    Summary

    Shane and Ilya's first photoshoot post-coming out. It goes as well as you'd expect it to.

    ___

    Then Ilya whispers, right into the shell of his ear, “Now we look like penguins.”

    And it’s not at all what he expected to hear. He makes a strangled sound, his hands flying down to cover Ilya’s own on his waist. “What?”

    Ilya rocks them side to side, small and deliberate, like they’re waddling. “Penguins are romantic. They mate for life. You are my penguin.”

    Summary

    “I do not want to make you uncomfortable. With how I talk about us. To others. Like . . . reporters. Or how I treat you in front of others, like the guys on the team.”

    Something like understanding settled on Shane’s face now, and it immediately made Ilya’s heart stop racing. “You think I don’t like PDA.”

    “First time I held your hand in public I thought you were going to have a panic attack,” Ilya admitted.

    --

    Or: Shane's first season on the Ottawa Centaurs, as told through five times Ilya initiated PDA (and one time Shane did).

    Summary

    “He’s showing off for you, Hollander,” says Barrett from his right. Shane whips his head to the side.

    “What?”

    Barrett is looking at him, smirking.

    “I know how he feels. If Harris was sitting watching me play from 5 feet away at every game, I’d look over at him after every goal too.”

    With the help of Troy Barrett and Centaurs YouTube compilations, Shane discovers how obedient Ilya can really be.

    Summary

    Shane tells himself, on the nights when one or both of them is traveling, on the nights when they can’t be together, that he is okay with Ilya doing what he needs to do. To keep his body active, his mind calm. To be able to love Shane without resentment.

    He’s almost able to convince himself he believes it.

    OR

    Shane thinks they have an unspoken agreement for a one-sided open relationship (on Ilya's side). When Ilya suggests that Shane might want to sleep with other men, Shane panics. Sad boy antics ensue.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander was not a boring person. He knew this at heart. He had his own private world of intricate thoughts and was a man of discipline, with a dry wit and a capacity for passion and love that had once felt bottomless. But he had never ever considered his life dull. That was until he started seeing himself through Ilya Rozanov’s eyes.
    -
    Or: years after him and Ilya got together, Shane starts to resent the 'boring' banter.
