the kingfisher, january 2022
Following a hard-won game aganst the New York Admirals, several members of the gayest team in the NHL sit in a booth in the Kingfisher.
Ilya sits beside his husband, wearing a crop top that reads “Slut for Equality” for seven lines and then in bold and right-centered, “Let’s Fuck The System.”
It’s nothing Shane would ever wear and so very fitting for Ilya.
Not for the first time, Shane wonders if his husband’s T-shirt collection isn’t more than a bit of a rebellion against his father’s abhorrent parenting.
He grabs Ilya’s hand and squeezes it.
