who knows what we might have in common?

(they don't realise that this is a middle school annual tournament for kids and not the NHL playoffs)

edit: since you guys liked the tags so much;

POV you’re at the 2017 MLH All-Star game in Tampa and Hollander just scored

only child shane is very important to me…along with being neurodivergent i think his only child tendencies made him seem much older at a young age. i just picture little shane as this baby faced and freckled child but since he has only really been around adults he talks and acts like a little businessman trapped in a 8 year olds body and it’s just like:

little shane hollander who doesn’t quite know how to talk to kids his age cause he’s used to talking to his parents

little shane hollander who sits across from david in the mornings reading the newspaper/new yorker and doing the sudoku and crosswords

little shane hollander who is hyper independent and can put on his hockey gear all by himself by age 5

little shane hollander who instead of going to lunch with the rest of the kids stays in the teachers classroom to talk with them and has surprisingly developed opinions on the current political and economic state of the world (he listens to CBC radio)

little shane hollander who talks to his stuffed animals and has very elaborate rules and scenarios made up for them

little shane hollander who’s parents try VERY hard not to spoil him but he is so well behaved and polite and has the cutest and biggest brown eyes so he basically gets everything he asks for. shane knows that when yuna or david say “ill think about it” to something it’s basically a yes

they're unwinding for the day together just casually playing footsie while doing their own thing on either end of the couch and then ilya just says something in passing without thinking about it, feels shane go very still, and looks up to see shane make eye contact and slooooowly start pulling his feet away
