Long Distance
Tumblr media
i got a request a while ago about long distance nate and i cant find it but here you go!
Things with Nate had always been easy. He was easy to read, spend time with, and to love. When you spend the majority of your teen life loving the same person things follow a routine. Practice, games, workouts, pregame naps, and post-game dinners. It was easy, and now thinking back it was too easy. 
Then suddenly, everything got complicated, extremely complicated. Nate got drafted, and he was leaving. You knew it was the best thing that ever happened to him, it was what he had dreamed of forever. And it was finally coming true. 
Nate stayed near you most of the night; he had carried a slight hint of regret or sadness since the draft hung heavy. His family threw a small party for the people that mattered most. The room that held the party was hot; the number of people and the excited energy suddenly suffocated. 
Kissing Nate on the cheek you wormed your way toward the door heading for the cold Canadian night. Wrapping your jacket around your body tighter, you found a planter out front to reside, the cold brick structure seeping through your jeans as you forced a few deep breaths. 
You sat long enough to start shivering, then the door opened and slammed closed. Lifting your head, Nate came around the corner; his hands pushed into his jeans pockets. 
“Hi superstar,” You smiled. 
“Why are you out here all alone?” He asked, seeming confused. “You know how cold you always are; what’re you doing?” 
“Just needed a break; it was kinda hot in there” You shrugged. 
Nate sniffled and nodded, moving to sit down, taking his hands from his pockets. 
“I’m super excited for you,” you smiled, bumping his shoulder. 
“I’m nervous” He hums, leaning into the bump just a little. “Denver is far,” he said.
You nodded leaning into him.
“I’ve heard it's a lot like home” You tried to soothe his nerves. 
“People keep saying that,” he sighed, pausing and breathing. “We’ll make this work, we always have” 
Nate left for Denver two days later
That was three years ago.
Just like Nate said, we made it work. It wasn't easy like the rest of our relationship had been but we did what we could. Sometimes your school schedule lined up nicely with his; other times, it didn't. Nate sent you a weekly schedule, practices, and games to make things easier. But it was starting to feel like the phone calls and texts weren't enough.
“Why don't you just go see him?” 
You sighed; that was easier said than done unless it wasn't. 
There was a three-hour time difference between you and Nate, as you were up late as a facetime call came through on my laptop. Pushing the suitcase to the floor to hide it, you sat at your desk, answering the call. 
“Hi, my love,” you smiled, leaning in just a little. 
He was at his desk, a gaming setup more than anything. He smiled, wide and soft and you took a deep breath. 
“Hi,” he said, looking at you. “How was class?”
“Long, and I have a stupid paper to write” you chuckled at the idea of complaining about a paper to a pro hockey player. 
Nate chuckled along with you shaking his head. 
“You’ll kick that paper's ass” He smiled, his eyes crinkling in the corners. 
“How was practice?” you asked, changing the subject, wanting to hear his voice. 
“It was good, we did a few new drills, and I’m sore. But EJ was messing with Gabe the whole time, so it was good.” 
“I can’t wait to meet this guy,” you laughed, shaking your head, thinking through all the stories Nate has shared. 
“He’s going to love you, Gabe, too.” 
“Baby, you think all of them will love me.” 
“That’s because they will” He pushed an eyebrow.
 You took a deep breath and took a second to take him in. 
“You okay, pretty girl?” He hummed, his voice lowering slightly. 
You rested your jaw on the heel of your hand, nodding. 
“What’s goin’ on in that head?” He leaned in, smirking. 
“Just missin’ you,” you whispered. 
Nate leaned back and took a deep breath; you gently sucked on your tongue, looking at him. 
“You know what I was thinking about last night?” 
“Huh?”
“You remember the first few months we were dating, and I would come over to do homework at your place, and we would be in your room, and your dad would just open the door and look at us, tell us he was “just making sure you kids don't need anything.” 
Nate imitated your dad perfectly, making you laugh out loud. He joined you in my laughter as we both leaded back in our chairs. 
“He used to do that all the time,” you choked out through your laughter. 
You and Nate kept laughing until it died, and you just looked at each other. You tilted your head to the side and looked at him, taking a deep breath.
“God, I miss you,” He crooned. 
“Nate” you whimpered. 
“I’m sorry baby, I just,” he stopped and breathed. “It’s been a long time, and I feel like it's my fault.” 
“Nathan, you are living your dream. That is never something you need to apologize for, especially not to me.”
He nodded and swallowed. 
The longer you and Nate talked, the deeper the pit in your stomach got; you physically missed him. Your body ached for his touch, just to hug him and feel him holding you.
“Okay, baby,” Nate breathed. “I have practice in the morning, so I should get to bed.” 
You nodded. 
“Oh hey, I forgot to tell you I’ll have my phone off for most of the day tomorrow. We have like a whole day of testing, and I won’t be able to talk much” You gave a tight smile. 
“Okay, sweetheart, I just have practice, then the game, so I’ll send you a text when I get home, and we’ll facetime for a bit. You're gonna kick ass tomorrow” He gave a shining smile.
“You too” You matched his smile and took a breath. “I’ll try to get back to catch some of the game.” 
“Don’t stress yourself out about it,” He tried. 
“I wanna see you play, so I’ll try, but if not, I can just ask you a million questions when you get home.” 
“Deal. I love you, sweet girl” Nates' smile was sad this time. 
“I love you, Nate” you felt yourself tearing up as he blew a kiss. You repeated his action, then hung up, the screen of your laptop showing your face in the camera. You sighed, pulling your knees to your chest. 
You needed to finish packing. 
It wasn't long before you were done; you were gone for two weeks, so you packed your favorite things, things Nate liked, then lastly packed up your laptop, charger, and other items of that nature. Then you went to bed. 
Your flight to Denver was at 1 pm, the dread of a 10+ hour travel day ahead was daunting. But knowing Nate was on the other side blissfully unaware was the best part of all of it. You took the train to the airport and checked in. The flight was seven hours, with a layover in Toronto; you texted a few people as you got through security, doing your best not to blow your surprise as you got on your plane and started the adventure. 
It turns out the Toronto airport is a great place to nap and by the time you landed in Denver, you were practically vibrating with excitement. The game was almost over, so you watched the last 10 minutes in the Uber to Nate’s condo. Thankfully the Avs won. You used the spare key on top of his door frame; you needed to talk to him about that and let yourself in. 
Just as you imagined, it was clean, like his place back home. You hid your bags in his bedroom and took a deep breath. As you paced the kitchen, your phone went off. 
“Hi squish, headed home now. Let me know when you can facetime.” 
You didn't answer or even open it, hoping he thought you were testing or just not home yet. You knew he didn't live far from the arena, and the more time that passed, the more nervous you got, waiting for the lock on the door to click. Your heart was racing leaning on the island in his kitchen. 
Finally, it happened. The lock on the front door clicked. You took a deep breath and heard Nate come in, whistling some song that was probably playing in the dressing room after the game. You swallowed and waited. Nate took a few seconds to come into view, wearing the burgundy suit he had sent you pictures of at the beginning of the season. You shifted, and Nate’s head snapped up, his eyes widening when he saw you. 
“Baby?” he asked, his bag dropping near his feet. 
“Hi, superstar” 
“You…” he trailed off, taking a few stumbling steps toward you.
“I’m really here” You smiled, walking around the island into Nate’s outstretched arms. He pulled you against him, tucking his face into your bare neck. You both started to sob, holding each other tighter than ever. Nate reached down, grabbing at the back of your thighs, pulling you off the ground, wrapping your legs around his hips so he could be that much closer. Nate started mumbling, “I love yous’” mixed with “I can’t believe you’re here,” pressing his soft, warm lips to your ear and neck repeatedly. You rubbed his back between his shoulders, feeling more of Nate’s tears dripping onto your skin. 
He eventually set you down, his face coming into view as his warm hands cupped your cheeks.
“Holy shit,” he breathed, leaning in, pressing his lips down on yours. “I can’t-can't believe you’re here” he smiled, kissing you again in a series of pecks. 
You smiled as Nate thumbed a few tears away, kissing you deeply.
“Hi baby,” you finally got out, smiling at him.
“How long are you here?” he asked, finally stepping away. 
“You have me for two weeks.” 
“Well goddamn, we’ve gotta make it count don't we.”

The Mikko interaction has me laughing so hard. Kurtis sounds like such a sweetheart. Big man, big heart, I guess. Also, Bowen having a messy car sounds about right. I'm always curious about what Bo and Cale are like outside of the rink. So, what are they like? Lol
mikko is the funniest bitch in the world tbh. and yes kurt is literally the love of my life and is the kindest person ever. bo is a walking disaster and is the loudest man ever for no reason. and cale is quiet, so kind and very "normal" if that makes sense. the best way to put it is, Cale is just a guy. he also puts his sunglasses on at the speed of light and i worry hes gonna poke an eye out.

Have you had any recent interactions with the guys?
full enough yeah i have!
recently mikko and i talked in the practice facility parking lot, it was the day after the ducks game. i parked and he was walking by me toward the dumpsters and he goes
"GOOD MORNING!" (mind you we were maybe 15-20 feet away from each other) and i said good morning back and asked how he was and he made a fully little face and goes "meh." then i proceeded to ask if it was a full practice or not and he goes "oh no no full practice we fucked UP" the last time we had talked was right after i turned 21 so he asked me how i was liking that and what i like to drink, and he told me he likes vodka" a lot"
then the avs had a little event at a car wash right by where i work given that the carwash is a new sponsor of the team and it was Alex Newhook and Kurtis Macdermid (two of my favorites)
and i talked to both of them for about 45 minutes each, got a broken stick Kurt gave me at practice signed and then i ran my car through the car wash and i am small and i drive an SUV. my car is black and i usually dry it after i wash it and there are spots i cant reach and kurt ran over and goes "let me give you a hand!" and helped me dry my car.
