   Summary

   Shane and Ilya have finally figured out that they want to be boyfriends, now they have to navigate what that looks like. Also, they’re not very good at hiding how much they actually like each other and mainly have the ‘well known fact’ of their old rivalry and the general heteronormativity of the NHL to thank for keeping suspicion off their backs. But not everyone thinks being gay is an impossibility, especially not other gay hockey players, so how long will they be able to keep their relationship hidden? And from whom?

   Inspired by how many times they each think "now that he knew they were together he didn't know how they were going to be able to hide this" after the I Love Yous in Heated Rivalry. Hear me out: They can’t.
