“You’re a manager for umich hockey, you and Nolan like each other...”
A/N: aah she’s finally posted! I waited so long to post this my b y’all!
Let me know your thoughts if you have any!
You went to the tailgate the boys were having, they never really saw you outside of the rink, but they invited you to their tailgate because of the joke going around that one of them liked you. You didn’t really imagine it being true, but you did like Nolan and you knew he didn’t like you.
“Y/n’s here!” Griffin cheered pulling you into a hug, you knew he was drunk, he had many bottles of beer in his hands and he smelt like a liquor cabinet.
“Hi, griff.” You laughed pulling away from the hug getting one from Will now, “oh Nolan is over there if you want to go flirt with him.” He joked, will knew you had a little bit of a liking towards Nolan, he picked up on your flirting, the way your eyes lit up when Nolan came in the room, the way you looked at him, and how you were always blushy around him. Will knew just by looking at you that you had a thing for him even if you didn’t want to admit it.
“Ha ha very funny.” You scoffed feeling arms wrap around you from behind, seeing a mop of dark brown hair take over your views, “hi!” Nolan shouted into your ear and you turned around giving him a proper hug not even noticing he was shirtless.
“How are you?!” He asked, and you pulled away looking up at him, your heart melting feeling butterflies in your stomach go crazy.
“I’m good! Are you drunk?” You laughed looking over seeing will with a smirk looking at you both, “how cute young love.” He walked away rubbing your shoulder.
“Just a few beers in me nothing crazy.”
“Still got the lettuce? Thought you were cutting it?” You asked, you had liked his hair long, he had told you he had been contemplating cutting it before the season started until you told him you liked it, so he decided not to cut it and keep it because of you.
“Eh I kind of like it long.” He shrugged running his fingers through it, “you didn’t like it long a day ago? You could’ve just trimmed it yesterday?”
“Okay so now you’re hating it, huh?” He nudged you, a smirk on his face and you laughed feeling your cheeks heat up, “I’m not hating it! I’m just saying! You could have because by the end of the season it’ll be really long.” You laughed running your fingers through his hair, butterflies in his stomach erupting.
“Yeah uh huh,” he heaved out a deep sigh, feeling his knees go weak taking in the perfume scent you had on, “warm vanilla, huh?” He asked the minute your hand left his hair running down his bare chest a bit before removing it realizing what you were doing.
“What?” You asked crossing your arms over your chest, a smile on his face, “warm vanilla, is that your scent?”
“For today it is, tomorrow’s a whole other day, Moyle.”
You came into practice the next morning after the football game, “hey,” you said seeing will come out of the locker room first, “hey, mrs. Moyle.” Will joked following you out onto the bench, “what?” You asked laughing setting a few of the sticks behind the bench that the boys wanted.
“Come on, you and Nolan flirting all tailgate and running your fingers through his hair. You practically gave him a boner—“
“William!” You threatened hearing more of the guys coming out onto the ice, he laughed, “come on, y/n, do you like him? I know you do even if you say no.”
“Yeah okay he’s cute,” you admitted a smile forming onto your face and you quickly covered your hands over your mouth trying to stop smiling hearing will laugh skating around the rink.
“I doubt it!” You laughed, a body walking in front of you reaching for a stick exchanging it with the one he had before, “just wanted this,” Nolan smiled looking down at you, you could barely get out any word before you were watching him walk away now going onto the ice and you watched him playing with your fingers nervously.
“You love him,” one of the managers sang causing you to snap out of it looking over at him knitting your eyebrows together, “I don’t.” You pushed past him going into the locker room now once all the boys were out grabbing some of their things they might need on the ice deciding to focus on what you were here to do.
“Why don’t you just admit you like him?” The same asked once you returned from the locker room, “because I don’t.” You lied starting to arrange their equipment while he dealt with everything else they may have needed.
“What do you mean? It’s obvious.”
“Well I don’t, so drop it.”
“Just ask her out already!”
“What? No.” Nolan said nervously looking over at nick who had been trying to convince him for weeks to ask you out, but he was too nervous to do so.
“Do it!” Will cut into the conversation shouting across the locker room causing everyone to stop talking, “wow say it louder I don’t think she heard you out there.” Nolan blushed taking off his equipment throwing his clothes on trying to move slow, but he was so eager to catch you before you left the building.
“Oh mr. lovey loverson is leaving the building now.” Nick joked, getting some of the laughs from the guys when he walked out of the locker room seeing you standing there talking with a few of the managers, your backpack on about ready to leave.
“Hi,” Nolan came up from behind you and you turned around walking out with him now, “hey!” You cheered walking out to your cars together, “so warm vanilla today too?” He smirked following you to your car.
“Yeah? Well if I take you out say Friday will you be wearing warm vanilla?”
“Just maybe will you have a haircut?”
“Keep wishing, babe, keep wishing.”
