Chapter 4

Chapter Notes

I have no excuse other than I've gained a head full of gray hairs this semester. The kids really wanna fuck the robots, guys. And they really wanna talk about it in my family/couples counseling class. Someone also couldn't spell "heroic," and I had to lie down in a bog for the last 30 days.

Anyway...enjoy. I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette.

See the end of the chapter for more notes

Montreal Metros @MontrealMetros

We here at the Montreal Metros are aware of recent statements made by members of our organization in a private group chat, not associated with, and unknown to, our infrastructure. The opinions and views expressed in these conversations do not reflect those of the Metros Organization, and we strongly condemn the language used. We proudly reaffirm our commitment to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. 1/2

Montreal Metros @MontrealMetros

Along with this, we also must condemn the choice of certain detractors to involve family members of Metros’ players and staff who have never asked to be involved. We again extend our heartfelt thanks to our former Captain, Shane Hollander, for his many years of service, steadfast leadership, and the integrity he brought to the role and continues to bring to the sport as a whole. 2/2

It’s a quiet night in their Ottawa home. The lights are warm and dim, the soft sounds of a nature documentary drifting through the air. They’re sitting on the couch in their living room, Shane’s back against the arm with Ilya’s head in his lap. Ilya’s scrolling on his phone, chewing on the strings of his hoodie while Shane runs his fingers through his curls. 

 “Mom’s gonna kill you,” Shane tells him quietly.  He can’t keep the mirth out of his voice despite the warning. He’s already muted his twitter notifications.

“No she won’t,” Ilya says. It comes out muffled around the hoodie string he’s chewing on. His thumbs are tapping purposefully against his phone screen. Typing. Well, Shane tried. “She’s afraid her favorite son will block her again.”

“You’d never block my mom.”

Ilya snorts a laugh and goes back to typing. After a moment, he angles the phone screen for Shane to read.

“Stedlund said something?” He says incredulously. “He’s got a lot of fucking nerve talking about ‘hitting below the belt,” Shane scoffs.

“He doesn’t look familiar. Don’t think I’ve ever been on the ice with him.”

“You wouldn’t remember if you had. You could replace him with a lamp on the ice, and nothing would change. God, he was always so jealous of you. If I didn’t know better, I would’ve thought he had a crush.”

 Ilya laughs so hard, the hoodie string falls out of his mouth.

“Oh?” He asks between snorts of laughter. He’s smiling. 

“Yeah,” Shane continues, “he had a lot of opinions about your hair. Probably because he’s fucking bald.”

Ilya’s smile broadens like he’s been given a gift.

“Is he?”

It’s like handing a baby a grenade. 

“That’s why he wears that beanie all the time,” Shane says. “He’s been balding since he was a rookie.”

“Poor baby,” Ilya says with an exaggerated pout. He's already typing. Maybe Harris really will come over.

“You’re gonna make him cry,” Shane warns, twirling his fingers through Ilya’s curls again.

“Good. He should cry.”

Shane can’t fight the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. 

Yeah. He should.
