Shane: Rose!!!!

 

Rose: Hi handsome, what's up?

 

Shane: I'm druuuunk

 

Rose: Oh my god, for real?

Rose: When was the last time you were drunk?

 

Shane: Idk

Shane: Got drunk in Vegas

Shane: When I won the Calder

 

Rose: When you were a ROOKIE?

Rose: Oh babe that was like 10 years ago

 

Shane: 7

Shane: Well 6 I guess

Shane: I was probably drunk since then

Shane: But that one's memorable, I was thinking about it tonight

Shane: That's the last time he saw me drunk

Shane: Didn't go well

 

Rose: He who?

Rose: Can I call you?

 

Shane: No I need to be sneaky

Shane: Yuna would disown me an divorce my dad if she found out we got drunk after she went to bed tonight

Shane: She thinks I'm still on concussion protocol

Shane: But I'm not the doctor said I'm fine

Shane: And it was only like a few beers but dad said I'm a lightweight

Shane: I weigh like 180lbs

 

Rose: I don't think he means literally

Rose: So your dad hasn't seen you drunk since your rookie season?

 

Shane: What

 

Rose: You said he hasn't seen you drunk since then

 

Shane: My dad?

 

Rose: This conversation is infuriating

Rose: I guess this is why you don't drink much

 

Shane: I'm sorry 🥺

Shane: I'm just confused 🥺

 

Rose: Oh god look at your sad little emoji face, it's okay babe

 

Shane: Lol he uses that one all the time and it always works on me

 

Rose: Your dad???

 

Shane: What ew

Shane: No

 

Rose: Shane, my gay bestie, light of my life, drunken disaster, please tell me what the hell we're talking about

Rose: Shane??

 

Shane: Sorry was trying to answer

Shane: But I don't know what to call him

 

Rose: Okay so NOT your dad, then

 

Shane: No

Shane: He's my something

 

Rose: Are you trying to tell me you have a boyfriend?

 

Shane: I don't think I am trying to tell you that

Shane: I don't think he's my boyfriend

Shane: What do you call it when you're having sex with someone for 7 years but you've only eaten one meal together and it gave you a panic attack and and kind of led to you dating Rose Landry?

 

Rose: WHAT

Rose: ……. WHAT

Rose: Okay I need you to focus up because I have several questions and they need ANSWERS

 

Shane: I didn't cheat on you!

 

Rose: Oh my god that is so not one of the questions

Rose: I need you to confirm that you are indeed telling me that you've been fucking the same guy for the past 7 years

 

Shane: I am indeed

Shane: Confirming

Shane: The timeline part anyway

Shane: Cause technically HE's been fucking ME

 

Rose: Ugh I adore you

Rose: Can you also confirm that you're telling me that a fight with him is what led to you giving me the old college try?

 

Shane: God that's so gross

Shane: But I guess yes, sort of

Shane: It wasn't a fight

Shane: He made me a sandwich and said my name

Shane: And told me he fucks lots of women 

Shane: And I guess I had to leave and see if I was still straight after all that

Shane: Because it made me feel a lot of things

 

Rose: You were never straight, Shane

Rose: Okay this is a lot to unpack

Rose: You were talking about him in the present tense, does that mean you're still together?

 

Shane: We were never together

 

Rose: Sleeping with the same person for 7 years is some kind of together no matter how you slice it, babe

 

Shane: No like really we're not together

Shane: I mean we're as together as we ever were

Shane: Idk maybe a little more now, because we talk more when we're not fucking

Shane: About like real stuff

Shane: He called me when his dad died

 

Rose: Oh, that's sad. But sweet?

 

Shane: Yes it was those things

Shane: Makes my chest feel swirly when I remember how he sounded 

Shane: Is that weird? I don't know what I mean

Shane: He had a weird relationship with his dad so it was a lot of different emotions 

 

Rose: No no I get it, swirly chest makes perfect sense

Rose: So why don't you think you're together?

Rose: This is all sounding pretty boyfriendy to me

 

Shane: Well after I got hurt I asked him if he wanted to spend some time with me this summer at my cottage

Shane: And he said maybe, but I think he just didn't wanna say no because I was high and concussed

 

Rose: Why wouldn't he want to come?

 

Shane: Ugh it's so complicated and stupid

Shane: It's not stupid

Shane: It's really serious

Shane: But he's not from here and it's not safe for him

Shane: To be like

Shane: Out, or whatever 

Shane: Together with me

Shane: So I think he's packing to go home now

Shane: He goes every summer

 

Rose: Where is he from?

 

Shane: Uh

Shane: I don't think I can say

Shane: He has a sexy accent

 

Rose: LOL well you don't have to give me hints, if you can't say then that's fine

 

Shane: No that wasn't a hint I just wanted to say it

Shane: His voice is so sexy

 

Rose: Okay yes, tell me about that

Rose: Tell me about sexy voice and whatever other details you would like to share with me in this moment of lowered inhibitions

Rose: Am I taking advantage of you right now?

 

Shane: I mean probably 

Shane: But I also really wish I could say this stuff when I'm sober so maybe it's good

 

Rose: Okay you poor little drunken repressed puppy, tell me about your sexy-voiced man

 

Shane: He doesn't call me puppy, he calls me kitten

 

Rose: Oh my god

 

Shane: I think he started doing it because he thought it annoyed me

Shane: And he's sort of an asshole in a way that I think I really like, cause I think I'm sort of an asshole too

Shane: But it doesn't annoy me

Shane: The kitten thing

Shane: It's so fucking hot rose

Shane: When he says it right in my ear

Shane: Fuck

 

Rose: This is lowkey the best night of my life

 

Shane: The best night of my life was the first time he fucked me

 

Rose: I mean you've won two Stanley Cups

Rose: But sure, go off you little horndog

 

Shane: Well maybe it's a tie

Shane: But tonight I'd rather have him than another cup

 

Rose: So this guy knows what he's doing, got it

 

Shane: Oh my god rose you have no idea

Shane: I can't even

Shane: Ruined me for everyone else forever

 

Rose: And turned you into the world's biggest bottom

 

Shane: If I was always gay, I was probably always a bottom too

Shane: But he activated me

 

Rose: This is so sweet and so hot and so, so deeply hilarious

Rose: I'm forever grateful that you were terrible at having sex with me

 

Shane: ME TOO cause I got my friend rose out of it 😊 and also like a week later I got pounded through a headboard in Tampa

Shane: It was very life affirming

 

Rose: Wait 

Rose: You mean right after we broke up?

Rose: At the All Star game?!

Rose: Is that why you were so giggly when I called you that weekend???

 

Shane: Fuck fuckjditjk nope

Shane: Not there

Shane: Somewhere else

 

Rose: Shane 

Rose: Is he another player?????

Rose: Sorry, I'm sorry

Rose: I'm not trying to guess who he is, I just… really really want to know who he is 

Rose: Tell me more about the voice or the nicknames or the headboard pounding

 

Shane: God drunk people are so dumb, why does everyone want to feel like this all the time

Shane: Mmmmmm rose his voice though

Shane: I wish I could tell you what accent

Shane: Some people don't think it's a sexy accent 

Shane: Until they hear his

Shane: He makes it sexy

Shane: I have links to interview clips saved in a word document on my laptop and sometimes I just go watch them to hear him talk

 

Rose: I am definitely not reacting to the information that he is apparently famous enough to have multiple interviews available to watch online

 

Shane: But omg when he's actually here

Shane: And he leans in all close and he talks right in my ear

Shane: Feels like I'm going crazy just thinking about it

Shane: And he's so good at saying dirty stuff, I'd be so bad at it

Shane: And half of it is in Russian but it doesn't matter because I can TELL it's dirty because it's how he says it

Shane: With this like smirk

Shane: He's so fucking hot when he looks at me

Shane: And his voice gets all low and he tells me what to do, like he says get on your knees 

Shane: And then I do it, and he tells me I'm a good boy

Shane: Or a good little kitten

Shane: Or a greedy slut

 

Rose: SHANE

Rose: I'm not even going to comment on what you just revealed to me about him

Rose: But I have to check in

Rose: Are you going to wake up tomorrow in a shame spiral over the things you're telling me right now?

Rose: Because the Shane Hollander I know would rather die than say any of this out loud

 

Shane: I'm not saying it out loud, this is better

 

Rose: You know what I mean

Rose: I don't want to encourage you if you're going to regret this

 

Shane: No I wanna say it, I never get to say this stuff

Shane: 7 years and I've never been able to tell anyone how big and good his dick is 

 

Rose: God, Shane Hollander, you contain multitudes

Rose: If your adoring public only knew

Rose: You're secretly a complete freak, aren't you?

 

Shane: I think so

Shane: Just really really bad at fucking women

Shane: Or being in charge

 

Rose: Yeah those were definitely two of the major sticking points for us, weren't they?

 

Shane: I never even had to tell him any of that

Shane: He just always knew what I needed, right from the very start

Shane: I might as well have been wearing a t-shirt that said submissive and breedable

 

Rose: Well that's your next birthday present sorted

 

Shane: Or maybe it's just that what I need fits with what he needs, so it happened naturally and we were just really lucky to cross paths

Shane: Because he is very good at fucking me and at being in charge

Shane: And he looked at me when I didn't even know I liked guys yet and went like, yes that one wants my dick and he wants me to make him beg for it

 

Rose: He had you pegged right off the bat, huh?

Rose: Um, pun not intended

 

Shane: He's really good at pegging me

Shane: Wait no that's a different thing isn't it 

 

Rose: If I had been good at pegging you, it might have taken you a lot longer to figure your shit out

 

Shane: Oh no

Shane: I don't want to think about that

 

Rose: Of course not, that would be inappropriate

Rose: Let's talk about your not-boyfriend's dick instead

Rose: Big and good, was it?

 

Shane: So big and so good, rose

Shane: Mmmmm I miss it

Shane: Omg did I ever tell you that I have almost no gag reflex

 

Rose: Nope, I don't think it ever came up

 

Shane: I'm a natural talent 😊

Shane: That's what he says anyway 

Shane: Born for it

 

Rose: Hockey and deepthroating, now that's a well-rounded resume

 

Shane: He makes me better at both

Shane: My whole life he's been there making me better

 

Rose: You were what, 18 when it all started?

 

Shane: Well we were still in juniors when we first met so 17

Shane: But we didn't hook up until the year after we got drafted, so 19

 

Rose: Shane I want you to know from the bottom of my heart

Rose: That if I end up figuring out who this guy is, it's not because I was trying to snoop

Rose: It's because you KEEP GIVING ME HINTS

Rose: You're basically telling me everything but his name

Rose: And unlike you, I am sober enough to make logical connections

 

Shane: Oh fuck 

Shane: I told you he was Russian didn't I 

 

Rose: I mean you told me he SPOKE Russian, but I could make the inference 

Rose: And also that you were drafted together

Rose: And at juniors together

Rose: So you see how it's going to get difficult for me to NOT figure out who you're talking about?

Rose: I mean I'm still trying not to think too hard about it

Rose: But it's taking some real effort at this point

 

Shane: Fuck

Shane: Rose, you can't tell anyone

 

Rose: Come on, who are you talking to?

Rose: ALL your secrets are safe here, you know that

Rose: And that extends to his secrets now too, whoever he is

Rose: God so he's going back to stupid homophobic Russia instead of joining you at your cottage to nail you on the shores of a private lake? That's so lame

 

Shane: He's not lame, it's complicated

Shane: His family sucks so much

Shane: And they put all this pressure on him and I think he just thinks that he always has to go back

Shane: He's such a good person and they take advantage

Shane: Everyone thinks he's this huge asshole but he's not

Shane: He's so good

Shane: I wish he would let me treat him the way he deserves

 

Rose: Oh babe, you're breaking my heart

Rose: Maybe say some of this stuff to him? Maybe he just needs a little convincing

Rose: And I mostly mean the stuff about him being a good person and wanting to treat him nice, but the other stuff too

Rose: Never hurts to tell a guy your feelings about his big and good dick

 

Shane: Maybe

Shane: I don't know 

Shane: The talking part of our thing is really new, I don't think either of us know how to do it yet

Shane: It's just hard to get anything figured out when we can't even go on a real date

Shane: And we barely even get to even be in the same city most of the year

Shane: So when we do see each other it's like, how are we gonna waste our few hours together trying to work on a problem that neither of us can solve

Shane: Even if he wasn't Russian we'd never be able to go public

Shane: So we just don't talk about it ever

 

Rose: God, Shane

Rose: I'm so sorry

Rose: I can't believe you've been living with this for this long, I wish I could have met you sooner. Maybe it would have helped a bit to have a friend you could talk to

 

Shane: It's okay, you would have really hated him if you knew the details a few years ago

Shane: It took us a really long time to even get to this point

Shane: Where we don't talk about the things we need to talk about, but at least we've stopped pretending the things don't exist, so it's sort of progress

Shane: Shit I'm so tired

 

Rose: You must be wiped

Rose: Bedtime?

 

Shane: Yeah I think so

Shane: Do you have plans for watching the cup tomorrow night? 

Shane: I could probably call while it's on if you wanna watch together 

 

Rose: Ugh I have a night shoot, I was so mad when I got the schedule 

Rose: I'll be following along when I can though, so text me updates 

Rose: We're rooting for NY, right?

 

Shane: Yes we are

Shane: Scott hunter earned it, I think the admirals have got this

Shane: And my mom thinks it's his year and she's never wrong

 

Rose: Fingers crossed for Scott Hunter then 🤞

Rose: Thanks for texting tonight, Shane

Rose: I'm glad I'm the person you think of when you're drunk and you want to talk about your boyfriend

Rose: Not boyfriend, sorry 

Rose: And thank you for trusting me with all of this. I hope it feels a little better to have said all of it, at least

Rose: Goodnight darling 😘

 

Shane: It does

Shane: Feel better, I mean

Shane: Night rose ❤️
