hot and trendy

Summary:

Shane and Ilya have announced a charity and a friendship, which leads to their fandom online colliding while also making trouble. If they take it as an opportunity to join the party, well, it’s only fair… Right?

or

They make fan accounts. For each other.

Notes:

book-wise, this story is set between the end of heated rivalry and the beginning of the long game.
i've spent too much of my time on stan twt and it shows. It's not all social media tho, there are a few scenes in between too.
have fun!!!!

Keep in mind that: Jane = Shane / Lily = Ilya

Chapter 1: one

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

you’re welcome, sugar!!! we talk hockey a lot here but lots of times we also are simply discussing pretty men - one (1) pretty man in particular.



Rozanov Updates @rozanovupdates

[OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT] This is way overdue, but there were some things we needed to organize internally first to be able to tell you more. We hope you can stay with us in this new era! <3 

[Image attached with the following text: As you know, Ilya Rozanov has been traded and is now playing for Ottawa Centaurs - which calls for a rebrand for Rozanov Updates. Our internal team had some changes, but our goal with this account stays the same: to keep you updated! You will notice there will be a change of content around here: we will continue to make a play by play coverage of all of Ilya’s games, but now for his new team, along with coverage of all things related to Ilya himself, as interviews, partnerships, and also his new charity project with Shane Hollander. We hope we can still count on you to cheer for Rozanov in his new team and to wish him the best at this new phase of his career. Boston fans are still welcome here - as are Montreal’s. Let’s keep loving hockey (and Ilya Rozanov)! Love, Rozanov Updates]

“I have to tell you something.” Shane says immediately as the door opens and Ilya stops in place, one hand on the knob, the other carrying the groceries he picked up before coming to his boyfriend’s house. 

“Hello, Shane, I have missed you too.” Is what Ilya replies, a smirk on his face as he analyzes the situation and immediately concludes it can’t be a bad thing. Shane is swaying a little on his feet, both of his hands joined in front of him, like a little kid who’s about to confess something mischievous. His ears are a little pink on the edges. “What have you done?” 

“What? Who says I’ve done anything? I haven’t. Here, let me help you.” He rushes forward, collecting the groceries bag and moving towards the kitchen, Ilya following close behind him, amused. “I’ve just missed you, I’ve been waiting for you to arrive so we can catch up.” 

“Yes, catch up. On what, exactly?” Ilya moves to where Shane has been methodically removing everything from the bag and placing them on the counter, and puts a gentle hand on top of his. “Let’s go to the living room first to… Catch up. We can put things away later.” Moving his hand to fully grasp Shane’s, he uses it to pull him towards the living room, sitting on the couch and quickly pulling his boyfriend with him.

They stare at each other for a few seconds, until Ilya breaks and lets out a laugh. 

“What? What is it?” 

“I…” Shane clears his throat and moves, joining his hands on his lap. “I’ve… Hm…” He looks to the side, clearing his throat again, and Ilya waits. “I created a fan account.” Shane blurts out, immediately looking down, feeling the burn on his cheeks. A few seconds pass without another sound, so he peaks up at his boyfriend to find him frowning, face twisted a little to the side in confusion. 

“A… Sorry, what? A fan account?” He asks, and Shane simply nods quietly in reply. “On Instagram? For who? Yourself?” 

“No, Twitter, actually. And… No.” 

“No, what?” 

“It’s for you.” 

“For me? You made it for me?” Ilya points at himself with both index fingers, confused.

“No. I mean, yes. The account is mine, but it is… Hm… Dedicated. To you. Kind of. I guess.” He laughs nervously. “I mean… Not mine, mine, I put it under a fake name, so it’s not really me. Obviously.” 

“Obviously.” Ilya replies dryly, his face blank. “I don’t even know what to ask you.” 

“Let me show you, that’s easier.” Shane gets up, going to the bedroom to retrieve his laptop, opening Twitter on his new account.

 


One hour later…

Notes:

i love social media stories and this idea came to me when i was thinking about what shane and ilya could do to make things lighter for them, while also being fun and harmless, so of course my brain thought: STAN TWITTER.

hope the formatting was understandable and easy to follow - feedbacks are appreciated!
PS: i did not check if any of these twitter handles or names exist, i just made them up randomly, so if by any chance this is you and you want me to change it you can comment or talk to me on twitter - i'm @thirteenick there too!

i hope this was entertaining and you had a good time with this silly story - i will update chapters 2 and 3 very soon.
i'm an insecure bean and am terrified of posting something for HR for the first time ever, but i genuinely hope you have a good time with this <3

drink water!!!

love,
pat
