i see your "hayden is in love with shane" and raise you a "hayden thinks shane is in love with HIM"
maybe jackie asked him about it before the aquarium trip and hayden's like "no way you're insane" and she rolls her eyes and tells him to "bring up having kids or shane dating anyone at all and see how weird he gets"
so of course he does and shane cracks a joke about hayden impregnating him and sirens start going off kill bill style and then he asks about ex-jessica and he watches shane go all distant and that's all it takes for hayden to come busting through the door of his suburban McMansion screaming "JACKIE YOU'RE RIGHT IM IRRESISTIBLE"
and now he's walking around all "the greatest hockey player of all time has a crush on me 😏" and "i can't believe i'm breaking his heart like this 🥺" and "my poor gay buddy, he needs me to set him up with someone 😤"
think of the utter devastation when he learns who shane has actually been pining for the whole time
