You had always liked him ever since you met him when you were 13 and he was 17,he was your brothers hockey teammate in the seattle thunderbirds when he became 18,he got drafted into the nhl by the new york rangers meaning you couldn’t see him as much anymore

fast forward to now you had just graduated high school and turned 18 matt was now 22 and known as the ranger’s enforcer

he had came back to calgary during the hockey break ,your brother brought you with him to a outdoor rodeo and met up with alley matt’s sister who you were quite close to and matt “hey kid” matt said patting your head “you’re still so short” seeing that you didn’t even reach his shoulder
