taking notes from the cuck chair

Yuna and David are doing something (cooking dinner, out to the store, etc.) and Shane is giving Ilya the tour. An actual tour this time because they are at his parent's house.

Once Ilya sees the little practice rink, he lights up. The walls are splashed with Shane's youth trophies - snowplow sam badges in a case, tiny little baby skates, power-skating ribbons, pictures from his first tournaments, team jerseys from U8-16, his first hockey stick hanging on the wall, his first game winning puck on a shelf, his first tiny jersey. Ilya takes his time to comment on everything.

Then Ilya grabs a stick from the wall (one of the practice ones) and a puck from the bucket that hasn't been touched in a decade. Shane, never one to back down from a challenge, especially on home turf, grabs his own practice stick. There are no skates that fit either of them, so they just step on the synthetic ice with socks on.

And that's how Yuna and David find them, checking each other into the flimsy boards that are not meant for fully grown hockey players, firing shots into the little nets with enough force to knock them over, cursing at each other like there's a ref around to do something about it, etc.

shane would come home from practice or a game or a roadie and ilya would be at home waiting for him. ilya would go back to ottawa sometimes for team stuff, obviously, but they would be together all the time. and they’re enjoying waking up together and cooking together and taking care of each other so fucking much and when shane’s accumulating his playoffs injuries ilya would be there to kiss them better. and they get to bitch at other teams and players and games and banter all the time and just chat about absolutely fuck all!!

and ilya fucking loves being around shane all the time. he gets hung up on ottawa’s performance, and make arrangements for the next season while shane’s out at games, but he’s so overwhelmed with happiness when he finally gets to live together with his boyfriend. his boyfriend!!! and they have dinner dates with hayden and jackie and sometimes rose comes over and they get big juicy gossip and oh ilya does get swept up in happiness.

Then landrova are going to visit ilya (and shane)

land leopard in pretty clothes. and shane too>:)

for hollanov, i think it would be funny if sometimes they did some very nonsensical roleplay and just kept adding to the story. then they fuck about it:)

(based ilya's on connor's snl bit! which was based on another bit he did before hehe)

shane: so i'm a leopard based superhero but i lost my superpowers

ilya: okay so i'll be a stripper hired for a bachelorette party but i got hit by a car on my way there

shane: ... okay

ilya: and you have to save me. because you're a superhero

ilya: i'll do my stripper dance on you as thank you for saving me

ilya: wearing a leopard print thong

shane, horny as hell: o.. okay

ilya: i'll whimper and groan in pain the whole time because of the car hit too

shane, hornier: o kay

And I wanna emphasise that Shane is not naive or stupid so when he has money I know he would know how people take advantage of that and pretend to want him for it(the book doesn't explicitly talk about gold diggers or anything but there was the comment of women just like that he's famous so they are less critical of his performance). BUT Ilya is just an automatic exception to so many things with him it just never occurs to him that it would apply because he wants Ilya to have his money whether Ilya wants him or not.(Obviously he also want's Ilya to want him but that's a totally separate thing)
