Shane is kind of exasperated but also delighted because he lovesssss taking care of his baby boy so of course he buys Ilya whatever he wants. Ilya is so proud to be thee Shane Hollander's sexy controversially young (by one month) boyfriend and he brags about it constantlyyy after they're married. Like Oh yes I was just sexy sidepiece but he fell in love with me so hard he married me. And Shane is standing next to him like 🙄 as if he didn't just buy Ilya $2000 worth of fancy appetizers and drinks on their date last night.

Reactions to the news are mixed. Their friends tell them they think it's romantic, while doing their best to hide the fact that they're glad this is not happening to them. Yuna’s parents do nothing to hide their disappointment in David. They've always known Yuna was too headstrong for her own good, but they thought he was a nice young man. David’s mother is ecstatic and his father promises to give them whatever support they need, but behind closed doors mourns the fact that his son is following in his footsteps.

David is head-over-heels in love, and in over his head overwhelmed. Yuna is adamant that this changes nothing about her hopes and dreams. Adding a baby to her 5 year plan is just an adjustment. Marrying David was a dependent factor with a high degree of probability, so moving the wedding up in the timeline is not a failure it’s just adaptation. And she is nothing but adaptable. She'll show them.

The administration at their conservative catholic school is openly hostile. When Yuna ends up having to be on bed rest for the last month of her pregnancy, they almost won't let her take her exams early, despite they fact that she gets all the paperwork turned in on time. She’s worried, for maybe the first time, that something won’t go to plan and this will all come crashing down around her. In the end it takes a strategic application of dogged determination and a call to the family lawyer, but she is finally allowed to finish out her schooling.

Shane is just shy of four months when they pack everything they own into Mr. Hollander’s Chevy and Yuna’s Jeep and head to McGill. They get a small off campus apartment that they pay for with Yuna’s full time job and David’s father’s generous monthly assistance. Yuna goes to night school because she’s not about to let David sacrifice his hockey scholarship just so that she can graduate a little earlier. Him being on the team is really hot important to her for totally practical reasons.

They slowly but surely form a little community patched together with friends from classes, from Yunas job, and from the team. They are the only parents, but that’s ok. No one judges them.

Shane is the best behaved baby in the entire world. They have no idea how they got so lucky. David has to bring him to two of his classes per week to accommodate Yuna’s schedule, and it takes half a semester for the professors to notice there’s a baby in the audience. He is the hockey team mascot. Their friends fight to babysit him. He is so loved.

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Old Millennial American speaking here. I need you to adopt this mentality as early as possible and hold to it. The older you get, the harder it is to begin this practice and claw back the extremely unhealthy effects of a workaholic lifestyle. I am speaking from 20 years of experience.

This does not mean having a shitty attitude at work, or not doing your job, or relying on co-workers to carry your water.

This means you do what it says above. It also means not making work and productively your entire personality; not tying your productivity to your value; and not becoming so emotionally enmeshed in your work and workplace so that you are living and dying by what happens there.

Baby rookies scared as fuck to get assigned to live with Hollanov, but when they show up it's like a glorified daycare

Shane and Ilya are so parent-coded, they have snacks in the pantry, drinks in the fridge, a curfew, AN ALLOWANCE

Dinner has a specific time and you're expected to be there, help set the table, and clean up afterwards

Shane's upper lip after kissing + the infamous strings of spit

stuff on there about how hot ilya is and about how he wants ilya to fuck him. more stuff about how he won’t mind if shane was there (luca was a hollanov truther, remember). even more about how ilya has the best body in the league and how everyone wants to ride his dick. including luca. more stuff about how ilya is the hottest guy in the league and they want to have him at least once. luca reblogging it with drool face emojis and words that he never wanted his idol to see

luca is mortified. absolutely just wanting to die. and then ilya tells him that it’s okay, he’s used to that kind of attention. he brings luca close to him, his mouth near his ear, just like:

“do you want to suck my dick, shchenok? is that what you want? is big. you will choke”

luca, completely shocked, explaining that he doesn’t have a gag reflex. ilya laughs and grabs his face, tilting luca’s head so that luca is looking at him.

“oh, so you can take it all. is very nice. you can suck my dick and shane’s too. show off for us”

which is why it makes it even harder for him to believe that a man like cliff marleau would want him, because why would he? cliff was outgoing, he enjoyed sex with multiple people, he was gorgeous, he was captain of one of the best teams in the league. what in the hell would he want with luca haas, of all people?

that first “i love you” almost knocks luca for a loop. cliff seems so sincere saying it, as if he meant it with his whole heart. he can’t believe that someone is choosing him, that someone wants to spend their life with him. he isn’t just a good time. he isn’t going to be used and tossed aside. this is it. this is absolutely it

it’ll be nine in the morning on a random wednesday morning and luca is texting the group chat things like “i want to be fucked in nothing but my black backwards hat. the one that ilya loves so much” and “i really want a dick in the back of my throat right now 🤭” and “i’m fingering my ass so hard and i want one of you to come over here and fuck it. i’m looking at you, ilya 😉🫣”
