------------/----
"Y/N! Reino! Where are you two?" Jack asks as he walks into the house he shares with his teammate Sam and his best friend Y/N. Toeing off his shoes Jack makes his way into the kitchen and sees some cookies sitting on the table. "Yumm Y/N made cookies!" He mumbles to himself taking a bite of the cookie and then spits it out when he crunches down on something crunchy. Looking down he sees insects in the cookies causing him to scream like a little girl.
Meanwhile, standing down the hall from the kitchen listening to everything go down are Sam and Y/N.
"This is so funny," Y/N laughs quietly looking up at Sam. He smiles, eyes crinkling as he nods.
"Where are you guys?!" Jack asks and the two of them race to another room as quietly as they can and call "in here!" In this room there were a bunch of plastic snakes and alligators. With the lights off Jack would step on them and freak out. At least that's what the two of them hoped. The door to the room Sam and Y/N were in swung open and Jack jumped in and on a plastic alligator with a cry consisting of "I got you two!" But, then Jack feels something under his foot and he screams causing the pair already in the room to burst into laughter.
"You two are so funny!" Jack says sarcastically. "This means war!" Sam and Y/N look at each other.
Now, Jack was unpredictable with pranks and pretty much anything else. This had Sam more worried than Y/N. She only had to deal with him at home. Sam on the other hand, had to deal with him everywhere. On the ice, in the locker room and at home too. He never got a break!
"Alright, you're on!" Y/N says with a grin. Sam bites his lip looking at Y/N being so confident about this. That's the type of girl he wants. Well, Y/N is the type of girl he wants but he'll never let her know. That awkward time if they break up as the three live together. What's he going to do? He doesn't want to ruin their friendship that's been 11 years in the making.
Now, Y/N thought the same about Sam. It was no surprise that with how good Sam looks all the time with his hair tousled and his brown eyes that seem to sparkle whenever he talked about really anything. She would never say anything though because just like Sam she was afraid of ruining their friendship. Is it really worth it? To put herself out there? What if she failed? All these questions kept going through her mind. A bunch of what ifs always go through her mind.
Jack has an idea though. After he is done tormenting and freaking those two out he is going to try and get them together. He notices how they look at each other and how jealous Sam gets when one of the boys talks about how hot Y/N looks that day or how protective he gets over her when out in public. He acts like he's her boyfriend and needs to protect her from everything.
Later that night the three of them are watching sports highlights and Sam has Y/N in his arms, the two of them cuddling. Jack sits there contemplating what to do to them.
"What's he going to do?" Sam whispers in Y/N's ear. She turns to face his ear and whispers back.
"I don't know but I'm kind of scared. He could do anything," she says.
"We'll just have to get him back!" She nods with a small smile.
"What is that look though?" Sam shrugs slightly creeped out.
"Don't know. Not sure I want to know though!"
The next morning when Y/N hops in the shower to get ready for school she is covered in purple kool aid and then when she goes to do her hair. It is blue, not her normal colour but blue!
"JACK!" She screams storming into his room and jumping on the bed. She starts smacking him angrily.
"Oww ow ow. What's that for? Ouu nice hair and is that a new foundation. Purple really suits you." He laughs.
"I fucking hate you Eichel." She smacks him one more time before storming off to the bathroom passing Sam on the way.
"Don't ask." She huffs as he starts laughing.
"I won't! Trust me."
Sam's time comes on the ice at practice when he goes to drink from his water bottle the whole thing pops open spraying him.
"That was really great Jack!" Sam calls out to him. Jack laughs and skates by as Sam tries to throw his water bottle at him but it fails getting stuck to his glove. "Did you put glue on it?" Jack nods and skates away from him. "Asshole." Sam mutters trying to get the water bottle off his glove.
Back at home Y/N is in her bed working on a project when the boys get home. She gets nervous. What is Jack going to do to them? Is he almost done?
Jack finally finalizes his plan to get those two together and puts it into action. There's a door in the house where the lock is on the outside so you can lock people or things inside. After a few hours of throwing stuff in there and setting it up he is ready to throw his plan into motion.
"SAMSON!! Y/N!! Get in here!" He yells. "Help! Owww help!" He screams faking an injury. The two of them come running in asking what's wrong. He bolts out of the room and locks the door before the pair can realize what's going on.
"Let us out Jack!" Y/N yells.
"You're being ridiculous!" Sam says banging on the door.
"When you both realize why I put you in there and you both grow some balls then you can get out!" Jack calls walking away. Inside the box like room the two of them stand looking around. Jack had set up a bed like thing on the floor with blankets and pillows and a laptop with snacks and drinks.
"What if I have to pee?" Y/N asks hopefully trying to get a loop hole. Sam shrugs.
"I guess you're screwed." Y/N goes to lay on the floor/bed thing.
"So what's going on?" Sam shrugs and bites his lip debating whether to tell her. Y/N is trying so hard not to go out and kiss him. With Sam biting his lip like that it's hard not to do so.
"Y/N! Umm," Sam starts before he can stop himself. She looks up at him and nods.
"What Sammy?" She asks using his nickname.
"Fuck it!" Sam swears before going to where Y/N is laying and gives her the best kiss she has ever had. Their lips move softly in sync with Sam's hands caressing her cheeks. Y/N blushes a deep pink lacing her fingers through his hair.
When the two of them pull away Y/N asks Sam as pretty important question.
"Why?"
"Because I like you. I really really like you, I have for years. I have just been too afraid to admit it." She just stares at him. "And I've screwed it up! That's great, I'm so sorry I didn't want this to happen." She kisses him to shut him up.
"Shut up," she giggles. "I wanted this too. I've liked you as well," Sam perks up at that.
"Really?" She nods.
"Yes, for a couple years now." Sam smiles at an sudden idea in his head.
"Well.. I say we should utilize this time and have ourselves a lovely little date. More than friends of course." She waves her hand with a funny expression on her face.
"Oh yeah of course!"
"I knew this would happen! War is over!!" Jack yells from outside the door scaring the two now lovebirds.  They both laugh and shake their heads.
"Yeah! Not quite Eichs!"
