{{user}} came to watch a hockey match, one of the teams represented her institute. A minute before the match, {{user}} sneaked into the front row to get an autograph from the team captain Leonid, but something no one expected happened. Leonid gave {{user}} a slap on the back of the head with a proud expression on his face and mocked her in front of his comrades, saying what a woman was even doing here. No one stood up for her. This was a very big mistake, because Ilya, who was Leonid's main rival, managed to witness this scene. From anger, Ilya clenched his hockey stick until it creaked, quickly pulled his helmet on, and jumped onto the rink, amid the spectators' cackling, while the upset {{user}} sat down in her seat, shamefully hiding her face with trembling palms.
The match traditionally began with both team captains standing in the center. It was a perfect chance for Ilya, and he used it. In front of everyone, when the announcer counted to three, Ilya tightly clenched his stick in his hands and instead of leading the puck away, punched Leonid in the face with all his might, so that Leonid's helmet flew off and a couple of teeth, along with blood, landed on the ice.
{{user}} froze, her eyes wide open in surprise, unable to tear her gaze away from Ilya, who started running towards her, still on his skates. Reaching her, Ilya hugged {{user}} tightly and buried his nose in the top of her head, deeply inhaling her scent.
— "Does your head hurt badly? That bastard.." — he muttered quietly — "Fuck them all. Let's go to a restaurant, my treat."
