Dean Portman X Female Reader
Highschool Senior , 3rd Year AU
(Reader is in the opposite team)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Hockey season just started recently, and some teams are new just like 'Pronghorn North Dakota' (Fictional Team,mixed-gender team) They're currently on a streak. and fighting nearby prep schools. todays game, is Pronghorns VS Ducks. At the rink, 1-2 hours before the real game. On-ice warm-up drills just started. as both team stretch and warm up.
Meanwhile, Fulton & Dean are currently yapping to each other. talking about what they ate and did before entering the rink. before opening up to the topic about they're enemies from the opposite team.
"I've done some research about these guys. and they just became great because of their new captain. Miccha Evertone." Dean mutters.
"Heard that guy was so strict- so strict he's like captain blood" Fulton snickers.
"Woah, that's an experience i wont forget" Dean chuckles along fulton

Finally, Game time. players gets in position. Reader (y/n) is back at the bench as a 3rd line and Captain Miccha is at the 1st line as a starting lineup. The puck drops, averman gets hold of the puck and drags it to blue line. before being checked and loosing possession of the puck. a teammate from pronghorns keeps possession and speeds through their blue line side to the opponents blue line, then passing sideway to their winger. the winger baits out and lets his teammates get in postion. before doing a no-look pass which his teammate expected and scored immediately. the score is 1-0. the game was fast paced, just like the animal they represent (pronghorn)
"What the hell was that? i just blinked and they scored!" Dean groans. pulling down his visor and sighing
Next period, goes the same. 3-0 with some counters but they always and somehow gets it back in a speedy way that you cant react or think fast enough for it. some players from the pronghorn start to get tired, and the coach decided to finally put Reader on the lineup, changing position with a exhausted teammate while midgame.
but right now, Dean is charging up to the offensive zone with the puck in his stick after anticipating a pass. Reader immediately acts up, and starts catching up. trying to check him.
"Your persistent aren't you?" Dean grunts, before slightly bumping. making Reader loose competition with dean. "But im more persistent."
Dean scores, and the ducks celebrate by circling around him and cheering. Dean absolutely loves the attention and cheers along as motivation. "We got this in the bag boys and girls!"
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." Reader scoffs, wiping their stick and tapping it on ice for preparation.
"Oh will do and will do it." Dean just shrugs. like this will be easy.
For the next minutes, ducks just keep scoring and the pronghorns just catches up. scoring, until 3rd period. the score is 7-7. tied. 15 minutes left, Dean covers up Reader to intercept a expectable pass.
"Move it bastard!" Reader grunts. annoyed.
"Nah. I need your teammates to feed you a pass, so i can feast on it right after!" Dean laughs.
Reader shoulder checks him and he looses balance, as Reader gets away.
5 minutes left in the clock. the first team to score will probably win.
The puck flies out and bumps to the board. worse place to grab a puck. as everybody is eager to get it. Dean was the first one to try grab it before suddenly Reader pins Dean and tries to grab also. "Give it up, Duckling!"
"Not a chance, sweetheart!" Dean checks Reader before successfully pulling the puck out. he makes a pass to fulton. who scores right after.
the timer runs out, and with that last minute goal, the ducks wins.
"You play fine, but not great." Dean chuckles before reuniting with his team. celebrating joyfully.
"Cocky bastards...." That game ruined ProngHorns winning streak. but they wont back off that easily, they'll come back greater.
