“is there anything so undoing as a daughter”

But I love the idea that Ilya tells Marly about why he’s leaving. Like he can take the whole city he loves and the team he loves and the sport he loves hating him and not being able to defend himself but Marly is the closest thing he has to an actual brother and god help him he actually trusts the guy. So he tells him and Marly is aghast with the Romeo and Juliet level shit going on in his bros life. He KNEW Roz would never walk away from them for no reason. This is some noble ass shit bro.

So to Ilya’s shock and amusement and slight horror not only does Marly take everything super well and keep going on about how “dope and hardcore romantic and shit” this move is but. After the beginning of his first season where he’s getting scraped over the coals for not being able to turn the team around instantly Marly decides his only option is to fall on the sword alongside his bro and request a mid season transfer to Ottawa. Weibe or management in Ottawa request a meeting with Ilya to be like “why the fuck is this random Boston defenseman fighting tooth and nail to come here? Did you ask him to?”

He refuses to let his captain march alone into hell (a boring suburb of a boring town) for his lover. He will fight at his side until they rise victorious or fall nobly. He says this shit very seriously while drunk to Shane and Ilya is just shrugging behind him.

Obviously the centaurs all adore him. Obviously he refuses to let Ilya sink into too bad of a depression because he’s now deeply invited in all this and takes his role very seriously. He’s like calling Shane when Ilya won’t get out of bed just “Hollzy bro. Roz is suffering. He can’t even play GTA right now. You must come visit as soon as possible or send him hole pics or something.”

Together with the power of their friendship and the assistance of Troy Barrett they open a sick ass club in Ottawa and manage to launch a nightlife scene basically on their own.

Yes they’re athletes, but that’s nothing in face of how hot they find each other. Ilya’s a throat goat because he only has to blow Shane for 1min30. Shane is the rider of all time because Ilya’s busting in 3min45. In the cottage when they’re spoon fucking after Shane’s edged Ilya, it’s presumably for a grand total of 15 minutes.

Ilya:

- shane packs all the sunscreen and towels ilya packs snacks

- shane lathers ilya in sunscreen part 1

- ilya goes in the water immediately after which means he is no longer lathered in sunscreen

- shane lathers ilya in sunscreen part 2

- “let me put sunscreen on you too solnyshko” “i already put sunscreen on” “yes but i want to touch you now turn around”

- they make a big fucking sand castle to one up the kids making a sand castle

- ilya buys a popsicle and not so subtly deepthroats it in front of shane who rolls his eyes

- they both get in the water and compete in who can swim the fastest

- ilya pretends to be a shark and tackles shane

- shane lathers ilya in sunscreen part 3 and ilya may or may not get a boner about it
