i don’t know if there’s a specific name for this but that thing where one person uses their finger to ‘draw’ on the other person’s back and the other person has to guess what they drew and i’m just thinking about ilya laying flat on his stomach and shane sitting on the back of his thighs tracing his finger along ilya’s back and ilya guesses them all because shane draws like a house, a dog, a hockey stick, a heart and shane can never guess what ilya is drawing because no you are wrong again shane, is me and you swimming at the cottage, no this is me scoring ten goals on hayden pike while he cries…yes i know he is not goalie but i still score on him, this is clearly me fucking you on the hood of my car, shane you are so bad at this

hard launch this, soft launch that...has anyone written hollanov going full gaslighting with their coming out? just straight up going "we've been together for years? why are you acting like this is news?"

double points if they don't even plan to do it. they decide to soft launch via no longer actively hiding their relationship, just slowly acting more like a couple around other people. they're both at some event and ilya finds shane and just wraps his arm across his shoulders, which maybe that could just be ilya being ilya, but then shane just leans into it? like this is fine and normal? and when someone questions it shane panics and is just like "why wouldn't i? he's my boyfriend" and whoever they're talking to is like "what? since when?" and ilya is immediately onboard with this game "since 2017."

they just keep doubling down "you don't remember me sneaking out to go visit him every time we played in boston? you were all chirping me about it."

"wait, did you two drive here together?" "why would we take separate cars, we live together?" "you WHAT?"

when someone thinks they're joking they bring up the group chat with shane's parents, ilya scrolls back to a text where yuna calls him her favorite son. they bring up a video clip jackie sent of the twins saying "we love you uncle ilya!" shane brings up his thread with svetlana where she sends him russian words and phrases she thinks he should know.

they quickly enlist everyone who already knew, get them all onboard to pretend like their relationship wasn't ever top secret information. shane posts a picture of him with anya, when someone comments "that looks just like ilya rozanov's dog?" he just replies "yeah, we adopted her several months ago" and ilya replies "love our daughter ❤️"

the more people act like this is revelatory news the more they inisist that it's not. "we started a charity together!" "i moved to canada for him!" meanwhile everyone else is slowly losing their minds.

hollanov on separate bedrooms

jackie: yeah separate bedrooms can be a blessing! i love hayden but sometimes i need my own space

shane: ????

hayden: it’s healthy for couples to get a breather! and it makes it more romantic when we share our bed again <3 even tho you kick in your sleep babe ahah

ilya: okei….

(later, at home)

ilya: don’t you ever dare sleep in a separate bed from me i will hunt you down

shane: fuck no never — also when you kick me in your sleep i just kick you right thefuck?? like grow a pair hayd, jeez

ilya: ok i see your point but maybe hayden shouldn’t kick his wife

shane: you’re right jackie should just kick him harder

ilya: exactly! we should be marriage counsellors, solving everybodies problems ))

Cliff teaches Ilya the prayer he says to St. Anthony when you lose things (Tony Tony please come down something’s lost that can’t be found) and now ilya walks around the house like

“TONY, you motherfucker, I need my KEYS! WHERE ARE MY KEYS TONY”

[dumbass-writer]

Cliff Marleau in a press interview when asked about hollanov leaked texts:

“Roz regularly invites me to ‘come choke on this big fat Russian cock, big boy 🥵🥵😏😏’ when we’re going to get breakfast or dinner after a game. Honestly the shit he says to Jane is so fucking tame lol that’s how we [Boston Raiders] knew that shit was serious years ago.

Congrats to Rozzy for locking that down finally!!! And Hollander if you ever want to experience The RozCliff supreme, hit my line 😉”

He walks away laughing his ass off and Shane issues a public hit onto him AND Ilya both ( he secretly takes a trip to Paris tho :) )

Idiots in love

I saw a post about Shane and Ilya being sad that they can't thank each other in their acceptance speeches like other can with their spouses and it got me thinking:

Ilya wins his first awards and hes got nobody he really wants to thank after his team and coach cause he he hates his family but he knows his speech is too short so on impulse he goes "And I want to thank Shane Hollander for being slightly worse than me this season". Everyone knows it was going to one of those two, so everyone thinks hes an asshole to say that but whats new so it works for him. But from then on it then becomes a bit for both of them to thank each other in their speeches in a snide way as a reason they won.

Shane winning the Art Ross Trophy (Awarded to the player who leads the league in total points at the end of the regular season). and going "special thanks to Rozanov for missing at least 5 shots this season, he was a huge help"

Ilya winning the Conn Smythe Trophy (Awarded to the most valuable player for his team in the playoffs.) "Just want to give a quick shout out to Hollander for getting knocked out in the second round this season. Must hate to see me up here."

They find a way to mention the other in their speeches every time all the time.

and every time, they sit in their seats like

You know how a lot of nightclubs have photobooths? Consider: Shane and Ilya are out celebrating after their first big win on the same team. They're still on an adrenaline high and have been dancing together and even if they're not drinking alcohol, being able to do all of these things together with their friends feels so good.

Shane pulls Ilya into the photobooth and closes the curtain. Ilya is asking if he's okay, thinking maybe he's gotten overwhelmed, but Shane is digging into his pocket and paying. "I need photos with you right fucking now, Ilya. Just for us."

The first photo is them with arms around eachother's shoulders, grinning. Then they're kissing, pouring every bit of their adrenaline and desire into it. Their hands are in hair and under shirts and grabbing asses. They're pulling eachother closer and Shane's legs are hooking around Ilya and Ilya is lifting him up and kissing down his neck and-

They don't notice the camera stop flashing or the photos finish printing. They only break apart when the curtain is pulled open by one of their teammates. They laugh at the inevitable chirping as they grab their photos and leave together to carry on celebrating somewhere more private.

Ilya comes into the locker room with a black eye he didn’t have the night before. Everyone’s oohing and aahing and shane is. Very quiet. A little perturbed. People are making jokes about their sex life and shane is seething into his locker. The team finally fully gangs up on shane like hollander what kind of freak shit are you doing, huh? Sex swing gone wrong?? Knee to the face? And shane turns, crosses his arms and stares at the floor and states, very solemnly, “ilya got a yo-yo”

Shane writes hockey romance* novels in his spare time and publishes them under a pseudonym (John Dutch) and no one knows except his agent.

A wag somewhere picks one up and discovers the hockey is really accurate and well written from a technical perspective (plus it’s super hot) and convinces her boyfriend or husband or whatever to read it and then somehow it becomes popular among hockey players as a thing that’s kind of a gag but people are also seriously reading it.

Ilya is extremely confused that CLIFF is trying to convince him to read a book but figures he’ll give it a try. Fifty pages in, reading the book on the plane, he suddenly realizes he recognizes the sex scene.

He never says anything to Shane, but starts casually leaving Shane’s books lying around for Shane to notice during their hook-ups.

*i was going to go with ‘gay hockey romance novels’ but then realized cishet hockey romance novels would be objectively funnier
