In the 1410 scene, I see a lot of people feeling bad for Shane when Ilya says he has an early flight and he should go. I think this is also what sets a lot of people on the path to thinking Ilya is just a fuckboi who doesn't care about Shane.

But look back 30 seconds and you'll see a big part of the reason he leaves. He was happily laying in bed with Shane, chuckling over the craziness of them getting together and this unexpected thing™ between them. He's making no move to leave, or really sit up even. He's relaxing in the bed, and I fully believe he wanted more. Likely more sex, but also, I think, at least a bit of a cuddle.

But then Shane gets all paranoid (no shade to our Shane - we all understand his very justified fear of discovery) and he tells Ilya that he can't say anything about this. Ilya tries to joke about it a bit but when it's obvious that Shane is completely serious, and terrified of the idea of them as anything known or real, THAT'S when Ilya talks about an early flight and having to leave. He leaves because he thinks now that he made Shane cum, he wants him gone.

Which is of course, basically how Ilya views himself at this point - someone people want for sex, cause he's hot and he's good at it, but not someone they want around beyond that.

Like, look at this smitten boy - he definitely wanted a litol cuddle.

so shane goes along with it, because the most important thing is getting ilya back. he says yes, rozanov, i love you too, i want a life with you. yes, we can do that. yes, i’ll meet you here. i’ll fly out after the game. but sometimes he says things like i love you, ilya. i’ve got you, ilya. we’ll figure this out, ilya. and hopes that he Understands what he’s saying, if he can even hear him, that this demon might be acting for him and talking for him but shane DOES love him, the real him, and he IS doing his best to figure it all out.

eventually he gets marlow (italian catholic, so he knows he won’t think he’s crazy) to help him, because he’s ALSO noticed that shit is off with ilya, and through marlow gets sveta involved. rose played a possessed nun in some horror flick a few years ago, and happens to have the number of an actual vatican-approved exorcist. they have a groupchat and everything. so there ARE people who think it’s weird when he and shane just vanish, when they both stop answering their phones, etc etc. so they mobilise the troops and figure out theyre at shanes insane sex condo (demons are too old to know what find my friends is) and demon is Definitely trying to enact its plan to Kill Shane And Make Ilya Watch

Steve collapses in Eddie’s passenger seat, shaking and ugly crying. Eddie has no clue what to do, so he just awkwardly pets Steve’s hair like he’s a stray dog. “Shit, Munson,” Steve sniffs, “you probably think I’m a pussy.” And Eddie goes dead serious shaking his head “No, man. I don’t.”

They are parked outside Steve’s dark empty house smoking what’s left of Eddies lunch box and Steve tells him everything. Nancy. Him losing friends and how it feels to be King of nothing. Eddie’s floored they’re even talking, let alone like this. But then Steve whispers it. “I just want to run away.”

Eddie doesn’t even blink. “Okay.”

Steve, startled: “Okay what?”

they're at the kingfisher after a game in new york and scott and some of the other admirals are there along with a majority of the cens and they're all having a good time. ilya and some random admirals player are chirping each other and ilya says something a little mean in the asshole way he does with a small tilt of his lips. and shane can suddenly feel eyes on him from scott and carter and troy and various other players, and for a second he doesn't get it. he doesn't get it, until all he does is snort in response, because well, it was true and also pretty funny and ilya really is the funniest person he knows, okay, and ilya nudges him with a small smile when he hears it, but then the stares slowly morph into something like confused gapes, and all of a sudden, he gets it. it's not the first time it happens and it definitely won't be the last, but shane starts noticing it a lot more and it continues to piss. him. the. fuck. off.

hayden giving him an expectant glance when ilya is half-yelling and groaning with a few cens in the bar at the soccer game on tv, like shane is for some reason gonna tell him to quiet down. scott giving him a quick side-eye when ilya chirps about his age on the ice, like shane is gonna tell him to stop; like he doesn't find the multiple layers to ilya's chirps to scott genuinely impressive, like he doesn't find it amusing. evan, though to his credit he was mostly joking, making a sly comment about shane needing to hold ilya back from fighting during a game, like shane would do that when ilya is well-fucking-aware of when to pick fights and when not to because he is the second-best hockey player in the league; like shane doesn't also find it unbearably hot when ilya has a little blood on his knuckles and dripping down the corner of his lips as he calls out mean little quips at the other team with a smirk on his face

because the thing about their relationship is that shane is undeniably attracted to ilya being an asshole. he thinks it's funny. it almost definitely also turns him on. and he likes when ilya is mean and smug and rowdy and a little shit. he likes when ilya is an asshole to him because that's their banter and their foreplay. he likes when ilya is an asshole to other people because he pretty much always thinks what ilya says is hilarious. (plus it's the fact that shane is also an asshole; it's just that ilya says it out loud more often than he does)

and so the thing about their relationship that, for some fucking reason, other people don't get is that shane, from the very beginning, has always and will continue to like when ilya is an asshole. and yes, they're married (shane also thinks some people seem to forget this, because why would shane marry ilya if he truly doesn't like ilya's personality. he thinks other people are a little stupid sometimes.) but they're also best friends and bond over being the best at what they do and how competitive they are and that they're both a little bitchy at times

Ilya pinned down by Shane's muscled thighs, arms handcuffed to the bed frame, nipples raw and red from being tease for hours. His dick leaking and borderline purple from how hard it is. He cries and begs for Shane to pleasepleasepleasetouchmeShenyaplease

Shane working Ilya's thick, hot cock over and over, wringing orgasm after orgasm out of him until Ilya's reduced to nothing but whining, babbling and sobbing, telling him that he can take it, just one more for him baby, just one more.

Ilya on his knees at the edge of the bed, eating Shane out, chin slick with spit, whimpering at the taste and shivering at the condescending praises coming out Shane's mouth

"What a good boy, doing the only thing you're good at. Nothing but a pretty toy for me, just a hot mouth for me to use. You like it, baby? Like how I taste? You're right where you're meant to me. Just a pretty thing between my legs"

Shane riding Ilya hard and fast, stopping every time Ilya's whimpers get too high, a sign he's about to cum. He keeps him on the edge for hours, loving every broken moan and whine he forces out of Ilya's lips.

"Only thing you're good for, you don't get to cum. I need your big, useless cock to get myself off since you just can't do it right, huh baby? Just a hole drunk whore for me"

Ilya fucking Shane, trying to keep a steady pace as Shane whispers how good of a puppy he's being, fucking his owner just like he likes into his ear, gasping at Shane's hand twisted into his curls, yanking until spikes of pain shoots straight to his dick.

Shane deciding that Ilya should be punished for the little fight he got into on the ice, not allowing him to touch Shane the way he wants to. If Ilya wants to get off, he has to by only fucking Shane's barely squeezed together thighs.

It's not enough friction to make him cum, he tries to anyway when Shane tells him he must cum now or he won't for a week.

and ilya is first and foremost happy that everyone loves shane. and secondly, he is jelous that everyone loves shane. he wants to fight them all. he would fight god for him. apparently everyone finds his man hot. oh yay... oh nay.

it even becomes a meme! wags start it by doing a fuck marry kill thingy on tiktok or ig, and at first its the boston wags with "marry ilya 🥰, FUCK HOLLANDER (for taking him from us) 🤬, kill hunter 🥰" but then it escalates to "marry connors 😍, FUCK HOLLANDER (shouting with full chest) 🥵, kill pike 😇"

and after a bunch of wags did this, the players themselves have to do it for their teams social media team. and they are all "i guess fuck hollander... holy shit he has the goods (ass) 🥵" or "yeah, fuck hollander! its unfair that rozanov has took him off the market literally the second he hit it. 🥴 everybody wants a piece of that"

meanwhile #myshane gets messages like "HIM!?" "serously, hIMM?!" "what am i missing?" "give me a chance, i can be so much better than rozanov" "what do you see in him?"
