    All told he got into a couple scraps a year, but nothing to write home about – he didn’t instigate, he didn’t go too far. He kept his head level and focused on what it needed to be focused on: winning the game. Sure, one time he almost punched Scott Hunter’s lights out after a game, but whatever – he was emotionally compromised then, sue him. Mostly everyone assumed that was a weird blip and let it go, and he and Scott maintained enough professional friendliness at league events that everyone figured it wasn’t personal, which it wasn’t.

    All of that to say that the more and more the media went on about Hockey’s Golden Boy, the more people forgot that Shane was, at the end of the day, just like any other professional hockey player. He knew how to throw a fucking punch. He just chose not to, most times, for strategic reasons.

    It became apparent that people had forgotten this very key fact almost immediately after he joined the Centaurs.

    The decision to invite Carter in his hotel room had been made last minute, and Scott wondered if it wasn't too soon. He had never really came out to anyone, really; no one in his circle knew this part of him except for Kip. And wasn't that the exact problem? He buried himself so deep inside the closet, terrified, that he couldn't even dream of getting out of it.

    Or,
    Scott comes out to Carter before the 2017 playoffs' win.

    This morning is not routine. This morning he didn't wake up before Ilya. This morning, Ilya decided his routine for him. Waking him up with a kiss and his breakfast already prepared. It was sweet, really, it was, (except his skin itched and he could feel his bones—) and normally Ilya doing this for him was fine, but normally it isn't his first week on a new team. He was so close to finishing this week, so close to being able to check this off his evergrowing list of things to make it through this monumental season of firsts. or, Shane is having a hard time adjusting to the teasing and familiarity and learns that he is safe here with the help of his new team
