Ilya @ Troy

[your-cab-is-definitely-here]

Was briefly amused by Shane in room 1410 immediately latching on to Ilya's brief conversation like "omg who else have you slept with, was it another player, weren't you afraid of getting caught" like he's so fucking cute and earnest with it. And maybe a wee bit jealous already over this beautiful boy who came on to him so confidently in the showers.

And then I remembered that this is almost definitely his first ever open conversation with another queer person and holy shit. It's just so poignant that Shane has no one he can talk to, no one AT ALL, except Ilya. "Weren't you afraid of getting caught" yeah, Shane is constantly bone deep terrified of this and it robbed him of any chance to make connections with another queer person. Until Ilya. Ilya's not just his first top or his first time with another man. Ilya's also his first queer friend, in any real sense.

Of course Shane wanted to be able to say the words "I'm gay" to Ilya once he knew they were there to be said. "Who else am I gonna tell?" Who indeed.

i could actually talk for hours about how important it is that shane proposed to ilya instead of the other way around because ilya needs to feel wanted and chosen unconditionally whereas shane needs to finally take control of his freedom and happiness with how he lives his own life

Ilya being able to put his hand on his boyfriend’s back in public in front of people for the first time is making me kinda emotional

on the day of shane’s birth yuna took him to the melted centre bell and dipped him into it to turn him into the greatest hockey player of all time but unfortunately her hand was covering one foot and this is the skate he trips on at the end of the long game

“what did i do wrong”

[shieldofiron]

The concept of Shane being mic-ed up during a game and it actually going perfectly well. Sure it picks up some shittalking from Rozanov, as to be expected, who's surprised?

What is surprising is the audible moan and stuttering gasp when Rozanov slams him into the boards that's so ingrained it doesn't even register as weird to him until every reporter is asking him if he got injured at that moment.
