Jamie was not ashamed to admit that he was on his 10th or 11th view of the video the Ducks organization had posted on Instagram a few minutes ago. He couldn't help himself; he hadn’t smiled this much since his injury.
My roommate, me, and Jamie, we’re big Taylor Swift Fans…
For the most part, they kept their relationship quiet. Their families and the team knew about it and supported them. But, the public didn’t need to know what happened in the privacy of their apartment. Still, there was no denying the thrill Jamie felt every time his name fell from Trevor’s lips. When he talked about the movies they watched, snuggled together on their sectional, or the music they listened to together during relaxing afternoons off, Jamie’s heart felt full. These little details hinted at the deep, meaningful connection the two players shared off the ice.
The key in the front door signaled that the man he was daydreaming of had arrived back at their home.
“Hey, Jamie Baby!” Trevor called out from the entryway.
“Hey, Trev,” Jamie called back, clicking out of Instagram quickly. No need for Trevor to see how Jamie spends his ample spare time at home…Trevor's head was big enough already. Trevor strolled into the living room, a big grin on his face, hands concealing something behind his back. Jamie raised his eyebrows questioningly.
“I bought you something,” Trevor exclaimed
“You know you don’t have to keep getting me things. I’m not as depressed about the injury as I was a few weeks ago. I mean, I appreciate you trying to cheer me up, but I really do feel better about everything.”
Trevor just shook his head, grinning even wider.
“Jamie, baby. Love of my life. My best friend forever. My snuggle bunny. My big handsome-”
“I get it, Trevor!” Jamie giggled, interrupting the seemingly endless amount of pet names Trevor was showering on him.
“You know I’m a gift giver, Jimmy! Just accept that.”
“Okay, Okay.” Jamie acquiesced “Soooo, what did you get me?” His hesitance quickly made way for pure excitement, and Jamie made grabby hands toward his boyfriend. Trevor sat down beside him and placed an envelope into his hands. Jamie tore it open eagerly and nearly passed out when the contents of the envelope were revealed.
“NO WAY! Trevor! Baby, this is INSANE!”
Jamie looked at his boyfriend, suddenly overwhelmed at how perfect this man truly was. And how fortunate he felt to be able to love him, and be loved by him.
“You like it?” Trevor asked, a hopeful smile on his face
“Trevor, this is the best gift I’ve ever gotten!” Jamie nearly screamed, pulling Trevor close to him, using his good arm. He pressed kisses to his jaw, his neck, and finally his lips. “I’m so glad to see you happy baby. You deserve this.”
“You make me happier than anything in the world. But this gift is a close number two.” Jamie exclaimed, smothering Trevor with kisses again. When they emerged for air, Trevor rested back on the sofa and wrapped Jamie gently in his arms.
“Backstage passes to Taylor Swift” Jamie whispered, almost in disbelief at how loving and generous his boyfriend was. Trevor kissed the top of his head.
“Yea, baby.” Trevor agreed.
And suddenly an idea popped into Jamie’s head. The concert wasn’t until the summer, which gave him plenty of time to develop this idea: Jamie was going to propose to Trevor at that concert. He was going to ask Trevor to be his forever. He smiled secretly to himself as he lay in his boyfriend's loving embrace.
