i thought i knew it all, but you came out of the blue
Summary
Me: my sister keeps asking about my love life
Me: she said "aren't all hockey players supposed to be sluts"Or, the world keeps turning, and Luca Haas goes through the motions. Until he doesn't (it might be Ilyaβs fault).
Notes
okay so i wasn't planning on adding to this originally but then i realized valentine's day was coming up and this idea wouldn't leave my head until i wrote it down so here you go, hope you enjoy <3
also i have not stepped foot in ottawa ever in my life, farm boy came from a quick google search so if it doesn't make sense please ignore π also the valentine's socmed idea in this was inspired by Valentineβs Pucks !!
i thought i knew it all, but you came out of the blue
NOT the babies πͺπ€

mama's been talking a lot about your love life
or more like the lack of one
what why?
she keeps saying you're probably lonely out there
i think she's more worried than usual bc of papa's birthday
i'm fine
i have my team
and?
and what
you haven't met anyone?
anna
what im just asking
i thought hockey players were all supposed to be sluts or something
partying it up every night
the cens aren't really like that
most of them are married or dating someone already
well
maybe you should try and meet people
maybe
so that's a no

Harris
Hey everyone! I wanted to let everyone know that since Valentine's is coming up soon, we're doing something a little different this year for Instagram! Basically everyone's gonna be writing a short, PG-13 valentine for someone else on the team and then we'll have everyone read the one they got and guess who they think wrote it π
Jacob
coming up soon??? we're in december???
Ryan
oh no
Connor
do we have to
Shane
Harris, will we be choosing who we write a Valentine for?
Zane
BOOO you and loverboy can't choose each other that's boringggg
Ilya
fuck you bood
i call shane
Harris
I will be picking your valentine!
Wyatt
oh thank god
Nick
thank god
Evan
it's the small mercies π
Ilya
bag skates next practice
hey i didn't say anything
Cory
hey me too!
Ilya
bag skates for everyone but shane and the babies
Connor
we're not babies π
Ilya
oh so you want to do bag skates?
Connor
πΆπΌ
Harris
OKAY before this chat gets even further off-topic, your valentine's will be emailed to you in the next week so you have enough time to write them! Also, I want to say this so certain people hear it again: these are supposed to be PG-13!! Please don't make me hunt you down and redo it. Because I will.
Troy
"certain people"
Evan
it's okay harris you can say his name
Zane
ππ
Ryan
might as well @ him
Ilya
i think sometimes you forget i am captain
and in charge of practices

Wyatt

yo
who'd you all get
Cory
isn't it supposed to be a secret
yeah we're not supposed to tell each other
Jacob
okay shane juniors
Cory
fuck you
i do not think that is the insult you meant it to be
Jacob
okay fair
i'd prob sell my soul to be called shane junior
Cory
even the devil couldn't make that happen
Jacob
π
Connor
can we all just say if any of us got each other
Jacob
i didn't
Cory
same
no
Connor
wow
harris making us all write valentines for the elderly ig
my community service for the year π€©
Cory

and yet they can all outscore you what does that say about you bergy

whatever you do
do NOT go into the film room
Wyatt
damn they got you too huh
Cory
karma for making me and luca sleep next to them last road trip
yes
Nick
practice is over why tf don't they just go home and fuck
Evan
based on past experiences
and hearing way too much about their sex life than i ever wanted to
i think the danger of being caught is a thing for them
Jacob
π§
Ryan
oh it definitely is
@bood at least you didn't walk in on them while you were WITH COACH
Troy
π
Zane
you know before holzy moved here i thought he was like
a polite canadian guy
the media doesn't know what a fucking menace he is
Nick
if you think about it
the only person who can handle all of roz is someone who is just as bad
Wyatt
re-fucking-tweet
but also
they had to hide every part of their relationship for a decade so every time i think about that, the way they are makes more sense
Jacob
wow that's kinda depressing hazy
Nick
but true
i guess they deserve to be borderline exhibitionists when you put it like that

heLP
why is twitter convinced that shane and ilya are getting divorced
that rumor goes around every month
especially if rose is seen near either of them
i love the one picture where they cropped shane out to pretend it's just ilya and rose out and about by themselves
it wasn't even a good crop
he's literally holding hands with ilya in the picture
me and cory were in the room next to theirs on our last roadie
trust me
they're not getting divorced
