    Summary

    There's another baby photo trend going around social media, and since the last one went over so well, Harris wants the team to try it. It's the one where they put a statement about an adult over a picture of them as a baby, like a cherubic little baby Ilya captioned "THIS IS WHO PUNCHED A REFEREE." But this time, the Centaurs staff are getting in on the action, and Harris shows his own version to the team as an example.

    When Shane sees little tiny Harris, he's struck literally speechless. He's been hanging out with Harris since before he was officially a Centaur. How did he never recognize that the team's social media manager was his favorite teammate from junior skills clinics? How did he not realize, with the benefit of hindsight and also knowing his sexuality, that Harris was his biggest childhood crush?

    (No angst, no cheating, no insecurity. It's all good times and fond memories here!)

    Summary

    The thing about being gay and closeted---gay and closeted and desperate to stay there and terrified that the people around you will figure it out---is that it leads to a lot of walking on eggshells. You wear a purple shirt one time and a teammate says that it's girly, what are you, gay?, and you laugh it off then throw the shirt away and never wear anything purple (or pink, or orange or yellow, just to be safe) again. You can sacrifice that to keep your secret, your friendships, your career safe.

    One locker room joke about bands that wear eyeliner, and rookie Shane Hollander (whose buddy Joe lost a stick of liner in his car on their way to Warped Tour that summer to celebrate the start of his NHL career) panics and says he doesn't listen to music at all, ever. To keep the lie going, he stops listening to music in public for over a decade---until Harris is trying to talk to him about a social media trend and references a song Shane is too distracted to pretend he doesn't know.

    Summary

    Now Shane is an Ottawa Centaur, Harris is eager to film one of his popular player video segments with him.

    *

    “So what I do is take a hobby the guys enjoy and make short videos of them, well, doing it!” Harris laughed again, his hands waving around as he spoke. Shane wondered if he would ever get used to how passionately this man expressed himself.

    “Once we have the hobby, we then need to think of a word to describe it that begins with S,” Harris added, his eyes darting down to his notebook where he had already made some notes.

    “Why S?” Shane asked, suddenly not following again.

    “Is Harris’s idea,” Ilya explained. “Riding with Roz, Hazy’s Heroes, BBQing with Bood.”

    Shane nodded and then asked slowly, “So what hobby were you thinking of?”

    Summary

    INTERVIEWER: Excuse me, sorry, are you two a couple?

    The two of them stop, startled. The man in front narrows his eyes warily, looking back to his – presumably – partner.

    MAN 1: ...And if we are?

    MAN 2: This is social media thing?

    OR: Shane and Ilya appear on the famous Instagram account Meet Cutes NYC.
