acting had been your passion since you were young. you met jack while you were filming a movie in michigan a few years back and hadn't looked back since. you knew from the moment you met him that he was the one, and he did too.

you were all he wanted and more. with you travelling all the time and him doing the same for his hockey, somehow it worked. long distance was mostly all you knew and for the most part, you were okay with it because it was better than not being with him at all.

sure, you ached to hold him at night and comfort him after a bad game but you knew the time would come, whenever that may be.

today was one of the few times both your schedules worked out in your favour. the devils were playing against the kings tomorrow and you had a movie premier tonight. he was coming to town this morning and boy, was he excited to see you.

you were lucky that there weren't a ton of paparazzi swarming you when you got to the airport. you knew they'd be here soon so you were hoping jack would come outside quickly so you could leave.

as if he read your thoughts, he walked out of the airport alongside ty within a matter of moments. you perched your sunglasses atop your head to get a better look at him, smiling when you realized he didn't notice you were there.

"jack!"

you laughed as he began whipping his head back and forth, trying to find out where the sound came from. it wasn't until ty placed his hands on your boyfriend's shoulders and spun him around that he finally saw you.

"oh my god!"

it was like a scene from a movie, which was kind of ironic. the rest of the team stood in shock as they saw you, some of their mouthes agape. they watched their teammate drop his bags and run to you with open arms. perhaps they were shocked to see you, y/n y/l/n, with jack hughes. how had they been so oblivious? you guys weren't a secret.

jack reached you and lifted you up, holding you close as you giggled and wrapped your arms around his neck.

"jackjack," you smiled, tears brimming in your eyes.

"god, i missed you so much," he sniffled and you realized he was already crying.

"awe, bub. don't cry," you tried to soothe after he placed you onto your feet.

"you're crying too," he pointed out after cupping your face in his hands and holding you in front of him.

you hadn't felt the silent tears streaming down your cheeks. leaping back onto him, he stumbled backward a bit before wrapping his arms around you once more.

"i can't believe you're here."

"i can't believe you came to pick me up—"

a bright flash made him halt and he pulled away to see what it was. after seeing jack, you'd completely forgotten that you were supposed to leave before the paparazzi came.

"shit, i'm sorry baby," you apologized after he winced and covered his eyes.

"it's okay, let's just get going—"

"your bags, mr. hughes," ty cut him off as he brought jack's suitcase and backpack.

"thanks man— this is y/n, by the way. i'll introduce you guys another time," jack spoke through squinted eyes.

"jack, we already know each other."

"huh?"

he was so distracted by the lights that he forgot all the times you and ty talked while you were on facetime. it was your first time seeing him in person so you'd give jack that, you found it adorable though, how he was concerned about introducing you to his teammate all while being blinded by the harsh light you'd become accustomed to.

"here, jackjack. wear my sunglasses," you told him before taking the shades off your head and placing them over his eyes.

"bye ty, we'll see you tomorrow?" you asked before he walked away.

"yeah, see you guys."

you turned your attention back to your boyfriend who still seemed to be trying to gather himself. he let out a low whistle before grabbing his bags and looking at you.

"woah, babe. i don't know how you do this, it makes me want to fight all these guy for blinding you."

a smile formed upon your lips as you walked over to your car. he placed his bags in the back before sitting down in the front.

"i'm used to it now, so it's all good. c'mon, let's go home."

--

to say the day was hectic would be an understatement. it was jack's first time accompanying you to a premier and it was also going to be his first time on a red carpet so you wanted to make it special.

after you both got to your apartment and spent some time together, you took a nap and lost track of the hours. when it was time for you guys to get ready, your team barged in and woke you up — since then, everything was a blur.

you could tell jack was having fun, which made you happy. he was getting his hair and makeup done and you could hear him excitedly chatting with the people working on him. it was going to be a fun night for sure.

you even went as far as making sure there would be people to interview jack at the event. you knew that even though there would be reporters wanting to talk to him, they'd probably be asking him about your relationship instead of actually interviewing him.

you knew he wouldn't mind but you also knew he was nervous and you wanted to make him feel welcome. since you were the star of the movie, you asked the right people to pull some strings. surprisingly, it wasn't as hard as you'd originally thought.

everything was perfect. you finished getting ready and made your way over to jack who was waiting for you in the makeup chair. he heard your footsteps and turned his head with a grin on his face.

your mouth parted in surprise as you noticed the light makeup on his skin. it wasn't a lot but it was enough that you could pinpoint just a slight enhancement in his features.

"i'm wearing makeup. this is so weird— i mean, it feels weird but i kinda like it," he told you quickly before grabbing your hand.

you laughed. "that's great, babe."

after you spoke those words, he took a moment to let his eyes roam over your body. you looked stunning.

you also used this time to digest how incredibly hot he looked. his all black outfit made you feel things you knew you shouldn't. at least, not now.

"you look hot," you both said at the same time.

jack let out a low chuckle as you continued staring at the dress shirt clinging onto his biceps.

biceps.

"when did you get so muscly?" you asked, reaching over to squeeze his arm.

"babe, i've always been muscly."

"no you haven't," you gave him a look. he felt strong around your fingers and you wondered how you hadn't noticed earlier.

you loved it.

"y/n, we gotta go!"

--

"i think i'm going to projectile vomit onto your shoes."

your head snapped toward jack's. "are you nervous? we're almost there, it'll be fun. don't worry babe, i'll be with you the whole time."

"promise you'll hold my sweaty hand the whole time?"

"i promise," you reassured, grabbing his slightly warm hand as the limo came to a halt.

jack's eyes widened as he heard the screaming outside. he was only just processing the amount of eyes on him. sure he was in the nhl, but hockey was way different from a fucking movie premier.

"babe, i can't do this," his voice trembled.

"yes, you can. i believe in you! everyone's so excited to see you— actually, no one really knows you're here but it'll be the best surprise to my fans and people watching from home. we'll do it together," you encouraged softly, giving him a few moments to calm down.

"i— okay," he nodded. "we got this, we can do it."

"i won't let go of your hand until you tell me to, okay?"

"thank you. i love you so much."

"and i love you."

a security guard opened the door and you looked to jack, wondering if he wanted you to go out before him, but he was already up and walking out the door.

my gentleman, you thought as you heard the now roaring crowd. jack stood at the door, holding his hand to help you out.

"thank you, baby. i would have come out before you, you know, if you wanted me to. i'm proud of you," you pressed a light kiss to his cheek.

"you're welcome," he laughed as the fans went bizurk. "and what kind of boyfriend would that make me?"

"a bad one," you joked, to which he responded with a light slap to your shoulder.

"hey!"

"i wasn't expecting an answer," he said before you both were whisked away.

before reaching the carpet, you had to walk through a bunch of fans who stood behind a rope waiting for you.

"jack, can i please get your autograph?!" one fan screamed as you both made your way towards them.

jack whipped his head around in confusion.

"are you talking to me?" he asked as we stood in front of the boy.

"yes!" he exclaimed, holding out a hockey card for him to sign.

jack looked at you. "what did you do?"

"nothingggg," you sheepishly shrugged your shoulders before attending to the fans before you.

after taking photos and signing a bunch of things, you and jack finally made your way to the red carpet. you could tell he'd loosened up after meeting the fans which spread a pleasant warmth through you.

"i'm not very good at posing," he whispered in your ear as you stood behind the back drop.

"it's okay, just pretend we're at a gala or something, and not on a red carpet."

he blinked rapidly, not taking his eyes off you. "wow, that totally helped."

"you're a natural, jack. we'll take some photos together before splitting up, okay?" you tried easing into it but his eyes immediately widened and you scolded yourself for scaring him.

"i thought you said you wouldn't leave me," he asked worriedly.

"jack, babe, i just meant splitting up on the carpet. i'll only be a couple meters away from you. people want photos of us together and by ourselves. no big deal, right?" you asked, bringing your hand to his cheek.

at this point you'd gotten so lost in him that it slipped from your mind that you were standing in front of dozens of cameras. the photographers were having a field day.

jack nodded and you turned your attention to the lenses, taking some fun photos with him and also some more serious ones before stepping apart. like you'd explained before, you weren't too far from him so he was okay, as long as he could see you.

"that was so fun!" he exclaimed happily, holding your arm with both his hands as you made your way to the interview section of the carpet.

"really? i'm glad, baby," you grinned at him, rubbing his arm in affection as you looked at the reporters.

"alright, so we'll make our way down this line, and don't get nervous if they ask you any questions, okay? be yourself, that's all they want. just don't say anything dumb," you informed him before walking over to the reporter on your right.

"hi guys! i'm john, nice to meet you both. how are you guys doing tonight?"

"we're good!" you replied, linking your arm with jack's and glancing at him.

"yeah, a bit nervous but i'm having fun so far."

it all went by so quickly. the interviews were great, full of fun and laughter but there were also some serious ones about your movie which jack just stood around for. he was also totally caught off guard when there were reporters asking him about his hockey and you'd never forget the look on his face. both of you ached from all the smiling but you wouldn't have it any other way. finally, you'd reached the last interview and had just enough time before the movie started.

"hi y/n! hi jack, you guys having fun so far?"

"i've had the best time ever. at first i was so nervous but i love it here, i don't want to leave."

you grinned at his response. "yeah, i'm having lots of fun. probably the most fun i've had at a premier but that's only 'cause of this guy over here."

"that's nice to hear! i'm glad you both are having fun, now before you get kicked off the carpet— i think the movie's starting soon, we've got just a couple minutes so i wanted to show you guys this video.." she trailed off, grabbing an ipad and pulling something up.

"anyone want to explain what's going on here?"

she pressed play and you bursted out laughing when you saw the video on the screen. jack blushed yet continued watching and observing himself instead of looking away.

it was a video of you guys at the airport, specifically after the paparazzi swarmed you guys and jack was disoriented from the flashing lights. you watched as ty approached you guys and jack clumsily balanced on his feet with his eyes nearly closed. the image of him squinting while "introducing" you and ty will never leave your mind.

"oh god, i can't believe they recorded that.." jack muttered after the video ended.

"can someone tell me what was going on? i'm so confused over here!"

"i'm just not used to all the bright lights, you know? i mean, the red carpet was fine but that was right after i woke up from a nap on the plane and— why am i even explaining myself?" jack asked himself, embarrassed.

"he's so adorable, isn't he?" you asked no one in particular, cooing at your boyfriend.

"i'm not going to call your boyfriend adorable while you're standing in front of me, girl! but you are both adorable and i hope you have a fun time tonight."

there weren't enough words to describe what a blast you had with jack. the twinkle in his eyes was something you would never forget and you were thankful your job provided you with the opportunity to see it.

jack was definitely coming with you to your next movie premiere.
