As the sun dipped low, casting a gentle glow over the bustling streets of Vancouver, you strolled alongside your boyfriend, Quinn Hughes. The city buzzed with its usual activity, providing a comforting backdrop to your conversation on this typical Thursday evening. And with the promise of a hockey-free weekend on the horizon, a mischievous idea had crept into your mind â sparked by a popular TikTok challenge that had been gaining traction online.
In recent weeks, you'd seen numerous videos of people teasingly calling their boyfriends "husbands," while recording their partners' bewildered reactions for entertainment. And intrigued by the trend, you couldn't resist the urge to try it out with Quinn.
After nearly three years of shared laughter and cherished moments in your relationship, you were confident that Quinn would find the prank amusing, perhaps even earning a reaction with a hint of panic. So, with a playful glint in your eye, you had naturally shared your plan with your closest friend, enlisting her help in pulling off the light-hearted prank.
As youâd proposed the idea, your friend, always up for TikTok trends, had eagerly agreed to assist. Youâd decided on arranging a double date, which wouldnât be out of the ordinary, planning for you to execute the prank while she would discreetly film Quinn's reaction.
So, as you sat in a cosy, almost half-empty restaurant later that Thursday evening, the weight of your impending prank began to settle in. Excitement and nerves mingled in your chest, your fingers tapping restlessly on the tabletop as you waited for the perfect moment to put your plan into action.
And finally, the moment arrived, hanging in the air with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. As the waiter approached to take your orders, a surge of anxious energy coursed through you, your heart racing. Yet, with practiced ease, you smoothly transitioned into the pivotal moment. "And for my husband," you said, injecting a playful tone into your voice, "he'll have a glass of ice water and the pasta Bolognese."
The words hung in the air, a silent challenge to fate, while your best friend discreetly positioned her phone, ready to capture Quinn's genuine reaction.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment as Quinn's gaze shifted towards you, his expression a fleeting mix of surprise and curiosity. "Your what?" he murmured, his voice barely audible, yet you persisted, ignoring the amusement threatening your facade of confidence.
In that suspended moment, Quinn's initial reaction was genuine astonishment, his eyes widening in disbelief before a soft chuckle broke the tension like a gentle wave against the shore.Â
And as the waiter then walked away following taking all orders, he left behind echoes of laughter. Quinn then leaned closer towards you; his tone laced with mock seriousness. "Husband, huh?" he mused, a playful smirk on his lips. "Guess I'll need to update my resume."
It hadnât entirely been the shocked reaction youâd hoped for, yet you still found the situation undeniably amusing. Confessing the inspiration behind your jest, laughter filled the air. And as the night wore on, your little act slowly faded in the background.
However, unbeknownst to you, the innocent prank had sparked an idea in Quinn's mind.
Although he hadnât exactly expected to consider such a significant step already at the age of 24, the notion lingered, intriguing and compelling. As the eldest among his brothers and in his most serious relationship yet, Quinn had pondered the concept for some time. Heâd even briefly sought advice from his closest teammates on how to broach the subject, as heâd realised life was too short to wait for the perfect moment.
So, as he sat beside you, enveloped in shared laughter, he felt a newfound determination. With quiet resolve and a heart full of affection, he began laying the groundwork for a significant occasion, one that would hopefully change your relationship for the better.
A little over a week later, with the memory of your playful prank still fresh in his mind, Quinn found himself beyond excited and content about the idea. With determination coursing through him and a ring burning a silent promise in his pocket, heâd devised a plan.
His aim was to catch you off guard, to make the moment as unexpected as possible. And having noticed how you had emphasised the prank was nothing but a joke, he guessed your mind hadnât dwelled on such matters. Which made it the perfect opportunity.
So, returning to the very same restaurant Saturday evening where the idea had originated, Quinn carefully arranged the setting for the action. Despite the absence of a best friend discreetly recording the scene, the familiar ambiance of the restaurant's softly lit interior and the intimate corner table added a serene touch to the occasion. So with a steady hand and a heart brimming with love, Quinn recreated the scene.
As the waiter approached to take your orders, he took a deep breath, and with a voice filled with emotion, he echoed your words from days prior, "And for my wife, she'll have a glass of Champagne along with some water and the cheese, spinach ravioli, please."
Your eyes widened a little in slight disbelief as the words lingered in the air, blending with the gentle buzz of conversation around you, and a chuckle escaped your lips of amusement at Quinn's unexpected play. You simply couldnât help but laugh at the joke and how he replicated your playful tease from the other night with such precision.
âWife, huh?â You chuckled lightly. âGuess I deserved that one - though I do enjoy the sound of it.â
However, this time, it wasn't a prank. As the waiter departed, leaving behind a soft smile, your eyes met with Quinnâs, flashing him an entertained smile. Yet there was a seriousness in your boyfriendâs expression, a rare sight outside of the intensity of a hockey match, and a curious furrow creased your brow as you couldnât decipher his thoughts. But before you could ask him what was on his mind, Quinn gently rose from his seat, moving with deliberate grace to stand next to you.
âIâm glad you say that âcauseâŠâ
You shifted in your seat to face him, the air crackled with anticipation as he then slowly dropped to one knee, the world around you fading into insignificance, leaving only the man you loved, poised before you with a vulnerability that stole your breath away.
Your heart pounded in your chest as Quinn gently took out the little velvet box from his pocket, his brown eyes shining with an intensity that mirrored his deep emotions.Â
âY/n," he softly began. "I know you said it as a joke the other night, but... truth be told, it stuck with me. And I realised that⊠I do want to be your called husband. You mean everything to me. Without you, I'd be lost â even though I don't tell you enough, you make my every day brighter. I can't even begin to thank you enough for your endless support, for putting up with me and my career every single day. You never ask for anything, and yet you give so much love. I love you so so much, and I just can't imagine a future without you in it..."
With every heartfelt confession, your breath hitched in your throat, your mind swirling with the weight of his sentiments. Emotions surged within you, threatening to overflow as Quinn exposed his soul, sharing his fears and dreams for your future together.
And then came the question, hanging in the air like a fragile promiseâa question that held the power to shape your lives forever.
"Y/n, will you marry me?"
It felt surreal, like a dream woven from the threads of your deepest desires and fondest hopes. Quinn on his knee before you, his vulnerability a testament to the depth of his love. And in that moment, tears glistening in your eyes, and a smile tugging at the corners of your lips, there was only one right answer.
Though struggling to find the words, you willed your lips to move and your throat to vocalise the response.
"Yes... Quinn, of course," you replied with excitement, the sound of soft applauses rippling through the restaurant. And with a deep relieved sigh, and a satisfied smile illuminating his face, Quinn rose from his kneeling position, meeting you in a deep, heartfelt kiss.Â
Sealing the engagement your lips met with nothing but devotion, the world around you slowly dissolving, before breaking apart. Quinn's excitement was nothing short of palpable, his smile radiant as he carefully slipped the ring onto your finger, and he couldnât deny that this felt better than any hockey match win. Perhaps besides winning the Stanley Cup.Â
It was truly a beautiful ring. The diamond's shimmer mirrored the twinkle in his eyes as you admired the ring's delicate intricacies. And with a content smile, you shared another quick kiss before Quinn returned to his seat, and the waiter poured champagne to mark the occasion.
Raising your glasses in a toast, you again sealed the engagement with a clink, the bubbles dancing against your lips like promises of a future filled with love and joy. This moment was everything you had ever dreamed of. Though it had begun with a playful joke, it perfectly captured the essence of your relationshipâfull of laughter, love, and shared moments of joy.
And with your hands gently intertwined on the table, both admiring the new addition to your finger, you couldn't help but chuckle. "Looks like I really do need to update my resume," you playfully remarked, echoing Quinn's words from the other night.
And in response, your fiancĂ© merely chuckled, his eyes brimming with adoration as he kissed your hand and held your gaze with unwavering affection. "Yes, I suppose youâll have to," he smiled, his voice filled with promise and a love that knew no bounds.

warnings: use of she/her pronouns and y/n, fem!reader, luke being clingy and all lovey.
1. first day at the lake house
âYouâre here!â
You stumbled backwards as Lukeâs body engulfed you, the force from his run down the driveway to meet you, pushing you back. His arms held you tight to his chest, your body squished in his firm hold. You hadnât seen your boyfriend in three weeks, due to you visiting family, and to say the boy missed you would be an understatement.
âMissed you,â you breathed out, manoeuvring your arms around his waist.
"I missed you more," Luke mumbled into your hair, his voice low, only for you to hear. His grip tightened as if he feared you might disappear again if he let go. You could feel his heartbeat drumming against your chest, fast and steady, as you leaned further into his warmth.
Luke didnât move, relishing the feeling of you in his arms.
"I'm not going anywhere," you promised, giving him a warm smile.
Luke's grip tightened even more for a moment before he finally loosened it slightly, just enough to pull back and look at you. He smiled, a soft, relieved smile that made you want to melt, a smile reserved solely for you.
"Good," he said simply, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead. "Because I don't think I could handle it if you did, three weeks was enough.â
"Well, I'm here now, and I'm not planning on leaving anytime soon." You laughed softly, the sound soft and muffled against his chest.
"Oh god, look at them! Absolutely horrible."
You slightly broke away from Luke, as Jackâs teasing voice carried across the driveway. You glanced towards the sound, noticing both Quinn and Jack watching the two of you. You raised your hand bashfully and waved at both of the brothers.
"Luke, you're so clingy, man!" Quinn groaned, his eyes rolling as Luke turned to fake laugh at them.
"Yeah, seriously," Jack added, his lips drawn back into a smirk. "You act like sheâs been gone for a year or something."
"Shut up, you two," Luke called back, rolling his eyes, but you could see the hint of a smile tugging at his lips.
You couldn't help but laugh along with them.
"It's okay, Luke," you reassured, looking up at him, as he pulled you in for another kiss. "I like that you're kind of clingy."
His lips met yours in a delicate kiss as Jack and Quinn both groaned
âDisgusting, dude!â
âGet a room!â
2. the boat day
The boat bobbed gently beneath you from where you were seated comfortably on Luke's lap, his arms wrapped securely around you as you leaned against his chest.
The sun was shining down on Michigan, leaving the perfect opportunity for a boat day. A few friends of the brothers were scattered around the boat, chatting and laughing, soaking up all the sun they could.
Every so often, you felt Luke's lips press a light kiss to your shoulder or his fingers brush against your arm. His head rested atop of yours, the hum of his heartbeat thrumming beside your ear.
"You know, sheâs going to melt onto your lap, if you keep her there all day," Quinn teased from the wheel of the boat, shading his eyes with his hand as he looked over at you both.
You rolled your eyes but couldn't help but smile as Luke buried his face in your neck.
âIâm comfortable, thanks." He mumbled against your skin, his lips pressing against the fading purple heâd marked you with last night.
"Yeah, I bet you are,â Jack snorted before settling his gaze on you. âYou know youâre stuck with him like this⊠he hasn't let you out of his sight since we got on the boat."
âNot just on the boat!â Cole called out from the bow of the boat.
Luke chuckled, his chest vibrating against your back. "Can't help it," he said, kissing the top of your head. "I like having her close."
"You both need to cool off, I mean we all knew Luke was clingy, but this is a new level,â Trevor piped up from the bow, âI feel like we need to start calling you Velcro for you to stop."
From beside Trevor, Cole tilted his head back in a small laugh, nearly losing the drink in his hand in the process.
Luke chuckled along, but his hold on you didn't loosen. If anything, he seemed to pull you even closer, his fingers intertwining with yours.
âYou two are almost sickening,â Coke taunted with his lovable smile.
âJealous, Caulfield?â You finally asked with a raised brow that was paired with a teasing grin.
"You caught me," Cole feigned a dramatic sigh, pressing a hand to his heart.
You giggled as Luke suddenly stood up with you in his arms, the boat steady on the water.
âLuke, I swear,â you threatened, clinging to your boy as he approached the back of the boat.
âDidnât you hear Trevor, sweet girl?â He mused, nose brushing your cheekbone. âWe need to cool off.â
Without another word, Luke jumped into the water with you still firm in his hold, a soft scream escaping your grinning lips.
3. the party
The Hughes brothers were known for their annual summer party filled with various friends and NHL players, and tonight was no exception. The house was alive with loud music and laughter, all of which youâd ended up getting lost in when trying to grab a drink.
You wandered through the crowd, looking for a drunken Luke. Your boyfriend had been given a âget out of jail freeâ card from his brothers for this years party.
Luke could drink what he wanted as long as he was responsible enough.
Youâd gotten separated from him when youâd gone to get water for Luke and yourself, and now you searched for your boyfriendâs curly mop amongst the crowds.
Meanwhile, Luke was on the other side of the house, clutching an almost emptied beer and animatedly talking to Jack and Trevor, who both watched with signature shit-eating smirks. Lukeâs face was flushed, whether from the alcohol or his words, it was hard to tell.
"You don't understand," Luke slurred, waving his hand. "I love her so much. Like, really, really love her."
"We know, Luke,â Jack rolled his eyes, prying the drink from his younger brotherâs hands. âYou've told us about a hundred times tonight alone."
"Yeah, man, we get it,â Trevor laughed, taking a sip of his drink. âYouâre head over heelsâŠbut, where is she?"
Jack shot Trevor a glare, knowing his younger brother would instantly lose his shit and be intolerable when alerted to the fact you were nowhere to be seen.
Luke's eyes widened suddenly, his heart dropping as he looked around the living room for you.
"Oh my God, I can't believe I lost her,â he stammered, running a hand through his mussed curls. âShe's the best thing that ever happened to me, and I lost her!â
Jack put a hand on Luke's shoulder, trying to calm him down.
"Relax, Luke,â Jack reassured, placing down his beer. âShe probably got caught talking to someone, sheâll find us eventually."
âYâknow I didnât believe Jack when he said you're like a lovesick puppy,â Trevor began, his eyebrows raised. âIâm starting to believe him now.â
"I can't help it," Luke briefly with a pout, his eyes flitting around the room, entirely focused on finding you.
Just then, you turned the corner into the living room and spotted the trio amongst the crowd. Your heart did a tiny, little flip at the sight of Lukeâs puppy-dog eyes scanning the room desperately.
His head suddenly snapped in your direction, and a huge grin spread across his face. You sheepishly smiled and wiggled your fingers in a wave as the boy jumped to his feet
"There she is!" he practically shouted at Jack and Trevor, making his way over to you with surprising speed given the crowd.
When he reached you, he pulled you into a tight embrace, lifting your feet off the ground slightly as the drinks in your hands splashed dangerously. You shook your head at the smell of alcohol wafting from him, knowing how extra clingy he managed to get when slightly intoxicated.
I was so worried," he mumbled sadly into your ear, as you handed him the water and tilted your head to listen. "I thought I'd lost you."
"I was just getting some water for us,â you hummed, combing your free fingers through his unruly curls. âI was just looking for you too."
He set you down but kept you close, his eyes serious despite his tipsy state.
âI love you so much," he spoke earnestly, his tone almost pleading. "I can't even explain itâŠyou make me so happy."
You felt a warmth spread through you, his drunken words filling your heart. You knew that despite his intoxication, your boy was an absolute sucker for you.
"Love you too, Luke,â you softly answered, ââŠnow I think itâs time you drink that up, you donât want to be sick in the morning.â
Jack and Trevor, standing a few feet away, exchanged amused glances, watching as Luke admired you as if you were the rarest diamond amongst countless lumps of coal.
âHeâs down so bad,â Trevor whistled, raising his own drink to his lips as the two watched you talk away to Luke who steadily drank the water youâd given him.
âOh, bud,â Jack sighed, pinching his brow. âYouâve got no idea.â
4. dinner with the hughes family
You nervously fidgeted with the rings on your fingers as you stood outside of the restaurant beside Luke. Tonight youâd be having dinner with the Hughes family, including Ellen and Jim, at a fancy restaurant.
Youâd met Lukeâs parents multiple times before but your nerves still shook. You were never a severely social person and you were terrified that one slip-up around his parents would cost you the greatest relationship youâd been in.
âHey, sweet girl,â Luke mumbled, breaking your stupor as he took your fidgeting hands in his own. The two of you had driven together whilst Quinn and Jack had opted to pick up their mom and dad.
âThey already love you,â Luke continued, his thumb smoothing gentle circles over your skin, his eyes locking with yours. âMom wonât stop asking me about you, thereâs no need to be worried.â
He bent down ever so carefully and pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead, almost instantaneously relieving most of the nerves swirling in the pit of your stomach. You took a deep breath, trying to steady your racing heart. Lukeâs reassurance helped a little, but you couldnât completely shake the nerves.
He leaned in, his arm wrapping around your waist as he led you inside
As you walked into the restaurant, the two you weaved your way towards the rest of the Hughes family at a table near the back. The four of them were already seated, causing your stomach to knot.
That knot, however, loosened as soon as you witnessed Ellen's face light up when she saw you, and she immediately stood to give you a warm hug.
"There you guys are!" Ellen spoke with a smile that reached her eyes, her gaze locked on you. "It's so good to see you again."
"How have you been?" Jim offered a friendly nod from his seat as Luke helped you pull out your own before sitting down in the middle of you and Jack.
"I've been good, thank you. How about you guys?" You smiled, feeling a bit more at ease, Lukeâs hand intertwined with your own, squeezing lightly as if to anchor you.
Throughout the dinner, your boyfriend never strayed far from you, whether it be his hand resting reassuringly on your knee under the table, brushing a hair out of your face, his fingers smoothing circles on your palm or his leg brushing against yours.
Every so often, Luke would lean over to whisper a sweet nothing or joke in your ear, making you laugh and easing your simmering nerves. He'd even tried to sneakily press a kiss to your temple or cheek, which youâd rolled your eyes at. You loved how clingy your boy was but you didnât want to make dinner awkward with excessive PDA.
When the main courses were served, Jack leaned back in his chair, a mischievous glint in his eye as he looked between you and Luke.
âYou know, Mom, Dad, we've got to talk about something," he grinned, still glancing between the two of you.
"Oh?" Ellen asked, her eyes flitting towards Jack.
"Yeah, it's about Luke,â Jack tried to stifle his chuckles. âEver since he bagged y/n, he's been like superglue,â
âHe can't go five minutes without her," Quinn added with a shit-eating smirk.
"Hah, hah, so funny." Luke rolled his eyes, squeezing your hand, as heat rose to your cheeks.
"Oh, you boys,â Ellen chuckled, shaking her head as she wiped her mouth on a napkin. Her kind eyes fell on yours as you winced. âOut of the three of them, Luke's always been the affectionate one.â
You ducked your head with a bashful smile and squeezed Luke's hand as he watched you with love-shining eyes.
+1. the aftermath of dinner
You and Luke walked just slightly behind his brothers and parents as you walked towards an ice cream shop the family typically frequented during the summer. Your arms were linked as Luke babbled on about anything and everything, your full attention on him.
Ellen glanced back, a warm smile spreading across her face as she watched Luke lean in to whisper something in your ear, causing you to laugh softly. His arm was draped casually around your shoulders, fingers tracing light patterns on your arm.
âLook at them,â Ellen murmured to Jim, who allowed himself to look back.
âThey're good together,â Jim replied, his voice filled with pride. âI donât think Iâve seen him so happy without skates under his feet.â
âRemember when he used to be that shy, quiet kid who wouldnât even look at girls, let alone talk to them?â Ellen chuckled, linking her arm through his. âNow look at him, head over heels.â
âYeah, heâs grown up a lotâŠand sheâs been great for him.â Jim hummed, âYou can tell heâs more confident, more sure of himself.â
As everyone reached the ice cream shop, you and Luke lagged a bit further behind, completely lost in your own little world. Ellen watched as Luke stopped to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, his eyes never leaving yours. He seemed to say something else that made you gently hit his arm and giggle before he leaned down to press a gentle kiss to your lips.
Luke was a very clingy person, so much so that at times it could be classed as disgustingly overwhelming, but you didnât care.
He was yours to keep and you loved every clingy bone in his body.
why canât I ever find shirtless Quinn :(
Itâs rare to find, but I feel like itâs such an absolute treat when you do find it. Heâs just so perfect in every way. God, do I love summer Quinn.
