    Summary

    “Just one more question, Mr. Rozanov.”

    “How were you able to stay focused tonight after learning of your father's passing?”

    Ilya stood frozen, eyes glued to the camera. Jaw locked. On the screen, his chest barely moved, each breath turning dangerously shallow.

    Shane didn't realize what he was doing until he was already shoving the heavy conference room doors open.

    Or: Ilya Rozanov learns of his father's death during a live press conference and has a panic attack. Shane goes to him. In front of everyone.

    Summary

    “—Okay, that’s unusual,” the first commentator’s voice is saying over the footage. “Hm. Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that, thanks to some last-minute additions to the broadcast, we’ll be able to get an audio feed straight from the arena today!” 

    Ilya frowns. Who the fuck was stupid enough to get mic’d for this fucking game? Some idiot rookie from Toronto, probably. They really don’t teach kids how to handle anything these days. 

    “That’s right!” The second announcer pipes up with an annoyingly fake cheery voice. Ilya immediately wants to send a puck straight into his windpipe. “We just got confirmation that Captain Shane Hollander himself will be wearing a microphone during tonight’s game.” 

    Ilya sits up and spins to face the TV screen fast enough to give a lesser man whiplash.

    Shane doesn’t get injured when Ilya comes back from Russia in 2017, so Ilya follows through on his plan to end things between them. A year later, despite being miserable, he still believes he did the right thing for both of them.

    Except the Voyageurs have been acting weird around Hollander lately. And wait, what do you mean he’s mic’d for this game?

    Sick of hiding, they make a plan to soft launch their relationship for the world to lose its mind about it.

    If that goes as smoothly as they plan it, is for their future selves to find out.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, Mom,” managed Shane, sobs returning. He was getting really sick of crying but it was the main reaction his body was supplying. “I really messed everything up.”

    Yuna pulled back from the hug, tugging his hands into hers. “Shane, you did nothing wrong here. We love you so much. None of this is your fault”.

    “I really tried,” he continued, stomach twisting in fear that they would be disappointed. “I swear. I didn’t mean to keep this from you. I didn’t mean for this to happen”

    “Son, you don’t need to explain anything to us.” David was trying to cut through his returned panic, keeping his hand on Shane’s shoulder. “And no apologies. We are just so sorry this happened to you.”

    ---

    It's December 2017. Shane is happy. He's figuring out how to navigate long-distance with his boyfriend, enjoying the fact that they're getting the plan together. That's until his conversation with Rose from a year earlier is leaked online. His carefully considered plans to come out to his friends and family before telling the whole world are fucked. He hasn't even started devising the plan to tell them all who he's dating. How on earth is he going to do any of that?

    Summary

    “Okay, so you’ve got the yips.” Shane’s delightfully one-track mind came with the tendency to wear out sports metaphors. “Like… sex yips. Maybe we try another play.”
