    Summary

    He’s standing across from Ilya in his kitchen. Their feet are almost touching, Ilya’s in black socks that Shane also has multiple pairs of, Shane’s in his favourite soft striped ones. The rain is getting louder outside, moving from a drizzle to a downpour. And Ilya is looking at him like he loves him.

    Summary

    The thing about Raiders was that they were all unhelpful assholes, and this quality only got enhanced with alcohol. Indistinct bass made faint words further indiscernible as St. Simon presumably made his way through whatever club him and his teammates had decided to hole up in for the moment.
    “St. Simon?” Scott called, and predictably got no answer. He rolled his eyes, let his head thump back against the brick. The motion jostled Roz out of his half-doze, and he blearily picked his head up.
    “I hate your team,” Scott told him.
    Rozanov blinked at him.

    Or, Ilya gets roofied at a club and accidentally comes out to Scott Hunter in the process.

    Summary

    Being a professional athlete in a contact sport is an exercise in enduring pain. Sometimes you get benched for three weeks because you have a broken cheekbone after you get hit in the face with a slap shot. Sometimes you play through a strained quad, a bruised shoulder, a mild fever. Most times, it’s just the constant, unending soreness that comes with pushing your body to its limit every single day. Every athlete had an injury they hated most, though, one that’s particularly painful or recurrent or just annoying. 

    Ilya fucking hated injuring his ribs. There is almost nothing you can do with your body that doesn't involve moving your torso, and the pain is deep, throbbing, and gets just a tiny bit worse every time you breathe. Sitting up hurts, lying down hurts, walking hurts, and worst of all, coughing fucking hurts.

    or

    Ilya is sick and injured in the off-season. Luckily, Shane loves him so very much and is there to take care of him.

    Summary

    “I think I bit off more than I could chew,” Ilya says, pushing himself up to take the cigarette from Sasha and finish it.

    Sveta doesn’t know what it means. She’ll only understand it years later—when she’s already certain it’s everything Ilya ever does.
