    Summary

    Shane's been on the receiving end of Hayden's assessing gaze enough times to be able to guess at what he's going to ask next as he wrinkles his nose and juts his chin out, narrowing his gaze at them. “You know, you never really did say how long it was that you two were hooking up for before you got serious.”

    “Is a long time,” Ilya says, with more than a little bit of pride in his tone. Shane tips his head back to meet his eyes and shrugs. Neither of them has ever dropped anything more than several years in interviews, keeping the details to themselves, but it’s less of an issue than he expects. He sort of wants to brag about how long it’s been; he wants to celebrate the fact that they had all those broken years together and still managed to make it through.

    At this point, they’re coming up on more years together than not, which is insane if he thinks about it too hard.

    OR: As always, the truth shall set [Shane] free.

    Summary

    Shane: I’ve never wanted to share it since our timeline is so…complicated
    Hayden: Is it? You were fucking, then you dated, then you got married. Normal progression!
    Shane: I don’t think the “fucking” part of that equation is usually 7 years

    In which the Voyageurs’ secret homophobic group chat leaks, Shane decides it might be time to tell the world how long he’s been seeing Ilya, and said world loses their shit.

    Summary

    The Centaurs think they’ve planned the perfect surprise for Ilya’s birthday. Instead, they’re the ones caught off guard when they discover Shane at their captain’s house. Between party prep, team antics, and one very suspicious “Jane”, Shane ends up hanging out with the team.
    -
    “They must really love each other,” Wyatt said.
    “What else?” Bood prompted Shane.
    “You hockey boys are a bunch of gossips.” Yuna laughed and drank from her wine. She checked on Shane, but he didn’t seem to mind the questions.
    “Don’t you want to know too, Yuna?” Bood asked.
    “Maybe. But she’s probably very private,” Yuna replied.
