Ilya's Top Secret Super Gay(ish) MLH Society

Summary:

so maybe that random person who commented on Shane Hollander's twitter statedment after him and Ilya had been outed had been right, there was a secret MHL gay society...and maybe it had been Ilya's plan all along

-

Or

Ilya creates a group chat with all the queer players he knows about and has the number for...and maybe one he doesn't know about yet but shhhh it's still a secret

Notes:

so in case this isn't already obvious I have completely fucked with the timeline and a lot of things but I don't really think it matters all that much. I also wrote a lot f this at work while my manager sat next to me who was telling me I had to be in charge for the day.

Chapter 1

Notes:

I am currently in the process of updating this work to make it look like texts so the fancy text messages might just stop at some point and go back to normal text because I have 15 chapters to do. I'm also really scared this isn't going to work and it's going to delete the whole thing😅

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

12/06/2017

Ilya added Scott Hunter to Top Secret Super Gay(ish) MLH Society

Ilya Hello its some chert
Ilya
Hunter I will say this exactly 1 time and never again
Ilya
Thank you for doing what you did is very helpful and brave and now I have boyfriend
Ilya
Would not have been possible without you kissing hot boyfriend on ice
Ilya
I hope your team is good and I will make Boston beat them up if they are not when we play
Ilya
It means more than you will know

Scott Wow, thank you. That really means a lot Roz, I hope everything goes well for you too if you ever decide to come out.
Scott
And congratulations on getting a boyfriend i hope it all works out for you.
Scott
The Admirals have been amazing so far but thank you for the offer, the same goes for you if you ever need that.

Ilya No Boston are good
Ilya
They will not be homophobic
Ilya
Now I add more gay to this chat because we can not only have 3/4 gay here
Ilya
Am only half so...
Ilya
Also if you know any others you can add too I make it so you can add but can't kick out

Ilya added Shane Hollander, and Ryan Price to Top Secret Super Gay(ish) MLH Society

Scott added Eric Bennett to Top Secret Super Gay(ish) MLH Society

Ilya I have one more I know about but no one can ask how I know or be weird about it
Ilya
When I found out he nearly cried and begged me not to tell anyone
Ilya
Was very scared I think of his team
Ilya
They are not good

Ryan What is this?

Shane Ilya...
Shane
What have you done?

Ilya Shane do not worry we all have same secret
Ilya
Or not if you are Scott Hunter
Ilya
We will all be safe here
Ilya
And know we are not alone
Ilya
And we can all talk about our sexy boyfriends like the guys talk about their wives and girlfriends

Eric I have a wife.
Eric
Also Scott, how did you know?
Eric
I'm not gay by the way but I guess I do like guys too

Scott I can't believe I'm about to say this but I agree with Roz I think this is a good Idea

Ilya Another one yay Eric we are the same
Ilya
But I have hotter richer very sexy boyfriend
Ilya
Anyway everyone be okay with the person I will add
Ilya
And don't freak out please
Ilya
He is very scared as is and I do not want him to punch me in next game

Ryan I won't say anything about anyone in this chat. And I also think it is a good idea, maybe a little risky but a good idea.

Shane I also will be okay with whoever it is

Eric Same here.

Scott I'm good too

Ilya added Troy Barrett to Top Secret Super Gay(ish) MLH Society

Eric Oh, that was unexpected.

Scott Hi Barrett, please don't worry no one here will say anything at all. It’s just a space to know you are not alone.

Ilya Yes we will just keep adding more people too
Ilya
I know them all
Ilya
None of you are very good at staying secret
Ilya
It was very obvious when I first see you all
Ilya
Especially when one tries to take a guy home right in front of me in clubs

Ryan Which one of us was that?

Ilya He is not here yet
Ilya
I do not have his number
Ilya
I will get it
Ilya
William Karlsson
Ilya
He plays in LA has hot boyfriend now
Ilya
He is a model I think
Ilya
Is the man from the club

Shane Ilya how did you even know about everyone
Shane
I mean obviously Hunter is out, congratulations by the way, but the rest of us?

Ilya Is obvious no?
Ilya
You are super gay but Voyagers are stupid so they don't see
Ilya
Scott kissed hot boyfriend on live TV
Ilya
Karlsson went home with a man right in front of me in a club
Ilya
Ryan does not hide it but he thinks no one knows because he is always on new team
Ilya
Eric I did not know but it does not surprise me I think
Ilya
He talks to his goal posts...

Scott What about Barrett

Ilya I will not say until he has made appearance here
Ilya
I think he will want to know
Ilya
And he is asshole sometimes so I will not text him separately
Ilya
And is good reason to have support I think

Ryan That's probably a good idea actually

Troy What the fuck is this?
Troy
Rozanov I thought I made it very clear what I would do if you told anyone
Troy
But also how did you find out?
Troy
You never told me when you fucking confronted me about in the middle of a game

Eric So that's what that fight was about
Troy
I thought Roz had just lost his mind starting a fight with someone on Kent's team

Ryan To be honest I did hear some rumours and thought he was just being a homophobic asshole which is why I had no problem punching him in a few games but I guess they were wrong

Ilya Was a very fun game
Ilya
Boston won
Ilya
And I had very sexy boyfriend calling me worried about my pretty face after I was punched

Troy So are you going to tell me or not?
Troy
And I am still going to beat the shit out of you in our next game.

Ilya Okay but is probably not good
Ilya
No is definitely not really good I think
Ilya
And I would tell you privately but I think maybe is good that other people know and can help you

Troy What the fuck are you on about Rozanov

Ilya You have boyfriend yes?
Ilya
Pretty actor who is also not out?

Troy How do you know that?

Ilya I was in a club in city where he was filming
Ilya
And he came up to me and started talking
Ilya
Saying he always wanted to know if a Russian hockey player was better in bed than a Canadian one
Ilya
So I thought "ah he has fucked Hollander"

Shane Really?

Ilya So i ask who was that
Ilya
And he had no problem telling me about his very gay boyfriend Troy Barrett who plays hockey for Toronto and how they hook up when he goes to play in Vancouver
Ilya
But then he also said he is here in the club with his actual boyfriend
Ilya
So obviously I tell him no and tell him to go back to his boyfriend
Ilya
I don't cheat or sleep with taken people
Ilya
And he goes to his boyfriend and starts dancing and making out with him

Troy I've never been out with him. We always stay at one of our apartments.

Ilya And the boyfriend he is here with is not Troy Barrett the hockey player from Toronto and Sveta and Marly tell me he is actually a film maker person
Ilya
So then I ask you in next game how is your boyfriend Adrian dela cruz and that you do not look like he would be your type
Ilya
And you punch me
Ilya
And Kent punches me
Ilya
And I assume you broke up
Ilya
Then you find me after game and threaten me

Troy We haven't broken up
Troy
I thought everything was fine
Troy
He said he didn’t want to come out and that he was happy with me and that he loved me.

Scott Oh, Barrett, are you okay? That's a really shitty thing to find out. And that he outed you to another player that could have told the whole league. If you ever need to talk we are all here for you

Ilya Yes is why I made chat so no one thinks they are only one

Ryan And if Kent is being a dick in general, which he always is, you can talk to us
Ryan
And Hayes if you need to, he’s actually a great guy and can keep secrets very well. He keeps saying he knows this secret about two players that he can’t tell anyone because it’s so out there that no one would even believe him is he told them


Private chat between Ilya and Shane

Shane Do you think it’s about us? I don’t know which other players are keeping a big secret that could relate to this conversation

Ilya Is fine Мой дорого
Ilya
How would back up goalie for Toronto know about us

Shane Yeah I guess, sorry I was just freaking out

Ilya Is okay I know you are scared
Ilya
Is okay
Ilya
I love you and we will be fine
Ilya
I promise I will fight anyone who says no to that

Shane I love you too, just please don’t get arrested


Top Secret Super Gay(ish) MLH Society

Shane I know what it’s like to hide something like this from your team because you know they will be jerks about it so please know that you’re not alone and we are here

Eric I would also like to say all of the above. I'm not great with words but I think maybe we all needed something like this to know we aren’t alone… I don’t want to give Roz a complex though

Shane Too late he won’t stop bragging to me about it

Scott Are you two together right now?

Ilya Yes, we are starting charity
Ilya
We are actually very good friends
Ilya
Not that the league would want anyone to know
Ilya
But Barrett, I say the same as everyone else
Ilya
I only add you to this because is good to know
Ilya
And because of how I know
Ilya
Might be good for you to know

Troy Yeah well I spoke to Adrian and he said he isn’t cheating on me and was only talking to you in the club. Not flirting with you.
Troy
So excuse me if I would rather believe my boyfriend over you.
Troy
Stop fucking with my life and leave me alone
Troy
And you better watch your fucking back at the next game Roz

Troy Barrett has left the chat

Scott Well…
Scott
That could have gone worse

Eric It could have gone better

Shane Maybe not the best way to tell him his boyfriend is cheating on him Ilya

Ryan I think it is probably better that someone else knows though. I don’t think he talks to his parents much his dad is definitely an asshole who prefers Kent over him

Shane Thats fucked up. Kent is the worst of the worst in the league.

Ryan Yeah, I get the feeling Barrett only has Kent though. He apparently only talks about his family when people ask if someone is coming to a game to see him and that usually ends with Barrett saying his Mom is the other side of the world and nothing about anyone else.

Scott How do you know all this Pricy?

Ryan I’m pretty good friends with Wyatt Hayes
Ryan
He is on the same team as Troy as the back up goalie

Eric That’s cool, I didn’t know you two knew each other

Ilya I think he needed to know that he is not alone even though he might feel like he is

Shane That's very insightful. I think maybe it will be helpful for all of us. But I agree that we need to change the name because if someone on my team sees that on my phone I don't think it would go well.

Ryan Same here
Ryan
Some teams are not safe for this

Ilya Ugh
Ilya
Okay boring people i will change

Scott Maybe it can just be like a normal MLH chat

Eric With a normal name

Ilya Changed the chat name to Boring people of the MLH who don't want Ilya to have fun

Scott Really Rozanov?

Shane No

Ryan I mean its a bit better

Eric I think it's kind of funny.

Ilya I like you Bennett
Ilya
Even if you are weird goalie who talks to goal posts

Eric Good now maybe don't aim for my face when we play you next season

Ilya Maybe you should move your face so I can score easier

Eric I take it back

Ilya No you can't take it back
Ilya
No backsies
Ilya
You think I am funny
Ilya
Is true
Ilya
I am most funny MLH player
Ilya
And best player

Shane Second best

Scott I would take offence but they are actually right about being the two best

Ryan Hollander is the best player and Roz is second

Eric That's definitely right, Rozanov. I have looked at the stats and Hollander is more likely to score on me.

Shane See everyone agrees that I am the best player and you are only second

Ilya Boooooo
Ilya
I don't like any of you
Ilya
You are wrong
Ilya
I am best
Ilya
Boooooo
Ilya
I will keep chat name this now
Ilya
You are all wrong and boring


Shane @Scott @Eric Good luck tonight playing Toronto maybe see if you can Talk to Barrett

Ryan And beat Dallas Kent while you're at it

Ilya Yes punch him in ugly stupid face and steal Barrett back from dark side

Scott @Ilya you know you could just try adding him back to this chat

Eric Thanks, Hollander, we will try to talk to him but it will probably be a bit hard in the middle of the game.

Shane Oh yeah, I'm meant after the game if you could.

Ilya Hollander the old man was joking…

Shane Oh. Sorry

Eric It's okay, we can try at least.

Scott Or Rozanov could just add him back into the chat

Ilya Ughhhhhhhhhhh
Ilya
Okayyyyyyyy
Ilya
Old people never shut up

Ilya added Troy Barrett to Boring people of the MLH who don't want Ilya to have fun

Ilya Happy now boring people?

Scott Yes

Shane Yes

Ryan Yes

Eric Yes

Ilya Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ilya
I hate you boring people

Troy Seriously fuck off with this shit Rozanov

Ilya Hello
Ilya
Nice to talk to you too Barrett
Ilya
How is cheating boyfriend

Troy He's not cheating on me
Troy
Fuck off

Troy Barrett has left the chat

Ilya added Troy Barrett to Boring people of the MLH who don't want Ilya to have fun

Troy Seriously fuck off

Troy Barrett has left the chat

Ilya added Troy Barrett to Boring people of the MLH who don't want Ilya to have fun

Troy Barrett has left the chat

Ilya added Troy Barrett to Boring people of the MLH who don't want Ilya to have fun

Scott Barrett, look, you could at least stay. Then Roz will stop annoying us all by adding you over and over again
Scott
You don't need to say anything or even interact with this chat, just be here so you know you're not alone

Ryan I can imagine Toronto is not the best team to be yourself with, especially with Kent around

Troy It's not the easiest
Troy
But it's fine
Troy
Manageable
Troy
Now just leave me alone

Scott Well no matter the outcome of tonight's game, Eric and I are going to the Kingfisher tonight, its a bar that my boyfriend works at
Scott
You're welcome to join us if you want to

Eric Yeah and if anything it would be a good night out with cheap drinks

Troy I already have plans

Ilya Is Dallas fucking Kent dragging the whole team out again
Ilya
He's bad at clubs
Ilya
Always fails at getting women to sleep with him
Ilya
Is funny to watch him get rejected

Shane I've heard he has these massive parties at his house and it's just a bunch of you guys women. It sounds like an absolute shit show.

Ryan How do you know that?

Shane A couple of the guys on my team get invited to them a lot for some reason
Shane
Comeau and Drapeau

Ilya Ah the assholes

Eric Drapeau should not be the starting goalie, he is definitely not good enough.

Scott They're both homophobic as fuck too

Ilya Omg the old man knows how to swear
Ilya
But yes They are the worst

Ryan I've never had any problems with them being homophobic but I am usually fighting them when we interact

Shane I shouldn't say this but it is satisfying to see Comeau getting punched


Eric Guess what

Shane What?

Eric
Eric
He didn’t stay long though, and walked out after a brief conversation with Scotty.

Troy I am in this chat too, remember?
Troy
And you didn't tell me it was a gay bar

Scott I didn't think you would come if we said that

Troy I wouldn't
Troy
Why don't you people understand I can't be seen somewhere like that
Troy
The Guardians are not good people and it wouldn't be good if anyone saw me there

Ilya Yes they are homophobic and asshole
Ilya
And so are you
Ilya
An asshole I mean
Ilya
Maybe try being nicer to people trying to help

Troy Fuck you I never even wanted to be a part of this you all dragged me into it and won't leave me the fuck alone

Shane I think we just don't want you to feel like you have to deal with all this alone
Shane
The Voyageurs are also a very homophobic team and I know that even the few that will be okay with me being gay won't like my boyfriend so I can't come out to them, and if I do tell the team it's going to make everything 100% worse than they already are because they already don't really like me even if I am the captain.
Shane
So maybe don't blame us for everything shitty going on with your team that's making you scared of who you really are and request a trade if things really are that bad.

Troy Why don't you request a trade if things are that bad for you?

Shane I can't do that I have a no trade contract

Troy Yeah. same.

Shane Oh

Ryan Hollander’s kind of right Barrett we're here to help you deal with this and know you're not alone
Ryan
Not to make things harder
Ryan
You can always talk to your coach or management about changing the no trade clause

Troy I'm not going to do that because I don't want to
Troy
I only have a year left on this contract anyways and It will be changed for next season anyway
Troy
I have no intention of leaving Toronto
Troy
So fuck all of you and don't add me to this again

Ilya Barrett
Ilya
Don't leave again
Ilya
Just silent chat and we will still be here if you need


Scott Well he didn’t leave

Ilya Is good thing, yes?

Eric I think so

Ryan It would be good for him i think
Ryan
And I'm sorry the Voyageurs are like that Shane, that must be hard on you
Ryan
If you need me to fight them next time we play you I will

Shane I think that would be good thanks Price


Ilya I GOT IT
Ilya
I got his number

Scott Who?

Ilya William Karlsson from LA

Ilya added Will Karlsson to boring people of the MLH who don't want Ilya to have fun

Will Wtf is this?

Eric Hell on earth

Ryan You will hate it here

Scott The worst idea in MHL history

Shane But you won’t want to leave

Notes:

I might add more to this, I have a few ideas but I have marked it as completed because I can't get my ideas to form an actual sentence yet. But please also leave a comment if you liked this it will be a huge motivation.

Okay I have decided there will be more but I don't know how much yet. I have Written more chapters I just need to edit them a bit before posting them
