    Summary

    “Shane?” Ilya asks again. “What happened?” His gloveless hand twitches and he lifts it a fraction of an inch towards Shane.

    Shane tosses his own gloves to the ice and reaches forward, lacing their fingers together. “You took a bad hit,” he says, gritting his teeth against the fear clawing at his guts. “Flipped headfirst into the ice. Are you okay?”

    Ilya groans in answer and squeezes his hand, though Shane can't tell if he meant to do that or not.

    Suddenly, there are people all around them. Shane shifts protectively close before he realizes it’s the medical team.

    “Hollander, get back to your bench,” someone says, but there’s no way Shane’s going. Even if he wanted to, Ilya’s gripping his hand like a lifeline, eyes finally locked on Shane’s face. Shane isn’t leaving him.

    He’s already in the room, shutting the door behind himself as quietly as he can before he realises that not only is there someone other than Shane in the room, but there are three someones other than Shane.

    And, as if he hasn’t already fucked up spectacularly, the someones happen to be the Hollanders and Hayden fucking Pike.

    The nurse stops typing. She looks up at both of them and furrows her brow. “I can’t let you see Ilya Rozanov unless you’re his emergency contacts.”

    Fuck. They should have thought this through.

    “Who’s his emergency contact?” David asks.

    The nurse types something else and then looks at her screen. Her eyebrows shoot up to the top of her head. “I think there’s a mistake with his emergency contact,” she rasps out.

    “Is it Shane Hollander?” David asks.

    The nurse nods her head, still staring at the screen.

    “Well, we’re Shane’s parents and since he can’t be here, he asked us to come see Ilya. Is that allowed?”
