One year, for the MLH awards, when Shane knows he’s winning the Art Ross, having just nudged out Ilya in points this season, he decides to surprise his husband.
Just as the video package, highlighting Shane and other finalists, wraps up, he turns to Ilya and whispers “I’m wearing a plug.”
Shane’s name is announced and he rises from his seat with a painted on media-smile as Ilya sputters beside him, eyes wide and hand digging into Shane’s forearm as though to keep him from going to the stage. Shane places a kiss on his cheek and carefully loosens his grip before walking away, leaving Ilya looking downright furious behind him.
Twitter is loving it, most people assuming that Ilya is playing up their competitiveness for the cameras with his reaction to Shane’s win and that the huge grin on Shane’s face when he thanks his husband and captain in his speech is him rubbing his victory in Ilya’s face. Little do they know that Shane is delighting in the knowledge that Ilya’s in the midst of having an aneurysm with how quickly all the blood in his body migrated to his dick, thrilled at the thought of how Ilya will make him pay for it once they’re alone.
