Hockey Imagines

31. Artemi Panarin (Chicago Blackhawks #72)

This was requested by Russian26rangers and I hope they enjoy it.
The request was: he meets your parents for the first time and has trouble communicating but when he can, he speaks in that adorable broken English.
So enjoy :)
Artemi Panarin
"Artemi! Come on, we've got to go!" Y/N exclaims clipping her bracelet around her right wrist.
"Оставайтесь на линии" (hold on) Artemi mumbles fixing his shirt for what seems like the thirteenth time. Y/N walks behind him and wraps her arms around him.
"They'll love you baby. As much as I do," she leans up to rest her head on his shoulder.
"But if they don't?" Artemi finds himself asking. He was nervous, English wasn't his strong suit and meeting his girlfriend's family who spoke English as a whole was nerve wracking. What if he screws up? What if they hate him because he is Russian?
"They will because I love you." He turns around and kisses her.
"I love you." Y/N stills blushes every time she hears him say that in the cute little way he does.
"Come on let's go babe." She grabs his hand and leads him out to the car.
At Y/N's parents they knock on the door and then enter the house. With a shout Y/N says; "We're here!"
Artemi can feel his temperature rising and his nerves getting the best of him as Y/N's parents come around the corner out of what seems to be the kitchen.
"My baby! How are you?" Her mom asks pulling Y/N into a hug.
"I'm fine mama! How are you? Dad!" She turns with a full on smile to meet her dad in a loving embrace. He kisses her forehead.
"My babydoll, I missed you. And you must be Artemi! Y/N has told me a lot about you." Artemi stares at her dad slightly frightened. Would English come out or would it be a blubber or Russian.
"It's.. Um nice to meet.. Um you sir," he says unsure of his English but when he is met with a smile from Y/N he knows he's done it correctly.
"You too son. Please call me Y/D/N," he sticks his hand out to shake Artemi's and he shakes it back with a smile.
"Thank you."
As they're all sitting around talking Artemi gets up to go to the bathroom and then calls Y/N not long after.
"What's wrong baby?" She asks.
"Я не понимаю, что говорят ваши родители . Я не хочу , чтобы сделать дурака из себя." (I don't understand what your parents say. I don't want to make a fool of myself) He goes on a ramble in Russian. Y/N shakes her head and grab him pulling Artemi closer to her.
"люблю тебя все в порядке . Они не ум , что вы не можете понять . Когда вы понимаете, что-то положить в свой вход . Они, кажется , как вы." (Love you're alright. They don't mind that you cant understand. When you understand something put in your input. They seem to like you.) He lets out a shaky breath and nods.
"Thank you Y/N." He kisses her forehead lovingly before the two of them return to the living room.
"Everything alright?" Her mom asks looking over at the two a line of worry forming on her forehead.
"Yes mam. Everything great," Artemi smiles feeling accomplished with his use of English. No matter how little he may know he is just happy that he said something somewhat intelligent in English. Y/N squeezes his hand softly.
"That's great to hear. I am going to go and check on dinner. I'll be right back," her mom gets up and starts to head into the kitchen.
"Would you like some help mama?"
"Sure baby," Y/N looks at Artemi and he nods. She kisses his cheek and gets up to follow her mom into the kitchen.
"So son how is hockey?"
"Hockey is great. Really love it here," her father smiles and nods.
"That's fantastic son. Please be careful with my daughter. I know you don't to hurt her but please," Artemi nods in somewhat understanding.
"I love her sir. Y/N great and I love her a lot."
"I'm happy to hear that. You seem like a great guy and I think you'll be great for my little girl." They both smile at each other and turn their attention to the tv which Mr. Y/L/N has turned on.
In the kitchen the girls are quickly preparing dinner and then are calling the boys in.
"Sorry about the wait boys. We've just decided to have deli sandwiches. Nothing too fancy and then we've got brownies for dessert."
"Thanks you," Artemi smiles sitting down next to Y/N.
"How was my dad?" She whispers in his ear. He nods.
"He was umm good." He whispers back kissing her forehead.
Mr and Mrs. Y/L/N look on at the two lovebirds affectionately.
"They're so cute." Y/N's mom whispers to her husband who nods.
"Way cute," he mimics with a smile.
Artemi notices the way his girlfriend's family acts around him and even with the language barrier between them he realizes that doesn't matter. They'll love him because of what he does for their girl and it doesn't matter if he doesn't speak English strongly.
"I love you Artemi," Y/N whispers in his ear turning his face to give him a kiss. He smiles into the kiss and whispers;
"Я тоже люблю тебя Y / N." (I love you too Y/N)

Sorry for the wait and I'm sorry if this isn't what you want. I hope you enjoyed it though!
