    Summary

    After they came out, Shane was ready for people to be weird.

    It was weird with other guys in the league, weird with reporters, weird with angry fans who thought his relationship had tanked their fantasy teams and their sports betting parlays, weird with sponsors and their very enthusiastic pride campaign pitches, weird on all the social media that he avoided like the plague.

    What he hadn't expected was for things to be so fucking weird with other gay people.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Ilya pressed a kiss to the top of Shane's head. "Sweetheart, I love you very much," he said. "I would not change a single thing about you, and you are my absolute favorite person in the whole world. But you are kind of an asshole, and you do not like most people. I'm sorry that gay people are not the exception, but I am also not surprised."

    "Ugh," Shane said, because being known so well was sort of terrible sometimes.

    "I think part of it is that these gay people are weird to you because you are famous and they are not? You are not very good at making friends with people who are less famous than you. Except for Pike, obviously."

    "Oh my god, stop," Shane said. He kicked one of Ilya's feet and then hooked their ankles together. "That makes me sound like even more of an asshole."

    Ilya wasn't exactly wrong. Shane had friends, but he'd noticed over the years that he didn't have friends the way his teammates did. They stayed in touch with guys from high school, and had golf buddies, and did things with couple friends who their wives had met however wives meet people.

    Caitlin Dykstra @catie_dykstra
    I'm so sorry for my husband's crimes 😔

     

    tgc was robbed @thefourthheather
    @thatsthepointe Pls tell us more about this atrocious wedding I've never been so fascinated

    Theo LaPointe ✅ @thatsthepointe
    Rozanov apparently told Pike's kids they could be 'flower children', but then didn't get any flowers. so they walked down the 'aisle' throwing rolls of stick tape

    Theo LaPointe ✅ @thatsthepointe
    Roz and Hollzy also forgot they were supposed to be exchanging rings, so they quickly took them off when the officiant said it was time and both almost dropped them

    Theo LaPointe ✅ @thatsthepointe
    Rozanov's friend Svetlana was apparently volunteered as bartender because they forgot to get one

    Summary

    There was something wrong with Shane Hollander.

    He had known it since he was young.

    Most people-most kids, in general-had different hobbies and interests. Their attention drifted from one thing to another. They became fascinated with something for a few weeks, only to abandon it for the next shiny obsession that caught their eye.

    Shane had never been like that.

    When it came to him, there was only ever one thing: hockey.

    Obsessive.

    That was the word most people used when referring to his temperament.
