Summary
We could talk about what the fuck Shane sees in you.
Ilya is still thinking about it hours later. In Shane’s dark bedroom, with the man in question snoring softly beside him, Ilya can’t let Hayden’s comment at dinner go.
In the moment, he didn’t process the jab as anything more than an excuse to take a cheap shot right back at Hayden. But now that the dust has settled on his first official conversation with Shane’s best friend, Ilya can’t forget the snide remark.
It’s not the first time someone questioned why someone like Ilya would be like someone with Shane. The first time anyone ever saw them as a couple, Shane’s dad made a comment about Shane being unable to find any ‘nice boys in Montreal’. Sure, they were still reeling from the shock of Ilya being more than a hockey player that runs his mouth more than not, but Ilya understands the implication. He is not a ‘nice boy’, not the kind of man that Shane deserves.

“Friendly chats. For years. On Instagram.” Ilya glanced up at Shane, who looked… confused. Truly, honestly confused. Like they’d been sending cordial emails and not Instagram chats. And why did that make Ilya smile? A low, rich laugh slipped from his lips. “You really have no idea?”
“What?”
“Instagram is for… chatting, yes?” Ilya waggled his eyebrows. “But also, for, what do you call it? Sliding into DMs?”

"Apologise to my husband."
Comeau stared at him.
"I'm not-"
"I didn't ask if you wanted to," Shane said, his voice ice cold. "I said apologise to my husband. You're going to do it now, in front of this building full of people, and then we're going to finish this game, and if I hear you say something like that again, to either of us or to anyone else in this league, the next conversation we have will not be as easy as this one."

Summary
It hits her then, how well Ilya must know her son. That he gets Shane and supports him. It can’t have been an easy thing, walking into what could have been the lion’s den after getting caught by his boyfriend’s father. He did it anyway – for Shane. His love for Shane is written all over his face.
Since their rookie year.
Shane has had this, Ilya – though she tries not to think too hard about the details – for nine years!
She and David have been so worried that Shane might be lonely. He’s always found it difficult to connect with people, didn’t have a lot of friends as a kid.
He’s not lonely though; he has Ilya. For that, she thinks she might love Ilya, just a little.
