For the rest of their marriage, "Do you think we need to talk" is Shane and Ilya's secret code for sex. It takes different forms ("Hey, should we talk"/ "Do you want to sit down") to honor all the times Shane pretended like they weren't going to immediately hook up. At first it's just while they're doing domestic things. "Do you think we need to talk?" Shane asks quietly as he strokes a hand up Ilya's thigh. They're snuggled on the couch watching TV, Shane's head resting on his husband's shoulder. Needless to say, Ilya clicks the TV off immediately.
Ilya, of course, ups the game. "Should we talk?" he yells in Shane's ear when they go clubbing. Shane grins and nods, and the two make their way to the back...
But Shane is not to be outdone. The next time the Centaurs win a game (which they do often) all the players are cheering and slapping each other on the back and butt in the locker room. Ilya gives a great, short speech as he gets undressed, a post-game sweaty mess that turns Shane all the way on. "Hey Cap!" Shane yells as his teammates clap up Ilya's rousing comments. "You wanna talk?" he asks in front of the whole locker room, and sees his words hit Ilya like a drug, his color rising, his eyes darkening.
Bood smirks as the two superstars scurry out, and Luca Haas shakes his head and closes his locker, wondering what is so urgent that the two have to conference right now.
