   Summary

   He wants to introduce himself, wants to tell them how happy he is that their love exists, wants to say that he had wished for Ottowa. But he doesn't want his teammates to lock him out naked in a hotel corridor again. Maybe next time they will pull him outside, maybe next time—
   He skates a little closer to Rozanov, holding his gaze. They are almost the same height.
   "Hello little baby Metro," Rozanov says.
   He swallows against the knot in his throat.
   "Hey," his voice is stronger than he expects. "You are a disgrace for Russia, you stupid fucking fa—"
   His childhood idol punches him so hard in the face that he loses his footing, landing on his back as he gets the wind knocked out of him. He thinks a fight breaks out, which is kind of ironic, since his teammates don't even like him.
   ___
   Nineteen year old Viktor Yegorov is excited to join the NHL, to leave Russia before anyone finds out that he likes boys. He’s drafted by Montreal right after Shane Hollander leaves to join his husband in Ottowa, so the timing could, admittedly, be better. But he’s trying not to let that put a damper on his excitement. He still gets to join the same league as his idols. His new team will be fine. Everything will be fine.
