Quote: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander (Heated Rivalry)

Ilya: You scared me.

Shane: I'm sorry I didn't text you last night.

Ilya: No, it's OK.

Shane: I was excited about last night. I'm mostly mad at Marleau for fucking that up.

Ilya: He feels really bad.

Shane: You know, I had a whole plan to ask you something.

Ilya: Maybe it's better if you just rest now.

Shane: I was gonna ask you...

Ilya: Hollander...

Shane: Will you come to my cottage this summer? Don't go to Russia. Come to my house. We'll have so much fun. It's so private. No one will know.

Ilya: Hollander, you know I can't do that.

Shane: We could have a week or even two. We'd be completely alone. Together.

Ilya: Maybe. Maybe.

~ Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, Heated Rivalry season 1 episode 5: I'll Believe in Anything

Ilya must have been so worried about Shane. Because after Shane had gotten knocked out during the game, he couldn't be by his side. He had to stand by and let the medical staff take care of Shane and take him to the hospital. And since they are in a secret relationship, Ilya couldn't leave the game and go to the hospital with Shane. Which means he had to continue the game while during all that time being worried about Shane. And then by the time the game was over, so was most likely visiting hours at the hospital. So, he had to wait until morning just to finally see Shane and find out how he was.

Meanwhile, Shane was all drugged out on whatever medicine or painkillers his doctor had him on. And despite the concussion and a fractured collarbone, he probably didn't have a care in the world. Well that is except for wanting to ask Ilya to come to his cottage for the summer. All in all, he was just so happy to see Ilya. He was just so cute and adorable and loopy throughout this scene meanwhile Ilya was all worried and concerned. What I found so interesting is that the love they have for each other was very present not just in this moment but throughout the entire scene. But it's also very funny with how loopy and slightly loud Shane was which had Ilya trying to quiet him down. I really like this scene.
