Billy took the phone back and slipped it in his pocket. "Im not too worried sweetheart. Hockey season won't last forever and I can be very patient for someone I think will be worth it." He said, staring down at the younger man. " Your freckles are beautiful." He complimented. " It suits you well." The older man was trying to see what would make this man crack. He was so curious and something reminded him of his younger self. Maybe Shane wasn't out. That could be worked with. At the very least Billy knew he was getting under his skin in some way if he could make him blush like that.
" Maybe I'll come to a game. Never been to a sports game before." He cleared his throat. " Im into horror movies and true crime but for you? Id be interested in anything." He said with nothing but charm laced in his words. " Im going to call you in a couple days. You should answer." The warm air blew around them and it started getting dark as the sun went down. " I'll talk to you later handsome." He winked at him before turning and walking back towards his truck.
Sure enough a couple nights later, Billy called Shane's phone. He wasn't sure if he would answer but he was hopeful.
It all happened so fast that Shane hardly had time to process the interaction. The compliments (advances?) came one after another in such quick succession that he was utterly speechless. In fact, by the time Billy started mentioning coming to a game, Shane was still stuck on the way he'd called him 'sweetheart.'
But if his blank, somewhat slack-jawed staring put the other man off, it didn't show at all. And the whole encounter left Shane's head absolutely spinning.
He really didn't think he'd ever hear from Billy again. He was sure he'd acted like such a fool that he'd think twice about calling... But then he called. He was calling now, and Shane was staring at his phone.
He shouldn't answer. He knew he shouldn't. But he was just so goddamn curious to know why... so he answered.
"Hello?"
" Then why don't I give you my number. Maybe when you have some free time, we can work something out." He said, determined to pull this guy in. He could see his ears red and it was cute. It made Billy wonder just how much more he could get him to blush. " No pressure. Just one hot guy wanting to get to know another one." He smiled and pulled out his iPhone. " Maybe even go for coffee if you're into more casual."
Billy pulled out his glasses and put them on so he could find his number for Shane. " Sorry new phone number." He mumbled, not wanting to say he was severely dyslexic and couldn't read well. " Oh here it is." He handed over the phone for Shane.
"Um... yeah, okay," he said. Because what else was he going to say? He didn't want to be rude or hurt the guy's feelings.
By now, he could feel his ears burning, and he was trying very hard to make it stop before the redness started spreading to his face. Even so, his gaze flickered between Billy's face and his hands, not knowing where to focus. In the midst of his internal struggle, it occurred to Shane that Billy was really nice to look at. And for a split second, he was a little distracted.
But when he was handed the phone, Shane blinked and returned to reality, eyes immediately going to the screen. He stared at the number for a moment before realizing he should take out his own phone and enter the number. He tapped out the number quickly before pressing the call button on his phone. As soon as Billy's phone lit up, he ended the call and handed it back over.
"Great, so... Um. I should warn you, I'm not great at texting back all the time. I get really focused about hockey, and it kind of just... takes over."
Understatement of the century.

shane almost doesn't hear it when ilya says that. he's just a bit lost in his own little world. how could he not be, when ilya is here, looking like that? looking at him like that? & he's tired now, obviously. their encounters always leave him exhausted in the best way. so in his blissful daze, he's staring a little, & he's rubbing one of ilya's curls between his fingers, appreciating how soft & silky it feels.
but a moment after he speaks, shane realizes he's just spoken, so his gaze flickers to meet his eyes.
" am i? " a small smile tugs at his lips as his gaze returns to the lock of hair that he's been inspecting. " i could say the same for you, you know. "
Billy knew how to be charming and that was something he was good at. " Apparently I should be if youre the big shot in it." He looked him up and down, not being shy about it. " I'll be honest with you. I don't actually have a clue who you are. I just thought you were one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen." He had seen alot over his time in prison so he had quite the experience to back his claim.
" Can I buy you dinner sometime?" He asked bluntly, not wanting to let him get away too easy. " Even if it's just as friends?" He gauged the water, trying to piece what Shane was into.
Were his ears burning? They sure felt like it. He really wasn't sure how to respond to that. It wasn't the first time this kind of thing had happened to him, but even with all the other times it had happened, he'd never been sure of how to handle the situation. He didn't think those other times had gone badly, but he also didn't feel like they had gone well.
"Ah — that's, um..." He lifted a hand to rub the back of his neck. "That's very kind of you, but, uh... I'm a pretty busy guy. Not a whole lot of... free time. Especially this time of year."

Billy wasnt into sports and hadnt watched them but he watched people and noticed this dark haired man seemed to be famous. Billy was famous in his own way but this other man definitely wasn't like him. His energy was too good and part of billy knew he should leave. Shouldn't corrupt him but he stuck out his hand. " Billy Loomis." He smiled, pretending he knew who Shane was. He just had seen kids run off with his autograph and played off that. " You're prettier in person." He complimented with a smirk and look over him.
Oh. Okay. He was flirting... that was flirting, right? He knew that guys didn't typically call other guys pretty unless they were flirting, but there was still that little grain of doubt. Sometimes, he thought something was fact only to find out that he was dead wrong. So. He needed more information.
Not that he was going to encourage this guy. Billy. He was handsome, sure, but Shane... he wasn't... gay.
"Thanks, Billy," he replied, his polite smile never wavering. "It's nice to meet you too." There was a small pause before he added, "Are you a Metros fan?"

shane had absolutely no idea who he was talking to. but he was kind of used to interactions like this. being who he was, the die-hard hockey fans everywhere knew his face. even some casual fans could recognize him too. so maybe this guy was one of them?
tilting his head a little curiously, he offered the man a polite smile.
" yeah, for sure . . . sorry — what did you say your name was again? "
thinking about how my shane and ilya photo tags are fall out boy lyrics and how their about tags are taylor swift lyrics................. bc i love parallels................

#⧼ 🏒 ༄ HEATED RIVALRY
shane hollander, captain of the montreal voyageurs/metros, is one of the best hockey players in the nhl. maybe he's not the most sociable, but who cares? he's phenomenal. depending on who you ask, he's the best in the league. though some might argue ilya rozanov is.
the narrative has always been montreal versus boston, hollander versus rozanov, since the very start of their careers... but for just as long, they've shared a secret. an arrangement that would put everything they've worked so hard for at risk. for years, ilya rozanov and shane hollander have been hooking up in secret.
it's a bad idea, a dangerous one. one that shane should really, really end. yet every time they see each other, he just can't ever bring himself to end it. but with time, his feelings towards their arrangement, towards ilya, change. they grow into something more. something that scares him.
one day, he knows, he'll have to face those feelings... but when?
⸺ the long game.
#⧼ 🏒 ༄ THE LONG GAME
after nearly a decade of loving each other in secret, ilya's contract with the boston bears/raiders ends, and he signs with the ottawa centaurs to become their new captain. and things go just as he and shane had planned. ilya moves to ottawa, they start the irina foundation together, and life gets better... sort of.
with ilya in ottawa, it means he'll only be two hours away from shane all year round! everything is going according to plan... almost. what shane didn't account for was how hard it was going to be to continue keeping his relationship and a crucial part of his identity secret from everybody. his parents know, of course. and rose. hayden will get there eventually, but jj and the team...
and to make matters worse, his teammates have gotten... weird. since scott hunter came out. they'd always made homophobic jokes, of course. that was just how hockey players were. but since hunter went public, they'd gotten very specific. graphic. and it was very uncomfortable for shane.
as captain, he tried using the old "okay, let's keep things professionals, guys" excuse a few times, but obviously, it never really worked, and often times, it backfired on him. he became the target of their comments, because of course he did. he was used to it. and yet it bothered him more these days. probably because they were so close to the truth.
despite how happy he is that ilya is so much closer, that his parents know about them, and that his team is still doing pretty great, shane still feels... bad. like he's barely holding it together. like one false move will cause his carefully constructed monument of his life to come crashing down. the fear of being outed is looming over him, and he's trying to patch up all the cracks in his defenses the only way he knows how: by taking control.
but taking control can only help him so much. one day, something's gonna give. the question is, what will and when?

if you see me recycling parts of my ilya's verses for shane......... shhhhh..........

❛ So… what do you do? ❜
