Rainbow Room

30 He/him

Me @ myself after walking up to an automatic faucet and trying to turn it on manually: “Good lord, caveman, do you also need someone to explain the magic fire that lives in the lightbulbs? Is that newfangled technology scaring you?”

Me @ myself after walking up to a manual faucet and trying to wave my hands in front of it like it’s automatic: “Woah, slow down there Mr. Future Man Moneybags. Too good to turn your own water on? Can’t be bothered to turn your wrist like some kind of peasant?”

Thinking about Shane being so aware of when Ilya seems upset and constantly reaching out, being so physically and verbally there for Ilya, repeatedly checking in and making sure Ilya knows he’s there, coming up with ways for Ilya to share his feelings when he’s struggling with it, holding him when he’s upset or talking about things that are hard

Thinking about Shane panicking after his dad catches them and just how much coaxing it takes for Ilya to get Shane into a hug, that he isn’t expecting Ilya to want to come with him to deal with the fallout, that he immediately pushes back on Ilya calling him brave by reacting as if he thinks it’s a joke, that he only stays in the hug a few seconds before going down onto the ground, that up until Ilya pulls him in he seems so hesitant to physically reach out to Ilya for comfort

Thinking about Shane and Yuna outside talking and Yuna reacting emotionally to him being hurt and him looking away from her when she tries to comfort him, thinking about them hugging a bit before she pulls back and says “Enough”

Thinking about Shane panicking at the table and his parents silently watching, and how surprised he seems by Ilya reaching out verbally and physically to reassure him, that he is even more surprised that Ilya calls them boyfriends and cements the idea of them as a team

Thinking about Shane Hollander growing up in an extremely toxically masculine sport and having lots of support when things are going well but being very alone when he’s struggling, while clearly understanding how much unconditional love and support would help him because it’s what he constantly tries to give Ilya. Thinking about Shane knowing exactly what he needs but having never gotten it before so he doesn’t know what to do with the bits and pieces he’s given

I love confident smart competent Svetlana, but I do also need her to be a little bit pathetic and for a big part of her friendship with Ilya to be them lamenting how shit they are at relationships

Svetlana: RED ALERT

Svetlana: GENERATIONAL FUMBLE

Ilya: You asked about their favorite hockey team and then spent fifteen minutes roasting it didn’t you

Svetlana: I thought it was friendly banter and then he went to the bathroom and didn’t come back

Ilya: It’s not banter if you’re the only one talking and he’s sitting there silently weeping into his Bud Light

Svetlana: Remember when you told Jane how much you liked fucking me while trying to lock it down?

Ilya: 🖕😘

Svetlana: 🖕😘

[rainbow-femme]

Ilya: Holy shit holy shit holy shit I think we’re actually together. Together together. He wants to be with me he wants to spend his life with me he fucking LOVES me Sveta holy fucking shit I don’t know what to do or say holy shit

Svetlana: WHAT

Svetlana: Every detail. NOW

Ilya: He said he loves me! He made a whole ten year plan so we can be together holy shit I don’t think I’m breathing. I don’t think I’ve breathed since he said it holy shit

Svetlana: Oh my god I am so happy for you, I can’t believe it I’m going to cry in the club

Svetlana: How did this even happen? Did you ask him if he still wants it after Florida? Did he bring it up?

Ilya: …

Ilya: Don’t get mad.

Svetlana: How could I be mad at you right now?

Ilya: It may be because I said I would marry you for a green card.

Svetlana: …

Svetlana: BOY-

Ilya would make so many “my husband and the dog he didn’t want” posts

Shane explaining a hockey play on his laptop screen to an attentive looking Anya

Shane squatted down in a grocery aisle with three different dog food bags in front of him, comparing ingredients

Shane doing yoga and Anya imitating some of his poses, Shane reaching over and slightly correcting her posture

Shane up at 4 am to shovel a path for her in the snow to go out and pee

Shane and Yuna debating which of 10 different themed bandanas goes best on Anya for that particular day

Shane carrying bags inside and Anya is trotting after him with small ones in her mouth

Shane on the dock with a ball and hockey stick, he hits the ball with the stick and sends it flying into the lake and she takes off like a rocket and jumps in after it

Ilya filming POV style of himself walking over to the couch where Shane is laying with Anya on top of him. “Can I join?” “No room.” “You are breaking my heart, Hollander. Anya, may I join?” And she shakes her head and puts it more firmly on Shane’s chest

The Centaurs decide to secretly compete to see who can make Ilya laugh the hardest as part of a social media campaign promoting the upcoming season

Most of them get at least a chuckle out of Ilya, some get a full laugh. Shane goes last and he just silently texts Ilya something then puts his phone down. Ilya checks his phone and starts laughing so hard he almost passes out, with Shane smiling smugly at the others who all went all out in their efforts to make their captain laugh

The video ends with a screenshot of what Shane sent Ilya and it’s a picture of Anya wearing sunglasses

For weeks Ilya will start laughing when he looks at his phone and sees the picture and it pisses the team off every time because Shane just silently grins every time

so cool how advanced the algorithm has become, it literally only takes like a decade or more of spying on all my internet activity and then it can expertly curate a selection of 15-20 youtube videos that i don't really want to watch, and then keep showing me those videos over and over again for a week so i can scroll past them again. the future is now
