    Summary

    The thing is Shane has always had a hard time navigating social interactions. Not that he is necessarily bad at it, it’s just he sometimes says whatever is on his mind without realising how it might sound to other people. His best friend Rose calls it “refreshing”. Shane is not sure he agrees with that assessment, not sure he understands what it is that he is not supposed to say.

     

    Or, four times Shane accidentally flirted with people and the one time it wasn't an accident.

    Summary

    an opposing player flirts with shane during a game and ilya has a totally normal level headed reaction when he plays against the man the following week

    -----
    “Weird stuff to be honest, kept calling me ‘pretty boy’ which like whatever I get that a lot,” shuffling sounds came through the phone, and Ilya knew Shane was putting his bag down and unpacking his stuff from his game, he was so predictable. “But he really hammed it up, like complimenting me? Like, I know it was supposed to piss me off, but it just felt strange.”
    Ilya sat up and put the phone directly to his ear, he felt anger brewing under his skin. He had a theory and needed to investigate it without Shane realizing anything.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has a "tiny car accident" (his words). Shane Hollander has a full-scale, system-shutdown panic attack about it. Meanwhile, a horrified Hayden is praying for someone to throw him in a lake and tell him that this is all just a big joke, or maybe for a meteor strike; he is really not picky. J.J., on the other hand, is trying to bleach the image of his sweet captain making out with Ilya fucking Rozanov from his brain.

    It's a very normal day for the Montreal Canadiens.

    Summary

    “You know - my biggest fucking fear came true on a huge scale. The entire planet found out I’m gay, Ilya can never go back to his home country again, my life blew up, and none of you asked if I was okay. I can’t believe I almost gave him up just so I would never have to face this exact reaction from people who yesterday I would’ve considered family. I can’t believe what I almost let you all cost me.” And then, quieter, “I can’t believe how little it took for you to throw me away.”

    Hauling his bag over his shoulder, Shane stared around the room, one more glance at the men he’d given the best years of his career to.

    “Best of luck next year without me.”

    OR

    Hurt by the team's accusations that he let the Centaurs win, Shane gets his pain off his chest before leaving the Voyageurs' locker room for good.

    Summary

    Eventually he gets dressed, the collar of his suit brushing up against his neck, the texture making him want to rip it off and curl into a ball. Everything feels like sandpaper against his skin. If he had his texture safe suit he would be fine, but instead he's fighting the urge to not cry. It's stupid he thinks. He's a grown man, trying to not break down crying because the texture of his suit is wrong. If it were Ilya he wouldnt bat an eye or pay attention to the texture of this fucking suit. Stop being a fucking bitch and pull yourself together. Your Shane fucking Hollender. He tells himself quietly.

    -

    Shane gets overstimulated and has a meltdown, Ilya calming him down. And Hayden finding out about Ilya and Shane.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    When Ilya takes care of freaked out Shane it’s so precious I wanna cry just from the thought of it
