    Summary

    The room went quiet for exactly three seconds before it erupted.

    "Holy shit, Rozanov has a date!"

    "Who is she?"

    "How long has this been going on?"

    "Is she hot?"

    Ilya let them speculate, keeping his expression carefully neutral as he finished changing. This was the game he'd gotten good at over the past year: deflecting without lying, misdirecting without being obvious about it. His teammates were good guys, but they didn't need to know. Couldn't know.

    Nobody could know that Ilya Rozanov's Valentine's Day plans involved Shane Hollander.

    Or, Hollanov are still a secret, Shane is making an exception on his diet, and Ilya has something to celebrate.

    Summary

    March 11, 2020: “In breaking news, the NBA has suspended the 2020 season until further notice after Utah Jazz star Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus.”

    Shane closes his book and sits up straighter. “Whoa, suspended the season? This is going to affect every single professional league.” Ilya snuggles deeper into his lap, feeling anxiety radiate through Shane's body as he reaches for his phone. Ilya makes no move to get up and starts to massage Shane's thigh.

    Ilya feels suddenly lighter at the possibility of a canceled hockey season. Months uninterrupted to do exactly what they’re doing, all day, every day. Cooking and cuddling and teasing and binging TV and taking Anya on long walks. Not to mention the filthy, filthy things he'll be able do with his fiancé when there's nowhere to be. His own personal heaven on Earth.

    _________________

    Or:

    In the early days of COVID, home quarantine and a hockey hiatus sound pretty ideal to Ilya. He forgot his fiancé is certifiable.

    Summary

    Ilya guides them to shift their weight in time with the music. Shane remembers trying to dance with Rose this way. He'd made a valiant attempt, to be sure, but dancing with Ilya now makes it very clear that it was only an attempt, like everything else with her had been. This easy push and pull between him and Ilya, the way Shane lets himself be guided by the gentle pressure on his waist, the way Ilya half-sings the song in a voice meant just for him—this is the real thing, or at least a glimpse of it. He knows there can be more. He wants all of it.

    "Fun, yes?" Ilya prompts, never one to let Shane hide his enjoyment.

    "Yeah. Fun."

    Or: The one where Ilya and Shane finally have a good time together at a club.

    Summary

    Shane sighed with relief as the doors of the elevator closed. Whoever was in the hall probably didn’t see him. He would figure out how to move past the humiliation of sending that text message to Ilya. But first, he needed to get back to the safety of his hotel room. 

    “That was close,” Shane murmured to himself and slumped against the wall. 

    The doors of the elevator opened again. 

    Shane straightened at the sight of Ilya Rozanov, wearing nothing but an unbuttoned pair of slacks, his golden chain, and a phone in his hand. 

    [OR Ilya realized he made a mistake letting Shane go after their hookup in Vegas. As he's rushing to find Shane, he receives a text message from Shane that reads: We didn’t even kiss.]
