    Summary

    Ilya wakes up confused. He’s pretty sure he fell asleep at home, in bed, with Shane fast asleep in his arms, but he wakes up on a flat surface with a pinch in his lower back. Had he fallen off the bed in the middle of the night? Neither he nor Shane move much in their sleep, but he supposes it isn’t impossible.

    He levers himself up on one hand, stretching out his back slightly as he sits up. He’s definitely not in his bedroom anymore. The room he’s in is large and full of bulky hockey players spread out across the floor. Their soft groans and quiet questions begin to filter in his ears as they wake up as well. He sees some players he knows are on the Voyageurs, some of his own teammates, some coaching staff, and even some WAGs like Jackie Pike and Cassie Boodram. But the most important person in the room is laid out next to him, face slack and peaceful with sleep.

    “Shane,” Ilya urges, shaking him. “Shane, wake up.”

    Summary

    Ilya is… well, Ilya.

    Everyone in the hockey world knows him.

    The Russian menace. Killer on ice, even worse on sight.

    Their friends and family know more than others.

    The best captain. Perceptive, funny, a hidden softie.

    But Shane knows him most.

    Which kills him sometimes, because people so wildly underestimate just how good his husband actually is. He gets that it’s all jokes, harmless chirping, and Ilya also doesn’t care. But it starts getting annoying when people talk like Shane could “do better.”

    Better than Ilya? The ILYA? He wants to scream in their faces.

    But Shance can’t, so he’s going to scream into the void instead. Except somehow this void grows to 2 million followers in a week, and Shane has never been good at being subtle.

    Summary

    There are many ways to support your favorite player. Attending their games, for instance. Buying their jersey. Or, if you're trying to keep a secret relationship under wraps, you could drive four hours in the opposite direction, wrap yourself in a dollar store blanket with eyeholes cut in it, and attempt to blend in with the locals.

    It's foolproof. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

    The internet would never figure it out.

    Summary

    [Tweet from @EliotFreeman]
    Ilya Rozanov at his first #Cens practice, being asked why he chose to move from Boston to Ottawa: “To be closer to my gay lover, Shane Hollander.”

    [Tweet from @letsgetdrilled]
    oh great another player who thinks being gay is a joke #ilyarozanovisoverparty

    No one thinks Ilya's answer is serious. Twitter reacts accordingly.

    Summary

    When Shane is drunk, he's horny. When Ilya is drunk, he's a poet. Either way, they're just a bad as each other.
