goodbyes

April 6, 2023

The Umich Hockey team was getting up about to head out onto the rink about to play the Frozen Four game against Quinnipiac.

Sebastian stood up and saw Luke across the room still sitting on his stall and fiddling with his gloves. Sebastian walked over letting everyone else walk out and the room was empty besides Luke and him.

He sat down next to Luke and put his arm around Luke bringing him into his side, “I know my love.” Sebastian mumbled comforting Luke kissing the top of his curls. Sebastian knew how nervous Luke was for this game because so was he. If they lose they were leaving tonight to head to New Jersey and signing their entry level contracts.

“I’m gonna be sick.” Luke mumbled resting his head against Sebastian’s chest listening to the even sound of his heartbeat and taking slow deep breaths. Luke has never been this nervous for a game before but this game was a lot in general and adding the pressure of the signing and joining the NHL after put a lot more pressure on it.

“I know.” Sebastian and pressed another soft and long kiss to the top of his head, “Let’s go out and enjoy this.” Sebastian gently stood up and held out a hand for Luke to take.

Luke grabbed his hand and stood up and looked at Sebastian’s soft and comforting eyes and reassuring smile and took a deep breath breath and nodded dropping his boyfriend’s hand.

Sebastian and Luke walked through the halls and jumped onto the ice warming up their team not knowing it would be the last time.

The game started and it was tense from the start, the first period started and Quinnipiac scored first and then Seamus got a goal making the score a tie before Quinnipiac scored once more before the period was over.

Luke knocked his helmet against Sebastian’s as they stepped back onto the ice for the second period.

Luke passed to Sebastian who passed the puck to Adam leading to Adam scoring a goal and making the score tie once more.

Sebastian and Luke shared one more soft look as they stepped back onto the ice for the third period.

Luke passed the puck to Sebastian making him shoot the puck and getting a goal, and making Michigan lead for the first time all night.

“Let’s go baby.” Luke cheered as he knocked his helmet against Sebastian’s smiling widely as they celebrated the goal.

The happiness didn’t last long.

A few minutes later Quinnipiac scored again. And again.

Michigan lost 3-5 to Quinnipiac.

Sebastian watched as Luke tried to hurry off the ice towards the bench and quickly realize what was wrong, he rushed over grabbing the bucket and held it for Luke while blocking him from all of the fans and camera.

“Sssh let it all out.” Sebastian softly cooed and gently rubbed Luke’s back as he puked into the trash can Sebastian was holding. Sebastian was just as upset as Luke but was better at hiding it.

Luke went to try to speak but Sebastian just gently shushed him understanding how upset he is.

Sebastian gently wiped off Luke’s face and grabbed his water leading him down the rest of the tunnel and through the halls catching up with their teammates.

Sebastian sat with Luke in his stall not wanting to leave Luke alone and not wanting to be away from Luke.

Mark pouted and walked over sitting on the floor in front of Sebastian and Luke leaning his head on Sebastian legs, Ethan looked over and quickly walked over sitting down next to Mark on the floor. Mackie was sitting on the other side of Sebastian and Dylan sitting on the other side of Luke.

Sebastian could honestly say he had no idea what their coach said as he was just playing with Luke’s fingers the whole time.

Players started slowly shuffling to the showers and Luke gently stood up and pulled Luke with him. Sebastian wished he could shower with Luke but knew he couldn’t hear so he guided Luke to a shower and took the one next to him.

Sebastian quickly took a shower and threw on a pair of sweatpants and t-shirt, he waited outside the showers for Luke, who did take the longest out of everyone and most of the team was back in the locker room already.

Luke looked sadly towards Sebastian and could tell his boyfriend was struggling too, Luke walked over and pulled him into a gentle but tight hug letting Sebastian burry his head into Luke’s neck. Luke could feel the shaky sigh he let out.

“Me and you?” Sebastian soflty mumbled against Luke’s neck.

“Me and you always.” Luke reassured him and pressed a kiss to the side of his head and reluctantly let Sebastian go and stand back up.

They shared one more look before heading back into the locker room that was just a sad atmosphere, The two saw their suitcases that they brought by their stalls with their hockey bags all packed up completely.

Sebastian let the freshman tackle him into a hug and he fondly rolled his eyes but group hugged all of them back, he wouldn’t admit but they all grew on him.

Luke was saying his goodbyes to the older players before Sebastian came over and Luke went to their freshman group.

Once Luke and Sebastian said their goodbyes to almost the whole team expect their grade, Mackie, Dylan, Ethan and Mark.

Mark lunged forward and tightly hugged one of his best friends, “Don’t be a stranger alright.” Mark mumbled as he tightly hugged Sebastian.

“Never.” Sebastian promised hugging back someone he’s always going to consider a best friend.

Dylan and Luke were hugging each other tightly. Mackie and Ethan watched sadly.

Mark reluctantly let go of Sebastian and let Mackie and Ethan hug him at the same time.

Sebastian let out a fond sound and hugged the two tightly back.

Mark walked over and hugged Luke tightly, “Take care of him?” Mark whispered.

“Always.” Luke promised, once he was jealous of the relationship between Sebastian and Mark but he realized Mark and Sebastian understand each other in a way no one else does and Luke knows now that the two are truly just platonic, platonic soulmates.

Dylan walked over and pulled Sebastian into a tight hug, Dylan took a deep breath trying not to cry as he was saying his goodbyes to his two best friends, not sure when they would see each other again.

“Thank you.” Sebastian mumbled hugging Dylan back, Dylan was surprising but he crept into Sebastian’s heart and became needed Sebastian knew he always needed.

“Always bud.” Dylan sadly mumbled back and reluctantly let go of him.

Dylan and Sebastian looked over seeing Luke just getting out of the hug with Mackie and Ethan.

Sebastian and Luke shared a look and nodded they both turned around and grabbed their bags. The two started walking out of the room and looked back once more at the team before starting to walk away.

Luke and Sebastian both nodded many goodbyes to Michigan staff as they walked through the arena and to the outside where the car was waiting to take them to the airport.

They gave the bags to the driver and Sebastian opened the door letting Luke hop in first, Sebastian got in after him shutting the door.

Luke gently grabbed Sebastian’s hand and fiddled with his fingers the whole drive to the airport, Sebastian leaned against the window looking out the car the whole time and gently rubbing Luke’s hand with his thumb.

They thanked the driver and headed through the airport, through security and headed to their gate, they got there just at the plane was boarding and walked right on.

Sebastian let Luke take the window seat as he put their hockey bags in the overhead before sitting in the middle seat and putting the arm rest up between them. Luke held onto Sebastian’s hand tightly as they sat there waiting for the plane to take off. Lucky for them no one sat next to them and it was just the two of them in the row.

Luke let out breath he was nervous but he had Sebastian and that made all the fears go away because no matter what he had Sebastian with him.

Sebastian scooted and found a comfortable position and rested his head on Luke’s shoulder closing his eyes.

Luke let his head fall onto of his boyfriend’s head and closed his eyes.

Sebastian slowly woke up at the shake and felt the plane landing on the ground, he opened his eyes and looked at the screen seeing they just landed in New Jersey.

“Lu baby.” Sebastian gently cooed running a hand through his curls softly, Luke mumbled shuffling closer to his boyfriend warmth, “Come on we landed.” Luke slowly peaked his eyes opened and nodded lifting his head up and rubbing his face.

Sebastian stood up and grabbed their bags for them and let Luke walk down the row first and off the plane.

They headed down the pick up their checked bags and quickly grabbed them and walked through the airport to the outside where Jack was picking them up.

Jack was waiting in the pick up lot and smiled widely as he saw the two walking to him, he was ecstatic when Luke got drafted to the Devils and it only became better when Sebastian was drafted too. Jack has know Sebastian for so long now he’s become a younger brother to Jack. And Jack has always been glad how good of a best friend Sebastian has always been to Luke.

Jack and Luke quickly hugged other tightly, Jack softly ran his hand through his bag brothers curls before reluctantly letting him go and pulling Sebastian into a hug as well.

Sebastian bent down slightly and hugged Jack back, Sebastian would never admit it to anyone besides Luke but Jack is someone he sees as a brother and so is Quinn.

“Come on let’s get you guys home.” Jack giddy smiled, he helped them put all of their bags into the car and then the two hoped into the backseat while Jack drove them.

Jack had recently moved before the start of the season to a a lot bigger apartment, with alot of extra rooms and space because he knew the two would stay with him at least a year and he wanted to be able to have alot of guests but be able to let any other teammates stay with him.

Sebastian had wanted to get his own apartment with Luke but Jack all but begged that two would stay with him at least for a season as he wanted them to stay with him so badly.

Sebastian knew that Luke missed his brother and he did miss Jack too so it wasn’t hard for Jack to convince them to live with him.

Jack yapped for the whole drive back and pulled into the parking garage, he parked the car and they all got out.

Luke and Sebastian grabbed their bags and followed Jack through the building and elevators up to the floor, Jack led them down the hallway and to the apartment door and opened the door.

They walked in after Jack, Jack lead them down a hallway, “Here this is a Jack and Jill rooms so i thought they would work good for you too? And my rooms across the apartment.” Jack opened the door to one of the rooms and led them in.

“It’s all good Jack thank you.” Luke smiled patting his brother on the shoulder.

“Alright i’ll let you to settle in.” Jack smiled once more and walked out of the room closing the door behind him.

Sebastian walked to the bathroom and opened the second door and it connected to his room, which was convenient for them. As Jack still has not realized that Sebastian and Luke are together.

Luke walked through their bathroom into Sebastian room and grabbed his hand pulling him to the bed, Luke pushed his boyfriend onto the bed and quickly climbed on top of him and laying down on him.

Sebastian just wrapped his arms around Luke and gently played with his curls.

Luke let out a long breath and held onto Sebastian tighter.

Will they, won't they? || [Alex Keller x f!reader]

Summary: You rent an Airbnb to celebrate Christmas with the team after a mission. Alex surprises you and things take an interesting turn.

Note: Fluff. I love Alex so fucking much. A little Christmas story with the team. Also, it's probably the holiday spirit affecting me, but Graves is still blue, he didn't betray anyone. He's an honorary member of the 141. Oh, and Lucas Riggs! AU obviously.

"Johnny, just leave the kitchen, please," you begged him for the third time. The sergeant flashed a cheeky smile at you before reaching out to grab another cookie from the top shelf where you had previously hid it. You slapped his hand then pointed at the door. "Out."

"Okay, okay, I'll help, I promise," he said with a laugh.

You didn't even remember how many times he had already promised you that in the past hour or so. Sure, he helped a bit, chopping vegetables and snacking a little while doing so, but enough was enough. You had to feed the entire team, not just this one doofus. So you walked over to him, put your hands firmly on his chest and began to push him out of the kitchen.

But it didn't work. Not because he was standing his ground--he was actually laughing and taking cautious steps back to make it easy for you to push him--but because he bumped into someone. When you looked at the obstacle, you immediately recognized the familiar face.

"Alex?" you asked cautiously, hoping you weren't imagining things.

Johnny raised an eyebrow as he stopped laughing and turned around to look at the man behind him. "Huh?"

Alex completely ignored him, his eyes were fixed on you and he eventually sidestepped Johnny to finally get to you. He pulled you into a tight hug, placing soft kisses on the hair on the top of your head. "I missed you so much, baby," he whispered.

As you leaned back a bit to take a good look at your boyfriend, you flashed a happy smile at him while you struggled not to start crying. "I thought something happened to you."

Laughing, he gave you a soft kiss then looked over at the sergeant who was still standing in the door. "It's been a while. Everything okay?" he asked with a smile.

Now that he was in the company of people he could truly trust, Alex visibly relaxed. He looked happy as he listened to Johnny's response while he had a hand wrapped around your waist. He kept you close, as if he was afraid you would run away if he didn't have his hand on your body. But you weren't planning to run. No, you were planning quite the opposite.

Suddenly you remembered the food you were preparing and quickly rushed to the oven to check on it. After a few minutes, while you were finishing the salad, you felt a pair of arms sneak around your torso and pull you back against a warm body. Alex kissed your neck, his hand slowly moving under your shirt and up to your breasts.

"Anyone could walk in," you informed him with a laugh.

"I don't care. I haven't seen you in months," he whispered in your ear. The next thing you knew, he pushed a few bowls and plates out of the way and sat you on the counter. "I'm lucky you're wearing a skirt," he mumbled against your lips while his hand traveled all the way to your thighs.

The food was ready to be served, but feeling his hand on your body again was too good to give up. But your common sense didn't leave you alone and you ended up putting your hand on his to push it away. "I wouldn't be happy if someone had sex right next to the food I'm about to eat," you said with a smile before you kissed him again.

Alex leaned back and let out a sigh. "Fine, we'll get back to this later," he replied while he helped you off the counter. "What do you want me to do?"

Under your supervision everyone came to grab something and you quickly put all of the tasty food on the dining table. You were proud of yourself. You had spent an entire day in the kitchen with the occasional help of others, but it was worth it. Alex kissed the back of your head as he passed you by and this gentle move snapped you out of your thoughts.

When you looked around, you noticed a new face standing next to your boyfriend. It was surprising, mostly because this was strictly a 141 team building event--hence the presence of a Shadow who got your permission to tag along--and even Simon decided not to wear his balaclava. Alex noticed the confused look on your face and quickly cleared his throat as he looked over at the captain.

"Now that we're all here," John began with a smile as everybody sat down, "I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce our newest member, someone who comes from the Australian Special Operations Command. Alex met him first, he was the one who made the recommendation, so let's welcome Lucas Riggs as one of our own."

Everyone greeted him, Gaz immediately started shooting questions at him, but you barely listened because Alex took your hand and didn't seem like he was about to let go anytime soon. He watched you with a smile, then he leaned close to you and said, "I love you. You know that, right?" Giggling, you nodded. "Move in with me. I want to know you're there when I happen to come home for a while."

You kissed him, this move soon earning a childish reaction from Johnny who was sitting across from you. "I'd love to," you told Alex before turning to the sergeant. "Don't make me throw a piece of bread at you."

"So you're the famous lady who has him wrapped around her finger," Lucas said with a grin as he leaned forward to look at you. "I swear he couldn't shut up about you."

Looking over at the man, you couldn't help but grin at him. So he kept talking about you to his friends? You didn't think it was possible to love him more than you already did, but Alex always proved you wrong. He always did something that made you fall deeper in love with him.

"You think I can't shut up about her?" Alex suddenly asked, turning to Lucas. "Wait until we get married."

You almost choked on the air you breathed in at that moment. Until you what?

Lucas started to laugh. "I think you should settle this with her first, mate."

"When did you ask her to marry you?" Phillip asked from across the table, sounding surprised to hear that. Well, you couldn't blame him, you were just as surprised.

"I haven't asked her yet. But I'm sure she knows that's where we're heading," he replied before looking over at you with a smile.

"That's not what her expression is telling us," Simon noted.

The smile faded from his face when he realized Simon was right. You were shocked, your face definitely mirrored that emotion. "I thought you knew," he said quietly.

You shook your head in response. Being in a relationship with someone was one thing. Moving in… Well, that was a big step but since he was away most of the time, it didn't seem to be a big deal. Marriage on the other hand was serious. Having a husband was a liability. And it was true the other way around as well.

"Baby, I'm sorry, I really thought it was obvious."

Shaking your head, you stood up and pulled your hand away from his. "I'm sorry, I'm gonna wash my face real quick."

"Y/N, wait," he tried but you were gone by the time he said that.

Across the table Johnny cleared his throat and put down his fork and knife. "I'll talk to her."

You moved up the stairs and sat on the edge of the bathtub in the bathroom while you waited for Johnny to catch up with you. That idiot slowly transformed into the closest thing you had to a brother on the field, always keeping an eye on you and always doing his best to cheer you up if you were sad or injured.

Maybe talking to him now wouldn't be a bad idea, this is why you decided not to lock the door. He might give you advice you could use now since he had known about you and Alex since the beginning. Every time you missed him, every time you thought something happened to him while he was away, Johnny was the one who consoled you, assuring you that everything would be okay.

"Why did you freak out? I thought you loved him," he began as he sat down next to you.

You turned to look at him but remained silent for now. What could you say to that? "I do love him, don't get me wrong," you began hesitantly. "It's just… Getting married? I have been married before and that didn't turn out well. What if I fuck up again?"

Johnny opened his mouth and put up his hands. "Hold up, hold up, hold up. You were married? When? And who was that guy?" he asked, completely dumbfounded.

You told him everything. How you married a guy from college, how he hated it when you were deployed, how distance slowly poisoned and ruined your marriage. How often would you see Alex now that he was helping Farah? Sure, he came back sometimes to help out, but he came less and less frequently.

Wiping away your tears, you thought about what else to tell him. But there was nothing left to say. Letting out a sigh, he reached out and wrapped an arm around your shoulder to pull you closer. As he rubbed your skin in a soothing manner, you felt more and more at ease, the stress finally leaving your body.

"I love him, don't get me wrong," you finally spoke up again after a while. "But there's a voice in the back of my mind telling me it wouldn't work out."

"That voice is stupid," Johnny said with a laugh. "Alex loves you so much, he would never hurt or leave you. I'm sure if you got married, he would do whatever he can to make it work. Maybe he would spend more time with you. He can't know what worries you if you don't talk to him."

"Maybe you're right," you admitted.

The sergeant rolled his eyes. "I know I'm right. Come on, let's go back. I don't like cold food."

After you returned, heavy silence fell on the room. No one dared to ask if you were okay, they just waited for you to say something. But you didn't say anything, only started eating as if nothing happened. The others followed suit, eating in silence until Johnny turned to Phillip and asked him about the baby project that was stressing him out lately.

Apparently they had been trying for a baby for about five years but nothing worked. The next step was a surrogate, but according to him it was a nightmare to find the right one. Johnny and Phillip were close so you weren't surprised the sergeant knew about it, but it was unexpected to hear them talk about it so openly in front of the team.

Then the conversation shifted again, this time everyone turned their attention to Lucas who was a little taken aback by the level of interest. But he answered everything and soon you knew so much about him that it felt like he had been a member for months. And you made a mental note that if you ever wanted something from him, all you would have to do was bringing him lamingtons. He was so easy to bribe.

Out of the corner of your eye you saw Alex watch you every now and then, probably hesitating to talk to you, to ask if you were feeling better. You were happy that he didn't push you and you tried your best to ignore the urge to pour everything on him right there and then.

After over an hour the others began to clean the table--they said doing the dishes was the least they could do after you cooked all day. As you watched them, you felt a hand taking yours and pulling you out of the dining room. It was Alex. He didn't say anything. He didn't have to.

Once you entered the bedroom you reserved for yourself, he closed the door and said, "I'm so sorry. But we need to talk about it."

You nodded then sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for him to do the same. But instead he knelt in front of you and rested his forearms on your thighs as he took your hands. His eyes looked like they were a darker shade of blue now, and the more you looked into his eyes, the more lost you became in them.

"Why did you react like that? I have a feeling there's something I don't know," he spoke up, breaking the silence.

He can't know what worries you if you don't talk to him.

Taking a deep breath, you decided to be honest. You told him everything--from your previous marriage to your fears regarding his affiliation with Farah. You didn't mean to sound selfish, but it still came out that way. He did what he did for a greater good, yet here you were, whining about not having your boyfriend around.

But he seemingly understood it. Once you finished your little speech, he flashed a reassuring smile at you and reached up to wipe a teardrop away. "You're right," he suddenly said.

You gave him a questioning look. Why would you be right? You were selfish, not right. "Alex, you're helping them because that's the right thing to do. I can't ask you to abandon them because of me," you told him.

"You absolutely can. Look, I'm talking about marriage, but how would that work if I'm always away?" he asked, his hand resting on your cheek. "You go on missions too, sure, but what I do takes more time. I don't want you to be lonely. And I don't want to lose you because of it either."

Shaking your head, you leaned down to kiss him. You were hesitant for some reason, as if you were just testing the waters, but Alex quickly took charge and pushed you on your back. As much as you wanted him, you knew it wouldn't be appropriate at this time. The whole Christmas dinner thing was your idea, you couldn't just sneak away like that.

"Wait, we should go down to the others," you stopped him.

He let out an annoyed groan as he watched you. "For real?" You nodded. "Fine, let's go," he said as he stood up and extended his hand to help you up.

When you reached the top of the stairs, you found Simon sitting on the bottom step, typing something into his phone. You were dying to find out who he was chatting with. Was it someone from his family? Maybe a girlfriend?

As you walked past him, you reached out to ruffle his hair with a giggle. He gave you a harsh look as he pushed your hand away, but you didn't miss the small smile he had on his lips while doing so. Behind the silent tough guy look he was really just a big softie.

Stepping into the living room felt like entering a courtroom. Everyone was watching you in silence, waiting to see if it was safe to say anything after the tense dinner. But John decided to be the team leader even in this situation, because in the end it was him who spoke up.

"Did you discuss everything? Is everything okay between you now?" he asked cautiously.

You and Alex looked at each other for a brief moment before turning back to the others and nodding. He even reached out to take your hand, tightly wrapping his fingers around yours as if he was trying to stop you from running away. But you weren't planning on leaving him, not anytime soon.

"Can we celebrate your engagement?" Phillip asked as he reached for the glass of wine he had on a nearby table.

"No, not yet," Alex replied. "But I promised to be around more often. John, we should talk about that tomorrow," he told the captain who nodded in response.

"All right, everyone, pay up," you heard Phillip say as he looked around the room. When you gave him a questioning look, he put a hand on the back of his neck and let out a nervous laugh. "Johnny said this conversation would end with you two engaged. The others agreed. I said it's early after that… incident during dinner. I won."

Alex couldn't help but laugh at this, but the sergeant didn't find it funny. "Hey, I thought you could convince her, okay? I would be ten bucks richer if I didn't have faith in your ability to charm her.

"I believe it means you lost the bet," Simon's deep voice echoed in the room.

You turned around and watched him walk inside with a smile. "You didn't take part?"

"It would have been unfair to do so," he explained as he sat down on a cushioned chair near the captain. "I knew you wouldn't say yes after what happened so taking the others' money didn't seem fair."

"It didn't bother me," Phillip said with a grin.

"You don't even need our money," Johnny noted with a laugh.

Phillip let out a humming sound. "I did it because I wanted to win. The money was a bonus I was willing to accept."

"You're just a bunch of stupid kids," you noted quietly. Alex looked down at you with a grin before kissing the top of your head real quick. "What was that for?" you asked.

"What? I can't do that?"

You freed your hand and wrapped your arm around his body as you leaned against his side. This Christmas was the best you had had in the past few years. And you couldn't help but appreciate this group of idiots that were always there to support you.
