    Summary

    Fuck. He can’t do this now. 

    He pinches his thigh in an effort to redirect his thoughts from spiraling, but it doesn’t help. The additional guilt of not wanting to make it about himself seems to tip him over the edge and - fucking, ugh.

    Summary

    Caroline 🦋 @Harrys_long_hair91

    So, earlier today I went to the courthouse for my sister’s wedding, and I’m like 99.99% sure I saw Rose Landry and her boyfriend getting married(?). They were wearing matching outfits and looked so happy. She was holding a beautiful bouquet and they couldn’t stop smiling, like, look at her, she looks stunning! (I didn’t share earlier because I didn’t want people annoying them on their special day)

    TMZ: X-SQUAD STAR ROSE LANDRY MARRIES HOCKEY PLAYER SHANE HOLANDER IN SECRET CEREMONY: photos, videos, and witnesses’ details. 

    As if on cue, Shane’s phone goes crazy. Messages from his agent, his teammates, the press, and his parents. He ignores them,

    “W-what the fuck? What’s happening?” 

    “Someone… oh my god, someone took pictures of us yesterday and…crap.”

    ----

    OR: Shane and Rose attend a friend's secret wedding. Someone takes pictures, and the internet assumes they were the ones getting married. Ilya hasn't spoken to Shane since the tuna melt day... and now the whole internet is saying he's married to Rose Landry.

    The All-Star weekend is about to get really interesting.

    Shane isn’t known for his temper.

    That’s intentional.

    Summary

    Hayden knows what he saw. Clear as day, right there in the middle of Shane’s text thread with Lily.

    A dick pic.

    Hayden keeps mindlessly scrolling Instagram—a pantomime of paying attention, not really taking in anything that’s passing across his screen. Mind racing as a series of realizations wash over him.

    Christ, no wonder Shane was so cagey about Lily. No wonder he didn’t want to introduce her to the guys.

    Hayden would like to believe that everyone would be chill with it, but he could think of at least five guys off the top of his head that would a hundred percent take issue with Shane dating a trans woman. He can imagine, far too easily, the kind of slurs that would get thrown around the locker room if anyone ever found out. Towards Lily, sure, but towards Shane too—because Shane had to be gay, if his girlfriend had a dick, right?

     
    Or, Hayden finds out something that he was never supposed to, and decides that the only thing he can do is show his best friend that he can be the best ally ever, if he just gives him the chance.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Not the point of the fic, but I have been struck by the idea of trans fem Hayden feeling guilty for being weirdly jealous of jackies pregnancies even though she's in pain and struggling and stuff, and being clueless as to why and thinking he's a really bad feminist. Getting toooo happy when the twins insist on doing his nails and makeup and including him in tea parties. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
