Fics like Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander Read Fan Tweets

“Why did we let Harris rope us into this?” Shane mutters as he fidgets with the unbuttoned collar of the shirt underneath his half zipped jacket, and then fiddles with the first button for a bit. “Should I button it up?” “If you want to look like a boring accountant, sure,” Ilya replies, taking Shanes’s hands into his own and kissing his knuckles. He looks up at his husband through his lashes, playing coy, and is satisfied to see a dusting of pink on his cheeks as he looks down at their hands. Ilya keeps his lips pressed to Shane’s hand as he says, “We let Harris do this because he is smart and amazing at his job, and because Yuna says it is ‘good for our public image’, makes us seem ‘approachable’.” There’d been more than ‘seeming approachable’, of course: with the specialized media in a frenzy over Shane leaving the team that drafted him and that he’d captained to not only back-to-back Stanley Cup wins but to a third one just the season prior following his being outed as both gay and being involved in a long-term relationship with Montreal’s public enemy n°1 on top of that, they had needed to do something to control the narrative, to sway the public in their favor.
