for @l1terae continued from here because we always need more garrett & wellsy
garrett had fallen hard for hannah from the beginning. not that he would have acknowledged that in the beginning, but he definitely had strong feelings from the jump. so the more garrett learned about her . . . the more he cared. at this point, he didn’t know where he would be without her. she’d changed his life for the better. and it wasn’t just anyone that he’d risk his hockey season for. coach wasn’t happy, but when garrett gave the bare bones reasoning? he’d understood. punishment was limited. thankfully.
❝ no, ❞ he admitted when she asked if it hurt . . . and that was because he’d been so fueled by adrenaline. nothing hurt when you were seeing red, but he appreciated her kisses all the same. then she’s shoving him and the mood shifts ( not in a bad way ) and he can’t hide his smile in response. ❝ i don’t back you up because you need it, wellsy. you’re the strongest girl i know. i back you up because i want to. you deserve someone in your corner, and that’s going to be me every single time. ❞ garrett looked at hannah, watching her as she spiraled, there was question after question, and garrett just sat there . . . waiting for a natural end. then the opportunity came and garrett took in a deep breath, ❝ i’m not in trouble. i told coach the . . . basics. it’s up to you if you want to give the whole story. ❞ he took her hand in his, ❝ your comfort comes first here. whatever you think is best for you, that’s what i want too. ❞
