Competition [Ryan Yerbury]

Competition [Ryan Yerbury]

Description: Ryan meets Mick Fanning’s daughter, and is quite smitten with her.

Warnings: Close encounter with a shark. PTSD behavior.

All of the lifeguards were in the tower, getting their assignments. Today, Bondi Beach was closed for a surfing competition, and all of the guys were helping out.

"Ryan, you're towing and patrolling on the Jet Ski for Mick Fanning's team." Hoppo says. Ryan nods with a smile on his face. He was excited to meet Mick, considering he'd been a fan for a while. He was also excited to meet Mick's eighteen year old daughter, Y/N Fanning. He'd always thought she was beautiful and absolutely amazing in the water. Of course Ryan's older cousin, Trent Maxwell, also known as "Maxi" knew about his crush. With Maxi also being a lifeguard he was bound and determined to introduce Y/N and Ryan.

Maxi had met Y/N and Mick multiple times and knew she was a great girl, so he wasn't worried about her. He was worried about how Ryan was likely to be a klutz and embarrass himself.

§§§

"I think we'll do good." Y/N says as she sets her surfboard on the ground. She needed to clean the old wax off and put a new coat on.

"Yeah. Hopefully we win, and then we can celebrate after this." Mick says as he puts the teams assigned white rash guard on.

"How do you want to celebrate if we win?" Y/N asks as she cleans the old wax off.

"Probably a barbecue. Then we can get ice cream after." Mick smiles.

Maxi stops in front of the two and smiles. "Wow, Mick. You sure do know the way to a guys heart." Maxi puts his hand over his heart and pretends to swoon.

"Maxi! Mate, how are you?" Mick hugs Maxi and Y/N gets up to do the same.

"I'm great!" Maxi beams. He wraps his arms around Y/N and gives her a bear hug. "Have you gotten taller?!"

"Shut up, you tree!" Y/N laughs. Maxi puts her down and turns his attention to Ryan, who is standing off to the side.

"Mick, Y/N. This is my cousin Ryan. He's a lifeguard here and is actually manning the Jet Ski for you guys."

"Ah, we'll be in good hands then." Mick shakes Ryan's hand. Ryan nods.

"It's nice to meet you Ryan. How long have you been a lifeguard?" Y/N asks.

"It's nice to meet you too, and it’s my second year here."

"The guys being good to you? Especially this one?" Y/N gets back on the ground and continues to get her board ready.

"Yeah-. Isn't that the board you won your first competition with?" Ryan asks. Y/N smiles up at him and nods.

"Yeah, I've never lost a competition using this board." Y/N explains. "You surf?"

"Yeah, not like you guys do, but I love it." Ryan replies and scratches the back of his neck.

"Well, maybe we could go surfing together sometime." Y/N suggests and stands up to wipe the sand off of her.

"I-I'd love to.- I mean, yeah, of course." Ryan's face turns red and Y/N chuckles.

"Cool, we'll talk more about that later, but I have to go get my rash guard." Y/N excuses herself and walks off.

"Did my daughter just ask you on a date?" Mick asks.

"I think she did." Maxi says.

"I'm not sure." Ryan sighs and watches Y/N as she scours through white rash guards.

Maxi and Mick laugh as Ryan stands there, confused about what had just happened.

§§§

"White Team. Koby Abberton, Joel Parkinson, Matt Wilkinson, Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning, Y/N Fanning." The announcer names off everyone from their respective teams.

After the announcing is done, the competition finally starts. One person from each team goes out and tries three times to get the best wave.

"Ladies first Y/N/N." Koby says. Y/N smiles and grabs her board.

"Good luck princess!" Mick yells. Y/N keeps running down to the shore and hops on the Jet Ski with Ryan.

"Ready to go?" Y/N nods and Ryan takes them out to the lineup. "Good luck!"

"Thanks!" Y/N jumps off the Jet Ski and onto her board.

§§§

Y/N had a perfect score her first time out, and now she is out at the lineup again. Some of the other surfers were talking about how they'd heard over some radios that there was a shark out in the bay. After her father getting attacked by a shark in South Africa, Y/N was absolutely terrified of any type of sharks. She knew they were probably trying to freak her out, or they were screwing around, but the thought was still in her head when she got up on a five foot wave.

She was about halfway through when something hit her board and tipped her, causing the wave to smash her. She heard the announcers and everyone on the beach gasp, then she heard the shark alarm. She looks around under the water as she starts swimming to the surface and shrieks when she sees a Tiger Shark swimming around. Her mind pauses for a second and replays the memory from South Africa. Those few seconds she couldn't see her dad, she thought the worst. She knew that was how her dad was feeling, but it was a hundred times worse.

She breaks the surface and sees Ryan speeding her way. She sits with her knees on the board, avoiding putting her limbs in the water.

"Everyone out of the water!" The announcer yells.

Ryan finally gets to her after what feels like years for him. He is relieved to see that she isn't injured, but she is freaked out.

"Are you ok?!" Ryan asks as he helps her onto the Jet Ski.

"Yeah. Yeah, I think so."

"Ok, hold on!" Ryan speeds to shore where Mick and a few of the lifeguards along with reporters are.

Once they get there Y/N jumps off and sprints to her dad. Mick wraps his arms around his daughter and lets out a sigh of relief. Now he knows how Y/N and his mother felt when he was attacked.

"You're ok? You didn't get bit or anything?" He pulls away and looks her over.

"No. I'm ok. Just freaked out." Y/N breathes. "I saw it and all I could think about was when I couldn't see you when you got attacked." She was shaking in fear, and had tears in her eyes.

"Alright let's go." A crowd had formed around them. Spectators and reporters mostly. The guys from their team were walking with them and the lifeguards were trying to make a path. One reporter grabs Y/N's arm and Ryan decides enough is enough.

"Hey! Let her go mate!" He exclaims and steps between them. "Have some respect. She doesn't want to talk to you." The reporter backs down and they finally make it through.

§§§

The competition was now over and it was dark. The White Team won and they were celebrating with their families and friends, including the lifeguards. Y/N had been quiet since the incident with the shark, and she was now sitting in the sand looking at the water.

"Thank you." Ryan turns to see Mick standing there.

"For what?" Ryan questions.

"For getting Y/N out of there and having her back with that reporter." Mick replies and joins Ryan in watching his daughter.

"You don't have to thank me."

"I do. If you weren't out there on that Jet Ski she would've been bit." Ryan nods. "You know, if you want to ask her out on a date I wouldn't be upset right? You're a good kid and I trust you."

"Really?" Ryan smiles.

"Yes really, and she wouldn't be upset either." Mick hints. He walks back to everyone else and Ryan decides to go to Y/N.

"You alright?" Ryan asks as he sits down next to her.

"Yeah." Y/N sighs. "Is it crazy that I want to go for a surf?" She turns to look at Ryan and they both start laughing.

"It's not crazy. It's like riding a bike. You fall off, but eventually you have to get back on." Y/N nods and smiles. "How about we go for that surf tomorrow? Bronte at ten? Then we can get something to eat after."

Y/N smiles at Ryan, "Yeah. I'd love that."

Pack Christmas [Derek Hale] 🎄

Description: Derek and Y/N, sworn enemies, are chosen to prepare the pack Christmas Party.

Warnings: Arguing.

A/N: Day 1 of 12 Days of Christmas! Stay tuned for day 2! 

"Scott, what the hell?!" Y/N exclaims through the phone. She was in the middle of decorating her house for Christmas when the alpha called her to inform her that she and Derek Hale would be planning and setting up the second annual "McCall Pack Christmas Party".

"Please Y/N? We need to focus on finals and besides, you and Derek are like the packs parents!" Scott pleads.

"Scott, me and Derek barely get along." Y/N sighs as she sets a string of lights down on the floor to be untangled.

"But you work really well together. Remember when Cora and Boyd we're running through town? You guys did great that night."

"First of all, that was life or death. Second, the dude literally argues with me all of the time. Derek has made it very clear that he doesn't enjoy my presence, so if I'm going to do this, I'm better off doing it myself."

"Please, Y/N? Just try it and if it doesn't work out we'll just forget about it."

"Fine, but when everything goes sideways it's not my fault."

§§§

"Derek, come on. It's for the pack, not me!" Y/N exclaims.

They had decided to go to the store and buy decorations, and while they were getting garland to wrap around the handles to the stairs in her house. Normally she didn't do much decorating on the inside of the house but with the party being at her house she decided to go all out.

Derek, surprisingly hasn't been in a horrible mood since they started planning the party. Y/N thought he was sick at first, but then remembered werewolves don't get sick, so she doesn't know how to explain it.

Y/N suggested getting a real Christmas tree instead of the old fake one she has, but Derek decided to be difficult.

"The pack won't care." Derek deadpanned.

"Malia would love it because it reminds her of outside. Lydia loves the smell and authenticity. Scott and Stiles hate fake trees and Liam would absolutely love-." Y/N goes on until Derek cuts her off.

"You spoil those kids too much." He groans, finally giving in.

"Maybe I do. Maybe I don't."

§§§

On the way to the christmas tree farm, "Last Christmas" came on and Y/N quietly started singing it. Derek took his eyes off the road to look at her. She was beautiful. Derek always thought that from the first time they met to right now. She's always been beautiful. He's also always had a crush on her, but with all of the women he's been in a relationship with, he's been hurt by ninety-nine percent of them. He just thought it was best to push his feelings aside and distance himself, but Scott isn't helping him do that.

Once he parked his truck they started walking around the shops to see if there were any precut trees. Y/N turned a corner, saw a pin with reindeer in it and gasped.

"Derek! Can we go see the reindeer?!"

Derek looks at her for a few seconds while she looks at the reindeer. She has the biggest and brightest smile he thinks he's ever seen. His body warms at the sight. She's so happy, carefree, unlike most of the other times they are around each other.

"Yeah. Why not." Derek replies and walks over to the fence with her.

Immediately one of the baby reindeer walks over to them. Y/N puts her hand out and it rubs against her hand.

"Hi baby. You're so cute." She says in a baby voice. Derek smiles at her, yet again.

§§§

After they finished petting all of the animals Derek and Y/N made their way to the Christmas trees.

"You going to chop down the tree?" Y/N asks.

"Yeah, I used to every year when my mom and sisters were still alive."

"My dad never let me." Y/N says as she looks down at her shoes. "He always said 'Can't let my babygirl cut her hands.'."

"Your dad was protective of you wasn't he?" Derek asks as they walk through the rows of trees.

"Yeah, after my mom left with her boyfriend I was all he had left. He didn't want me to play sports in school because he was so scared that I'd get hurt."

"My mom was like that, but she didn't want us to get hurt because then we would be exposed when we heal."

"I'd be the same way, especially because people can't accept it."

"Well I'm glad you have accepted it."

§§§

It was finally the day of the party, and Derek came over early in the morning to help Y/N set everything up and cook, which would take forever.

"Ok, so I made the stuff I could premake last night. The deserts are in the fridge, and there is stuff in crockpots that just needs turned on." Y/N says as she speed walks around her house. She's a perfectionist, so her house is spotless, and the decorations are to her liking, and it was snowing, so nothing could ruin today.

Derek opens the fridge to pull out the crockpots and sees that she wasn't kidding when she said she bought enough food to feed the United States Army.

"Well it's a good thing Scott and Stiles can eat."

Y/N just gives him a big smile before continuing on.

§§§

"Y/N. When are you and Derek going to accept the fact that you guys are in love with each other." Lydia asks as she stirs the hot chocolate.

"Lydia." Y/N hisses. "He can hear you."

Lydia just rolls her eyes, knowing Stiles is keeping Derek's ears occupied.

"Oh, come on. He looks at you with pure love and adoration. You know he only acts the way he does because he thinks he's protecting himself."

"Why would he need to protect himself from me?" Y/N asks as she finishes the mashed potatoes.

"Because you came along right after Laura was murdered." Lydia pauses. "He told me that you are Laura in a different body. It scares him and makes him sad." She admits.

Y/N snaps her eyes to Lydia's, finally realizing why he was so cold towards her. Everything anyone's told Y/N about Laura reminds her of herself.

"Why didn't he just say something to me, instead of picking arguments with me every time he sees me." Y/N asks quietly.

"Because like Lydia said. I was scared." Derek's voice cut through the Christmas music playing quietly in the kitchen. "I was scared I'd lose you, like I lost Laura, so I figured if you hated me I wouldn't feel this way about you. It never has and it never will work."

Lydia walks out of the kitchen and into the living room with everyone else.

"I'm sorry that you felt that way Derek. I never meant to make you upset." Y/N says.

"Don't apologize. If anyone's apologizing it should be me. I've treated you so badly all of these years when all you wanted to do was help all of them."

"You too." Y/N exhales. "I wanted to help you too."

"Well since Christmas is "The time of forgiveness", maybe you could forgive me?" Derek asks hopefully while coming closer to her.

"That's true, so you are forgiven." Y/N kisses his cheek.

"Now maybe my New Years Resolution should be to make you mine."

"I wouldn't be opposed."

Broken Hearts Club [Kelly Severide]

Description: Kelly Severide has made Y/N an official member of the Broken Hearts Club.

Warnings: Cheating, Cursing (are we surprised? no. ok.)

Y/N and Kelly had been dating for a year before Stella Kidd showed up. Stella was a absolute goddess. Beautiful hair, perfect smile, amazing personality and excellent firefighter skills. What was there not to love? Kelly obviously took notice of her, and even started to hang out with her instead of his girlfriend.

Y/N thought it might've been because she was new, and she was a firefighter, instead of a paramedic like Y/N, so they had plenty in common, but when Kelly started canceling on Y/N she grew suspicious.

Gabby and Y/N had gone out for drinks one night after they got off work. Gabby had a falling out with Matt, and she was currently staying with Y/N, so they figured they’d go get dinner and drinks together. Y/N was supposed to have dinner with Kelly, but of course, he canceled last minute.

"I heard Ambo 52 had a guy with a python biting his arm and it wrapped around his arm. Kristy and Zach were too afraid to touch the snake." Gabby says as they walk down the sidewalk. Y/N briefly chuckles at the story before going back to her somber mood. Gabby turns her head towards Y/N and her heart breaks for her. She knew how much Y/N loved Kelly, but she also knew how much of an asshole he'd been the past two months. "Hey, why don't we stop by and see Severide. He said he had to help Kidd with something at Molly's right?" Y/N nods.

"Yeah. Something about fixing the wall and shelves, or hanging shelves on the wall? I'm not sure. The phone call only lasted like forty seconds."

"Then let's go." Gabby says and loops her arm with Y/N's before heading towards Molly's.

§§§

Once they make it to the bar, they say hello to everyone they know before heading over to Otis.

"Hey Otis." Y/N says.

"Hey guys, what's up." He replies as he cleans a glass.

"We stopped by to see Severide, any idea where he is?" Gabby asks as she sits on a barstool.

"He should be in the back putting up a shelf. He asked Stella to hold it up for him." Otis says and nods his head to the back room. Y/N nods.

"Ok, can I have four beers?" She passes him a twenty dollar bill and Otis grabs four beers for her. "I'm going to take one to Kelly and Stella. I'll be back." Y/N grabs two beers and starts walking to the back.

She enters the hallway and notices that she can't hear any voices, or tools. She thought they might be concentrating, trying to get the shelf level, or they aren't even back there.

She couldn't have been any more wrong.

She steps in the open doorway and looks at the sight in front of her. Kelly has Stella pinned up against the wall, their lips pressed together. Once her head catches up with her eyes, she drops the beers and gasps. Stella pulls away and catches Y/N's eyes.

"Kel-Kelly." By time he pulled away, Y/N had already turned around and started towards the bar. She grabs the beer she ordered and walks out the door before anyone can ask her anything.

Kelly runs down the hall and meets Gabby and Otis' confused faces. When Gabby sees Kelly's appearance she immediately knows what's going on.

"Where'd she go?" Kelly asks. Gabby stands up and moves in his way.

"Just stop. I think you've done enough." Then Gabby grabs her beer and follows Y/N out the door.

Kelly watches as the door slams shut. He knew he fucked up when he saw the look on Gabby's face.

"Damnit!" He yells and kicks a barstool before turning back and going down the hall.

§§§

Gabby sat down next to Y/N on the curb. She took one look at her eyes and immediately knew how much this has hurt her. Mentally and emotionally. They sit there in silence while tears roll down Y/N's face.

"I thought he loved me." Y/N sobs. Gabby wraps her arm around Y/N and lets her lean her head on her shoulder.

Welcome to the Broken Hearts Club Y/N.

Home For Christmas [Grayson Dolan] 🎄

Description: Grayson's ex will be at the Christmas party he is attending. Y/N pretends to be Grayson’s fiancé.

Warnings: Cursing, cheating ex?

A/N Day 10 of 12 Days of Christmas!

Grayson immediately panicked when he heard that Giselle was going to the Christmas party. And who does he call when he panics?

Well, Ethan, but Ethan couldn't help him this time.

He called Y/N, the twins best friend.

"Gray. I just got in bed, and we just got off the phone like forty-five minutes ago." She whines.

"Y/N/N this is important!" He exclaims. "Giselle is going to the Christmas party!"

"How'd you not know that? She goes every year when she can." She wonders.

"That's not important! Do you not remember what I told her when we broke up?"

"Yeah I remember your dumbass saying "Oh I'll have a girlfriend the next time you see me and then you'll realize what you lost.". Is that what you're talking about?" Y/N asks sarcastically. "Not that I don't agree with the last part." She adds.

"Yes." Grayson sighs. "I know it was dumb, but I need you to do something for me."

"Like what?"

"I need you to pretend to be my fiancé."

"You're joking right?"

§§§

The twins, Y/N and Ethans fiancé, Noel, had all flown to Jersey to spend Christmas with the twins family.

Grayson had bought a engagement ring and gave it to Y/N after explaining the situation to Ethan and Noel, who both thought Grayson was insane.

"So how are we going to explain this to the rest of your family?" Y/N asks as they get out of the car to get their bags and bring them inside.

"Well they all already know I like you so they won't question that." Grayson says nonchalantly before going inside, leaving Y/N standing there in shock.

§§§

"I can't believe you're going to marry my baby! Oh I'm so happy!" Lisa exclaims while bear hugging Y/N.

She had seen the ring on Y/N's finger during Christmas Eve dinner and questioned her, but Grayson explained before she could.

"Congratulations! We were all waiting for this to happen." Cameron says.

See, that's the thing. With Grayson's comment the day before, they still hadn't had time to talk about it, and Y/N was still wondering what exactly he meant, but with the way his family is acting, she's getting really confused.

He's never seemed to have those feelings before now.

§§§

Grayson walks into the living room the next morning with a cup of coffee for Y/N,  just how she likes it and sits in the rocking chair before pulling her down in his lap.

Y/N was about to lose her mind. He acted like this was totally normal. Could he not see how confused she was?

They still hadn't had time to talk about it, because they couldn't get any time alone. There was either always family around or Grayson was busy doing "man" things with Ethan.

She planned to finally talk to him about it while they were getting ready for the party after they were done with presents.

"You guys excited for the Christmas Party?" Lisa asks.

"Yeah, it will be great." Grayson says and smiles up at Y/N.

"Yeah, it will be fun."

§§§

"Gray, I have a few questions." Y/N starts as she brushes her hair out.

"Yeah?"

"The other day when we got here, you said that your family already knew that you like me. What does that mean?" She asks as she watches him do his hair.

"Well, I've always had feelings for you Y/N. I thought you already knew that?" Grayson looks at her through the mirror with a confused expression, just like hers.

"You seriously think that you would have dated that cheating bitch if I knew you had feelings for me too?"

"You have feelings for me too?"

"Yes, you idiot!" Y/N chuckles.

Grayson was going to respond, but Ethan knocked on the door.

"Guys it's time to go!"

They both look at each other.

"We'll talk more later?" Grayson asks. Y/N nods and opens the door, finally feeling a weight lifted off of her shoulders.

§§§

At the party Grayson searched the room for his ex, but didn't see her.

"So where's Giselle?" Y/N asks as she wraps her hand around his bicep.

"I'm not sure. Her parents are here." He nods to the older couple across the room.

"She can't be too far then, unless she actually isn't coming." Y/N says.

"Yeah, I'd be ok with that though."

The party was great. Y/N and Grayson danced, ate, drank, took pictures with family and friends and played some games.

It felt right. Like she is supposed to be by Grayson's side and seeing just how happy everyone is about their "engagement" made her wish it was real.

They had said their goodbyes and went back to Lisa's house around ten at night, but Grayson and Y/N weren't ready to go to sleep.

"Let's go ice skate." Grayson says as he pulls out two pairs of skates. His and a pair for Y/N he had gotten specifically for their rink.

Y/N nods and follows Grayson outside. They put their skates on in silence, but once they get on the ice, they start to talk.

"It feels nice being here with you and the rest of your family, not just as your friend, even if it isn't real."

"It could be real. If you wanted it to be." Grayson says quietly as he gets closer to her.

"Us being together, or engaged?"

"How about both? I know you've been ready to settle down, and so have I. We know each other inside and out." Grayson pulls her close to him, engulfing her in his arms.

"I don't want you to settle for me though. If there is some girl that could make you really happy I want you to be with her." Y/N says as she looks into his eyes.

"The only woman who can make me really happy, in that way, is you." He admits.

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure?" Grayson counters. Y/N nods. "So will you let me bring you home for Christmas every year?" He leans in.

"Of course." Y/N presses her lips to his and wraps her arms around him as best as she can.

When they finally let go of each other, Grayson smiles at her.

"I love you Y/N."

"I love you too Gray."

Summers End [Jake Nolan]

Description: The morning after the last day of the lifeguards season includes food, back rubs, paddle boarding, kisses and cuddles.

Warnings: PURE CUTENESS. I don’t remember any cussing but it is a given by now. 

The bright morning light breaks through the cracks in the curtains, and hits Y/N right in the face, making her open her eyes.

"Ugh. Nope." Then she squeezes her eyes shut.

A light chuckle from underneath her makes her eyes open again.

"Poor baby." Jake says, his voice deeper from sleeping.

"What time is it?" Y/N asks as she cuddles into him.

"Seven-thirty." Jake replies and leans down to press a kiss to her lips.

"First day off in forever and I only sleep in until seven-thirty? I am suing whoever came up with that." Jake laughs at his girlfriends comment and starts to move. He ends up laying on his side facing her.

"We don't have to get out of bed." He says and presses another kiss to her lips.

"You and I both know we can't stay in bed all day. You're too hyper for that."

"Well, you're not wrong." Jake admits. He sits up in bed and cracks his back. "I'm hungry." Y/N laughs and gets out of the bed and walks into the kitchen. Jake follows and watches her as she looks through the cabinets.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Y/N asks as she stands on her tiptoes to reach a box so she can read it. The stretch makes her shorts and shirt ride up, which in turn makes Jake stare at her. "Babe?" Y/N closes the cabinet and looks over at him. She immediately realizes what he's doing and knows exactly what he's about to say. "Jake Nolan do not even say what I think you're going to say unless you want to cook for yourself, and everyone knows you can't cook, so you'll be eating raw eggs." She threatens. Jake nods and turns to look in the other cabinets. She knew damn well her boyfriend did not have any type of filter, so whatever he thinks, he says.

"How about pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon?" Jake suggests. Y/N nods and turns her speaker on, blasting music in the house. Y/N starts singing while making the food until a certain song comes on. No One by Alicia Keys, Y/N's absolute favorite song.

Her eyes light up and she turns to Jake. Ever since they started dating, every time they were together and the song would come on she would stop what she was doing and sing to Jake. She walks over to him, wraps her arms around his body, and leans her head on his chest.

"I just want you close. Where you can stay forever. You can be sure, that it will only get better." She sings and Jake sways them.

He loves when she does this. He wouldn't tell her, but sometimes he would play the song when he feels anxious or upset because it makes him feel better. All of the lifeguards knew about their little tradition. It didn't take them long to find out because the day after it first happened Jake was humming the tune in the tower while he was with Harries, and Harries questioned Jake about it which led to the entirety of the Waverly Council Lifeguards knowing about the significance of the song in under twenty-four hours.

After the song finished Jake pulled Y/N in for a long kiss and once they pulled away he grabbed her face and squished her cheeks together.

"You know I love you right? More than I could ever love anybody else."

"I know, and I love you too." Y/N replies.

§§§

After cleaning up the mess from breakfast Jake took a shower while Y/N continued to clean their house, and after his shower she went in and took one, still blasting music. Jake just put on shorts and flopped back onto the bed to wait for Y/N. He was on his stomach looking on his phone for engagement rings when the bathroom door opened. Jake freaked out and immediately locked his phone.

"What do you want to do today?" Y/N asks as she straddles his back and starts rubbing it.

"Paddle boarding, but if you keep rubbing my back I'm going to fall asleep." Jake replies and closes his eyes. Y/N laughs and leans down to kiss his cheek.

"You're like a adorable cuddly puppy."

"Babe, I am not a puppy."

"Yeah. Ok."

§§§

"Jake I swear if you run into me again-!"

Splash.

Jake starts dying of laughter when he sees Y/N resurface. The look on her face told him everything he needed to know.

She was going to kick his ass.

"Awe, baby! You look so cute!" Jake exclaims.

Y/N gets back on her board and grabs the paddle before jamming it into Jake's board, causing him to lose balance and fall into the water.

She laughs and sits down on her board. Jake resurfaces next to her board and jumps on with her.

"Your board is gonna start going to shore." Y/N says.

"Eh, let it. We'll paddle in together."

"You just want to stare at my ass." Y/N laughs.

"That's part of it, yes." Jake replies and smiles at his girlfriend. Y/N smiles back and leans in to kiss him.

"Love you too babe."

§§§

After Y/N helped Jake load the boards and paddles into his truck he helped her down from the bed of said truck by picking her up by her thighs, but he didn't put her down.

"I'm gonna fall!" Y/N exclaims and grabs his shoulders.

"You're not going to fall!"

"I don't trust that statement!" Jake chuckles and finally sets her down by the passenger door. Y/N goes to open the door but realizes it's still locked. "Why's the truck still locked?" Jake gives her a cheeky smile. "Jake, I'm cold. Unlock the truck."

"Give me a kiss and I'll think about it." Y/N gives him a quick peck and gestures for his keys. "I know I've kissed you like, ten times, but just like another ten, please?" Jake negotiates.

"One more, then you let me in the truck and then we'll talk." Y/N counters.

"I can work with that."

The day after the last day of summer was one for the books.

Wrapping Paper [Quinn Hughes] 🎄

Description: Quinn can't wrap gifts to save his life. Y/N is his neighbor and can help.

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas!

"Mom, I have no idea what I am doing." Quinn whines to Ellen through the phone.

He's trying to wrap presents, and it's not going well.

"Well did you watch a video honey? Maybe that can help." Ellen suggests.

Quinn tries to pull the wrapping paper and accidentally rips it. "Damnit." He mumbles. "I did watch a video, it just doesn't work."

"Well, do you know anyone there that can help you?" She asks.

"None of the boys know how to." Quinn says, setting scissors down.

"How about Y/N? You guys always say that she knows how to fix and do everything."

Y/N is Quinn's neighbor and a photographer for the canucks. He has a tiny crush on her, but we don't talk about that.

"Mom. I am not asking Y/N to help me wrap presents." He sighs.

"Why not? She's always told you if you ever need anything just let her know." Ellen questions. She really didn't understand why he couldn't just ask Y/N for help. She's a really sweet girl.

"Because I'm twenty years old and this is embarrassing." He replies. He tosses the scissors on the carpeted floor and runs a hand through his hair. "Maybe I should just get bags."

Ellen laughs. "You do what you want honey, but I know Y/N will help you and not even question it."

"Ok mom." Quinn sighs, again. "Well I know it's late there so tell Luke and dad I love and miss them."

"I will. Goodbye Quinn, I love you."

"Love you too mom."

They hang up and Quinn looks around his living room, at all of the presents he needed to wrap.

"This is going to take forever."

"So Quinn, how is present wrapping going?" Brock asks after practice.

"It's been like three days and I only have two done slightly correct. So if that tells you anything." Quinn replies, taking his helmet off.

"Dude, just ask Y/N. Have you been to her place lately? She's got everything wrapped perfectly under her tree. I even had her wrap that one toy for my nephew."

Y/N walks over to the bench and greets everyone.

"Hey guys, were doing the Christmas pictures today just let me know when you want to start."

Everyone gives her a "ok" and she goes back to set up her camera to take pictures of the rest of practice.

After practice and the Christmas pictures and videos were all done Brock, Elias and Quinn were all walking to the vehicle they carpooled in to go home and play video games when they saw Y/N walking to her car.

So, as any teammate would, Brock decided to take advantage of it and help Quinn out.

"Hey Y/N!" He exclaims. Quinn shoved him and gave him a death glare while Elias just giggled. She turns around and stops to wait for them.

"Hey Brock, what's up?" She asks, shifting her bag on her shoulder.

"Could you help Quinny wrap his presents? He's struggling." Brock side eyes Quinn, who rolls his eyes.

"Yeah of course! Just let me know when you get home and I'll come over and help you?" She questions.

"Yeah! Thank you." Quinn shyly replies.

"No problem! You guys have fun playing video games." She says before she gets into her car and drives off.

"See Quinn. She's a sweetheart, you don't have to be afraid to talk to her." Brock chuckles, throwing his stuff in the car.

"I'm not afraid to talk to her." Quinn pouts.

"Yeah ok." Elias pipes in.

"Shut up Petey."

§§§

After getting home, Quinn texted Y/N and told her he was home and she replied a few minutes later saying she'd be over soon.

He looked around his apartment and decided to pick up stuff he'd thrown around randomly.

If only Jack and Luke could see him. They'd never let him hear the end of it. He can hear their voices in his head already.

"Quinn's got a crush."

"Quinn's whipped."

Whatever floats their boat.

His doorbell rang and he scanned around one last time to make sure it didn't look like a complete pigsty before opening it.

"Hey, thanks for coming over."

"You don't need to thank me. I've got brothers, I understand wrapping presents isn't really a guys thing." She laughs.

"Especially not mine." Quinn laughs with her.

§§§

After an hour, all of the presents were wrapped, labeled and decorated with bows. Y/N even sort of taught him how to wrap presents.

"I know you just taught me but I might just have to keep asking you to help me because I actually really like spending time with you." Quinn says, watching her write on a tag for Lukes gift.

"I like spending time with you too. You're a great person Quinn."

"Thank you. I think you're great too." He smiles. "So, would you maybe want to stay and watch a movie with me? I'll order us food." He offers.

"Yeah, that sounds great." She smiles.

Later after eating and while they were in the middle of the movie, Quinn gets a text.

Brock

So did your presents get wrapped Quinny?
