Shane had looked so happy, but Hayden hadn’t done anything that nice since. He hadn’t stopped J.J. from trying to set Shane up on dates, he hadn’t asked his friend how he was holding up despite seeing that something was obviously bothering him since Christmas. He had been a shitty friend, but he was going to change that.What if Hayden had been with Shane when the Plane Crash happened? What if he wanted to be a better friend to Shane and help him through almost losing his secret asshole boyfriend?

Summary
Hayden was trying ok, and he thought he was doing a pretty good job.
He had also convinced Shane on the plane ride the next day back to Montreal that he shouldn’t impulsively drive to a jewelry store and buy an engagement ring and also not to impulsively propose. Shane had thought Hayden was being a dick about it being Roz, but Hayden had explained that they both deserved a proposal that wasn’t driven by adrenaline. He even told Shane he’d help him.
That’s how he found himself in Shane’s apartment, a week later, trying not to bang his head against the table as Shane agonized over rings. Maybe he should have let him be impulsive.Hayden's a good friend who talks Shane through the emotions of proposing to your secret boyfriend who's also your rival.
Bonus: Ilya learns that maybe Hayden Pike isn't so bad. (He can never let Shane know.)Series

Summary
The day after the engagement, they had both had optional practices they chose to miss, instead spending the day together. They hadn’t just spent the day in bed (and the couch and the shower and memorably the dining room table).
They had also discussed what this meant for the plan. Specifically, that they would start telling select friends and their teams before the wedding. Ilya could tell Shane was nervous about their reactions, but also excited to finally be open. They’d agreed to start small. Shane was going to tell JJ, and Ilya had decided he would sate the curiosity of two of his teammates.Shane and Ilya come out and Share some revelations along the way.
