Chapter 114 Sweet Honeymoon.

Chapter 114 Sweet Honeymoon.
Asher’s POV

“That is what happened.” I explained and Ethan stared at me in disbelief, his eyes wide in shock. “That is the whole truth, I promise.”

“So that is why you both have been acting weirdly before you got suspended?” He asked, obviously in disbelief and I nodded. “You are heading to the NHL? Like the national team?”

“We didn't mean to hide this from you…” I continued, my back on the headboard as I sighed. “Everything was too messed up and we kept on making decisions that only made sense at the moment. Looking back now, those decisions were quite stupid, no?”

“I don't know what to say right now…” He muttered, his head in his hands and I panicked. “Shouldn't we at least be the first to know that you'll be leaving us soon?”

“Ethan—”

“And Kieran knows too?”

“That's because he has ulterior motives! And he's working with my dad so I don't know what he's up to as well. No one else knows this apart from you right now.” I confessed and he let out a sigh as he rubbed his forehead.

“I'm telling Carter about this.” He murmured after a while and I nodded in understanding. “I'm really happy for both of you. If we ever get the chance to join you, we will. But for now, you'll see us cheering at the front line for you both.”

“It's still quite far away, isn't it? We do have a game in two weeks—” A smack on my head had me wincing as Ethan glared at me and I huffed in confusion.

“So you do know we have an upcoming game. Yet you came here to spend your sweet honeymoon with your boyfriend!” He hissed, annoyance evident in his tone and I shot him a sheepish grin.

“I told you, we just kept making weird decisions that only made sense at the moment! I mean look at me right now.” I muttered with a soft chuckle and he chuckled with me. “I'm in the hospital right now because of these same stupid decisions.”

“It wasn't your fault. You just wanted to surprise your boyfriend.” He countered and I heaved out a sigh, closing my eyes for a moment.

“You know, this morning I had a better idea. Instead of pretending to be sick, I wanted us to take a stroll and probably get him abducted or something. You know, like place a bag over his head and shit.” 

I didn't even get to complete my sentence when Ethan burst into laughter and I snorted, joining him almost immediately.

“God, you are something else! That would have killed him, you idiot!” He said in between fits of laughter and I grinned in satisfaction.

“Or I could have pretended to go missing and while he's searching for me, bam! I'll show up like a thief in the night. What do you think? Splendid, right?” I wiggled my brows as I gestured my sneak attack and he held his stomach in laughter.

“I swear I'll do this to Carter. It's perfect, you're a genius.”

“I know I am.” I replied with a smug grin as he slapped my shoulder harshly, making me wince.

“We should leave soon. We missed practice because of you guys.” He muttered and I let out a sigh as I took his hand, swinging it gently. “Enjoy your honeymoon, Asher. But don't slack off on ice when it's time to play.”

“You know we won't.”

“But…” His voice trailed off and I raised a brow. “How are you going to keep the facade that you both are apart? You guys are literally on your honeymoon right now.”

“I think we'll need your help on this one…”

“Tell me what needs to be done.” He replied and I gestured for him to come closer.

After whispering in his ear what the plan was, his eyes widened as he nodded in excitement.

“I take back my words, you can be smart sometimes.” He whistled and I kicked his ass in feigned annoyance. “This makes sense. I'll get it done so you both can enjoy your honeymoon—”

“Damnit, stop calling it our honeymoon. You've said it over ten times now! We're not married yet!” I said softly, trying to hide how much it made me feel flustered but he noticed at once.

“God, you are such a twink!” He snickered and I glared at him. “Fine, fine. Have it your way. How I wish I could be in your shoes right now. I need a weekend off with Carter too.”

“Are you guys okay?” I couldn't help but ask and when his face fell, my heart skipped a bit. “What's wrong?”

“Everything's wrong. Pressure. No time. Lack of communication. Too much practice. It's slowly drawing us apart and we know it. We thought the same thing was going on between you two after seeing your crazy stunts but how wrong we were…” He let out a loud sigh as his shoulders slumped and my lips turned downwards.

“I'm sorry, man. Is there anything we can do to help?” I muttered as I placed my uninjured hand on his shoulder and he let out another dramatic sigh.

“I don't know! I wish I knew what to do. I miss my boyfriend's dick.” He complained, and I fake gagged, acting like I wasn't happy with the fact that Roman fucked me every day.

I could get used to that and I knew it.

“You fags are so disgusting.” I hissed and he rolled his eyes, slapping my shoulder again. “Easy, man. I'm injured!”

“Can't you think of a smart yet dumb plan for us?” He asked, batting his lashes at me and I cringed, pushing him away.

“I'll think of something and let you know if it's workable. How about that?” I suggested and he nodded immediately, his gaze lighting up at once.

He must really miss his boyfriend…

“Cool! Give me a call, yeah? Or don't, I don't care.” He shrugged nonchalantly and I scoffed, wanting to throw something at him.

He finally unlocked the door and pulled it open to see that Roman and Carter were pressed against the door, listening in on our conversation.

“Wow, just wow.” I muttered in disbelief as I tsked and Ethan's ears literally turned red as he stormed out of the ward.

He knew they must have heard everything. Even him saying he missed his boyfriend's dick.

“See ya later, Asher! Get well soon!” Carter yelled as he waved at me and then dashed after Ethan who seemed to be running away from him too.

Roman stepped back in and closed the door behind him, his hands in his pockets as he stared at me.

“You could abduct me or go missing and the only thing that'll come to my mind is how you are.” He muttered and my face burned as he stepped closer to me.

He heard everything.

“It was just to make Ethan laugh. There's no way I would do that…” I whispered as he took a seat beside me and took my injured hand, placing a soft kiss on it.

“Asher… will you marry me?”
