Everything about this piece is just so perfect to me and I adore it!!! 😍😍😍

cliff marleau laying a blanket over it as inconspicuously as possible to try and get roz to fall in like a looney toons trap which he gets ONCE rozys first or second year and then roz doesnt go to the beach with him for 5 years.

cliff marleau with sunburn lines from his whore short swim trunks and constant sunglasses on his face.

cliff marleau trying surfing every year and wiping out IMMEDIATELY every year (he still tries over and over for an hour every year. this year will be the year he gets it. this year will be the year he succeeds. this year is not the year he gets it. this year is not the year he succeeds.)

cliff marleau building shitty sand castles and decorating them with shells and shit he finds on the shore.

big dick cliff marleau and big dick ilya rozanov in tabloids in the summer for their whore short swim trunks and clear dick print in the pap pics. they’re sunburnt and laughing and cliff is mid thigh deep into digging his beach pit and they’re dripping wet and will have heat stroke by the end of the day because they didnt drink enough water.

cliff marleau getting a mouthful of sea water because hes diving for a cool shell before the current pulls it out, he wants it for his sand castles or for his sea shell bucket (the kiddie bucket he used to dig out The Pit).

cliff marleau being slowly taken out to sea while someone’s trying to tell him from the shore, hes having too much fun to care. roz watching him slowly get further out and snapping a pic to post with “defense position open, ours is a fish😒”. he stops doing this and is more aware of how far out he is after 3 years when his mother finds out about this behavior and damn near grounds him to his room.

cliff marleau off season summer fun and hes lathering himself in aloe 20 minutes before he does sunscreen and goes right back outside for the whole day.

Chirping other players, on and off the ice? That's just hockey. Ilya knows where the line is and if he crosses it, you deserve it. Saying shit in press conferences that no one else ever would? Shane's actually more upset that his years of media training means he'll never be able to bring himself to respond that way. Being unhinged on the internet? Shane is blushing and kicking his feet.

Shane would definitely have a hard time connecting with Troy at the beginning but then Ilya says something about Shane's food habits when they are ordering food for the team and Troy not only gets offended, but comes to Shane's defense full tilt. "ILYA!!! What the fuck!!Why are you making fun of your man's order. Salmon and brown rice is delicious!!! That's my favorite meal!!!" Then Shane and Troy spend the lunch discussing the benefits of their performance diets and comparing notes on food prepping for optimal fuel value per caloric intake.

Ilya stands by Harris, stunded by Troy's betrayal and wondering if he should be jealous. But he quickly forgets about it when Harris says, "Those two can't possibly have functioning taste buds. Who doesn't like cookies and cream ice cream?" As he hands Ilya a loaded bowl of ice cream.

Then they become couple besties because:

Exhibit A: Harris and Ilya

Loud as fuck, in everyone's business, love yummy food, music and being with friends, and super proud of their queerness.

Exhibit B: Shane and Troy

Obsessed about being at peak performance, not really aware of how hot they are, trauma bonded over stupid shit they've done because of fear of being outted and most importantly, quiet bitches that can tear anyone up in a heart beat.

Exhibit C: Harris and Shane

Media training (They each could have a TedTalk or a podcast), Ottawa because "what do you mean they closed the place that made the good smoothies?" and family because these boys love their families.

Exhibit D: Ilya and Troy
