Summary

Emily @emilystwitterstuff21

Shane Hollander being a physically and emotionally abusive boyfriend was not on my bingo card this year. What the fuck is going on??

Clara @hockeyfan101

Of all hockey players it's SHANE HOLLANDER??? The golden boy of the NHL that does no wrong?? Omg. Istg men are trash.

Or: everyone thinks Shane abuses his girlfriend Lily, and Yuna Hollander is not at all amused about, while Shane is just upset that his parents have such an issue with him being gay.

Notes

For anyone that has read my other fic, Kate’s back!! I just know you guys missed her :D (That fic has nothing to do with this one btw, so you definitely don’t need to have read it)

This fic is set during the two weeks at the cottage. Pretty much right after they say “I love you” to each other, but right before David shows up.

Enjoy this rollercoaster through crack and somehow a lot of angst in the middle!

See the end of the work for more notes

#getLilyout

July 2017

Beeping mixed with people talking could be heard all around Shane. He regretted not taking his headphones with him. Usually he would've, but when Ilya told him that he might need to buy some groceries, he wasn't really thinking of anything but getting it over with as soon as possible.

He had stocked up on everything they needed beforehand for a reason. They both knew they couldn't go out to buy things together, so Shane wanted to spend as little time possible outside the cottage. With the way things were going, he only needed to go out this one time for the weeks they were staying together.

Now, waiting at the cash register, he told himself to just sit through these next few minutes. He would be back with Ilya in just a moment. He really was getting greedy. Shane was able to go months without seeing Ilya before, and now he's missing him after such a short amount of time?

He needed to get a grip of himself. As much as the past few days were amazing — spending his whole day with Ilya — the two weeks will be over eventually, and he will have to go back to seeing him just every few months.

Though for now, he won't think about that. There's no reason to ruin the time he has with depressing thoughts. A vibration from Shane's pocket broke him out of his train of thought. Looking at the line of people in front of him, he still had some time to answer whoever it was that may have texted him.

A smile graced Shane's face, despite the utterly ridiculous message he got.

Lily: I'm bored.

Shane: Please, I've been gone for half an hour

Lily: Yes, I know. Is horrible.

Lily: I am housewife waiting for her husband to come back from war.

Shane: ???

Shane: I'm just at the supermarket buying groceries. I'll be back in twenty minutes.

Lily: Twenty minutes you could be sucking my cock.

Lily: Or taking my dick up your ass.

Lily: You decide.

Shane: You are unbelievable.

Shane: I'll stay at war.

Lily: You think you're strong enough for that?

Shane: You know how strong I am.

Lily: You mean from last time in Montreal when you slammed me against the wall?

Lily: Barely hurt.

Lily: Definitely not strong enough.

Shane: I hate you.

Shane: I should've punched you in the face instead.

Lily: Would that turn you on? Punching me in the face?

Lily: Like how it turns you on that I am your little housewife hiding in your cottage?

Shane: Shut up.

Shane: It doesn't turn me on.

Shane: Besides, you're allergic to cleaning up behind yourself. You couldn't be a housewife.

Shane put his phone away after that. He was finally approaching the cashier, and he preferred not to look like some asshole who can't even take his eyes off his screen for two seconds. Once he arrived back at the cottage, he checked his phone again, after ignoring the onslaught of notifications while driving.

Lily: Yes, ok, true

Lily: You should be my housewife

Lily: You can stay in my house while I play hockey

Lily: Then I come home to fuck you

Lily: or you suck my dick

Lily: Good idea, yes?

Lily: Jane?

Lily: Come onnnn

Lily: Stop ignoring me

Lily: Pleaseeee

Lily: You're so mean :(

Shane shook his head while smiling. Ilya should've known that he would have to drive home at some point. He definitely wasn't going to text while driving. Though perhaps Shane would've ignored those messages even if he wasn't driving.

He put his phone away and saw Ilya standing outside the front door with his arms crossed, trying to put on a serious expression. If it wasn't so obviously fake, Shane might have been scared that he actually did something wrong.

"Are you gonna help me with bringing the groceries inside, or are you just going to stand there?" Shane asked.

When Ilya didn't move from his spot, Shane let out a small chuckle. "Fine, ignore me. Were you expecting me to text you back while driving?" He took both grocery bags himself and carried them inside. The click of the door shutting behind him followed by footsteps notified him of Ilya following him.

"I just thought you should get to show off your strength a little bit." Ilya's arms wrapped around him from behind, while his mouth found Shane's neck.

"Ilya, I need to put the things away first," Shane said, but simultaneously bared his neck for Ilya to continue. After a minute, Shane pushed him away. "Okay, okay, stop. Seriously. It'll just take a few minutes."

Ilya sighed. "Fine." He moved to one of the bags. "I will help because I am very nice, but after, I will make you regret ignoring me."

"I can't text while driving!"


Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Guys, I swear I saw Shane Hollander in some random store in Lanaudière, and at first I was like omg this is so cool, like I'm actually seeing an NHL player in real life!! But then it got really dark really quickly… He was waiting at the cash register, so I got in line behind him. And then I saw the text messages he was sending someone (I'm guessing his girlfriend???) and now I'm kinda scared ngl. Like istg I wasn't trying to snoop, but also he was positioning his phone in such a way where it was impossible not to look. Sue me for being intrigued.

I took pics btw. You can't identify Shane from the text picture, but I feel like it should be obvious from the way his clothes are the same as the one where you can clearly tell it's him. He also has like the same build, so I'm just saying if you don't think those are Shane's texts, you're either blind or delusional. Sorry about the pics being kinda blurry, but I was trying to stay kinda subtle. Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks these texts are weird and creepy as fuck??

Two pictures – one picture showing a man who is clearly identifiable as Shane Hollander standing at a cash register texting on his phone; one picture showing a picture taken from the side. The text — while slightly blurry — is legible and shows following conversation:

Lily: You think you're strong enough for that?

Shane: You know how strong I am.

Lily: You mean from last time in Montreal when you slammed me against the wall?

Lily: Barely hurt.

Lily: Definitely not strong enough.

Shane: I hate you.

Shane: I should've punched you in the face instead.

Lily: Would that turn you on? Punching me in the face?

Lily: Like how it turns you on that I am your little housewife hiding in your cottage?

Shane: Shut up.

Shane: It doesn't turn me on.

Shane: Besides, you're allergic to cleaning up behind yourself. You couldn't be a housewife.

Vic @r0zanovspetdog

Oh my god, what the hell??? Firstly, Shane Hollander slammed his girlfriend against a wall???? Secondly, "I should've punched you in the face instead" EWWWWW Thirdly, telling your girlfriend you hate her and to shut up?? 🚩🚩🚩 LILY RUN!!!

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

The way Lily is answering those messages jokingly as if what Shane said is funny at all. This has got to be some coping mechanism right???

Lin @linshockeyobsession

Lily's responses sound like she either genuinely doesn't realize anything is wrong, or she is joking around 'cause she knows it's wrong but loves him too much to care.

Emily @emilystwitterstuff21

Shane Hollander being a physically and emotionally abusive boyfriend was not on my bingo card this year. What the fuck is going on??

Clara @hockeyfan101

Of all hockey players it's SHANE HOLLANDER??? The golden boy of the NHL that does no wrong?? Omg. Istg men are trash.

Alex @gayiconscott21

Oh I know Shane Hollander's PR team is SCRAMBLING right now. Honestly impressive that they managed to keep the good boy persona alive so long when he's THIS bad.

Alice @shaydenstan3524

All men do is disappoint you 'cause what the hell are these messages?? If this is the most peaceful guy ever in the NHL that's had like one fight his entire career then what's with the rest???

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Seriously. But hey, at least I won't ever have to worry about my favorite player abusing his girlfriend. Be careful about Hayden fucking Pike tho…

Alice @shaydenstan3524

Pack it up, your favorite Hockey player could be abusing his boyfriend. I don't genuinely think all hockey players are abusive??? It's just a little worrying that SHANE of all people is.

Jen @shanesbaeeeeeee

Yeah, no, not even I can defend him on this one. This is like beyond fucked up. I'm gonna need new username suggestions cause this aint it.

Brad @bradstwitteraccount12345

These people in the comments are so sensitive. Like chill out, the man is just joking around.

Kelly @kelly1410

I know the main focus is on the DV (which totally makes sense, don't get me wrong that IS horrible), but also even if we ignored that, Hollander's girlfriend is "hiding" in his cottage and he told her she's couldn't be a housewife since she apparently can't clean up after herself??? With the way the other messages sound, I wouldn't be surprised if Lily does basically all of the housework herself, and Hollander is just some asshole complaining about maybe having to clean the table once.

Lin @linshockeyobsession

Yeah no, definitely. Women do absolutely everything around the house and men will still complain about them not doing enough, it's ridiculous.

Emily @emilystwitterstuff21

The hiding in his cottage part gets me 'cause wtf?? What could possibly be the reason that he needs to hide his girlfriend away in his cottage???

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

Maybe he's embarrassed by her or something? Wouldn't be surprised. These kind of men could find issue in like anything their girlfriends do.

Ali @shanehollanderfanpage24

We don't even know the context behind this. Why are we jumping to like the worst possible conclusion? Maybe let the guy explain first before crucifying him?

Vic @r0zanovspetdog

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE AN ACCEPTABLE CONTEXT BEHIND THIS???

Alex @gayiconscott21

There is no context that could save this, I fear.

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

So fun fact: The last time Shane Hollander played against Boston in Montreal, he slammed Ilya Rozanov into the wall…

Kat @justbeingheresometimes381

Jolene, you know I love you, but I don't think this is the time for this.

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

Honestly, you're probably right.

Curtis @user9328351

Good for Hollander. These bitches need to be put in their place. 🙄

Luke @hockeylol3294

Have we considered that maybe Lily really was just joking? She didn't take any of his messages seriously AT ALL. Honestly sounded like foreplay tbh. Maybe it's like a kink thing??

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Uhhh yeah no I'm not convinced. Like he didn't deny her saying he slammed her into the wall. And then he said he should've punched her instead. AND she's HIDING in his house. Ngl it does sound very "jokey" from Lily's side, but Shane is clearly being serious the whole conversation.

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Also he told her "I hate you" and to "Shut up". Doesn't seem like a particularly loving relationship to me…

Lin @linshockeyobsession

Sorry but telling your girlfriend you should've punched her in the face instead of just SLAMMING HER IN THE WALL is actually crazy.

Lisa @roselandryswife

Holy shit, I don't usually see hockey news, but Rose kinda forced me into the Shane Hollander timeline. So glad they weren't together long, she really dodged a bullet with that one.

Katie @landrysrose

Nah, she dodged a nuclear fucking missile omg, I was actually kinda disappointed when they broke up cause he seemed like such a sweet bf, but I sure as hell am not anymore 😀

Lisa @roselandryswife

Wait do you think she might have broken up BECAUSE he was already abusing her???

Katie @landrysrose

Omg no why would you put that idea in my head. Fuck that would make sense, I hate this

Marie @myboringassacount231

Guys do we think Yuna Hollander is a "Boy mom" and will start making excuses for her dumbass son, or do we think she's marching up to that house rn and kicking his ass?

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Idk… all I can say is I hope it's the second.

Emily @emilystwitterstuff21

I always clocked Yuna Hollander as someone who wouldn't let that shit slide, so it surely HAS to be the second??

Lin @linshockeyobsession

Keep in mind tho that Shane must've gotten the behavior from somewhere…

Emily @emilystwitterstuff21

WAIT are you suggesting Shane's dad abuses his mom???

Lin @linshockeyobsession

Not necessarily… but he must've somehow gotten the impressive that that shit is okay.

Meow @catsarecooleranyway

NHL player is an abusive asshole… Fork found in kitchen.

Nicole @grassdotcom

Okay, how are we THIS surprised??? Like idk hockey so maybe I'm the weird one, but a new scandal drops like every week with these guys… The whole sport is about beating people up??? It's not that surprising that the dude beats up people in his free time as well.

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!! Hockey is so much more than that. Also Shane Hollander specifically is peaceful as shit on the ice. Like the guy practically NEVER fights anyone.

Nicole @grassdotcom

Okaaaaay… so have we considered that maybe he doesn't fight anyone ON the ice because he's already letting his anger out OFF the ice?

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Ykw that's actually smart wth

Lily @lilyfanpage123

LILY PLEASE GET OUT OF THERE OMG

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Did you make a fan account for Lily just to post this???

Lily @lilyfanpage123

Yes.

Lin @linshockeyobsession

#getLilyout !!!

Lily @lilyfanpage123

You're so real for that, can we make this like a thing?? #getLilyout


The Guardian ☑️ @guardian

NHL-star Shane Hollander goes viral after controversial messages of him and his alleged girlfriend are leaked.

https://www.theguardian.com/hollander/2017/jul/13/hollander-text-scandal

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Didn't think an actual news outlet would ever be reporting about my posts, but here we are…

Emily @emilystwitterstuff21

Girl Ig you're famous now!!

Ali @shanehollanderfanpage24

I feel like this news is not official or clear enough to be posted here… Like what are we doing??

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

Have you ever considered not sucking that Shane Hollander's cock?

Ali @shanehollanderfanpage24

Have you ever considered getting a real name ilyarozanovssocks?

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

No, cause my name is goated, and no one can tell me otherwise

Ali @shanehollanderfanpage24

Just wait till a scandal drops about him… Only a matter of time with the 5000 women he has fucked

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

Can we stop slut shaming?

Lisa @roselandryswife

Surely an accusation like this can get the guy kicked out of the NHL, right??? Especially since it's now going viral like this?

Meow @catsarecooleranyway

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but these kind of allegations come out all the time about players. Shane Hollander is one of the best if not THE best in the league, absolutely no one is dropping him, I can tell you that. He'll get a little warning AT MOST. If I had to guess, his team is just gonna put up some bs statement saying they've reviewed the matter internally and everything's good, IF they even say anything

Lisa @roselandryswife

Are we saying rn that there's a possibility that everyone will just ignore those messages???

Meow @catsarecooleranyway

Very likely scenario, yes. Perhaps he'll receive some repercussions through the form of some of his sponsors dropping him, since it may be bad for their press. But I'm ngl the dude is rich, he'll survive.

Lisa @roselandryswife

I hate everything about this.

Lin @linshockeyobsession

@montrealvoyageurs can we consider trading him away now??

James @montrealfanfirst

Bro just say you want the team to never win again. Obviously they can't trade away SHANE HOLLANDER

Lin @linshockeyobsession

It'd be for a moral cause!!!

James @montrealfanfirst

They're there to play hockey, not talk about fucking morals. Who gives a shit??

Frankie @imcooleranyway

Guys, just because some random ass news site reports about it, doesn't mean the thing is automatically true? We haven't even heard Shane's side yet, let the man speak omg

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

With all due respect, there is absolutely nothing he could say to make a threat about punching your girlfriend any better


Hayden: Shane

Hayden: Shane.

Hayden: Dude.

Hayden: Please stop ignoring me.

Hayden: I just wanna talk.

Hayden: Maybe you have like a totally reasonable explanation for this?

Hayden: Don't really know what that would be if I'm honest…

Hayden: But I'd be happy to be proven wrong!!!

Hayden: Also I'd prefer if you stayed away from my wife at like all times.


Jackie: So I'm gonna need an explanation for those texts by yesterday actually

Jackie: Don't piss me off.

Jackie: Actually, no, you already failed.

Jackie: Don't piss me off even more.

Jackie: What the fuck is wrong with you?

Jackie: I'm gonna be honest, if you don't answer I might have to come to the cottage with Hayden because I am not leaving Lily there alone with you.


Mom: Shane Hollander.

Mom: Dad and I are driving to your cottage because that "silent retreat" thing was clearly a lie.

Mom: along with other things you have obviously lied to us about.

Mom: Did you ever plan to tell us about your girlfriend?

Mom: You have until we arrive to come up with a reasonable explanation for this

Mom: and I swear to god you better have an excellent explanation.


J.J.: Dude wtf?

J.J.: You always seemed so besotted whenever you texted Lily, I'm genuinely so confused.

J.J.: Were you talking about how you were gonna hit her every time you blushed at you phone??


Rose: Shane, I'm going to have to assume you're talking about slamming someone into the boards during hockey.

Rose: which means I am also going to have to assume "Lily" is another hockey player

Rose: You were my super nice boyfriend long enough for me to give you the benefit of the doubt here.

Rose: I really would appreciate a text back to confirm my theory, but also good luck with the internet.

Rose: Everyone hates you right now, and I honestly can't blame them cause those texts do look super bad


A loud slam broke Shane out of his trance from sucking Ilya's cock. After quickly putting away the groceries earlier, Ilya dragged him toward the bedroom, where he — fully clothed — tortured Shane for an eternity, before finally letting him come.

Now, Shane was going to return the favor, but that slam sounded exactly like a door closing, and it was not nearly quiet enough to have been the wind. Shane knew the doors in his house and the sound they made when closed. That was definitely his front door being slammed shut by a person.

With the only people that have a key being himself and his parents, it was clear that they must have showed up. Shane's heart was already beating out of his chest at the prospect of his parents finding Ilya, but what worried him on top of that was just how loud that slam was.

Neither of his parents are the type to just slam doors, especially not when Shane was supposed to be on a silent retreat, so if they were doing it now, they must be angry. He could only pray that they were angry at something they needed to tell him and not at him. Because if they were angry at him, there was only one explanation Shane could come up with — they must have figured out about Ilya.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." Shane practically jumped off the bed, already putting on his pants while also grabbing his shirt. "I— someone is here. Probably my parents. Hide."

Shane wasn't going to jump to the worst possible conclusion immediately. If there was still a chance that this was not about Ilya, he needed him out of his parents sight.

Ilya just stared at him for a second before quickly moving as well. "Bathroom okay?"

"Hopefully. I think it's your best bet. I'm gonna—" Shane pointed to the door, after having managed to haphazardly get his clothes on. "I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, Shane. Just… hurry up and get out before they come in."

From what Shane could briefly see from his mirror, he at least looked presentable enough; as long as you didn't pay too much attention. He could only hope that his parents wouldn't notice anything off about his appearance.

Shane got out of his bedroom, quickly shutting it behind him even if there was no real point, and briskly walked toward the kitchen, where he could hear his parents. Once there, he was confronted by his mom holding his phone in her hand, while both of them looked with an indescribably calm expression.

If Shane didn't know they were mad, he'd think nothing was wrong. But with the knowledge of their anger, the calmness in their expression only stressed him out more.

"Haven't been checking your phone for a while?" His mom said; her tone icy

"No," Shane croaked. It was becoming increasingly clear to him that his parents were actually mad at him. His father was now looking at him with an expression that Shane could only interpret as disappointment. And also disgust?

"Did you know you've been photographed by someone while you were out?" Mom asked. She was leaning against the kitchen counter, staring at him intensely.

"No?" Shane said. He knew there must have been more to that, but his brain wasn't running fast enough for him to figure out what exactly it was. He was sort of preoccupied with trying to keep his panic at bay.

"Specifically, you were photographed texting. Someone posted a picture of the… charming texts you've sent." Mom continued.

Looking back on his day, Shane knew his mom could only be talking about his texts to Ilya. There wasn't anyone else he had texted that day; much less while he was out. How could he have been so stupid? Openly texting Ilya outside, seriously?

He tried to get his mind to catch up. Okay, so his parents were mad at him. That part was evident. From what he remembered, he hadn't used Ilya's name, so all they should know was that he was gay. Shane was really hoping his parents hadn't seen the vulgar texts, though he didn't quite believe that he would be so lucky.

And it wasn't just his parents who had found out. From what his mom said, the whole internet knew.

Shane knew he needed to stay in the moment. His parents were here, and they were mad at him. Really mad from the looks of it and also disappointed. Hurt spread through him. He had hoped that his parents might be a little more accepting, but he quickly realized that he was obviously wrong.

Was he remembering wrong? Did he accidentally mention Ilya's name in the texts? Was that why his parents were this mad or did they genuinely have such a big issue with their son being gay?

Shane knew that — despite how much he wished his parents would support him being gay — the alternative would be worse. Because if he had mentioned Ilya, then he would've outed not only himself but also Ilya through his stupidity. Shane knew that he wouldn't ever be able to forgive himself for that.

His vision was starting to blur. Shane had to tear his face away from his parents; he didn't think he could bear to see his father's disappointed look any longer than he already had.

"Let me see," Shane said, trying to grab for his phone from his mom's hand.

"At least have the courage to look me in the eyes when speaking to me."

Shane head flinched to meet her gaze. The way she was looking at him — he hadn't ever seen that look on her face before. In his entire life, no matter how much he messed up, she had never looked at him like that.

His tears were dangerously close to falling as he took his phone. Was it really that bad to them that he was gay? He'd always thought his parents would be fine with it. He really thought—

Shane cut off the thought before he got caught up in it. There was no point now. He needed to see what exactly his parents had seen. Maybe he really was just coming to the worst possible conclusion.


Looking at her son now, it was hard to reconcile this version with the one that she read of, in the text exchange. Yuna had been furious on her way here, and she was really trying not to immediately yell at Shane and discuss this in a civil way first. So she had come into the house calmly.

When she saw Shane's phone on the kitchen counter, she realized he must not have even seen her texts. She was tempted to go through his phone, but she didn't think there was a point. If Shane actually had an explanation for his behaviour, then she would know soon. If not, she didn't want to see any more of the texts her son might have sent. She was really questioning just where exactly she went wrong in her parenting.

Of course, Yuna couldn't stop her maternal instincts from kicking in when she saw the way Shane looked at her. He's never been the kid to cry often, so the few times when he did were special. It was obvious to her that he was trying to hold himself together, and he was also so clearly failing.

Shane looking like an absolute wreck while going through his phone was probably the only reason she hasn't completely lost her temper yet.

He must've found the picture, because his eyes were now frantically darting across, probably reading at record speed. He momentarily looked confused, before starting to read again. If Yuna had to guess, Shane was probably reading the messages again and didn't even catch any of what he was reading the first time, considering how fast he was going.

"Oh, thank god," he muttered through his breath, while letting out a sigh.

And now Yuna was definitely losing her temper.

"Thank god?" She repeated. "What the fuck, Shane!"

Shane's head jerked toward her. He evidently hadn't intended to voice that comment out loud.

"I mean—" Shane started, before going quiet again and looking away. Though he looked significantly less upset, which only upset her more.

"Yes? Please enlighten me. What did you mean? Because from where I'm standing, I find out through the internet that my son not only has a girlfriend that I've never heard of, but also abuses said girlfriend!"

"Well…"

"Look at me, Shane! If you can text her like that then you can look at your mother when she is talking to you! You fucking coward!" She yelled.

That certainly got his attention. She never thought she would be in a situation where she wouldn't feel bad for making her son look as scared as he looked right now. Though she also hadn't thought her son would've been capable of sending those texts. At least he was now facing her directly.

"Look, I— I don't really know what to say," Shane trailed off.

"You don't know what to say?" David suddenly interjected. "Can you give us a reasonable explanations for those texts or not?"

Yuna was honestly impressed with how long her husband managed to stay quiet beside her. He has always managed to suppress his temper longer than her, but this was too much, even for him.

Shane slowly shook his head. "I really can't…"

"You can't? You're telling me you slammed your girlfriend against a wall?" David was now also yelling.

"Yes?" Shane said, cringing at himself. "Fuck, mom, I'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" She yelled. "To me?"

"I—"

"Do you realize the kind of language you used? Do you always tell your girlfriend to shut up?"

"Yes, I know. I mean, no, I don't— I—"

When she realized that Shane wasn't going to say more than that, she continued. "Is Lily here?"

Any color that was still left in Shane's face suddenly drained. "What?"

"Is she here?"

"No." Shane immediately answered.

Yuna knew her son, and she also knew that he was a horrible liar. It's truly impressive that he managed to lie about this so long. But it was still clear that she definitely was here.

"Where?"

"Mom. Please." Shane had that pleading look on his face. The one that would've normally made her let go of anything. Just not today.

"Shane Hollander."

"Okay, I think is enough. Let's please calm down. Shane is not abusing anyone," a voice suddenly said.

That must have been Lily, since there was no way Shane had anyone else at his cottage. The only problem with that theory was that the voice was definitely male, with an accent that sounded very Russian and also very familiar.

Yuna whipped around to see none other than Ilya Rozanov coming out of her son's bedroom. She was stunned in place, probably with her mouth open as well; she couldn't really tell at the moment.

"We were just joking over text, yes? About hockey. Because Shane slammed me into wall last time I played against Montreal. During hockey."

"Hockey." Yuna repeated stiffly.

Trying to remember the last game where Boston played against Montreal was futile. She might remember much, but she certainly wouldn't remember every time someone slammed someone against the board.

Maybe she would've remembered Shane punching someone during a game, but he didn't do that, because he wasn't the type to do that often. Though even if he did, it would've been a normal part of hockey.

"Wait, does that mean you're Lily?" David asked. He looked about just as confused as Yuna.

"Okay, can we please— I don't know… sit down? I can actually explain this now." Shane said. Yuna could tell that he was nervous again, much like when she first arrived.

"Uh, yeah sure." Yuna sat down at the kitchen table in a daze and waited for the others to follow her.

"So… this is Ilya… Rozanov." Shane gestured toward Rozanov. "But, uh, you knew that. I'm gay, and we've been… uhm…" Shane looked away. "Hooking up? For a while now… and I saved his contact on my phone as Lily, so that people wouldn't figure out it's him. And he likes to tease me over text sometimes. So he teased me about hockey. I swear it was just hockey. I would never…" Shane's voice cracked.

The story made sense, and it was certainly a much better explanation for the texts than her son being abusive towards a girl. If Shane had somehow come up with this whole story and gotten Ilya Rozanov here just to cover that up, she would seriously be impressed, so she could only believe that Shane really was telling the truth.

Yuna really messed up. Of course her son hadn't abused his girlfriend. She knew him well enough. She should've known that he could never do something like that. Though she was also aware that there was always a chance of being mistaken. Some people were able to hide their real personality even from the people they were closest to.

But Shane wasn't doing that. And now she had been the one to upset him, so she also needed to make it right again.

"Honey," she whispered, reaching a hand out to Shane, who took it while burying his head in his other hand.

"I couldn't really explain without telling you about him, and I wasn't sure whether he was okay with that, and I also wasn't sure whether I was okay with that… so I just couldn't say anything…" Shane was staring at the kitchen table intently.

"I uh, thought you weren't gonna leave without seeing Lily, so I thought I might as well stop hiding," Rozanov said.

"So is this like a hate sex thing?"

"David!" Yuna elbowed her husband. Not only was that inappropriate, but she could also clearly tell from the way the two were acting that they didn't hate each other.

"What? I thought we hated him." David took a look at Rozanov before adding. "Sorry."

Rozanov didn't look particularly bothered by it and just waved him off. "Is okay."

"No, actually…" Shane finally looked up at them and then to Rozanov. "I love him."

"I love you too." Rozanov whispered back, interlocking one of his hands with Shane's.

And yeah, Yuna knew the expression that Rozanov was giving Shane in that moment. It was one that showed pure adoration. He looked the same way David always looked at her. From the corner of her eye, she could tell that David had also noticed.

"Oh," David just said.

"So are you two, like, together? In a relationship?" Yuna asked.

"Yes," Rozanov answered, before looking at Shane and adding, "Right?"

Shane took a moment of just looking at Rozanov before finally saying, "Yeah. We are. He's my boyfriend."

Yuna couldn't help but notice the smile that graced Rozanov's face when he heard that. She never realized the guy was able to smile like that. All she knew was the cocky smile he always showed to the reporters, but she could tell that this was different. This smile was genuine.

"Is that… okay? With you? Me being gay, I mean. And, uh, Ilya." Shane asked.

The fear in his eyes made Yuna's heart break. When had she given him the impression that she wouldn't be okay with it?

"Of course, Shane. We would never have a problem with you being gay, or with whom. If Rozanov makes you happy then that's all that matters."

"Ilya," Rozanov said. "Call me Ilya."

"Okay." Yuna nodded. She reasoned that it probably would be really strange to call her son's boyfriend by his last name.

Shane suddenly had tears in his eyes again. "Thank you. I—"

Why was he thanking her? Yuna really needed to understand just why exactly Shane was acting the way he was. "Hey, you want to come outside for a minute?"

"Yeah okay."

Yuna guided Shane on their way out. She could feel him trembling under her arm.

Shane started speaking again once they were outside. He apologized. He apologized to her for being gay. Her son hat felt the need to apologize to her for loving someone.

She assured him that it was fine and told him that she was the one who was sorry for him not feeling like he could tell her. But something was still gnawing in the back of her head. This feeling that Shane was a little too scared of both her and David's reaction.

"Was there anything we did to make you feel like we wouldn't accept you?" She asked

"No! I was just scared for no real reason most of the time. I thought you'd probably be fine with it. It's just… today when you came in you were so mad… and I had no idea what you were mad about, so when I heard about the texts I just thought you found out I'm gay. I thought—" Shane took a deep breath. "Dad looked so disappointed and I could tell that you were barely holding it together, and I thought it was just about me being gay and…" A sob stopped him from continuing to talk.

But there was nothing more her son had to say because Yuna finally understood. As she took Shane into her arms, rubbing his back while he cried on her shoulder, she finally looked back to their interactions that day.

All the puzzle pieces connected together. The way he looked so miserable when they first arrived. His relief once he actually read the messages and found out his sexuality hadn't been revealed through them. How he was more nervous again once Rozan— Ilya came out and explained.

She apologised for the way both her and David talked to him when they first got here. It was obvious that Shane wanted to say something against it — tell her it was fine, when it clearly wasn't — but Yuna just held him closer and made him listen to his well-deserved apology.

"You think you're ready to go back inside?" Yuna asked, after Shane's crying stopped.

"Yeah."

As soon as they sat back down, Ilya took one of Shane's hands and pulled him close, while whispering something into his ear. Whatever he was whispering must have been comforting because Shane visibly relaxed into his touch. The longer Yuna knew this version of Ilya Rozanov, the more she started to like him. He was clearly good for Shane.

They sat in silence for a while. Yuna wanted Shane to actually relax before she brought her next point up, but she knew she had to. "I hate to say it, but I think we really have to talk about how the hell we handle those pictures from a media perspective. I understand that we can't give the actual explanation, but we really do have to say something, and I really don't know what we could possibly say."

"Can we not just… let it go?" Ilya made some kind of waving motion with his hand. "We don't say anything and just wait for everyone to forget?"

"Usually, I would say that's the best option, but those texts really do sound like domestic violence. Sponsors might very well drop out. Did you read what was in the picture?" She suddenly realized that he was probably staying in Shane's bedroom the entire time they were outside arguing, he might not have even seen the post.

"Yes," Ilya said.

"Could we deny that it was me?" Shane asked.

"We could… but I'd rather not. Even from the picture showing only the text messages, it's very clearly you. I don't think it'd be believable at all," Yuna answered.

"Then I think we have to pretend like it was a joke, no?" Ilya said.

Shane looked at him for a second, seemingly considering the idea. "I agree. I'm honestly not a fan of it, but I think it's the only option."

"I guess you two are right. Those replies you sent," she looked at Ilya, "could help in our case of making it sound like joking around—"

"Which it technically was, by the way." David interjected. He looked around at their stunned faces and continued. "What? You're all treating this as if those texts weren't joking. Those replies clearly sound like joking. We are sort of just telling the truth. We just have to come up with a different explanation."

"Right. Of course." Yuna nodded. "Do we have a different explanation though?"

"I have an idea for what explanation could be…" Ilya said. "Perhaps Lily should also make an account. Might be more believable."

Yuna thought about it. "No matter what, people are going to believe we're just giving random excuses. We definitely need an official statement, but I guess a statement from Lily would help as well. Maybe that one could be less PR-sounding and more… authentic."


Shane: link directing to a short video of Shane Hollander slamming Ilya Rozanov against the board at the last Montreal vs. Boston Game.

Rose: WAIT ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU'RE FUCKING ILYA ROZANOV???

Shane: Yes.

Rose: Oh my god

Rose: Like Lily is Ilya???

Shane: Yes.

Rose: wait those names do kinda match…

Rose: have you tried being subtle?

Shane: you're not gonna believe what name I have on his phone…

Rose: omg what.

Rose: I'm thinking of what it could be rn

Rose: NO WAIT it better not be Jane

Rose: Shane Hollander please do not tell me you used Jane as a nickname for Shane when you did not want to be recognized

Shane: I won't tell you then.

Rose: Omg wtf??

Shane: In my defence, he came up with them.

Rose: Wow.

Rose: Oh, also, I wanted to ask

Rose: Is there any more context to that whole text thread or did you just randomly start talking about how strong you are?

Shane: screenshot of complete text conversation

Rose: Lmao

Rose: Yeah okay no, I get it, I probably also would've threatened to punch him.

Rose: also THAT'S where the housewife thing came from. I was wondering about that. Seemed kinda random to me

Shane: I really don't know how I managed to be so incredibly lucky in how unlucky I was

Shane: whoever took that picture managed to catch the exact time Ilya managed not to talk about his dick

Rose: LMAO Shane, stop

Rose: does this mean I can meet him??

Shane: I guess there isn't really anything that speaks against it

Rose: LETS GO!!! 🎉


Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

The last few hours there have been photos circulating around of me and also of my private text messages. I will confirm that that is indeed me, and that those texts were written by me to my girlfriend Lily. However, I would like to make it clear that I do not abuse my girlfriend, whether that be emotionally or mentally. I understand how both the content and the language could come across that way. My girlfriend I have have known each other for many years and know exactly what kind of language we are both comfortable with. That entire conversation was largely sarcasm and should not be interpreted seriously. I am sincerely sorry for any comments I made that may have come off as misogynistic. I did not mean for them to come across that way. I love my girlfriend dearly and would never intentionally hurt her in any way.

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Holy fucking PR Paragraph, Jesus Christ. Let's please still #getLilyout

Rey @scott&kip4ever

This whole text kinda says a whole bunch of nothing ngl #getLilyout

Clara @hockeyfan101

This text is literally just a very diplomatic way of saying: I was joking, y'all are being dramatic, I love my girlfriend. Maybe #getLilyout ? Kinda unsure

Ali @shanehollanderfanpage24

Shane Hollander has a girlfriend named Lily confirmed tho, kinda dope 🤷

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

So Shane Hollander confirming Ilya Rozanov was just joking about being slammed into the boards last MTL v Boston Game when?

Alice @shaydenstan3524

I fucking hate you delusional people

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

At least I don't ship Shayden…

Alice @shaydenstan3524

That ship is significantly more realistic???

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

Uh huh… and when was the last time Shane pushed Hayden into the boards? Right. Never.

Brad @bradstwitteraccount12345

I've literally been saying that it was just a joke. People need to calm down seriously. That whole sorry for being misogynistic bs was so clearly PR. None of that text came off as even slightly misogynistic y'all are such snowflakes.

Meow @catsarecooleranyway

Let's say I believe this explanation (which I am not sure I do), making jokes about hitting your girlfriend is not funny.

Nicole @grassdotcom

Seriously. Like sure he apologized for any messages coming off as misogynistic I guess, but why didn't he realize they were misogynistic in the first place?? Classic hockey players.

Luke @hockeylol3294

What are you even complaining about? Literally everything is misogyny to you guys nowadays…


Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Hello guys, I am Lily. Yes, I am also Shane Hollander's girlfriend. Anyway, I just want to say that I am very happy in this relationship. I promise Shane does not abuse me. I just like to be shoved around in the bedroom. That is not a crime. Like I said in my texts, Shane is weak, obviously he does not actually hurt me. He would not punch me in the face. That was joke. I know it was joke. He knows it was joke. Stop taking everything this man says so seriously. I literally asked him if it turns him on in the message after. Stop kinkshaming me and my boyfriend with beautiful freckles D: (Also I slam him against walls way more often than slams me, but don't tell Yuna). Yes he also tells me he hates me and to shut up. Stop feeling sorry for me, I tell him the same thing. Being mean to each other is our love language. <3

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

You know my mom will read this, right? What do you mean "don't tell Yuna"?

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Hmmm, yes, I guess I do know. Sorry (to all the random people reading that do not understand the way I talk to my boyfriend, I am not actually sorry. I am fucking with him. I am being annoying on purpose.)

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

Yes, thank you Lily for that detailed explanation.

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

It is clearly necessary

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

Fair enough

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

Wait, also where did you learn the word kinkshaming?

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

I know important words :)

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

Alright so Lily is either like ten years old which would start another scandal or Lily is a non native English speaker

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Let us please not start another scandal. I am not native English speaker if you have not figured out yet.

Vic @r0zanovspetdog

So why the hell have you been "hiding" in his cottage.

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

I am private person yes? Is very difficult to be private when people know you're dating second best hockey player in the league. I can't just go out shopping with him. People see a man and a woman together and instantly think they are fucking. (Which we are so I guess they would not be wrong)

Vic @r0zanovspetdog

SECOND best?? 😭😭😭

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

Wait then who's first??

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Ilya Rozanov, obviously

Vic @r0zanovspetdog

I wasn't aware of your game, Lily

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

THIS. THIS is ball knowledge

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

You are unbelievable.

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

You love me anyway

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

I do.

Anne @mystarrynightsky

melting rn omg. I need a man that will let me call his arch rival better than him and still tell me he loves me on the internet

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

I'm just lucky like that :D

Kelly @kelly1410

Shane Hollander's girlfriend is a fucking Rozanov fan????

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

Oh boys we are so back.

Anne @mystarrynightsky

Lol "people see a man and a woman together and instantly think they're fucking" that's actually so real

Lisa @roselandryswife

Am I seriously the only one who thinks it's weird to joke about punching your girlfriend in the face? #getLilyout

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

I threaten to kill him sometimes. I will survive a few jokes about punching me in the face (also, don't tell him this, but I am bigger and stronger than him anyway, so I would definitely beat him in a fight)

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

I can see your posts you know???

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Are you denying it?

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

I'd argue we're pretty equally strong…

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Whatever makes you feel better Shane <3

Lily @lilyfanpage123

Lily GAG him omg 😭

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

I'm gonna be honest, jokes like that are unfunny as hell. Let's still #getLilyout

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

I have seen this hashtag to much. Can we please not #getLilyout ? I'd rather #getLilyin (side of him)

Lily @lilyfanpage123

??? Did she just confirm Shane Hollander is into pegging???

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Maybe… maybe not...

Lily @lilyfanpage123

Wait, actually, I might still have to be mad at Shane. What's the context behind the whole not cleaning up after yourself line?

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

There is no context. Is just the truth.

Kelly @kelly1410

So who cleans up after you then?

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Shane obviously, cause he loves me and would do anything for me :D

Lily @lilyfanpage123

Okay nvm Ig, Shane is good #getLilyin


Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Oh, also, to Kate or whoever posted those photos. You kind of ruined Shane's "silent retreat" lie that he told his parents. Because yes, Shane Hollander!! LIED!!! to his parents so that he could be with me for his two weeks off. Because he loves me!! :D

Anne @mystarrynightsky

Lmao the emphasis on the lying is killing me

Vic @r0zanovspetdog

Omfg did bro really say "silent retreat"???

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Yes he did. I told him is acceptable lie only because is him. Because he is very boring. Just like silent retreat. Also very boring

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

New love language: tell your parents you're on a silent retreat while instead spending your only two weeks off alone with your partner.

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

OH AND his parents didn't really know me and my freak, so they also believed rumours on the internet at first. Meaning they came to Shane's cottage a little angry while he was giving me head. I am still mourning that orgasm I should've had…

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

Lily, please, MY MOM is on the internet more than me. Stop.

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

No ♥️

Kelly @kelly1410

Damn, Shane gives head??

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Why are you acting like this is not normal?

Kelly @kelly1410

Idk maybe cause it isn't? Like a lot of men don't like doing that so they don't

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Shane is not like a lot of men. He gives head and he's good at it.

Kelly @kelly1410

@shanehollanderhockey make sure she gets that orgasm retroactively

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

Okay.

Kelly @kelly1410

Wait I was joking?? 😭

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

See how quickly people take your jokes seriously? But also thank you 😊

Kelly @kelly1410

I'm starting the freak4freak allegation for those two.

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

No need for allegation. I can confirm is true

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

I'm ngl the more I see Lily post, the more I get what she means with being mean is their love language. I feel like she exists just to ragebait Shane at this point 🫠

Lily @yestherealshanesgflily

Yes, this is correct.


Rose ☑️ @therealroselandry

Shane Hollander was nothing but sweet to me during our relationship. I understand there have been rumours circulating around on the internet over certain text messages. I know both Shane and Lily personally and I can promise you Shane is not abusing her. Those two really just match each other's freaks. #getLilyin

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

Honestly this statement sounds like the PR team wrote the first half, gave up, and Rose just decided fuck it we ball and wrote the rest herself

Lisa @roselandryswife

"Those two really just match each other's freaks." Bro wtf is this timeline man 😭

Lara @imjustheremanleavemealone

I feel like this is kinda problematic? Let's say I believe that Shane Hollander really was a great boyfriend while he and Rose were together. That doesn't confirm that he's also a great boyfriend to Lily. Often those behaviours only show after a while of dating. Rose can say that she knows both of them, but she clearly knows Hollander better and knows Lily only through him. It's just weird behaviour for her to be so sure nothing bad is going on when she can't possibly be certain

Rose ☑️ @therealroselandry

I definitely understand where you're coming from and in any other circumstance I would not be defending him so clearly. But in this situation specifically I am absolutely certain. Lily is a private person and I respect that, so obviously I can't give my full reasoning to why I am so certain. But I promise I am very sure.

Katie @landrysrose

Can't tell whether Rose is being gaslighted by Shane Hollander or whether he's genuinely a good person, but at least she was happy during her relationship?


Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Uhm guys, is it just me who finds it weird how all of a sudden everyone and their mother is coming out to tell us that Shane Hollander is a great perfect boyfriend apparently? Sounds like a massive PR stunt to me. They are so clearly scrambling and just pulling anything out of their ass. I'm gonna be honest, this looks like they threatened both Lily and Rose Landry to post something to clear Hollander's name. Not to mention that we don't even know whether the Lily account is real or not. It's a faceless account, from all we know it could be Hollander himself pretending to be his girlfriend. Also Hollander has NEVER posted this much. Like why has he suddenly become addicted to this app? It's like he's trying so hard to make him look like a good guy.

Kate @nr.1sh21fan

Wait guys walk with me here. Hollander is actually behind the Lily account, just trying to clear his name. Obviously we know the guy can be very abusive and manipulative through his texts so it's very possible he manipulated Rose Landry into making that statement. Literally none of those statements disprove anything. Most logical conclusion is still that Hollander's an abusive asshole.


Hayden: Okay, I admit that last message may have been a little dramatic

Shane: A little, but don't worry about it I understand where you were coming from

Shane: I would've answered, but I wasn't checking my phone and then my parents showed up and it all got a little chaotic and then I didn't really want to explain to everyone separately so I thought you could just all read it through social media.

Hayden: Your parents showed up??

Shane: Yeah, Mom was ready to murder me I think.

Shane: then I explained and she helped me and Lily with media

Hayden: Honestly was a little sceptical about your whole social media story, but Yuna being convinced definitely helps your case

Hayden: can I finally meet Lily now??

Shane: No.


Jackie: Hayden told me that your mom is on your side so I believe your "I was just joking" story for now even though I think it's a weird thing to joke about…

Shane: In all honesty there's more to it, but Lily really is a private person and it would reveal too much

Jackie: Right, I kind of figured

Jackie: I might forgive you if you give me her number. I first want to talk to her myself. Personally.

Shane: Alright.


Jackie: so you're Lily?

Lily: yes

Jackie: and this isn't secretly Shane on your phone?

Lily: No. Though I do not think I can prove this.

Jackie: I'll just have to trust you I guess

Jackie: So you're seriously all good? Shane is being good to you?

Lily: Yes, I am good. Shane is great.

Lily: he would not hurt me on purpose

Jackie: I hope you're not lying to me

Lily: I am not. Tho like I said, I cannot prove. Speak to Yuna in person if you need more confirmation.

Jackie: Yeah, I should


J.J.: What happened to my innocent captain Shane Hollander??

Shane: …

Shane: don't be weird about this

J.J.: Come on, everything about this is weird. I feel like I'm allowed to be weird as well

Shane: Fine. Just this once.

J.J.: So when did Lily turn you into such a freak?

Shane: never

J.J.: ???


November 2018

Jackie: wait a minute, I just realized

Jackie: when those texts with you and Lily blew up

Jackie: were you talking about hockey???

Shane: Yes.

Shane: See how I was kind of in an impossible situation?

Jackie: omg now I feel bad for you a year after it happened

Jackie: sorry lmao, but looking back it's kinda funny


March 2021

Vic @r0zanovspetdog

Uhm guys now that we've confirmed Hollanov is real, do any of y'all think Lily is just a codename for Ilya?

Lily ☑️ @yestherealshanesgflily

It is.

Vic @r0zanovspetdog

What the hell??? She (wait he?) replied??

Lily ☑️ @yestherealshanesgflily

Yes he replied. Might have to change the name at some point. Or not. Lily is good too. My dog's name is Anya btw.


Jolene @hollanovissoreal

So now with the Lily is Ilya confirmation. CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW I WAS RIGHT THE ENTIRE TIME??? I told y'all Shane slammed Ilya against the board in that fucking Montreal v Boston Game

Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

Yes you were always correct and I was very proud of you back then. You deserve a cookie

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

Ilya Rozanov just told me I deserve a cookie. Omg someone pinch me


Alice @shaydenstan3524

So you're telling me we were all feeling bad for some girl named Lily when Shane was threatening to punch ILYA ROZANOV the whole time? Like dude you should've just said so. You could've actually punched him in the face and I wouldn't have been mad about it

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

Well no, I wouldn't do that

Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

Are you saying this because you want my face to stay pretty or because you actually do not want to punch me?

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

…Both

Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

You should change your username.


Cait @hollanovsallstarkiss

Wait guys, the concept of Shane Hollander telling his parents that he's going on a silent retreat just so he can spend two weeks with his arch rival Ilya Rozanov.

Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

Well, yes!

Cait @hollanovsallstarkiss

Omg this guy is chronically online, help

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

Yeah sure but what's crazier is the concept of Yuna Hollander seeing those texts, driving to her son's cottage cause she's mad at him for abusing his girlfriend, just to find out that he was actually talking about doing normal hockey stuff to Ilya Rozanov

Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

This is quite accurate to how it went


Lin @linshockeyobsession

You guys may have forgotten, but I have not. Lets talk about how Shane's parents came to his cottage while he was sucking Ilya Rozanov's dick

Kelly @kelly1410

Lol now I'm wondering whether the parents knew

Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

I don't think they did

Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

Actually no, David just told me Shane looked like he very quickly put clothes on, but David was too busy trying to stay calm to comment on it

Kelly @kelly1410

LMAO


Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

I think it's time to reveal the full text conversation:

Lily: I'm bored.

Shane: Please, I've been gone for half an hour

Lily: Yes, I know. Is horrible.

Lily: I am housewife waiting for her husband to come back from war.

Shane: ???

Shane: I'm just at the supermarket buying groceries. I'll be back in twenty minutes.

Lily: Twenty minutes you could be sucking my cock.

Lily: Or taking my dick up your ass.

Lily: You decide.

Shane: You are unbelievable.

Shane: I'll stay at war.

Lily: You think you're strong enough for that?

Shane: You know how strong I am.

Lily: You mean from last time in Montreal when you slammed me against the wall?

Lily: Barely hurt.

Lily: Definitely not strong enough.

Shane: I hate you.

Shane: I should've punched you in the face instead.

Lily: Would that turn you on? Punching me in the face?

Lily: Like how it turns you on that I am your little housewife hiding in your cottage?

Shane: Shut up.

Shane: It doesn't turn me on.

Shane: Besides, you're allergic to cleaning up behind yourself. You couldn't be a housewife.

Lily: Yes, ok, true

Lily: You should be my housewife

Lily: You can stay in my house while I play hockey

Lily: Then I come home to fuck you

Lily: or you suck my dick

Lily: Good idea, yes?

Lily: Jane?

Lily: Come onnnn

Lily: Stop ignoring me

Lily: Pleaseeee

Lily: You're so mean :(

Ottawa Centaurs ☑️ @censmedia

Ilya, have we considered throwing your phone into a lake?

Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

No. That would be mean.

Ottawa Centaurs ☑️ @censmedia

Then stop posting.

Jolene @hollanovissoreal

"You decide" is crazy talk 😭

Sock @ilyarozanovssocks

Bro I love how whoever posted that pic years ago managed to snag that one frame where Ilya Rozanov was not talking about his dick. Shane could've so easily been outed but instead everyone just thought he was abusing his "girlfriend"

Shane ☑️ @shanehollanderhockey

My thoughts exactly. I was weirdly relieved when I realized people were hating on me for being a shitty boyfriend

Ilya ☑️ @ilyarozanov81

I have to say, is very hard not to talk about my cock. I should get credit for managing to not talk about it for so long

Ottawa Centaurs ☑️ @censmedia

Honestly, Ilya and Shane just both give me your phones at this point


Jolene @hollanovissoreal

Shane Hollander being relieved that instead of being outed as gay, he's "just" seen as an abusive boyfriend. Now I'm sad :(

Vic (Anya) @r0zanovspetdog

Right?? Like imagine you find out the entire internet hates you for being an asshole and the first thought you have is: well, at least they don't know I'm gay


Cait @hollanovsallstarkiss

Omg do y'all remember the #getLilyin (side) tweet??? Shane Hollander bottom confirmed?

Vic (Anya) @r0zanovspetdog

I thought we all knew this already anyway?

Afterword

End Notes

I absolutely did use 2026 internet slang despite that not being the time in canon, since there was no way I would’ve been able to write it time accurately.

I also mourn slightly that I didn’t code this like the last fic of this series, but that was a type of hell I don’t want to put myself through again rn.

Do I think realistically Shane could’ve gotten away with a personal statement at most? Yes. But for the sake of comedy Lily’s account was absolutely necessary.

Hope you enjoyed reading; would love to hear any thoughts in the comments!
