NO THIS SHOULD BE THE HOLLANOV WEDDING SONG. IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO THEM.

[shami1412]

"Sex was great, but moments like this one, where they could cuddle and caress and just exist alone together in a quiet room, were Shane’s favorite thing."

[shami1412]

"Ilya had enjoyed watching Shane go to his knees in front of him many times over the years"

The Long Game

if you think heated rivalry fetishized gay men you need to get your eyes and ears checked

also (still talking about something that no one else cares about) it’s so beautiful and meaningful to me that ilya is the one who most longs for and pushes for queer solidarity. like he is the one who tells ryan price that his and shane’s camps are focused on teaching tolerance, he is the one who shows up to scott’s gay bar night, and he is the one who gets the centaurs to wear pride tape for troy during the whole pride game (instead of just for the mandated warm-up). and he longs so badly to come out to his team bc he wants them to know this side of him. like he is so explicitly a queer man who wants to be seen for that part of his identity and he is willing to go to bat for everyone else. which makes sense to me from a russia pov bc he really knows the political context of everything. and he wants that community so bad!! bad enough to always show up in support which is such a beautiful part of his story to me

They could be getting married by the pike kids in this exact moment and we wouldn't know

ilya still inside shane after sex, head lying on top shane and he lifts a little to look at his husband “wait a little and we go again” and shane asks “again?” and ilya goes “shane im addicted to you. is worse now that im seeing you every day, i want you all the time. im sick and you’re my disease. you’re a virus that took all over my body” and shane stares at ilya but burst out laughing asking “you’re calling me a virus?” and ilya’s like, while he leans to kiss shane “yes i can’t get rid of you, there’s no remedy for that i wake up thinking of you and go sleep thinking about you” and shane kiss his husbands and says “that’s beautiful Ilya but we really need to get up and eat breakfast” and ilya whines “no shane one more time” and shane just laughs and shakes his head but he’s not making any move to actually get up

thinking thoughts about how much shane wants to be a Boyfriend™. like we see it with rose when he calls her babe over text and it's verrrry 'i'm getting a good grade in boyfriend! something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve!' but we also see it with ilya. except with ilya it's not just fulfilling a role bc being a Boyfriend™ is really just a catchall term for being able to love him unconditionally and hold him and take care of him and carry his bags and to be the person ilya sends 'can i call you' texts to and to be ilya's soft place to land and to be so, so devoted to him in every way shape and form and like. his earnestness is trying to claw its way out of him for sooooo much of their time together before they're official even when he knows it's not allowed and i just know ilya was subjected to the Boyfriend™ Experience in full force at the cottage to such an extent that he genuinely spends most of the time walking around like he's recovering from a concussion bc he did not ever think it was possible for someone to ever love him this much

Shane’s nervous. Which is stupid and ridiculous. But this is the first year where they’re not just fuck buddies and they get to be together and real with each other.

And most importantly: it’s Ilya’s birthday.

Even though they’ve never discussed past birthday celebrations, Shane knows that Ilya hasn’t had a family celebrate his.

Yes — the Bears will have undoubtedly taken Ilya out to get drunk, celebrate their captain, and that they are a family of sorts (far more than the Metro’s are, Shane has come to realize, but that isn’t the point right now) but it hasn’t really been about Ilya.

It was more an excuse to go out.

Tonight is about Ilya.

Shane double checks the plate with the extravagant chocolate cupcake he picked up earlier, glancing around like he was buying porn instead of a sweet treat. Everyone knows Shane Hollander doesn’t eat this type of thing though, so someone will say something if they spot him. He’d even prepared an excuse (“My dad got a promotion. Loves chocolate cake.”) just in case.

But no one had spotted him. Even better because Shane knows for a fact Ilya has notifications set up for any time Shane is posted about.

Glancing at the clock, Shane twists his hands together. Ilya will be here in a minute. He’ll let himself in and Shane will be standing here waiting and then they can celebrate Ilya.

It’ll only be for a night, a handful of hours, before Ilya has to go and fly back to Boston, but it’s something. It’s everything.

“Shane?” Ilya calls out from the entry way. Lost in thoughts, Shane hadn’t heard the door open.

“I’m here!” He calls back, wondering if his grin is evident in his voice. He steps around the counter and smooths a hand down the jersey he’s wearing (one of Ilya’s — Shane had it delivered to the apartment below the one they used to fuck in so no one knew Shane Hollander of the Metro’s was buying a Boston jersey) and waits for Ilya to walk in.

His boyfriend stops the moment his eyes land on Shane. “Hi.”

“Hi.” Shane replies, suddenly breathless. “Happy birthday, baby.”

Ilya’s eyes drop down, widening as they take in the jersey Shane is wearing. “Oh my god.” He whispers as Shane turns slowly, letting Ilya see the name and number on the back. It probably helps that Shane only has his underwear on too.

“There’s also this.” Shane points at the cupcake, “Double chocolate. Your favourite.”

“Shane…”

“And I’m going to have a bite too.” Shane adds on, “Because it’s your birthday cake.”

“Shane.”

“And there’s presents from Mom and Dad. For you. Plus I have some.” Shane clasps his hands together in front of him. “It’s not much, but…” He shrugs, “Happy birthday, Ilya.”

There’s tears in Ilya’s eyes as he strides forward, cradling Shane’s face in his hands as he presses their mouths together in a loving kiss.

“Thank you, moya lyubov. This is…perfect. I love you.”

“I love you too.” Shane replies softly, winding his arms around Ilya, “And I can’t wait to celebrate every birthday with you from now on.”

“Yes.” Ilya nods, smiling as he strokes a thumb along Shane’s freckles, “That is best birthday present of all.”

"So how's jerking off?" "Ma'am I'm at my parents' house." "So constant? Endless?" "Hah. Pretty much."

Oh I'm suuuuure. Shane with his broken clavicle and Ilya with his bruised ribs were absolutely just having the weirdest phone sex that you can possibly imagine. Shane is propped up on seven different pillows because it jostles his collarbone too much if he doesn't stabilize himself on Mount Fluffmore before he starts jerking it--with his NON DOMINANT HAND to be clear. Half of Ilya's hisses are from arousal and half are from pain. They are equally hot. At one point Shane's shoulder slips and he grunts, "Oh fuck," and Ilya's arm (Hand and dick out of frame because Shane once again asked to see his face. But he can hear everything he needs. Fwip fwip fwip) speeds up and he goes, "Oh God. Are you coming? Did you come?" and Shane is like, "No I moved my shoulder wrong fuck" and he's readjusting the pillows (it's a process) and Ilya is still, now just watching, remarkably patient, and Shane says, "You can, uh, keep going," and Ilya says, "No, I can wait," and then Shane settles and Ilya tilts his head and asks Shane to lift up his shirt and show him his tits because he misses them and Shane still has some bruising and honestly it's kind of gnarly but Ilya turns his camera and shows Shane the bloom of bruises up the side of his body and Shane hisses and says, "Fuck that's hot," and Ilya says, "Show me yours," and so Shane's good arm is occupied with holding up his shirt for a little while as Ilya jerks off to his bruise and his armpit hair and then Ilya says, "Touch yourself touch yourself let me see you come," and then Shane does and the pillows slip again while he's coming and the sound of his groan tips Ilya into the kind of full-body-crunch orgasm that jostles every single one of his bruised ribs and they're both saying owww and coming and saying oh fuck ow and coming.

And Shane, who's still catching his breath, says, "Wow, so this is what we could have had if we'd been hooking up during playoffs all these years," because that's the one thing they've always avoided through mutual unspoken agreement. He says this meaning it to be sarcastic but, in the dark of his bedroom with the sound of the lake out the window and Ilya's breath over the speaker, it comes out far too earnest.

And Ilya's, "Mm, yes," is sweet and low and Shane presses a hand to his bruises and imagines it's Ilya's and he can see Ilya's hand moving up and down the bruising on his side and wonders if he's imagining those touches to be from Shane.

And he wants. And he wants.

I really hope that this is what they decide to call season 2
