Miscellaneous Masterlist - part two -
You follow behind Quinn as he leads you to a local Minnesota restaurant, the restaurant where you’re going to meet Quinn’s new team. Ever since Quinn got traded he’s been begging you to join him in Minnesota and officially meet the new team, but you’ve been too busy to do so because of work. As you approach the restaurant you start to have a nervous feeling in your gut, a feeling you usually get when you’re about to meet a boat load of new people. Quinn opens the door for you, standing to the side to let you through like a perfect gentleman. You wipe your sweaty palms on your pant leg as you nod at Quinn in thanks. He walks behind you, one hand placed on the bottom of your back, as he leads you towards the team. “Don’t be nervous, okay? They’ll love you.” Quinn’s words are an attempt to calm you but they fall short of reaching their goal.
The team is talking loudly and taking up a whole corner of the restaurant, their jeers get even louder when they notice you and Quinn approaching. “Huggy!” They cheer. Quinn smiles sheepishly at them before urging you forward with a light push of the hand. “Guys, this is Y/N, my friend I was telling you about. Remember?” A bunch of the Wild get up and introduce themselves, throwing out a bunch of nicknames that you fail to remember. Quinn places his hand on your back again and leads you to the only two seats at the table that are unoccupied. Quinn sits beside Brock while you sit beside a man you don’t quite recognize, his light brown hair and warm smile do make you more nervous though.
“I’m Matt.” He introduces, “Matt Boldy.” He looks at you with a gentle smile, trying to calm you down as if he can sense your nerves. “Hi, I’m Y/N. Quinn’s friend.” You smile and look at Matt, like really look at him, you notice his light brown hair and his plump lips. He has soft eyes, something that is unusual in today’s world. You’re so use to meeting guys with a hard look in their eye, trying to appear mysterious and all ‘alpha male’ like, so Matt’s eyes are a great change of pace. “Tell me about yourself. I want to know all about the girl that Hughesy can’t shut up about.” You blush at his words and look back down at your plate. “Oh there’s not much to tell. I met Quinn in Vancouver while I was at University.” Matt looks at you with intent, listening carefully, soaking in every word you’re saying. “What did you major in?”
“Marketing.” You answer.
The rest of the evening passes by in a blur. You and Matt were in your own little bubble, talking about anything and everything. The conversation between the two of you came so easily that it scares you to be honest, but in the best way possible. The later the night gets, the more people leave, eager to get home to their own families. Quinn nudges you with his elbow, asking you “Are you ready to go?” You pause and tear your eyes away from Matt, glancing at Quinn with a confused look. “It’s that late already? Damn.” You and Quinn stand and put on your coats, readying yourselves for the cold, Minnesota air. Matt stands as well, you all bid goodbye to the rest of the guys and head to the door, stopping once you get outside.
“Hey I’m gonna go get the car and pull it around, alright?” You nod at Quinn, silently thanking him for giving you a couple of lone minutes with Matt. “How long will you be in Minne?” You give Matt a small smile as you give your answer. “2 more days. I’m leaving the day after tomorrow but I’ll be at tomorrow’s home game.” Matt gives you a wide smile, a teasing tone in his voice as he asks “You’ll be wearing a Boldy jersey, right?” You laugh, loud and carefree, “Hmm I don’t know if Q would like that. Besides I don’t have a Boldy jersey but if I did then yeah, I think I would wear it.” Matt chuckles and looks to the ground, his cheeks now red because of your blatant flirting. Before Matt can say anything else Quinn rolls up in his BMW, the look on his face easily tells you that he is tired and ready to go home.
You give Matt one last look and a little wave of your fingers as you turn to walk to Quinn's car, sliding into the passenger seat. You look past Quinn and through the window at Matt, still standing where you left him. He gives you one last smile and a wave of his own before Quinn puts the car in drive and pulls away. The next morning you find a nicely wrapped package on Quinn’s front step. And inside? A brand new, number 12, Matt Boldy jersey.

Miscellaneous Masterlist - part one -
The Grand Casino Arena is loud, cheers fill the building, loud, deafening music plays in the background. Across the Jumbotron the words “Wild Win!” are flashing across along with a big 5-2 under it. The Boston Bruins sulked off the ice, skating back towards the locker room the second the buzzer sounded. The Wild though, they stayed. They raise their sticks to the crowd, a thank you to the fans, as they skate around the discarded hats that were thrown on the ice. You stand with the rest of the family, smiles adorn all your faces, each family member clapping and cheering, happy to see their significant other’s success. As the Wild finally start making their way off the ice you look at Matt, butterflies erupt in your stomach when you notice he is already looking at you.
As Matt stands on the ice, surrounded by the hats fans threw in response to his hatty, he can’t help but look at you. Everything in the arena tries to distract him but he has tunnel vision when it comes to you. Especially when you’re wearing the jersey he dropped off at your door this morning. Matt nods his head towards the locker room, a silent question. Will you be down there when I’m done?Your answer is immediate, an automatic head nod. Matt smiles as he skates off the ice, ignoring the jeering of the rest of the team and Quinn’s skeptical eyes on him.
As you make your way down to the locker room, Matt changes and showers in a record time, excited to finally talk to you after only being able to look at you throughout the game. He gives his media availability to someone else, briefly explaining that he has something important to do. He walks into the family room and instantly spots you standing and talking to Quinn. He nods in passing at the other family members that fill the room, his only focus is on getting to you. He claps Quinn on the back as he takes his place next to him, casting him a quick glance before settling his gaze on you. Your hair is styled perfectly, a gorgeous smile sits on your face, and of course that cherry on top is the number 12 Boldy jersey that rests upon your body.
“Hey I was wondering if you wanted to go to a movie, maybe get some snacks? I’m starved.” You smile as you look at Matt, his soft brown hair is still wet from the shower as it falls over his face. You go to answer him but Quinn beats you to it, “Yeah Bolds that sounds great! Where were you thinking?” You snort as Matt gives Quinn a confused look, “Uh…Q?” Quinn looks at Matt, realization falling over his features, his mouth drops open as he looks between the two of you. He nods silently to himself before walking away, shouting “See you at home.” over his shoulder. You and Matt fall into a pit of giggles before Matt offers you his hand, ready to take you to out.

Matt pulls into a parking lot with a few other cars and a giant white screen set up across from you. He puts the car in park before turning it off completely, comfortable silence fills the car until Matt decides to speak. “It’s a drive-in movie. I didn’t want to take you to an ordinary dinner because, well, you deserve more than the bare minimum.” Blood rushes to your cheeks making them have a rosy hue. You look down, unable to meet Matt’s eyes after his sweet comment. Matt lets out a light chuckle in response to your reaction, he reaches over and grabs your hand, bringing it over to his lap, giving the back of your hand a quick kiss before placing your intertwined hands in his lap.
The movie screen lights up in front of you showing an old film from the 60s. As the beginning credits begin to play Matt reaches into the back of the car, still holding onto your hand, and grabs a bag full of little snacks, candy, and a small cooler that holds what you assume to be drinks. Matt hands you the bag, allowing you to look through it and grab the snacks that you want. As you look through the bag you notice that every single snack and treat in there are your favorite foods. You give Matt a quick sideways glance to which he smiles in response, giving your hand another quick kiss. “Only the best for you.” He mutters.
After grabbing your snacks and drinks you sit back into the seat, half focusing on the movie and half focusing on the Matt’s thumb that is rubbing circles on your hand. As the movie progresses, Matt rests his arm around your shoulder, rubbing the back of your neck and shoulder with his hand. You and Matt sit together, you curled up in his arms, as much as you can with the arm rest between you. You shift your eyes away from the movie and turn to Matt, looking at his sharp jawline and the way his hair falls over his face. His soft eyes look ahead at the movie, not looking away until he feels your hand come up and rest on his jaw. You push lightly on his jaw, making him look at you before slowly leaning in and presses a quick, soft kiss to his plump, pink lips.
You pull back slightly, his nose brushes yours as you look him in the eye and ask him a silent question. Is this okay? His only response is to press his lips back to yours, kissing you deeply and thoroughly, kissing you like a man starved, kissing you like he’ll never be able to kiss you again. You pull back from the kiss finally allowing air to return to your lungs. “I’ve never been more thankful that Quinn got traded to Minnesota.” You say. Matt whispers, “Totally agree,” before bringing his lips to yours again.
The black leather seats in Quinn’s Porsche stick to your thighs thanks to the rising Minnesota heat, the sun shines through the window to rest on your face as you look at the blurry buildings passing by. You briefly pass by a billboard that promotes you and your new movie, which you had finished filming around 6 months ago. The music that is playing in the car is drowned out by the conversation between your sister and her boyfriend of two years, Quinn Hughes. You and your sister had flown to Minnesota together to come watch Quinn and Wild take on the Stanley Cup Playoffs, making this your 5th trip from Vancouver to Minnesota this season.
Each trip was for different ‘milestones’ in Quinn’s Minnesotan career. His first game with his new team, the first time he played the Canucks, the last game right before the Olympic break (which you then flew to Milan after) and finally, the last game of the regular season. Thankfully, Quinn was traded while you are not currently filming any movies which allowed you to take this time off with your sister to travel to his games. Now Minnesota welcomes you for a fifth time but this time the weather is warmer, the sun is shiner and that Playoff buzz fills the air. Quinn’s first home playoff game is tomorrow night which means tonight will be a team get together. This time, much to Quinn’s dismay, the get-together will be held in his brand new apartment.
Quinn pulls into the complex parking lot and gets out to open the door for both you and your sister before grabbing your bags and following after the two of you as you head up to the apartment. Quinn’s new apartment already has a cozy feel to it (thanks to your sister’s decorations) but the countertop is full of snacks and drinks for the upcoming party. Amidst all the party chaos you can see the houseplants you sent to Quinn as a home warming gift, the picture frames that hold photos of his family, your sister, and one of the three of you at the Grammy’s. Each photo brings a smile to your face, happy that your sister finally has someone that is so in love with her.
Quinn helps you and your sister unpack quickly, setting your stuff in your designated rooms: your sister’s stuff in Quinn’s bedroom and your stuff in the guest bedroom. When the clock finally hits 7, the first knock on the door sounds through the house. Slowly, people start filling in one by one, Quinn’s teammates mill around the house while their significant others stand in groups talking about their WAG jackets. You stand and talk with your sister for a while before separating and walking to stand with some of the other girls. “Hey girl! Oh my gosh, it’s so great to see you!” Brock’s girlfriend is the first to notice you, giving you a hug and a kiss on the cheek which draws the attention of the other WAGs.
You converse with them about your upcoming movie and how they are jealous over the fact you got to play the love interest of Michael B. Jordan. “God you’re so lucky, that man is sex on a stick. Just thinking about him makes me hot.” Lauren Hartman fans herself as she talks which draws the laughs out of the group of girls. “Geez Lo, go hose yourself off. You’re dripping all over Quinn’s floors.” Everybody falls into a fit of laughter causing you to all lean on one another for support. “I’ll go grab you a drink to help cool you off.” You say to Lauren, still giggling from the comments that were said earlier. She nods to you in thanks as you squeeze by her and start walking towards the kitchen. You wave at your sister who is perched on Quinn’s lap talking to Danielle Spurgeon as you pass through the living room and go into the kitchen.
You walk and pour Lauren and yourself a drink while also grabbing a few snacks to help refill some of the snack bowls. You spin around and come face to face with Matt Boldy, one of Quinn’s teammates, who smiles at you while giving you a small little wave. “Matt!” You exclaim. “How are you? How’s Vivian? Now that I think about it I haven’t seen her around.” Matt’s smile dims slightly, “We broke up. Around, uh, a month or so ago.” Your smile pulls down into a frown as you set down your drinks and snacks so you can pull Matt into a hug. You wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him down and holding him against you. He freezes for a small second before wrapping his arms around the small of your back. He lets out a big breath once he is securely in your arms, his body is warm and hard against your own.
You pull back after a few seconds and take a step back in order to give Matt some space. “I’m so sorry Matt, I know you really liked her. Is there anything I can do?” Matt sends a small smile your way as he responds to you. “Thank you but you being here is enough. Though I am kinda surprised Quinn or your sister didn’t mention anything.” You nod your head a little as he talks, “Yeah, but those two are so invested in one another they hardly notice their surroundings.” Matt laughs before offering to help you carry the drinks and snacks back to the living room. After that the night continues with a peaceful ease, Matt sticking a little closer to you than he ever had before.

The summer sun reflects off the cool lake water and onto your darkening skin. Michigan in the summer never ceases to amaze you, the beautiful weather and overall atmosphere adds to the warmth you feel at the Hughes’s lake house. The water laps softly underneath you, the pool floatie you’re laying on floats around the dock but never strays far thanks to the rope that ties you to the pier. Your sister lounges on a chair on the pier, humming along to the music that plays quietly through the speaker, her dark, brown hair is tied in a bun atop her head. “Girls!” A voice cuts through the peaceful air. You and your sister sit up and look over at Quinn who is standing in the grass. “The boys are here if you want to say ‘hi’.”
Your sister yells “We’ll be there in a second” to Quinn as she gets out of the chair and pulls you back to the dock. After getting out of the floatie, you and your sister walk back to the house and are welcomed by the sight of the majority of the Wild. Matt is standing amongst them, you notice. His light brown hair is styled perfectly despite the light breeze outside, his shirt is half unbuttoned and you can see his toned chest and the top of his hard abs. Even though the room is full of people, attractive people, all you can focus on is Matt. Little do you know, Matt is having the same problem.
Throughout the weeks that Matt has stayed at the lake house you find yourself shifting to be near him and when you can’t find him, you seek him out. Matt is one of the only guys you know that was invited by the Hughes’s, he’s one of the only guys you feel comfortable around. Matt basks in your attention, like a puppy when it gets pets. He practically follows you around like one too. He fetches you cold water whenever you’re outside in the lake, he gets you popcorn when you have movie nights, he lends you his sweatshirts when you get cold during nighttime boat rides.
One morning you find yourself sitting outside, sipping a warm drink as you watch the sunrise over the water. Your sister slides the door open and sits in the chair next to you, both of you sit quietly and listen to the chirping birds and lapping waves. “Are you sleeping with Matt?” You choke on your drink, coughing and sputtering out a little “What?” in response. She just shrugs nonchalantly, “I’ve just noticed that you too have been spending a lot of time together this summer. Plus he’s been acting really sweet with you, almost like you’re already dating.” You shake your head no, “Matt just had a serious breakup there’s no way we would be hooking-up, let alone dating.” Your sister just makes hum noise, clearly not believing you. Okay so Matt may have been doing some things not even your ex boyfriends have done for you like helping you make breakfast in the morning, or how he's always your go-to partner in pool, or how he knows what drink you like, or how he always saves you a chair at the table.
It’s been nice having Matt around. He's become someone who you have looked forward to seeing and talking to everyday. Honestly, he has become one of your close friends in the past few weeks, someone you find yourself confiding in and feeling safe and secure when you’re around. You wonder if this is something that you’ll miss when you’re back in Vancouver and he’s back in Minnesota or if this summer will become a faint memory.

It’s October now, the Minnesota air is turning cool, the leaves are falling onto the ground. The boxes that fill your new penthouse are still mostly packed because you haven’t found the motivation to unpack them yet. After summer ended and your sister moved from Vancouver to Minnesota to live with Quinn, you realized that you hated being in Vancouver alone. Your best friend is gone and because of the industry you work in you don’t have many other friends. So one day you called your sister and told her how you have just bought an apartment in downtown Minnesota and you would need help moving in throughout the coming weeks.
Right now you stand in the kitchen with your sister, sipping on mimosas and snacking on some homemade hash browns. You’re both watching Quinn and Matt put together your furniture. At first it was just Quinn who was setting it up but after he had a hushed conversation with your sister, Matt suddenly turned up at your apartment. He claimed he was ‘in the area’ but you know his apartment is 30 minutes in the other direction.
“Hey Quinn don’t we have to go let the dog out?” You give your sister a confused look while Quinn voices his confusion by saying “Hun, we don’t have a dog.” She gives Quinn a stern look to which he visibly pales and hurriedly stands up to grab his keys and coat. They both hurry out of the apartment, your sister throwing a wink over her shoulder as she leaves, which just leaves you and Matt alone in the apartment. You turn back to face him, finding out he is already looking at you causing you to fall into a fit of giggles.
You set your drink down and slowly walk over to Matt, still getting over the laughs. “So Matt,” he focuses all attention on you, “do you know any good restaurants around here?” His eyebrows shoot up in surprise but he quickly recovers and stands up, towering over you. “I think I know a few places.” He says with a smirk. You grab his hand and start leading him towards your new bedroom, “How ‘bout I give you a house tour first?” Matt’s face breaks out in a huge smile as he lunges forward, wrapping you in his arms, spinning you around and carrying you towards your room. “Yes please!”
