- Scotty
- you must have been added to at least one group chat like this one
- for a witness as they struggle not to strangle rozanov
- Hollander
- sure but they usually call him the asshole
- ilya is the only one who calls me an asshole
- Scotty
- huh

- oh yeah the guy i trained with was on the speed skating team
- i wondered if he was terrified then
- Vaughn
- you're gay too hollander
- Hollander
- right
- i wasn't thinking about that back then
- Vaughn
- you knew you were gay tho, right scotty?
- Scotty
- i guess
- mostly on vacation in spain or someplace no one knew me
- didn't rozanov say you two have been doing it for a decade rook
- Hollander
- not in russia!
- anyway he blew me off when i went to talk to him at the skating event
- and then ghosted me for 6 months
- Vaughn
- wait wait
- 6 months after sochi was the nhl awards
- you let rozanov fuck you after you lost mvp to him???
- Scotty
- where's the self respect rook
- Hollander
- fuck off
- winning the award was the bet
- also i hadn't slept with anyone but him until then
- it didn't end well anyway
- and why would you assume he fucked me
- Vaughn
- so many things to unpack
- 1. are you telling me you would have fucked him if you won?
- the internet agrees you have bottom eyes
- 2. YOU WERE A FUCKING VIRGIN UNTIL FUCKING ROZANOV???
- 3. WHAT THE FUCK

- but good
- Vaughn
- ANSWER MY QUESTIONS @Hollander
- Hollander

- he would end up fucking you either way
- Hollander
- do you really want to know details
- Scotty

- Vaughn
- yes
- Hollander
- the bet was whoever won would choose what we would do
- so really no losers?
- Vaughn

- OMFG I TOLD YOU ROZANOV WAS PROBABLY FUCKING WITH YOU
- Hollander
- it was 2017 and you also told me not to trust him
- you weren't wrong about the flirting tho
- rose had just broken up with me
- and i was trying pretty hard to get ilya to fuck me again
- Scotty

- while sitting next to two super gay dudes

- Hollander
- don't say super gay
- i hear enough of it from ilya
- we're regular gay
- but i mean, it was nice to hear you were supportive back then
- Scotty
- what rookie said
- it helped me be less scared to tell you carter
- you're a good guy and you've held up for me
- Hollander
- yes old man hunter needs holding up to walk
- @Vaughn you are good guy for doing community service

- Scotty
- i need to find myself some bleach

Hollander removed Rozanov from the conversation.
Afterword
End Notes
I first searched for fics with Carter Vaughn remembering what he said to Shane and Scott in Sochi, but couldn't find anything after spending a while scrolling, so naturally, I had to scratch the itch by writing this fic. I know I have WIPs to write, but my brain said it had to do this, and here I am, but I needed context, so maybe I went back and skimmed through the Game Changer and Heated Rivalry books again? Don't ask, idk what I'm even doing anymore. Also, if you know any fics with this premise, pleeeeeeeease link them for me!
Thank you for reading and lmk what you think :)
