    Summary

    “I’m sorry, Mom,” managed Shane, sobs returning. He was getting really sick of crying but it was the main reaction his body was supplying. “I really messed everything up.”

    Yuna pulled back from the hug, tugging his hands into hers. “Shane, you did nothing wrong here. We love you so much. None of this is your fault”.

    “I really tried,” he continued, stomach twisting in fear that they would be disappointed. “I swear. I didn’t mean to keep this from you. I didn’t mean for this to happen”

    “Son, you don’t need to explain anything to us.” David was trying to cut through his returned panic, keeping his hand on Shane’s shoulder. “And no apologies. We are just so sorry this happened to you.”

    ---

    It's December 2017. Shane is happy. He's figuring out how to navigate long-distance with his boyfriend, enjoying the fact that they're getting the plan together. That's until his conversation with Rose from a year earlier is leaked online. His carefully considered plans to come out to his friends and family before telling the whole world are fucked. He hasn't even started devising the plan to tell them all who he's dating. How on earth is he going to do any of that?

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.
