‧₊˚✧[ OCTOBER 27, 2023 ]✧˚₊‧
later that same night, dahlia found herself waiting for will in the same sport they met at last time. the game ended with a 5-1 wins for the eagles over michigan state. sadly, will had not collected any points, but he still played amazingly, well in dahlia's eyes he did. the girl let out a soft giggle at violette's text telling her about a stupid disagreement she and her boyfriend had over which cars movie was the best.
the girl then moved to her snapchat, opening a small vlog one of her friends had made before opening her camera to snap her back. the girl could not help the blush that rose to her cheek when she saw the eagles jersey on her. of course, to her friends it just looked like she was supporting her school, not knowing about about the large 6 on her back and the name SMITH between her shoulders.
sadly, dahlia could not get the same seat she always got behind the bench, so she ended up sitting more in the corner of the rink in the second row. will quickly spotted her in the stand, a wide smile appearing on his face when he realized she had wore his jersey just like she had said. he also wasted no time texting her as soon as he got back to the locker room.
"gimme a twirl." will said as he approached the girl, a smile on his face. dahlia quickly shoved her phone in her pockets, a large grin forming on her lips as she saw the blond making his way to her. she waited until he was a little closer to start slowly spinning around, will's hand landing on her waist when her back was towards him.
"looks good on you." he spoke softly once they were face to face, his hands still on her. dahlia giggled nervously before reaching up to cup his cheek.
"felt really confident, until i realized this guy on the ice copied my look. how rude of him." she joked, making will roll his eyes before letting his hands slip to her back, bringing her closer to him.
"matching, that's cute. you know the guy?"
"a bit."
"what's he like?"
"really sweet, and nice, and handsome. not the smartest, though." the girl whispered as their faces were now only centimeters away from each other. will chuckled a bit before leaning down and connecting their lips. "did so good, will."
"yeah?"
"yeah." the girl breathed out before connecting their lips again. her hands moved up to the back of his head, her fingers locking with his curls as their kiss grew more intense.
"so fucking pretty, dahls." will mumbled against her lips before pushing the girl against the wall. their lips reconnected as dahlia let out a gasp as one of will's hand moved down to her ass, somehow bringing her even closer to him.
"will..." the girl let out as will's lips moved from her mouth to her neck, softly nipping at her skin.
"mm?"
"someone... someone could walk by." she mumbled before biting her lips as will found her sweet spot, gently sucking on the spot.
"don't care." he whispered in her ear before kissing the shell of it, making the girl let out a soft whimper as shiver went down her spine.
"i do. i-" the girl was cut off but will's lips on her again. their tongue soon met in the middle, the hockey player letting out a small groan as one of his hands moved up to her neck. as much as the girl feared someone would see them, she never wanted this moment to end.
having will so close to her like this, his hands on her, his lips kissing her so softly. it was addicting. she had never experienced something like this before, and she loved it. she wanted to bask in this moment for the rest of her life.
but of course, everything good thing has to come to an end. unfortunately for them, their moment was ended by will's best friend calling out his name.
"will?" gabe's voice echoed as footsteps could be heard approaching their direction.
"fuck me." will whispered as the two of them pulled away, both of their lips shinny and slightly bruised. "fucking perreault." before either of the two teens had time to say anything else, gabe came into their view, his jaw dropping slightly as he realized the position they were in. the girl pressed against the wall, her hands still in will's hair as the boy still had his hands on her.
gabe recognized her right away, he was not an idiot. he had also talked to violette in his last french class, finding out that the two of them had been hanging out for quite some time now. granted, gabe and all the other guys had a feeling since will barely spent time with them, and was always sneaky when telling them about his plans.
the fluent boy let out an awkward cough as will stepped back from the girl, but one of his hands stayed on her waist, keeping her close to him still. dahlia had not really realized what had been happening, her intense make out with the blond boy playing over and over in her head. it was not until will spoke that she was brough back to reality.
"gabe, this is dahlia. dahls, this is gabe, my roommate." will smiled awkwardly, making dahlia awkwardly as well. gabe let out a small chuckle at the matching smiles on their faces.
"hi." dahlia spoke, before looking over at will with a panicked look on her face.
"hey. just wanted to let you know im going to ryan's, i'll text you when i leave." gabe said to his teammate before sending a smile to the girl and walking away, leaving the two alone. will cleared his throat before looking over to dahlia, who's face was flush red as her eyes stared at the ground.
"wanna come to mine for a bit?" will ask, a wave of confidence taking over him. he had not invited her over before because gabe was always there, but now, since he knew his roommate would not bother them, it seemed like the perfect time.
"sure, yeah."
｡ﾟ•┈୨♡୧┈• ｡ﾟ
"thanks again for coming tonight, it meant a lot." will whispered an hour late. the two teenagers were now laying in will's bed, the girl switching her jeans for one of his sweatpants, his jersey still on her. dahlia's head was resting on will's upper chest, her arms around his torso as his hugged her close. the girl smiled up at him, pressing a kiss to his jaw.
"i think i'm starting to understand the rules." the girl whispered back as will leaned his forehead onto hers, their eyes connecting.
"yeah?"
"mhm. tripping people, that's a big no no. hitting the head too. oh, and keep your stick away from people's head. and when you guys get the puck into the net, i cheer." the girl rambled with a soft smile. will looked down at her with adoration filled in his eyes. he had quickly noticed how little dahlia knew about sports, so he had not bothered to try and explain the rules of hockey to her, meaning she had learned all this on her own.
"what about icing? or offsides?"
"icing? that goes on cake, silly." dahlia said truthfully, making will giggle slightly.
"you've got a long way to go, loves." will laughed as he pulled the girl closer, fully hugging her, as the nickname slipped passed his lips so naturally. dahlia felt butterflies in her stomach as the word replayed in her head. loves. thankfully, she did not need to say anything as will's phone dinged, making him groan slightly.
"gabe's going to get some food, you want some?" the boy asked as he sat up in his bed, his fingers typing away on his phone.
"i'm fine." she lied. she was starving, but she did not want some stranger to pay for her food, it just did not feel right.
"i'll tell him to get you a chicken wrap."
"will-"
"your stomach's been growling for the last half hour, dahls. i'm not gonna let you starve."
"i don't have any money on me, will."
"i'll cover it, don't worry. and don't try to argue with me, dahlia." will said firmly, leaving the girl silent at the use of her full name. dahlia did not like having to rely on other people to buy stuff for her, she had her own money she had saved up from her job during high school, she was fully capable of paying for herself.
"i'll transfer you-"
"you're not transferring anything, dahl. just let me pay for you, okay? i want to." he whispered softly as he dropped his phone back on his bed. the girl bit her lip slightly before nodding a bit, making will smile a bit.
"i can pay for my own stuff, will."
"i know you can dahls, and i'm not trying to say you can't when i pay for you. i'm doing it because i want to pay, it's the gentlemen in me." the boy joked, making dahlia smack his chest lightly, the two of them chuckling a bit.
"i'm paying for your coffee tomorrow." the girl stated, a stern look on her face.
"then i'll pay for yours."
"will-" the girl tried to argue, but will cut her off. their bickering continued for a couple of minutes before gabe entered the room.
"is everyone clothed?" the boy yelled out as he closed the door behind himself, standing in the little hallway of their dorm room.
"yes." will sassed, rolling his eyes slightly. gabe knew very well that nothing like that had happened between them yet, and they surely would not start knowing that the boy could walk in at any moment. the next second, gabe was approaching his friends bed, dropping a brown bag on the mattress.
"hey, dahlia." the boy said naturally, catching the girl off guard a bit. this was only their second time meeting, not to mention that she was in his dorm, and he was acting like this was a everyday situation.
"hi." she answered back, the same awkward smile on her face as before. meanwhile, will had quickly started going through the bag, handing dahlia her food. "thanks."
"movie?" gabe questioned the other two as he threw himself down on his bed, turning on the tv the boys had gotten. will looked over at dahlia, who had already started on her food, the girl nodded a bit.
"sure. you pick." will said to his roommate before pushing himself up slightly so he would not choke on his food. dahlia did the same, resting on her head against his shoulder, will's arm wrapping around her shoulders.
"i just have one rule, no making out please." gabe joked, earning himself a pillow to the head from will. soon, the three teens fell into a comfortable silence as gabe picked a random movie on netflix.

monday morning, dahlia woke up with a huge grin on her face as her eyes locked onto will's jersey, which was still laying on her desk chair. violette had spent the night at her boyfriend's place, meaning her jaw dropped to the floor the next day only to see that the smith jersey was still here, and a smiling sleeping dahlia.
since the boys had played on thursday and friday, they had their weekend nights free, which will took upon himself to make extra special for dahlia. he had spent his saturday hanging out with the guys, much to his dismay. the only reason behind his presence was dahlia refusing to see him until he spent time with his friends. but the boy was quick to make his way over to her in the library, and just as quick to get her out of there. they spent that evening in his dorm, watching movies and messing around with each other as gabe and went through the night.
on sunday, they met up early in the coffee shop, before will insisted he showed her his childhood neighbourhood, which is exactly what they did. will's hand was resting on dahlia's thigh the whole time as he drove around, showing her all the spots he used to hangout with his friends, where he would play hockey, all of it, before stopping at his favourite small restaurant near his house for lunch.
then the two had made their way back to campus, will taking the longer way around to spend as much time with her as possible. sadly, will had a team dinner that night, meaning the two wouldn't be able to see each other, but that didn't mean they didn't talk. just like he had been for the last two weeks, will was glued to his phone. the guys had now be fully updated, thanks to gabe, about what was truly going on between the two teenagers, so none of them were being annoying about it.
the night ended with will wishing her a good sleep, along with a promise of coffee the next morning. which lead dahlia to this moment, her smile wide as she grabbed her phone and the first thing she noticed was a notification from will.
will
good morning dahls
dahls
morning blondie
will

same place as always

it's a date ;)
the girl grinned down at her phone before quickly getting up and starting to get ready. she decided on a pair of black leggings with a sweater that she paired with her favourite shoes.
when she arrived at their usual coffee spot, she spotted a mop of blond curls sitting in a corner. she quickly made her way over, noticing the two coffees already sitting on the table.
"hi, sorry i'm a little late." she apologized as she sat down across from the smith boy. the hockey player smiled up at her as she sat down, a shy smile on her face.
"you're all good, don't worry. how'd you sleep?"
"fine. you?"
"would've been better with you." the boy said with a childish grin on his face. dahlia rolled her eyes at his words while a small smile grew on her face.
"idiot." the girl mumbled before taking a sip of her coffee, will staring at her with the biggest heart eyes she had ever seen. she coudn't help the butterflies in her stomach as the two held eye contact as they slowly sipped away on their drinks, barely any words being said between them.
dahlia hadn't felt such at peace it what felt like forever. the only thing that was on her mind was will, and will only. all the assignments she had, all the drama her friends all, it had slipped her mind. she loved it. she had never felt like this with anyone before, and she was obsessed with this new found feeling in her.
"doing anything tonight?" the boy asked her as they walked towards the girl's first class of the day.
"vi and i are having dinner with our parents, sorry." dahlia apologized as they entered the building where her english class took place.
"don't be, i get it. tomorrow?"
"yeah, that works with me." the girl smiled as they reached the door to her class, the two stopping a couple of feet away from it.
"text me when you get home."
"i will. can i call you before going to sleep?" the girl asked, her voice dropping a couple of octaves.
"i'll be waiting." the hockey player answer just as softly, before leaning in and pressing a small kiss to her lips, which dahlia quickly reciprocated. "take care."
"bye, will." the girl said before the disappeared down the hallway and she was hit with the reality of her life, her stupid english lecture.
if anyone was to ask her what the professor had talked about, she wouldn't be able to answer. all she could think about during the boring lecture was the blond boy. dahlia often found herself blushing down at her notes as she thought about the previous, more specifically the new jersey she owned sitting in her closet.
will was the only thing in her mind; his soft lips against hers, his strong arms holding her close to him in his bed last night, his cologne being the only smell, the way he looked at her as they stood outside her dorm room. all of it. it all felt so magical, something out of a disney movie. she loved it, and she never wanted it to end.
unbeknown to her, the blond boy was having those same exact thoughts as he sat on his desk chair, trying his best to complete his homework for his class. but every time he tried to think about the previous lecture, dahlia was the only thing he could think of. will had never been so infatuated with anything other than hockey in his life, but he was not complaining at all. dahlia truly was the kindest and most amazing person he had met in his life, and he was not ready for her to leave ever.
