Another Season over. Ottawa got knocked out of the playoffs by Carolina and now the team is having their end of season Barbecue at Bood’s place.
Shane and Ilya pull up with the Pike kids. They’re babysitting this week while Hayden and Jackie do a second honeymoon in Belize.
Ruby and Jade hop out on their own while Ilya helps Arthur out and Shane grabs Amber. The six of the make it up the walkway and before Shane can even knock, Cassie Boodram opens the door. “You’re here! And you brought the kiddos!”
“We’re watching them while Hayden and Jackie are in Belize” Shane replied as Cassie hugged the girls.
“Oh lucky I wanna be in Belize” she laughed, stepping to the side letting the group in and starting towards the back patio with them.
“Well it is easy to plan vacation when your team hasn’t been to playoffs iiiin” Ilya looks at Shane. “How long have you been a Centaur?” He laughs as they step outside the sliding door.
Shane shook his head slightly. “They’re not that bad.”
Wyatt, holding a beer in one hand, standing next to Zane and the grill, turned when the group walked out. “Who are we talking about?”
“Montreal being bad” Ilya responded and the whole team booed at the mention of Shane’s former team. Followed by the kids booing as well.
Evan Dykstra laughed. “Damn someone should’ve got that on video and sent it to Pike”
Shane smiled. “You guys are awful” he smiles fondly. Then he resets Amber on his hip before walking over to the fire pit where Troy, Harris, Lisa and Luca are sitting and takes a seat next to Troy.

30 minutes after arriving, Jade and Ruby run up to Shane and Ilya. “Uncle Shane! Uncle Ilya! Cassie gave us popsicles! We grabbed ones for you guys, Arthur and Amber too!”
Shane smiled as Jade handed him and Arthur a blue popsicle and Ruby handed Ilya and Amber a red one. “Thank you girls that was sweet of you” they gave toothy grins before climbing onto the couch between them.
Shane would normally hand the sweet off to one of his teammates to eat in his place, but the girls were right there so it seemed rude to pass it off. Plus it was getting warmer as summer approached. So it wouldn’t hurt to have just the one.
Though he also instantly regretted it. As he started to eat it he caught his husband’s stare out of the corner of his eye and heard a small snicker from Troy. Shane sighed. “I hate both of you. There are children present.”
Troy held his hands up in mock surrender. “I didn’t say a word.” Before Harris elbowed him slightly and Troy laughed again.
Shane turned his head towards Ilya. “Nothing from you either”
Ilya’s mouth curled up into a smirk before taking a long slow suck of his popsicle and as it leaves his lips with a pop he responds. “No promises Мой хорошенький ротик” (my pretty little mouth) earning him a quick spreading blush from his husband and a laughs and groans from his other teammates. They don’t know exactly what Ilya said, thank god, but if Shane is blushing it was clearly dirty.
“I hate you” but there was no venom to his words.
“Mm no you don’t. Not even a little”
Shane shakes his head and looks away.

As soon as popsicles were finished Shane noticed that Amber was drenched in popsicle juice. He lended over to Ilya. “I’m going to go grab Amber’s extra shirt from the car”
Ilya looked at him and nodded. “Should probably grab one for Arthur too” Ilya stood. “Harris will you watch them”
Harris looked up towards Ilya then back at the sticky kids and nodded, “of course. Here me and Troy will help the get washed up while you guys get new clothes”
Shane moved Amber out of his lap and nodded. “Thank you guys” he stood and headed through the house and out to the car with his husband following close behind.
Opening the car door, Shane bent over to grab the bag of extra clothes he brought with him for the kids from the floorboard. That’s when he felt the stinging slap of a palm against his ass and he quickly stood.
“Ilya!” He gasped. Turning around to scold his husband but before he could get a single word out Ilya’s lips crashed into his own. Hands landing in his hips and gripping them tightly as he was yanked forward, hips flushed to Ilya’s.
A moan escaped his lips before he could stop it giving Ilya the opportunity to slip his tongue into Shane’s mouth. They made out like that until they had to pull apart to catch their breath, lips no more than a few centimeters apart, breathing into each other’s mouths.
Shane laughed lightly. “Is this about the popsicle?” And Ilya joined in his laughter.
“Mm maybe a little. You know how much I love your mouth” Ilya purred.
Shane flushed before pushing the clothes against Ilya’s chest and turning away. “Go get Arthur and Amber changed. I need a minute”
He heard Ilya’s low chuckling from behind him, felt a soft kiss on the nape of his neck, then listened to footsteps move back towards the house.
Shane laid his head down on the backseat and gave himself 2 minutes to breathe and compose himself. Once he was sure his pants were looser, he walked back into the house and to the back patio.
Everything was normal until he sat down by the fire pit and the light from the fire illuminated his face. Troy and Harris were back in there seats, presumably after handing the kids off to Ilya. Wyatt was sat with Lisa in his lap. Caitlin was sitting with her legs tucked under her and Evan was standing behind her rubbing her shoulders. Cassie was sitting next to her talking about having lunch with her, Lisa, Selena and Boyle's wife soon. She stopped mid conversation to look at Shane, and slowly all the heads turned to Shane.
It took him a moment to notice they were all staring at him. But when he did he feel all the hair on his neck stand up. “…what?”
Wyatt opened his mouth but before he could say anything Ilya came out with Arthur and Amber, making his way over to Shane and plopping down next to his husband. All eyes moved to Ilya. Then everyone bursted out laughing and Shane was even more confused.
He glanced at his husband to see if he knew what was happening and that’s when he saw it.
Ilya’s lips, which were previously red from the dye in the popsicle, were purple. Shane had the sudden realization at the popsicle he was handed was in fact blue and he felt his entire face flush down to his neck. He groans and leaned his face into his hands. “Oh my god”
Ilya made a confused noise. “What? What is everyone laughing at? I do not get it..Shane what is it?”
Troy snickered before revealing. “Dude..you and Hollzy have purple lips”
Ilya was quiet for a moment..a soft mumbling of “..purple..lips?” More silent and Shane could almost see the smirk on his husband’s face when it clicked. “Oooooooh” he started laughing along with everyone else. “Ah yes you caught us. I kiss my husband. Must be very exciting for you and your boring sex lives” The started to defend themselves but all Ilya did was laugh.
Shane groaned again. “Oh my god Ilya shut up”
“Shaaaaane” Ilya whined. “Let me see your pretty purple lips” Shane shook his head.
“Oh fuck off” there was no heat to his words though. Then there was a hand under his chin as Ilya slowly pulls Shane’s face to his own. The smile he was wearing grew even more once he saw the color staining his lips.
“Mm, now you look as sweet as your taste” and now it was the team's turn to groan but the WAGs all made sweet "aww" noises. Shane laughed at that and leaned into Ilya.
“You’re such an idiot” he shook his head. He turned his head up to look back at his husband and blushed heavier when he noticed Ilya’s tongue was purple too.
His lips were met with another kiss and Ilya whispered into his mouth. “We should see what other colors we can make.”
