Buck has known for a long time that he loves Eddie. It’s not a secret to anyone, except maybe Eddie himself. Even then, there are moments where Buck thinks he might know. Shared looks, fond smiles, lingering touches.

For Buck, the sun rises and sets with Eddie and Christopher Diaz. Him loving Eddie is not a revelation, but a promise he makes every day.

given how babies/itty bitties react to familiar adults suddenly changing their appearance, i am CACKLING imagining ilya coming over to the pike residence for dinner one night right out of a photoshoot where they straightened his hair

and baby amber pike just sees him and SCREAMS before starting to cry because who is this STRANGER who is unca iya but NOT

and shane is just *pat pat pat on her back* "😔i know buddy, i feel the same way😔"

and ilya just 🙄 as he goes to wet his hair in the shower

[penandinkprincess]

reblogging with my own tags because i'm CACKLING about this starting the habit of: ilya wearing a hat in amber's presence?? NOT allowed

if ilya shows up wearing a baseball hat, amber will let him pick her up, but she is IMMEDIATELY reaching that lil hand up to flick ilya's hat off by the brim. gotta confirm he's not pulling something suspicious again. and resistance?? futile. you will submit to losing your hat or you will submit to SCREM >:(

ilya wears a beanie around her one (1) time because she's still working out fine tuning the mechanics of hands, so she just grabs a fistful of beanie AND curls and YANKS. and now this massive hockey player is just "okay okay okay okay okay" as he is wincing and trying to unclench this UNREASONABLY strong baby fist from his hair so he can obey instructions and take his hat off, but amber is DUBIOUS. she needs this hat OFF, sir. *yank yank*

and shane?? NO help. laughing so hard. thinks it's funny every single time to watch ilya get bullied by a baby.

Yuna realizes that Shane and Ilya are in LOVE love when she hears singing coming from the kitchen.

“Chopping carrots with Ilya,” Shane sings under his breath. “Making salad with Ilya.”

Yuna smiles softly from the dining room. This is one of her favorite things about her son. From the time he could (barely) talk, he made up little songs about anything and everything. The first time he’d done it, he’d been strapped into his car seat and watching cars go by. When he’d caught Yuna’s eye in the rear view mirror, he’d smiled with all 8 of his little teeth and waved.

“Dwiving,” he’d sung, all of 18 months old and barely able to say the word properly. “Dwivin’ wi’ Mama. Wuv Mama.”

Yuna’s not sure if it’s Shane’s way of processing the world around him, just A Thing some people do, or something special about her baby boy. All she knows is that from the first time he’d made up a little tune about Driving With Mama, everything turned into a song. When he’s comfortable and feeling at ease, Shane turns little things around him into music.

Learning to tie his shoes? “Daddy’s teaching me to tie my shoes. One lace over the other. Make the bunny ears!”

Gearing up for practice when he was 8? “Going to practice. Gonna be great. Gonna score a goal!”

Studying for a science test? “Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. Everyone says it because it’s true. Moving on—organelles and cell walls.”

Gearing up for his first Metros game as captain? “Taping my hockey stick. Going out on the ice. Gonna kick some ass.”

It’s something so uniquely, adorably, perfectly Shane.

Today, though? As Shane’s in the kitchen preparing a salad for lunch? For the first time, someone else sings along. For the first time in Shane’s life, someone hears the tune and lyrics that only exist in his head and joins in.

“Making salad with Shane,” Ilya croons along, hooking his chin over his boyfriend’s shoulder and wrapping strong arms around his waist. “Preparing lunch with my love.”

Shane smiles and sings back as Ilya nuzzles his neck. “Being domestic with my boyfriend. Thinking of boring things we can do together.”

Ilya laughs and kisses his ear before finishing the song. “I love to be boring with yooouuuu.”

It’s the best song Yuna’s ever heard.

[okoyestrainee]

…okay, that’s a lie. It’s a tie for the best song Yuna’s ever heard. Maybe. It’s definitely at the top of the list.

Shane pauses on the other line, breath catching as he holds back overwhelming emotion.

“Mom,” he croaks. “I…fuck.”

Yuna stays calm. She mentally takes stock of the situation. Ilya’s fine—he just texted her, a few seconds before Shane called, to warn her of the incoming storm. David’s fine—he’s sitting right next to her, confused and alarmed as their son has some manner of episode on the phone. She’s fine. So what’s—

“—wi’ Dada!”

…oh. Oh.

It’s soft at first, but picking up in volume. Tiny pit-pats in the background accompany the most beautiful little voice Yuna’s heard since Shane made up his first song, Driving With Mama, from his car seat all those years ago.

“Eating,” the little voice sings in the background. It’s garbled by what Yuna assumes are half-chewed remnants of an afternoon snack; probably organic peanut butter on apple slices. “Eating wi’ Dada. Eating wi’ Papa. Dada on phone! Who on phone, Dada?”

There’s wet laughter in the background, further from the phone. “Oh God, Shane. It’s genetic. She’s a little you!”

More tearful laughter, this time from Shane. “That’s not—she’s adopted, Ilya.”

“I don’t care what the papers say. She is you. Listen to her, she is perfect. She must be part you, sweetheart.”

Driving With Mama. Making Salad With Ilya. Top three songs for sure, as far as Yuna’s concerned. But this one? Eating With Dada and Papa, written and performed by her granddaughter for a live audience? A platinum hit. Give this baby a Grammy.

a lot of the centaurs learning that shane fucking hollander hockey robot is a YAPER. some of them are walking towards the locker room and as they get closer they start hearing very animated voices talking loudly and they recognizes ilya and shane’s voices and shane is explaining something to ilya and ilya is laughing hard at that and they’re just going back and forth about this topic and having fun with it and then the teammates finally round the corner and walk in and see ilya sitting on the bench half dressed fishing to putting his hockey gear and shane standing up gesturing with his hand talking very animated and still in his compression clothes and then it hit them that they genuinely didn’t know nothing about shane outside his PR image and they learn that not only shane talk loudly and a lot but shane and ilya are genuinely best friends on top of being married. and of course ilya wouldn’t be wiling to marry someone that doesn’t make him laugh or understand his type of humor. the chemistry of hockey husbands are in and out of the rink. that’s soulmates shit fr

[scunthotter]

Shane thinks Ilya is the coolest person in the world. Like thats literally Shane's biggest reddest firetruck. And when they are out Ilya loves this. He loves having a built in audience for all his chirps and jokes, he loves that Shane is either laughing or at the very least is hiding his smile. It is such an ego boost that his husband is his biggest fan. That the person who Ilya likes the best clearly and obviously likes him the best back.

[brokentoasterrr]

ilya posts a video on instagram with the caption “my husband and the dog he didn’t want” and it’s shane cradling anya like a baby outside the vet’s office whispering “you were so brave, honey. we’ll get you a pup cup on the drive home and you can sit in my lap while papa drives. you did such a good job when the scary lady poked you. such a good girl” and people everywhere lose their fucking minds

[deletiaclementine]

Shane finally gives Ilya the cookie and Ilya is determined to make this a Good Time for him, he’s pretty sure Shane is new to this and yeah it’s gonna be hot but Ilya is going to be sweet too. Because Shane Hollander deserves that.

But then! Shane Hollander deftly turns the table with a cheeky forehead kiss and what is this? ILYA isn’t supposed to get sweetness. He’s supposed to give it. He just remembered he’s supposed to get his hair cut at midnight he’s gotta GO

their reassuring little okay's (okei's) <3

[lucylehane]

never in life have I blushed, russians do not do this (is lie, liar told you that)

[ilyarozanovsmouth]

You can literally see it in his eyes:

When he realizes that Shane isn't actually upset and he's going to have so much fun with this. His little smile, too!!

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

no one is coming to save yo- wrong!! everyone who has ever shown you love and/or care is saving you a little bit.
