Fics like You Don’t Know How Smart I Am in Russian

“Is that how you feel?” Ilya takes a slow breath before answering. “Maybe..sometimes.” When Shane doesn’t respond, clearly expecting more, Ilya clears his throat. “Like sometimes in an interview, I do not know how to say what I want to say. So I make a joke instead. Sometimes I wish I could show them how intelligent I am. I think half of the hockey world thinks I’m an idiot.” OR Ilya opens up to Shane about how it feels to try to express feelings in his second language.
