    Summary

    Hayes frowned. “Did the Voyageurs leadership not see this coming? My sister said pretty much all of her friends have been talking about how Shane got done dirty, for months. Like, did the franchise not think that this city might have opinions about them running their star player, their three-time Cup winning Captain, the player of all time, out of town because he’s gay? Where the town in question is fucking Montreal, the gay capital of the continent of North America?”

    __________________________________________________________

    All eyes are on Montreal and Ottawa now that Shane Hollander is a Centaur. It's going to be a big year for the Cens, assuming they can get past their first game against the Voyageurs... and their second... and their third? Maybe it won't be as simple as playing one game and proving everybody wrong.

    Summary

    ===
    Fate liked to torture him, so Shane looked at Ilya.
    "What do you think?" He asked shyly, much less amused by all this when Ilya stayed quiet. He hasn't spoken a word since Shane left the bathroom. "I think…I think I could grow to like the eyeliner, but…"
    Ilya interrupted him with an unidentifiable sound that left his tight throat. He cleared it, trying to hold himself together.
    "Is nice." He mumbled out. "Pretty dress."
    ===

    In which ilya thinks he's straight, until he sees his gay best friend dressed up in drag as a joke (he gets so hard he almost faints).

    Summary

    Ilya does not have time for this. It’s almost incredible, and frankly humiliating, how fast his anger has been extinguished by burning worry. Shane’s right, he should be furious. But that’s not Ilya’s priority, now. ‘’Hollander, are you listening, yes?’’, Ilya insists. He confusedly stares at his reflection on the window. When did he even got up from the couch? ‘’Where are you?’’, he repeats, stressing on every word with a careful pause.

    Shane seems intentioned to ignore Ilya’s bleeding questions like’s a sacred mission. Just to make his heart dry out from paranoia, probably. The silence is broken by a sniff, followed by a gulp. Shane sounds now far from the phone: 

    ‘’Rose. Rose, he’s mad’’, he moans in a strangled whisper. 

    Ilya’s body freezes. 

     

    Or, Shane and Rose break up, and they’re up to celebrations. Rose decides it’s time for Shane to distract himself for a night. It absolutely doesn’t go as planned.
