it’s a pool party at one of the cens houses and the wags are seated in a corner watching ilya lean by the pool to feed shane and give him some water. caitlin goes “i understand why ilya spoils shane so much, look at him, he’s so cute” and lisa adds “i don’t know how shane hasn’t been swallowed whole, there’s no way ilya isn’t having cute aggression every minute” and all of them nod in agreement and cassie asks “how did ilya “slut” rozanov end up with a literal angel?” and caitlin says “if i knew things could turn out like this i would’ve enjoyed my college days so much better” and cassie playfully slaps her they all laugh. then they look at their husbands on the other side of the pool drinking beer and eating with their mouths open and laughing too loud, they all sigh and look back at shane and ilya who are now kissing. selena goes “i hate them so much” and cassie says “they’re so cute, i can’t stand them” and harris says “i love troy but this is a whole new level” and they all agree and lisa says “the first case of healthy codependency” and they all laugh and look at shane and ilya again, now ilya is saying something to his husband and shane is looking at him with the loveliest heart eyes and the biggest brightest smile.
is one of these days that Ilya is feeling under the weather – is getting rarer at least, as the pills were finally taken effect. shane decides, after an early morning spending doting his husband in bed with extra affection, to get up so he can walk anya and go to ilya’s favorite coffee shop to buy any monstrosity sweet drink that his husband loves and pastries with more sugar.
he walks into the coffee shop and goes straight up to the barista behind the counter to place his order. he’s about to greet her she cuts him off asking “are you Ilya’s husband?”. the question caught shane of guard, but it warms his heart quickly. he gets so giddy thinking that people in ilya’s everyday life is now thinking about him as ilya’s husband. and it takes a minute for shane to compose himself cus he couldn’t stop smiling and giggling like a teenager with a crush.
“oh yeah, i’m his husband” he finally replied “can you make his coffee extra sweet?” and she smiled back “i got you”
the cens are hanging out on an off day, sitting in a circle at someone’s backyard just talking shit when someone throws out a question about the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to them. everyone starts sharing their stories, laughing and cringing. it’s all fun and games until it’s shane’s turn and he just casually goes “when i was about 8, my mom planned a birthday party for me, invited all my classmates, but no one showed up”. the whole energy in the room just shifts, everyone goes dead silent staring at him. then ilya’s voice comes out choked up like “shane... this is devastating” and he just wraps himself around his husband and starts sobbing and shane looks genuinely confused “what? it’s not embarrassing?” and boodram already tearing up goes “oh my god that’s so sad” and wyatt sniffs and goes “kids are so cruel man”. the rest of the cens is just sitting there shaking their heads saying this is heartbreaking, not embarrassing at all and even some of the rookies are getting misty eyed. that year the cens threw a massive surprise party for shane’s birthday
ottawa centaurs communication team posted a valentine’s day video montage on social media with the players answering the question “what pet names do use on your partner?” and all the cens answering usual stuff like “dear, sweetheart, angel, my love, darling, sunshine” and a whole bunch of sweet things. then it cuts to shane and ilya and shane goes “asshole, dickhead, fucker” and ilya’s like in russian “tomato, lawnmower, microwave, toothbrush”.
shane and ilya are in LA and rose landry invited them to go to a baseball match with her. ilya didn’t wanted to go at first because baseball doesn’t make sense to him, but he’s powerless against shane’s face saying “come on ilya, it’s gonna be fun”. rose is absolutely loving it, she’s on the jumbotron a lot, like well she’s famous. then the kiss cam starts and it lands right on shane and rose and they both cackles cus obviously that’s not gonna happen. then before anyone can even process it shane gets yanked to the side so fast it’s almost comical. the camera lingers on rose’s delighted surprised and amused face for a second before following the direction shane disappeared to, and it catches ilya and shane making out. the whole stadium goes wild. when ilya finally pulls back, shane is still clinging to him, face flushed and ilya looks straight to the camera and mouths very clearly “THIS IS MY MAN”. of course the whole thing went viral on the internet
shane is squishing ilya’s cheeks together making his lips pucker up and he mumbles through the squish “not gonna give me kisses?” and shane snorts and gives him a quick peck and ilya asks “just one?” so shane gives him another and ilya again “just two?” and shane laughs and gives him a big smooch then ilya goes “no shane, you need to give me a million kisses every single day, i read it in an article” and shane raises an eyebrow “what article?” and ilya just waves him off and goes “it doesn’t matter, you can’t argue with science” and shane just cackles but he’s already leaning in to give his husband a million kisses
I imagine one day when Hayden already knows Shane is gay but pre-outing they're caught on the hot mic and Hayden is insisting Shane go to some pride thing to "be a better ally" and Shane says that's ridiculous he's not an ally. Of course we know it's because he's gay but twitter doesn't and poor baby Shane gets canceled. Ilya finds the whole thing hilarious
ilya been hanging out with troy, bood, dykstra, and some of the rookies for a while now. troy glances at his phone and goes “holy shit, roz has been here with us for three whole hours” and bood’s eyes go wide like “you’re right” and then he looks at ilya genuinely concerned and asks “is everything okay man? are you and hollzy fighting or something?” and right on cue ilya’s phone alarm starts blaring and without missing a beat he chugs the rest of his beer, stands up and goes “bye” and just walks out, leaving the whole table staring after him in complete disbelief. troy turns to the rest of the guys and asks “did he really just set an alarm to time how long he was gonna hang out with us?” and dykstra says “he absolutely did” and bood just shakes his head and goes “it’s insane but also completely on brand” and dykstra adds “i’ve never seen anyone more obsessed with their partner than he is with his husband” and troy just shrugs and goes “it’s shane hollander” and everyone just nods like that explains everything.
Absolute legend
“so i talked about my obsession with you at therapy today” ilya announces the second he walks through the door and shane looks up from his phone and goes “okay? what did she said?” and ilya drops onto the couch next to him and goes “she said we need to spend more time apart because we’re together all the time and it’s making me lose my sense of individuality” and shane opens his mouth to respond but ilya keeps going “and i told her “but what if being with my husband all the time makes me genuinely happy?”and you know what she said?” and shane asks “what?” and ilya goes “she said it’s not healthy, that codependency isn’t good for a relationship” and shane is quiet for a moment and then goes “yeah, i think it’s time” and ilya nods and goes “i agree” and they both speak at the exact same time shane saying “we should find individual hobbies” and ilya “i need to find a new therapist” and shane just stares at him and goes “ilya, no”
what if shane was so so sleepy but also so horny that he let ilya fuck him nice and slow until he couldn’t hold his eyes open anymore and he mumbles to ilya to keep going before he’s out and ilya keeps thrusting oh so slowly as to not wake shane and shane feels so good and used when he wakes up in the morning
When their baby is about a year old, Shane finds Ilya opening a package containing three toys - stuffed hockey skates, a little plastic hockey stick, and a little soft net.
“What are you doing?”
“We need to figure out what position our baby will play,” Ilya explained with a grin and pointed to each toy. “Defender, forward, goalie.”
“Why are skates defender? Everybody wears skates. And everyone has a stick.”
“Shh, Hollander.”
Shane watches and holds their baby, amused, as his husband carefully sets out the three toys. Ilya sits behind the line and tells Shane to put baby down.
Their baby toddles over and looks over the three toys. Even Shane is a bit interested now, like Ilya’s test will somehow determine their child’s future position.
Their baby reaches towards the middle one, the stick, but only to push it to the side to get to Ilya, crashing into his chest with a happy giggle.
“Oh,” Ilya breathed out, looking so incredibly soft as he wrapped his arms around the little one.
He looked up a Shane with misty eyes.
Shane came over and sat beside them. He kissed the baby’s head, “good choice.”
hollanov vacation where they book a room with 2 shower heads next to each other (unknowingly) and ilya drags shane in and says omg shane it’s just like our first time 😍😍😍 and shane shakes his head while laughing and then gives his husband a very passionate blow job while the shower’s running because that’s what he always wanted to do. he also lets his husband fuck the living brain out of him because, again, that’s what they both wanted to happen
