"Ha, look." Stella nudged him, pointing to the jumbotron.

Yannick was on screen, and saw himself look up at it in this very moment. Next to the video, there was a photo of him from a recent movie he had been in, followed by a photo of Luca and him which Luca had recently posted on his instagram. In it, Yannick was sitting in Luca's lap, arms slung around his neck.

Yannick waved at the camera, then blew it a kiss before pointing to his Haas jersey. The crowd went nuts; like during every Cens game, there were tons of rainbow flags waving in the crowd, which was sweet.

The camera cut away, and cut to Luca instead, who was warming up on the ice, smiling up at the jumbotron. When it caught him staring, he blushed and laughed, prompting a collective "Aww" from the audience.

A replay of Luca's goal played on the jumbotron, slow-motion enhancing the view of his perfect shot on the goal, followed by the celebration with his linemates.

Luca briefly glanced up, grinning to himself, feeling proud. He was feeling good. Great, even. Tonight's game was going well, and it made him twice as happy as it usually would, because Yannick was watching.

The video cut, and then focused on the crowd's reaction to Luca's shot. One audience member in particular: Yannick, sitting in the WAGs box between Holmberg's girlfriend Stella and Lisa Hayes. Like the goal, his reaction was played out in slow-motion: hands over his mouth, eyes wide, then a big smile and cheer for the goal. Luca could see his lips move, forming a very obvious "Yes, baby!" which made him smile even harder.

He tried to focus, and found him, waving up at him. Yannick waved back, then held up both hands, forming finger-hearts. Luca returned the gesture, holding his hand over his heart. The next one is for you, he mouthed, even though he was sure Yannick couldn't see it.

"Exceptions from what?" Shane asks, confused, only just now tuning into the conversation after spending the past ten minutes finishing up his routine (tm).

Dykstra shrugs. "Like you know how everyone has one person they'd theoretically go gay for?" Then, realizing who he's talking to, "Or straight for, I guess."

"I don't know," Shane says. This team really is different from the Metros. "Is this common knowledge?"

"Kind of," Holmberg chimes in. "Like for me, it would be Jason Momoa. I mean, have you seen those arms?"

Shane doesn't know who Jason Momoa is, so he just politely nods.

"I'd go for any of the Chrises, really," Hayes says. "Hemsworth, Pine, Evans..."

Ilya blows a raspberry. "Such basic answers. And this is blatant discrimination, how am I meant to play?"

"I'm picking that bartender at Monks with the snake tattoo," Young says, blatantly ignoring his Captain. "He seems like the sweet but dangerous type, you know?"

"It's not just celebrities?" Shane asks. "Are you actually gonna ask him out, then?"

Young shakes his head. "It's still just theoretical. I've never met a guy I'd actually go gay for but this is like... if I had to pick a guy."

"What about you, Hollander?" Dykstra asks, elbowing Shane. "Who's your exception? Theoretical, obviously, we know you're super gay."

"I'm regular-" Shane presses his lips together, annoyed. "Whatever."

"Don't be boring and say Rose Landry," Ilya warns.

Shane was gonna say Rose but as he pauses to think, he realizes he's got a better answer. "Actually, it would probably be Sveta."

Ilya blinks. "What?"

"Svetlana Vetrova," Shane says, like Ilya's issue is not knowing which Sveta he's talking about. "She's pretty, we get along great. And she knows everything about hockey, so we'd never run out of stuff to talk about."

Here is where Ilya should make fun of Shane for picking a beautiful woman he'd theoretically sleep with and only wanting to talk to her. About hockey.

That is what he would do, if his brain wasn't still lagging three paces behind. What the hell does Shane mean he'd go straight for Sveta?

"Nice pick," Dykstra congratulates him on. "She'd go for it, I think."

She would. This is terrible.

"Does that matter?" Shane asks, wanting to know the exact perimeters of this game. "Does that get you extra points?"

Dykstra laughs. "There are no points, it's not that kind of game."

Shane hums and promptly loses interest, realizing this is not something he can win at.

Meanwhile, Ilya is still quietly stewing over it would probably be Sveta. It's stupid and on some level, he knows that. Shane is super gay, no matter how he protests that moniker. Even if he wasn't, Ilya is it for him. There is nothing for Ilya to get jealous over.

Still, he should probably remind Shane who he belongs to. Thoroughly, over the course of a few hours.

Sie sparen Kosten, indem sie weniger Behandlung/Zeitintervall bezahlen, also darf man als gesetzlich Versicherter noch länger auf Termine warten. Dabei ist es jetzt schon beschissen. Also ja bei der Psychotherapie auch, aber auch überall sonst.

In Großbritannien wird seit Jahren darüber gesprochen, dass die Tories den NHS kaputt machen wollen. Was ist das hier bei uns?! Es werden massive zusätzliche Kosten durch den AU-Blödsinn produziert. Alle warten ewig auf Termine. Dadurch werden Folgekosten produziert, wenn Sachen chronifizieren, die Krebsbehandlung später beginnt, oder jemand zwischenzeitlich als Notfall stationär aufgenommen werden muss.

Okay, but we don’t talk enough about how exactly this transpired. Feel like there are three most likely scenarios for why Shane asked Scott for gay vacation recommendations and they are all pretty funny:

(1) At some point in the four years prior, Scott's gay vacation sexcapades became public knowledge because his hookups talked, basically @gurlsrool's ten out of ten on a sped-up timeline.

(2) At some point in the four years prior, Scott dropped the dime on HIMSELF talking about his tortured closeted life in a sad wet dog interview that Shane read with a mixture of revulsion for Scott's weak ass and a longing that he did not care to investigate further.

As for why Shane asked I think its gotta be #3. I think Shane was just like. This is the only out gay man I know with money. Because I think Shane "forgot Troy Barrett is gay" Hollander wouldn't remember Scott Hunter's gaycation past even if he did hear about it somehow, nor connect it to his own honeymoon. Shane just doesn't care about other people's experiences that way.
