    Summary

    “We’ve made a trade,” Coach announces. “For Shane Hollander.”

    It’s like the ground drops out from beneath Ilya, and his heart falls from his chest. It tumbles past rock bottom, down to the cavern that shattered open inside of him on that night five years ago. The night when Ilya walked away from Hollander for the last time.

    He can’t breathe.

    (Or: Shane doesn’t get hurt, they break up, and they don’t talk for five long years. Until Shane is traded to Ottawa.)

    Jane
    [1 image]

    Ilya stared at the photo of a tiny, red faced baby. He wasn’t sure why Shane was sending him a photo of a random newborn.

    Lily
    Cute! Whose baby is that?

    Jane
    She’s ours

    Lily
    What?

    Jane
    I had a baby an hour ago

    ***

    Summary

    “I just… I want to know, you know? I’m, like, almost thirty and I don’t know. It’s pathetic.”

    He’s years away from almost thirty, but their sports careers make them feel older than they are. Ilya understands the feeling of being far behind other people.

    And he couldn’t stand the face Shane was making, his I’ve only ever wished I could be like everyone else face. Ilya couldn’t fucking stand it, would do anything to make it ago away.

    Which is why he, against his better judgement, said, “I can take you somewhere.”

    Or; shane turns to his bisexual best friend to help him find a casual hookup and ilya swallows his yearning to make it happen.

    Summary

    “Did J.J. try to set you up with that guy?” Hayden asked.

    Shane nodded, then frowned. "Why didn't you, like, discourage him?"

    "That dude sounded perfect for you.” Hayden immediately held his hands up as outrage flashed across Shane’s features. “What? I just think you can do better!”

    Shane’s mouth dropped open.

    “For fuck’s sake, Hayden.”

    Hayden laughed as he crossed the room and dropped down onto the bench beside him, nudging Shane’s arm with his elbow.

    “I’m kidding. Mostly. Besides-”

    Shane closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.

    “It’s not funny.”

    “Hey,” Hayden said in a conciliatory tone, though there was no real apology in it. “Look. I fucking hate the guy, but if he’s what you want…”

    The words chafed. It felt wrong, all wrong, like someone humoring a bad decision. Like of course Shane could do better, should want better. Like it was obvious.

    Shane saw red.
