OKAY in honor of 6/9 I present to you my angst creation. I’ll drop in 3 parts throughout the day bc it’s kinda long and itll build the slow burn. This first part is just ~setting the scene~ but the smut and angst comes in the following parts -🍒
So it’s the beginning of the season and the Pens are hosting a sort of gala in partnership with a hospital in Pittsburgh to raise money for their staff and patients. Because he’s coaching now and is a worldwide legend, they need him to be in attendance and give the keynote speech. Obviously age gap Sid is incredibly excited when he hears about it. Given the kind of guy that he is, maybe he visits the hospital and likes to spend time with the kids there. Or maybe he’s sentimental because that’s where the twins and Cash were born. Either way, when he finds out he can’t wait to tell his lady, especially so he can see her in a beautiful gown.
In my mind reader has some badass job, maybe she’s a human rights lawyer, maybe she’s a surgeon..idk something cool and essentially makes age gap Sid the trophy husband. She’s in the home office, concentrating on the computer when Sid walks in to behind her chair and bends over to wrap his arms around her and kiss her cheek from behind. “Babe.. there’s gonna be a gala” he says in between kisses down her neck. “That’s great babe, but im busy” reader is not sharing his energy at first because retired Sid is soooo domestic but bothers her all the time. He misses having something to consume his identity. “But you know what that means” he grins into the crook of her neck and she mumbles “what” as she scrolls. “We have to get a babysitter and you get to wear a sexy dress” and his arms snake downwards and she squirms. They both look at each other with excitement because damn, they love being parents and their family is perfectly complete now with Cash but boy have they missed getting down and dirty pre Cash and especially pre twins.
So in the coming weeks before the gala Sid spends his spare time (which he has plenty of) getting fitted for the most delicious suit and reader picks out the sexiest slinky black dress to wear. We are talking a one-shoulder, silk, black gown with a very suggestive slit up the leg, of course with red bottomed shoes, red lipstick, and a designer clutch. Reader is a bombshell of course and when the day arrives, she has a glam squad get her ready at home and Sidney is banished to the spare bathroom to shower and get dressed. He’s obviously waiting downstairs for her with a single red rose because he’s age gap Sidney Crosby and he has to spoil his lady and get the mood set, after he drops the kids off to a neighbors/family friend’s house for the evening. When reader descends down the stairs it’s the movie moment: she is serving all the looks tonight and age gap Sid is a starving man. His jaw loosens and eyes widen, he almost drops the rose. “What? Do I look okay?” Reader obviously plays into his reaction because she thinks it’s fake but with Sid, it never is “holy fuck” he mutters under his breath. When she reaches the bottom he grabs her and pushes her against the wall, savoring her for a bit. They make out like teenagers for a sec but as soon as Sid’s hard-on presses into her, she has to push him away because she knows they’ll never get out the door and she can’t wait to hear Sid’s speech tonight.
So Sid drives them in rover and they look like a fuckin movie, with his one hand on the steering wheel and other clasped in her hand in her lap. Every once in a while at a red light he’ll pull her hand over and pepper kisses on it. When they arrive, reader goes to the bar and Sid gets caught up in greeting donors and that’s when the drama starts. Of course the rookies are lined up ready for a drink at their first real event with the team. And some of them are more excited to get drunk than others. There’s one in particular who has had a few too many scotches and is nursing his fourth of the night at the bar when reader walks up. She politely says hi and orders her dirty martini, but rookie has other ideas. He swoops in and immediately introduces himself and grabs her hand and kisses it; Sid notices from across the room immediately and if reader could see him, she’d see that his fists were tightening because he has never liked rookie—he thinks he’s arrogant and doesn’t work hard enough. Sid can’t break away for a few minutes but he watches from afar and by the end of the interaction, he’s fuming…jaw tightening, cursing under his breath. He just has to stand there and watch rookie flirt all over his perfect wife. But the longer that he watches them, the more his anger fuses into a different type of jealousy, because for a second he wonders if reader wishes she was with someone younger, like rookie. But by the time this thought has crossed his mind, his current conversation he was roped into ends and he watches reader lean into rookie and whisper something, with her hand going up to cup his ear so nobody around can hear. And that’s when Sidney breaks, and he storms over to her and so rudely, yet warranted, intercepts their conversation and drags reader away to sit down at their assigned seats/table for dinner. “What the fuck is that” is spits as they walk and he possessively wraps his arm around the small of her back, dangerously far down. His mind is going to the worst—when in reality reader was being sassy and was leaning in to dramatically tell rookie to go fuck himself for trying to flirt with a married woman, nevertheless Crosby’s girl. She doesn’t have time to explain herself because sid cuts her off “I don’t even want to fucking hear it but we’re dealing with this when we get home”
All throughout dinner Sid scowls and is short with his responses. When it’s time to give his speech is stares at reader the whole time, pinning her with his dark eyes and his jaw clenched. He is so beyond pissed about the interaction because he doesn’t fully realize what happened, and he’s emotional thinking about how reader could be with anyone, but especially someone like rookie. Sid drags her out before the event is even over because as soon as he’s sober enough to take her home, he’s going to leave. Reader is buzzed, borderline drunk, and she’s upset because she hasn’t had a chance to explain herself and what happened but sid is so stubborn and isn’t giving her the space to elaborate. It’s silent in the rover for a good few minutes until sid rasps out to break the silence “I don’t want to fucking hear it. But tonight you’re gonna learn that you’re mine, you belong to me, you carry my children, you sleep in my bed, you wear my ring on your finger. Only mine” or something else insanely possessive and slightly toxic. Reader knows that they have an incredibly healthy relationship and is immediately turned on.
Now…cherry anon speaking: I am more of a reader of smut than a writer. But I imagine that as soon as they walk through the door, they’re ripping off each other’s clothes. Like, sid literally rips her beautiful designer gown and she is just in shock but he growls something like “I’ll buy you a 1000 newer, more expensive dresses but you’ll have to earn it” and is frantically pushing her down to her knees and obviously she needs him in her mouth just as much as he needs her mouth on him. They fuck right there in the entry hallway and then on the stairs and then finally in their bedroom. It’s a mixture of sid taking charge and then reader asserting her dominance, she obviously has to take charge once they get to the bedroom and tease him while she rides him. And then he takes her once last time and is saying things irrationally emotional like “he’ll never fuck you like I do, he’ll never give you kids like I do, he’ll never get to cum in you like I do, his cock could never make you feel this good” and that’s when reader truly gets a feel for what Sid is thinking. So after she leads him to the shower and they have passionate shower sex and they’re muttering sweet things to each other and once they’re done, they both feel so much better. They end up snuggled up with each other in bed and reader explains how she was actually telling rookie to fuck off and sid ends up laughing. He also tells her a little bit more about his insecurities and she helps affirm him and is also like “babe… we’ve been together for so many years, we have three perfect kids and you have a massive cock…If I wanted someone else I would’ve already left but why would I when I have YOU’ and he’s such a smiley babe and they fall asleep spooning but not before sid can mutter “Thank GOD the kids aren’t home. We should do this more often”
HOLY SHIT ANON THIS IS PERFECTIONNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
