hydrogen has only one shell and since it has atomic number one, its net number of electrons is one. the first shell can hold maximum of 2 electrons due to the bohr bury formula. so the number of electrons in its first shell is 1. to fill it 1 electrons are required which can be gained from any metal.

Can hydrogen fill it's outside shells with two electrons?

Yes, hydrogen can fill its outer shell with two electrons. Hydrogen has one electron in its first shell, so by gaining one more electron it can achieve a stable configuration with two electrons in its outer shell.
