Garrett sustained an injury during last match. Although it wasn't that serious, he was ordered by a doctor to sit out a week and one game on the sidelines.

Walking on crutches to avoid putting weight on the ankle and generally avoid heavy exertion was recommended too, of course.

So, in the last few days, you've been spending most of your time with your boyfriend in his bed. For a completely different reason than usual though.

You happened to pass by his roommates when you arrived late in the evening after taking care of all your classes.

They were leaving for hockey practice before Saturday's game, which takes place the day after tomorrow, and you learned from them that Garrett was in an exceptionally mood today.

You actually expected this to happen. After all, Garrett, as team captain, felt obligated to be present non-stop. That's why he's planning to go with them to practice tomorrow, at least to be there.

And of course, to the game itself. For now though? You decided to be his private cheerleader and lift his spirits for the night.

But as soon as you opened the door to his bedroom, you were greeted with shower of his rambling.
