  Summary

  “Honestly, dude, you’re fucking handling this like a champ.”
  He’s not. He’s handling it the way he has to, the only way there is to handle it. “Well, I am champ, so.”
  Marlow chuckles.
  He sounds like he’s about to say something else heartfelt and misinformed, so Ilya flicks on the radio.
  --
  Ilya gets outed fall 2014. Objectively it's good for gay hockey but it sure doesn't feel like it.
