as long as andre had been playing hockey, you were never allowed to date any of his teammates.

well, of course, you weren't interested in them when he first started hockey, but when the teenage years came around it was more appealing.

andre burakovsky was your older brother by no more than 8 minutes, but he protected you like
you were years younger than him.

when you fell deeply in love with everything about mikko rantanen and you found out he felt the same, you knew you had to hide your relationship from andre.

you knew it wasn't going to be the easiest, but you were up to do whatever it takes to be with mikko.

you loved everything about mikko from his humor to his compassion to his looks. everything about him was perfect to you, not to mention he treats you like a queen.

"i'm headed to golf!" andre called throughout the apartment that you two shared.

you knew that he was going to golf that morning. andre had always loved to golf. it seemed like it was the only thing he knew how to do beside play hockey.

you were thankful for andre's golf addiction at this moment because this created the perfect opportunity for mikko to come over and you took advantage of that fully.

you and mikko ended up getting a little ahead of yourselves since it had been so long since you seen each other and to put it politely things got into a little "fun".

what you weren't expecting during this "fun" was that your very, very protective twin brother was going to come home.

"what the hell is this?" andre exclaimed when he saw you two.

mikko practically collapsed on top of you in shock.

"it's not what you think." you said.

"alissa, don't lie to me. i have eyes and this is exactly what i think it is." andre said, frustratedly.

"mikko, get dressed and get out of my damn apartment." andre demanded and shut the door of the bedroom.

you sighed and tears rolled down your cheeks as you watched your boyfriend scramble for his clothes.

"i'm sorry mikko." you said.

"you don't have to apologize my love." mikko said with a small smile.

he kissed your forehead and walked out of the room once he was fully dressed.

you heard a little bit bickering and then the door shut.

andre opened your room door, "you're over." he said and shut it.

you couldn't get anything out of your mouth before he shut the door.

you began to cry out of frustration with yourself and your brother.

for the next week, you were very bitter towards your brother. andre thought it would go away eventually, but it didn't. he hated seeing his twin sister like this. she looked ruined.

as much as andre wanted to keep his promise to himself that he wouldn't let you date his teammates, there was a certain part of him that felt horrible. he felt that he ruined something that his sister deeply loved, so he decided to make an exception.

"alissa, get dressed all pretty please. i got you that dress you really wanted." andre said and held up a dress as he stood in the doorway.

you rolled in your bed so that your face was in the pillows, "why? where are we going anyway?" you asked, all muffled from the pillows.

"that's for you to find out." andre said and threw the dress on top of you.

you looked at the beautiful dressed that was draped over you. you didn't want to put it on. you loved the dress and had tried it on in stores. mikko loved the dress too, probably more than you so when you looked at it you thought of him.

you sighed and slipped it over your body. it looked as good as it did when you tried it on before, but it felt different now that someone wasn't there to wrap their arms around your waist and say how beautiful you looked.

when you went out with the dress on to talk to andre, you found a little fancy candlelit dinner in the kitchen.

"andre, what is this?" you asked him.

"well alissa, i have a little surprise for you." andre smiled.

he opened the door of the pantry and mikko came walking out with his arms open and a big smile on his face.

"mikko!" you exclaimed and ran over to embrace him tightly.

"hi my love." mikko smiled and picked her up to spin her in a circle.

you smiled up at him and kissed his lips.

"you look beautiful my darling." mikko said and held your hips while he looked your body up and down.

"do you like your surprise?" andre asked from
the side.

you smiled and nodded at him before going to hug him.

"thank you andre."

"it's no problem. you guys love each other. who am i to stop that?" andre said and kissed your forehead.

you and mikko sat down at the dinner table across from each other. it seemed like the smiled on both of your faces couldn't leave.

"hi, my name is andre and i'll be your server today." andre said as he came to the table.

"oh great." both you and mikko murmured out together.
