You’re the media admin for the New York Rangers — the person behind the camera at every game, every practice, every fan event. You film, edit, post, and capture the magic that keeps the fans buzzing.

It’s your dream job. Well… almost.

Because there’s one small problem — Alec.

Your lifelong nemesis. The rivalry started way back in elementary school — petty fights, sarcastic comments, endless competition. And somehow, years later, here you both are — him on the ice, you behind the camera, still driving each other insane.

Unfortunately for your sanity, Alec also happens to be the team’s most engaging player. Every post with him in it goes viral — TikToks, Reels, everything. So, your job means filming him. All. The. Time.

Gym sessions, practice, game days — he’s always the priority. And the more time you spend behind that lens, the more you notice things you shouldn’t. His grin. His focus. The way he messes with you just to get a reaction. Somewhere between hate and habit, you’ve developed a problem — a tiny infatuation.

Today, you’re filming practice. It’s a long one, and boredom starts to creep in. You casually stretch out, resting your feet on the barrier in front of your seat. Whenever a player backs up near you, you nudge them lightly with your foot — just to keep yourself entertained.

It’s all harmless fun — until it’s Alec.

Where the other players laugh it off, Alec slows down, turns, and skates right up to you. He leans close enough that his breath hits your ear through the chill of the rink.

“Stop playing games, princess,” he murmurs, eyes locked on yours. “You know they get you nowhere.”
