    Summary

    Summary

    “Jar!” Hayes calls out from across the room.

    “What? We didn’t even do anything!” Shane insists, rather indignantly.

    “Oh, please. You can’t look at each other like that and call it nothing. I know that look - I have a wife.”

    “So I can’t look at my husband now?” Ilya whines. “This is workplace bullying!”

     

    (Or, the Centaurs get Ilya and Shane a PDA jar. It doesn’t work.)

    Summary

    The top tweet read: Rozanov did not win that game. Hollander won it from the bench with VIBES and a JERSEY two sizes too big.

    The side-by-side said it all: Ilya looking derailed by Shane casually adjusting his sleeve.

    Another chimed in: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MARRY YOUR CAPTAIN.

    Ilya gets distracted mid-match because his husband wears his jersey.

    Harris makes a PR decision. The internet makes it worse.

    Featuring: one cursed jersey bet, one tired PR manager, and a fanbase that has decided Shane Hollander controls his husband with eye contact alone.

    Summary

    “I told you. Hollander and I, we are in love. He is my hockey player.” Ilya wiggled his eyebrows at the joke, but couldn’t keep himself from watching Scott Hunter.
    “Sure, Roz. You and Hollander are in love, want to get married, spend the rest of your lives playing hockey together.” When Ilya didn’t immediately reply to that very accurate statement, Hunter continued: “If you two are in love, I’m straight. That’s how likely that is.” He had laughed and skated away, though Ilya really hadn’t understood what was supposed to be funny about that.
    Standing alone on the ice, the crowd slowly filing out of the rink, Ilya was faced with a startling realization: telling people may be harder than he thought.
    or
    What if Shane gave Ilya permission to soft launch their relationship. Ilya is, of course, thrilled and immediately starts telling everyone around him. Problem is, no one believes him!
