Summary:

janetheloon
I’ll try not to ask much about Russia or family from now on.

lilybear
You can distract me instead if you want to make it up to me? 🙂

janetheloon
I'm still saying no to sexting.

lilybear
Ugh shut up, I mean. Tell me something else. A show you watched, songs you like?

janetheloon
Hmm.
Well, my cousin made me listen to an album by a boy band a while ago.
And I guess it made me think of you?

OR

After Las Vegas, Shane and Ilya find a better way to communicate: talking via Instagram DMs and sending songs to each other. Here are snippets of their conversations as they fall in love.

Notes:

I'm back??? I can't believe Hollanov got me to write another fic wtf 😂 This ship is seriously getting me back into writing AND urging me to try new things because tell me why I am now publishing my first ever texting/social media fic?!

This is post-Las Vegas 2014/Episode 2 in the show, because I wanted them to communicate so painfully. Also, I have a "hockey yaoi" playlist with over 70 songs that just remind me of Hollanov and their whole storyline, so that might have inspired me for this fic.

Another thing, let's please ignore the release dates of the songs 😂 And turn on Creator's Style please!

Chapter 1: if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms

janetheloon

Hi

lilybear

Hello

janetheloon

Are you sure about us talking here? Instagram DMs?

lilybear

Yes, is okay

This way you and I don't have to spend so much on texts while I’m in Russia 😝

janetheloon

I mean I’m a professional hockey player, I can pay for it

You can pay for it too

lilybear

Jane that is financially not responsible of you

I am proud, I think

janetheloon

Shut up

lilybear

😂😂

But seriously

Is good here I swear. We even use dummy accounts see, not our official ones

janetheloon

Okay, if you say so.

lilybear

Ok. Now be honest

Are you still mad about Vegas?

janetheloon

What? No, I’m not mad

lilybear

Hollander

You said we should talk more. We’re here. Talk to me.

janetheloon

Okay not mad, but just…embarrassed and a little hurt, I guess

lilybear

What why?

Did I hurt you?

janetheloon

No, no

lilybear

But?

janetheloon

You didn’t physically hurt me, I guess

lilybear

Jane

janetheloon

Lily

lilybear

Please, tell me now. I fix it

janetheloon

It's just

It was hot yes, I liked it. But after…after it, you just made me feel small. You ignored me for 6 months and made me feel so small and replaceable

We didn't even kiss

And I’m sorry if now I’m ranting or whining, and I know it's just casual

But I thought I mattered just a little bit, thought we cared about each other enough

Fuck I’m sorry

lilybear

No no no, fuck of course you matter

Hollander, fuck i am sorry

Please do not say sorry

I am sorry

In Sochi, it was bad…and not safe for me, or us

I was scared, I’m still scared

So I ignore you for six months

And in Vegas, I thought I could protect myself and you

And talking about family… is not good for me. It just makes me a little angry, maybe sad

I am sorry

janetheloon

Oh, Lily. That sucks. Thank you for sharing it now

I'm sorry as well. I didn't know that. I just really wanted to check up on you. Nothing else.

lilybear

Is okay. Like you said, you didn't know. Maybe we should talk more

janetheloon

Glad to see you admit I was right.

I’ll try not to ask much about Russia or family from now on.

lilybear

You can distract me instead if you want to make it up to me? 🙂

janetheloon

I'm still saying no to sexting.

lilybear

Ugh shut up, I mean. Tell me something else. A show you watched, songs you like?

janetheloon

Hmm.

Well, my cousin made me listen to an album by a boy band a while ago.

And I guess it made me think of you? https://sptfy.in/xqhs

lilybear

“A boyband” he says

Jane that is the biggest boyband in the world

janetheloon

Okay so? I don't care about them

It made me think of you

lilybear

Ok I will listen

Wow

This song is funny 😂

“if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms

And if you like having secret little rendezvous”

Hollander, is this song about us???

janetheloon

😂😂

That’s why I said it reminded me of you

lilybear

How did One Direction know??

janetheloon

I don’t think we’re the only ones meeting up in hotel rooms in the world, Lily.

They might draw from their own or others’ experiences, I guess.

Okay, your turn then.

lilybear

My turn?

janetheloon

Yes, send me a song you like.

lilybear

Ok. wait

This one https://sptfy.in/pdpj

janetheloon

Ariana Grande? You listen to her?

lilybear

What you think I can’t listen to pop princess Ariana Grande?

janetheloon

No, no, not that! I actually thought you were going to send me something in Russian. Which would have been totally fine, too

Also, pop princess?

lilybear

Yes, she is the princess of pop, obviously

I listen to her and other American artists a lot.

When I came to America, my English was still not that good, yes?

So I listened to American pop and top hits and all that shit

They help me learn more, I think, about the language and culture

janetheloon

Hey, that’s actually smart.

So you ended up liking Ariana Grande then?

lilybear

Hmm yes, she is good. And I like this song in particular

janetheloon

Why this song?

lilybear

Lets just say it’s really catchy

janetheloon

“Been waiting and waiting for you to make a move”?

Are you losing your touch, Lily? 😏

lilybear

What? No! You take that back! I just like the song!

janetheloon

😂😂😂

lilybear

You know what, I’m surprised

janetheloon

Of what?

lilybear

That you actually listen to music

janetheloon

What? Of course I do.

I’m familiar with only a few artists, and I listen to specific songs that I really, really like. I just don’t know much about “pop culture”.

Do people really think I don’t listen to music?

lilybear

Well, that’s according to people and media.

They think you have no personality and only care about hockey

janetheloon

And you believe them?

lilybear

Of course not. I know better. I know you’re boring.

But you’re also the most interesting person I know

janetheloon

I am?

Wait

Are you fucking with me, Rozanov?

lilybear

What no! Is the truth, I swear

I like this. I like talking to you

I like

Knowing you.

janetheloon

Oh.

I like getting to know you, too 😌

 

Notes:

This work's chat conversations were created with Fictional Messenger!! A big thank you to the team behind this project because I do not have all the time and brain power to do the coding involved in texting and social media fics. I am so in awe of the authors who do just that! 😭

Anyway, if you're here, please let me know what you think! Thank you so much for reading!!
