he was handsome.

you were sad when you had to leave. even though you had just met john, he was already bestfriend material.

"here's my number. use it." you said to john as you left the coffee place.

"i will. trust me." he clutched the paper in his hand.

sure enough, he did and you guys had been going on many lunches and having many sleepovers. he had really become your best guy friend, but you suspected that all the time you were spending with him was making you fall for him. it was hard not to.

johnny 😚 wants to facetime

you quickly accepted the call and john's face appeared on the screen.

"hellooo" he sung.

"hi john."

"i called to ask if you wanted to come to my game tonight. you can meet and sit up with all the WAGS. it would be fun." he suggested.

"yeah that sounds great. i would love to watch you play. i'm certainly not a wife or a girlfriend though."

you heard john mumble something, but you couldn't quite make out what he was saying.

"huh?"

"oh nothing. i'll call in and all you have to do is go by the offices and they'll have your tickets. please get there a little early so if anything goes wrong you can call me." john spoke.

you smiled and nodded, "okay. thank you johnny."

"no problem. i cant wait to see you y/n/n."

"i can't wait to see you either."

"JOHN COME ON!" you heard someone call from the background.

"ILL BE THERE IN ONE SECOND." john yelled back.

"sorry y/n. gotta go. love you. bye."

"love you too john. see you later." you waved.

he hung up with a smile.

you had arrived at the PPG Paints Arena early like john had requested. you marched your way to the offices and said your name. there were no issues and you were handed your tickets and a locker room pass for after the game.

your ticket was a box ticket and just like john said the seat was up by all the wives and girlfriends.

you walked into the box very timidly. everyone was talking to everyone and you felt very uncomfortable.

"oh hey. are you y/n?" a blonde woman asked you.

"yeah." you smiled.

"john told us you'd be coming we were all very excited to see john's girlfriend. i'm pretty new too." she said, "i'm christina, patrick marleau's wife."

"well apparently you already know my name, but i'm y/n. i'm not john's girlfriend though. we're just friends." you said politely.

"that's what everyone says." she smirked, "patrick says his face lights up when your name comes up on his phone."

you shook your head and blushed.

"come on i'll introduce you to the rest of the girls." she said.

christina did introduce you to the rest of the WAGS and all of you seemed to get along well very quickly. when the game started everyone was rooting for everyone.

every time john got on the ice, the WAGS would laugh and join in on how loud you'd cheer. that's what made it all the better when john took a slapshot from the point and it ended up in the back of the net. the whole box was shaking with happiness as all of you jumped up and down.

the pens ended up winning the game 5-2. all of the girls walked down to the dressing rooms together as each of them exchanged your number with one another. you were now added into the pens WAGS group chat without being a wife or girlfriend. truly an honor.

you waited with your leg bobbing. you wanted to hug john so bad and tell him that you were proud of him. soon enough he came out with damp hair from the shower and his suit back on.

you ran over and enveloped him into the biggest hug ever.

"i am so proud of you john marino."

"i saw you guys having fun up there." he laughed, "you were too busy jumping around to see me point up at you. so i'll tell you now, that goal was for you y/n/n."

you looked up and deep into his eyes.

you were speechless. the goal was for you. you couldn't shake that off. it was the most euphoric feeling ever.

you didn't know what to do so you kissed him. he didn't kiss back at first but eventually he did and it was wonderful. he wasn't overly aggressive and sloppy.

"thank you john." you breathed out.

"no thank you. i love you so much."

"i love you too." you blushed which made him blush.

"will you be my girlfriend beautiful?" he asked.

"you don't even need to ask."
