I Feel Like A Teen Again

The Troy Barrett James Sunderland vibes

as touching as it is that ilya offered to go with shane to talk to his parents after david walked in on them, a moment that I think is as worthy of notice, if not MORE worthy, is the moment right after david has been caught looking at them and turns tail. shane, in his shock, basically freezes. he does not know what just happened. he does not know what to do. ilya is saying "maybe you should—" go after/talk to him, and shane's brain is logically processing that as correct—he says "yeah, yeah, yeah"—but his feet remain planted. AND ILYA, BRAVE- AND BIG-HEARTED ILYA, SAYS, "do you want me to—?" and points at himself. ilya rozanov has very likely never met david hollander. never exchanged words with him. knows what david's opinion of him likely is, as a player for boston and an infamous asshole and most importantly shane's career-long rival. but in this moment of devastating vulnerability for shane ilya, without hesitation, asks if shane wants him to go after his dad and talk to him about the situation. however he can think to do so on the spot. because he can see shane crumbling and his first instinct is to do whatever shane needs to be okay. well I'M not okay!!!!!!!!
