They don't know about us

Summary:

When in the 20/21 season Shane is forced to come out, Ilya is not far behind him.
Twitter sees this as a chance to get the two rivals together, with help from their teammates.

Except they’re already in a relationship, unbeknownst to everyone.

 

(Hayden already knows like in the original timeline)

Notes:

I saw this post on Threads and decided to give it a try!!!

This is my first (almost) completely twitter soc med fic, so I'm a bit nervous :)

You should act like it's normal that athletes are this active on Twitter, thank you.

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

To: Farah

Hi Shane!

I need to discuss something with you, nothing to be worried about just yet, but it’s important to talk about.

Hey Farah!

What’s up?

Through several Social Media platforms there has been an anonymous source claiming to have inside information about you coming out to your team. We are trying to nip it in the bud before it gets worse, but we haven’t found the person responsible yet.

How could someone have inside information?

What does this mean for me?

Oh my god, is someone trying to out me?

We can't be sure. There is no proof that this person has actual evidence, and for now the posts haven’t gained a lot of traction.

But if it’s true, and they really have inside information, then it must be someone working for the Metros or at least close to them. That makes them already easier to find.

Can I do anything?

Should I do anything?

For now, I don’t think you should do anything. We will keep track of what’s going on and keep you updated if it gets any worse. For now, it’s just good for you to be aware of what’s going on.

Should I be thinking about a public coming out? I know word has already gotten out to a few other teams, considering my teammates are not always subtle.

You could consider it, but you shouldn’t feel forced to do it because of one person. Especially if their allegations turn out to be fake.

Okay. Thank you for telling me.

If you have any questions, you can always call me later.

And Shane, don’t be worried. I’m sure we’ll get on top of it.

Thank you, Farah.

We have your back, always.




anonymous on twitter @anonymoustwitteruser

Around midnight I will be releasing a video on Twitter that has clear proof that Metros Captain Shane Hollander is gay. The video will include the reaction of his team to his coming out, which is truly horrific.

To: Farah

04:12 PM

Have you seen that Twitter post?

How serious is this threat?

Hi, Shane.

Yes, we have seen it, and we are trying to find who is behind it.

It’s not like you’ve been successful in finding whoever it was before.

Sorry, that was rude. I’ve been really stressed.

Don’t worry, I understand. Do you have anyone with you?

Yeah, Ilya is here, he drove to Montreal as soon as he saw the post.

Good.

I want you to think about what you want to do. We can spend our time trying to figure out who’s behind it, maybe stopping them in time or maybe not.

Or we can come up with a different plan.

Would that different plan involve me coming out publicly?

Yes. It would most likely help if you came out on your own terms, rather than through a video.

If they really have an insider video, that will definitely be a shitshow.

We also have to consider the possibility that this person doesn’t have any proof at all. Which would mean coming out could turn out to be unnecessary.

Yes, I understand.

I will talk to Ilya and get back to you.

Okay. Good luck, and we will figure it out.

Thanks.

05:46 PM

Hi, Farah.

After talking to my parents and Ilya, I have decided that it’s best for me to get ahead of the rumors.

Hi, Shane.

You want to come out publicly?

Want to? No.

Going to? Yes.

I can imagine that was a tough decision. I think it’s smart to get ahead of everything. And it’s also really brave.

It’s not like I’m the first.

That does not take away from how scary it can be.

Do you want help drafting a statement?

Yeah, that would be great.

Okay, I will call you in about twenty minutes.

Thank you, Farah.




Shane Hollander @shanehollanderhockeyplayer ✅

It has come to my attention that someone intends to publicize a video where I would be seen coming out to my team as gay. If this video really exists, it has been taken without my consent. I want to ask whoever has it, to not make it public. It was a private conversation with my team, and in a locker room on top of everything else.

That being said, I want to publicly come out as gay. I have always been gay, and this has never affected my hockey. My team has known for a while and we know how rumors can spread, which means other teams might already be aware of it.

I would like to ask people not to speculate on my sexuality or potential relationships. It is not by choice that I am coming out today, although it’s not something that I planned to keep a secret much longer.

I would like to ask for privacy during this time.

Your Captain,
Shane Hollander

@shanehollanderhockeyplayer I have no video or pictures to show for it, but I can promise that you won't find a man more patient than Ilya Rozanov.
He has helped me dozens of times with hockey or personal things, and never once rushed me.
I would be fast if I were you, before someone snatches him away.

I think someone has a little crush… 👀

[Video of Ilya watching the TV in the bar, not at all focused on his teammates around him. The camera flips to show an AD of Shane coming up on the screen. When it turns back to Ilya, he has a lovesick smile on his face.]

How about this?

[Picture of Ilya standing in front of a billboard, seemingly frozen in place. On the billboard is a huge picture of Shane advertising a drink.]

You are a lying liar who lies.


J.J. Boiziau @boiziau.jj ✅
I was very excited when capitaine said yes to going out with us, since he never does!! Should have known he would only have eyes for someone else. 👀

[Video of Shane watching the TV in the bar with quiet intensity. Ottawa can be seen playing a game on screen. The camera man walks closer, catching the slight smile Shane has on his face as he keeps watching.]

You know I saw that video of you too, right? How embarrassing.

Shane Hollander @shanehollanderhockeyplayer ✅

I would like to announce that @ilyarozanov81 and I are in a committed relationship and have been for multiple years.
The support we have gotten the past few months has been overwhelming in the best way possible.
This is why we decided to finally go public.
To the fans, thank you.
To my fiancé, I love you.
Your captain,
Shane Hollander

Ilya Rozanov @ilyarozanov81 ✅

When I was seventeen and a boy with pretty freckles shook my hand twice, I was done for.
I did not need the internet to convince me of that, even though the past few months have been a lot of fun 😈


mabel @shilyasthird

replying to @delulunov

i’m acting cool but i'm in fact not cool at all, because what do you mean i was right and they have been together since the beginning and everything i saw was most likely indeed proof of their relationship and they were BABIES when they got together and they’re still together and out in the open and i’m so proud i can’t believe it 😭😭💓


shilya <3 @hollanov4ever

i would like to formally extend my apologies for doubting you…
