    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    +++

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Summary

    Shane turned to face Hayden and J.J., who were both looking at him with equally unimpressed expressions.

    “Would you go if we didn’t bother you about it?” Hayden asked, raising an eyebrow. Shane flushed a little in embarrassment, choosing not to respond. Instead, he shoved past the both of them, leaving the locker room. 

    They both silently followed behind him as he (mortifyingly) started walking over to the office where the team doctor was set up. He came to a stop in front of the office. Stared at the door. His throat felt dry.

    “It’s probably nothing.” Shane said weakly. 

    It was not nothing.

    Summary

    '“It’s that bad, huh?” Joel said gruffly, self-consciously running his hand through his hair, his eyes fixed on the curls on Benji’s head. “I…” he cleared his throat and looked at Tommy for help. 

    “Tess cuts our hair,” Tommy blurted out, pushing a glass of whiskey into Joel’s hand as he came around the couch. 

    Maria blinked at them for a moment, thinking back to literally three days prior when she’d given Tommy a trim. And the dozen or so times before that. 

    “Used to,” Tommy clarified, sitting down. “She always cut our hair. It’s… her job.”

    Joel took a swig of his drink and sighed, not quite able to look at Maria or Ellie yet. 

    “I’m so sorry, Joel,” Maria said quietly.'

    Summary

    “You’re the farthest thing from a nobody that there is, to— to me,” Eddie says, and it sounds an awful lot like I love you. “Which, maybe, isn’t really worth much, but—“

    ”It’s worth everything,” Steve interrupts, and it sounds an awful lot like I love you too. “To me.”
