    Summary

    The most common question Shane fields in interviews is, "What's your secret?" Every time, and Ilya thinks he might have watched every interview ever published with Shane Hollander in the chair, so he is an authority on this, Shane has leaned just a touch closer to the microphone and said with utter sincerity. "Preparation."

    “You were being extra nice knowing you were going to throw me into the fire the second the sun went down. You didn’t think to tell me this was about my friendship with Barrett?”

    Summary

    Shane can’t look at him. He can’t really look at anyone but he manages to lift his head and stare right back into Troy’s glistening eyes.

    “I never had that advantage, Troy. I never got to take it out on anyone, for any of it. All the times I got on that ice to play some hockey and some… fuckwit idiot like Kent, or whoever was calling me slurs— whether they were gay ones or racist ones… I couldn’t just hurl them back and call it a day like you did.”

    He swallows hard. He thinks he might be sick a little bit in his mouth.

    “You know how fucking lucky you are? To have gotten away with it? They love you, Barrett. This team loves you! You’re fucking celebrated because you overcame this big, terrible thing but for me it’s—”

    He thinks about his mom in that very split second. His beautiful, wonderful mom who’d coached him his entire life on how to be polite, how to be well behaved. How to answer to teachers the right way, to coaches, to cops to the press to the general public to his fucking teammates—

    He looks away. The fight suddenly drains right out of him and he goes back to his bag.
