    Summary

    The bartender is turned around, arm stretched upwards towards a top shelf. He’s wearing low rise pants and a black long-sleeve shirt cut off right above his waistline, revealing a stretch of skin that harbors a recognizable tattoo at his tailbone. The back of his head is familiar too— a bout of curls, flopping just past his nape, the glint of tiny silver hoops poked into his ears.

    Shane blinks as they come up closer. “Holy shit,” he remarks as Ilya says, “Haasy?”

    Luca whips around at the sound of their voices, wide-eyed.

     

    Or: after Luca Haas’ side gig is revealed to them, it must be a mere coincidence that the Rozanov-Hollander pair start frequenting the bar he works at

    Summary

    “Hi,” Luca says, apologetic. “Sorry I’m late.”

    Ilya turns his head, then blinks. Shane follows his line of sight, expression shifting.

    There’s a sharp line of eyeliner across Luca’s waterline, smeared a little on the bottom. Under the lighting, the minuscule amount of white glitter dabbed at the corner and bottom of eyes twinkles. His shirt is tightly fit, a little sheer, cut off just above his black pants. There’s a line of skin between his shirt and pants, the smallest peek of a thin, black tattoo visible on his hip. Silver glints: there’s a bout of jewelry scattered across his body— earrings, a plastic Casio watch, a necklace hanging from his neck.

    “You look like you could ruin someone’s life,” LaPointe blurts out.

     

    or: 5 times Luca Haas surprises Shane and Ilya (& the Centaurs) + 1 time they surprise him back

    Summary

    Shane fucking Hollander. Hockey’s Golden Boy. Long-time crush of Ilya Rozanov. Long, looooong time. A decade of being a fucking simp for this man. God, he was in trouble.

    It should be pretty much illegal to go from their only contact being at face-off across the ice, to suddenly hosting Shane in his exclusive club—during a fucking event, no less. Ilya’s event.

    He would never admit it, but he’s been stealthily trying to get Hollander to show up at his club for years now. Hell, Shane was the whole reason he invested in the club in the first place. Bought a fucking house here. Maybe that was an insane thing to do, but he didn’t care. Ilya was insane. Insane for Shane.

    Summary

    Troy eyed Luca, noting his shaking hands. “You okay Haasy? You’re a little pale, sure you weren’t outside for too long?”
    The kid visibly swallowed, looking like he was going to explode if he didn’t get out of this room. “Fine, something happened, but it’s not a big deal or anything I just need to go get—“ He cut himself off, but Ilya latched onto his words anyways.
    ”Get what, Haas? Someone? Something? Is snowing, yes? What could possibly be worth going out in this weather?” His captain was clearly not going to let this one go, which Troy honestly couldn’t blame him for.
    Harris stepped up on the opposite side of Troy from Ilya, resulting in the kid being sort of boxed in against the door. Troy would put money on that being the thing that finally forced the confession out of Luca’s mouth.
    ”I need to go pick up my boyfriend.”

    (Or: Luca is a simp, Ilya torments, Troy gets tormented, Harris just wants everyone to get home safe, and the Ottawa Centaurs continue to collect queer players like Pokémon)

    Summary

    Selected text messages from the phones of Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, circa 2020-2021.

     
    Troy Barrett: I’m planning to drive up to Toronto to finish packing up my apartment on Saturday, and I was wondering if you’d want to grab dinner after your game while we’re both in town?
    -
    Jane: …did you tell Barrett about us?
    Lily: no i promise
    Lily: he maybe thinks it is possible, but i did not tell
    Jane: I don’t think he has any idea
    Lily: what makes you say this
    Jane: Just a hunch

     
    Or: Troy asks for Shane’s number, and Ilya gives it to him. What could go wrong? Or maybe more importantly, what could go right?
