 “I love you. I’ve loved you from the moment we raced each other in that park. I have loved you at every dance, on every walk, every time we’ve been together and every time we’ve been apart. You do not have to accept it or embrace it or even allow it. Knowing you, you probably will not. But you must know it, in your heart. You must feel it because I do. I love you.”

“...I love you too.”

Shane during sex: oh there Ilya goes babbling in russian again, I must be making him feel really good. That’s neat

Ilya literally every time: I am in love with you. You are perfect. Why does it have to be you? You are so beautiful. I am going to walk into the sun if I can’t have you again

ok i just need to fully articulate, wrt to the ginger ale, the depths of drinks code happening here.

everyone is denying shane his ginger ale, which is basically the only thing he ever wants or tries to ask for. at the restaurant with his parents, they don't have it and he's forced to settle for water. meanwhile his parents are pressuring him to drink wine and go to wimbledon with a swedish princess, which shane does not want and doesn't have time for.

with hayden at the aquarium, ginger ale is available but the supply is contingent on keeping hayden's wife happy, and apparently hayden's wife's happiness is contingent on shane going on a date with her (female) yoga teacher friend.

[in ep2, shane says his mom told him to bring wine to the team's stanley cup watch party after hayden's wife asks "what am i supposed to do with this?" which mmmm i have a reading for but it contains spoilers...]

at the club in montreal, the bartender does have ginger ale but he's SO judgy about shane ordering it that shane orders something else rather than insist on it, even as he says "shane hollander can have whatever he wants here" as suggestively as possible. this makes me crazy because ginger ale isn't just about sexuality anymore -- ginger ale is ilya. there isn't just baggage for shane tied to being a gay pro hockey player, but even plausibly gay montreal metros fans who give him elevator eyes and won't let him pay for drinks are not going to be chill about him secretly fucking their rival team's captain.

and then of course at ilya's house, ilya not only keeps ginger ale on hand specifically for shane, but checks to make sure it's the right temperature. everything shane is going through to get a sip of some fucking ginger ale and ilya is worried it might be too warm and he won't like it.

in the locker room immediately after winning the stanley cup, shane is being sprayed by multiple bottles of champagne, which he is ignoring in favor of texting ilya. #thisisnotenough

"hollander" (this doesn't have to change, we can go back, we can just be hollander and rozanov and ignore the strings, we can pretend it's nothing more and never talk about it and I'll never say shane again, I'll never ask for more if this is all i can get) "hollander" (there's nothing I can say to keep this from crumbling but i'm begging you)

ilya + not being lazy when it comes to shane

“he should be at the club” well he’s at the club and he wants to fucking kill himself

the best thing about tumblr is that you can watch a show and then you come here and someone has made a gifset of it and you can put it on your blog like a sticker in a journal
