Notes
Hello! If you read any of my previous fics you must've realized how much I like social media fics with misunderstandigs. Im obssessed with this trope. And since I have the power to create as many fics as I want about it, I did another one.
Ever since I wrote Leaked I had this idea to make a version with Ilya and Jane and its finally here! I went all out on formating this one so I hope yall like it!
Now for some important context: In this fic, they get together at the All Stars in Tampa. The fic happens a little bit after it, Scott hasn't come out yet.

So Roz, I hear from Lindya who heard from Asia who heard from Bettany that you're dating a teenager
Care to comment?
Connors
Dude what the fuck?
Marlow

Carmichael
Yeah Roz is not looking good, is this real?
Rozanov
What are y'all talking about
St-Simon
someone saw your texts dude. Jane's not a kid right?
Rozanov

Marlow

Rozanov

Marlow
DUDE
ARE YOU FOR REAL?
Carmichael
Cap what the fuck?
St-Simon
oh my fucking god are you serious?
Marlow
Rozanov you better explain this right now
gigi
@mundane
Okay let's see what we have until now. Jane is not allowed to drink, which if she's American could mean she is under 21 nothing bad yet.
But Rozanov could be arrested in Russia for being with her so she must be under 18 right?

Okay guys after EXTENSIVE research I think I found Jane?? There's this school called St Alberta in Ottawa, is all girls private high school and they have a hockey team. The only thing though is that this girl's name is not Jane, is actually Emma Hardin but I think is totally possible Rozanov put on a fake name right?

But they don't know it's you
Jane
For god's sake Ilya start with that!
I almost had a heart attack!
Ilya
But it's bad moy lyubimyy
They say it seems like I talk to a child
Jane
How could it possibly look like that? We are almost always sexting
Ilya
I don't know! See twitter!
What should I do? Team keeps asking, my manager has called, I don't know what to do
Jane
Fuck Ilya they are trying to find who's Jane, even found the Instagram account of a real teenager
You have to say something
Ilya
I don't know what to say. How can I explain this?
Jane
It's okay. It's fine. We can fix it. Just start saying they should stop trying to identify the girl, let's think about this situation together
Ilya

Rozanov I can't believe you
I trusted you dude
I'm talking to coach I won't ever play with the likes of you
St-Simon
I let my kids around you disgusting piece of shit
Connors
don't ever come near me again or you won't walk away unscarred
Ilya
didn't work Shane everyone is hating me even more!
Team is planning to have my head
Jane
I talked to my mom. I came out to her and explained everything
Ilya
What, why?
Jane
isn't obvious? Ilya I see no other choice than the truth
Ilya
Shane I can't. I could never go back to Russia and if I loose my job I'll go to jail
Jane
baby if get arrested here is no better.
And if you don't tell the truth now you will loose your job AND get arrested.
I have a plan.
If the bears terminate your contract we will get married and you stay here in Canada.
It will be fine
And I mean I could loose my job too, we are in this together
Ilya
are you sure?
Jane
a hundred percent. Let's do it.
Rozanov
Hi everyone
Please just let me explain this.
I'm not dating a teenager.
Jane is an adult.
Connors
Then why the hell did it look like that?
Marlow
Dude you literally said you'd go to jail in Russia for being with her
Rozanov
Because Jane is not a girl.
...
Marlow
Wait
Connors
Hold on
Carmichael
What?
Rozanov
Jane is a man.
St-Simon
Oh.
Connors
OH
Marlow
Holy shit
Dude why didn't you just SAY THAT
Rozanov
Because I was scared, okay?
Connors
So you're gay?
Rozanov
Bisexual actually.
Marlow
Jesus Christ Roz you scared the shit out of us
Connors
I was genuinely preparing to commit assault
Carmichael
Bro Twitter had me thinking you were dating a 15 year old hockey player from Ottawa
Rozanov
I KNOW
Marlow
Okay but dude you have to understand how bad this looked
Rozanov
I do.
You all were right to question it.
Marlow
So none of this was illegal?
Rozanov
Not here.
Connors
...not HERE?
Rozanov
It's complicated.
Marlow
Is this about Russia?
Rozanov
Yes.
St-Simon
Wait are you actually in danger?
Rozanov
If this becomes public there is a real chance I won't be able to safely go back home.
And if I lose my contract I could lose my visa too.
Connors
Fuck.
Marlow
Why didn't you tell us?
Rozanov
Because I didn't want anyone else carrying this.
Connors
Dude we've been calling you a predator for like two hours
Rozanov
I noticed yes
Carmichael
Sorry man. Seriously.
Rozanov
It's okay.
Honestly after reading those screenshots I would've thought the same thing.
Marlow
So what's the plan now?
Rozanov
I'm posting everything.
Whole truth.
Connors
Everything everything?
Rozanov
Yes.
Marlow
Dude are you sure?
Rozanov
No :)
But I think it's too late to be coward now.

Marlow
Nah because this whole time I imagined some blonde teenage girl and meanwhile it's literally Shane fucking Hollander
Carmichael
Wait does Hollander's team know??
Marlow
Twitter definitely knows now
Connors
Dude sports media is going to EXPLODE
Marlow
Wait so all that "too dangerous" stuff was because you two are literally hiding a relationship across countries??
Rozanov
yes
Connors
Jesus Christ man
Marlow
That's actually really sad
Carmichael
Also kinda romantic in a horrifying way
Connors
I still can't believe Shane Hollander was JANE
Marlow
Bro named a grown ass man Jane and expected this to go WELL
