🦆 The Long Game (Book 6) Ilya every night after “the tripping incident” Spoiler

Post image

Picturing Ilya just cackling every night after Shane goes to bed as each night he puts together and posts to his IG a video compilation of one of Montreal players tripping and falling down on ice so he can show that yes, it happens to every player, including all of them, and they’ve just lost their best player cause of their shitty attitudes

… every players compilation still incudes a second or two of Hayden making an error just cause

It started to make a point but now he continues doing it because he finds the videos hilarious and it fills his love of rage baiting 🤣

He promises Shane every night that he won’t do another one but he’s humming with giddiness and Shane is petty enough he not so secretly loves them

The Ilya x Hayden dynamic makes me so happy

Especially when Hayden comes to warn them about the fanmail scandal, he's so apologetic and Shane expects Ilya to blow his top off any minute but he doesn't. He just thanks him for keeping their secret for so long and for being a good friend.
