Euripides - Original (408 BCE)
The first line here doesn’t get enough love! Everyone knows “It’s rotten work” / “Not to me, not if it’s you,” but there’s a beauty in Pylades’ first statement that is very hard to translate and thus doesn’t get enough appreciation (and I’m really grateful that OP included it!)
Euripides’ choice of verb here is interesting. κηδεύω has a few different meanings, all of which are kind of pertinent here. The first, and most basic one, is just “to take charge of,” or “to tend,” and it derives from the noun κῆδος, which means “care” in both an emotional and physical sense. Orestes is currently suffering from a plague brought on by the gods – both a mental and physical one. Pylades is volunteering to tend his disease, and stating that Orestes is an object of his care.
But the second meaning of this verb is to give proper burial rites. Pylades says this as he is helping Orestes plan to flee a mob that wants him dead. This is not only a promise to care for Orestes in life, but one that, if anything goes wrong, Pylades will care for him in death.
(The third meaning is less poignant, but it’s a bit of foreshadowing. κηδεύω also means “to ally with by marriage,” and at the end of the play, Apollo does command Pylades to marry Orestes’ sister, cementing a marriage-alliance between the two. So that’s kind of amusing.)
There’s also a bit here that’s dependent on the previous line – Orestes says “I’m afraid the Goddesses would stop me with this madness.” It’s a type of clause that is necessarily not super concrete (this is an oversimplification, I’m not a specialist in the precise conditional weight of a fear clause, and I don’t want to go get my copy of Smyth’s Greek Grammar to check). But Pylades’ response is concrete. It’s the statement “I will take care of you,” not “if that were to happen, I would take care of you.” There’s a world in which Euripides could have easily made that statement an implied conditional and made it less concrete, but this is a promise.
Anyway, the next part develops the bond between the two – but it requires a bit of Ancient Greek grammar explanation. So, in Ancient Greek, like in some modern languages (Spanish, for example), the pronoun of the subject of a verb is contained within the verb. κηδεύσω means “I will care for” all on its own. But Pylades has inserted another “I” at the end of the sentence for emphasis. He’s saying that, no matter what, no matter who else might be with or against Orestes, Pylades will be there.
There’s also some stuff that might be sound like a stretch or over-analysis, but bear with me – word order could be used for lots of things in Ancient Greek poetry (and tragedy is, in complicated ways, poetic). Pylades here is literally surrounding Orestes with himself in the sentence. He’s sandwiching Orestes between two first-persons, literarily embracing him. The apostrophe in σ’ up there also indicates that a letter has been elided – originally, the phrase was “σε ἐγώ”, but two short epsilon sounds one after another were avoided in Greek prosody, and so the first drops out. The result is that the two words that stand for Orestes and Pylades in this are spoken as one word. There’s no separation between them. He’s showing, with his wording, that they’re a package deal.
This post is pretty long already. I just wanted to show appreciation for the near-untranslatable parts of the most overlooked of these three lines, and show just how much depth Euripides can pack into a single “But I’ll care for you.”
Oh, and if anyone is worried that it’s out of context to read this as gay, a dialogue by Pseudo-Lucian (usually dated to the 4th or 5th century CE) says this about their relationship (translation my own): “They took Eros as the mediator of their passion toward each other, and sailed together through life as if on one ship…. Nor did they restrain their erotic love to the lands of Greece, but sailed that vessel to the very last edges of Scythia, the one ill, the other his caretaker.”
NEVER in my years on this earth did I think I’d be the one to get happy new yeared. I thought I WAS the toxic one.

Very hard to scroll tumblr on the bus in the current fandom climate (the hockey players are sucking each others dicks every other post)
Nature is healing.
“I have only been in love with one person” “same here. only one” no shit shane lmao nobody at that table was sitting there thinking you were out having a bunch of romantic entanglements. your parents are still visibly reeling from the revelation that you apparently have sexual desires (??). ilya meanwhile has been fucking you for the better part of a decade and still thinks of you as a hot nerdy virgin he’s about to deflower every single time he gets you naked (this gets him hot btw). we know there’s only one, babe
"Hey," Shane said, dumping his bag on the floor before slipping onto Ilya's lap on the couch.
"Hey," Ilya parroted back, eyebrow raised, and Shane grinned at him.
"How, uh, how are you feeling tonight?"
"Well," Ilya said, tapping a finger against his lip mockingly. "I am injured so wasn't allowed to thrash my boyfriend in hockey tonight, but I have pretty boy on my lap right now. So, same same."
"You weren't allowed to thrash him, huh? Sure that he wouldn't have been the one thrashing you?"
"Mmm, no," Ilya replied, leaning in to nip playfully at Shane's ear. "I know he won tonight, but that wouldn't have happened if I was there. I would have beaten him."
Shane snorted, turning his head to catch Ilya's mouth in a brief kiss.
"I'm not sure he'd agree with you on that."
"Good thing he's not here then, da? Instead I have you, pretty boy."
"Is your boyfriend not pretty?" He asked, the laugh evident in his voice even as he worked to keep a straight face, and Ilya laughed with him.
"No, no. He is very ugly and boring. Not like you."
"Well. Lucky I'm here to rescue you from him, then."
Shane grinned again as he spoke, feeling his eyes crinkle with the force of it, and he wasn't surprised when Ilya leaned in again to press a bruising kiss into his mouth.
"Yeah. Lucky," he murmured, before pulling in Shane once more.
the ‘MONTREAL: ONE DAY LATER’ title card is what really sells the fight scene as a comedic moment for the viewer bc it’s SO funny to see shane skate up with a devious little twinkle in his eyes, already looking so proud of himself with his chirp prepared just for scott to choose absolute violence bc this old man does NOT have the energy to keep censoring himself when he has to deal with both of them back-to-back in under 24 hours

Okay, with the finale of heated rivalry having happened and as a longtime hockey fan I want to fucking warn you all:
Do not. Under ANY circumstances attempt to out anyone. If any of you try and pull what yall pulled with Kit Connor it’s so over. If you try and out any of the actors, any current hockey players, any retired hockey players, if you accuse anyone of queerbaiting (actors or professional athletes) it. Is. Over. You ruin the fun of heated rivalry. This is not a “find all the gay hockey players and out them”. That is not what we are doing here. Yes, we don’t have any out queer hockey players and there’s a DAMN REASON. Historically, it has been deadly for nhl players to come out. I repeat. Do. Not. Force real people. To come out.
The face of a man who thinks he's about to hear his boyfriend explain the word fuckbuddy to his mom

Shane and Ilya’s relationship can be summed up with Do I Wanna Know by the Arctic Monkeys and Do I Wanna Know covered by Hozier and you can pry that from my cold dead hands
Just the concept of Shane struggling to learn Russian but Ilya not struggling to learn French
