Summary
He thought he’d pulled it off. He thought he got away with it.
Ilya just wanted more time.
He just wanted the opportunity to pause a bit, to take his time with Shane’s body other than in the confines of a dark hotel room, and to get to see a bit more of Shane’s intriguing mind. He thought it might help quench the unexplained thirst for him, that he has for no one else.

Summary
At the rink, during the games, Ilya is focused, his goal is clear, and he is locked in on it.
When he’s out of the ice, Ilya feels like a lion in a cage, like he’s pacing around an enclosure that is too small, too tight, too stifling as he counts down the days until the next Raiders’ game against the Metros.
***
Or, after the tuna melt incident and the game that followed, Ilya decides to give Shane some time to cool off before he reaches out.(A continuation of “Love’s the Death of Peace of Mind”, but can be read as a stand-alone).

Summary
Ilya loves sex.
Because it’s the most natural, pleasurable activity that any two (or more) consenting adults can engage into that doesn’t come with a defined process, or a one-size-fits-all way of doing it. It’s a dialogue, a very unique give and take between the people involved, a creative, singular experience each time.
He also never repeats sexual encounters with anyone.
There are two exceptions to that rule. Svetlana, and Shane Hollander.***
or: Ilya tries to understand why Shane Hollander has managed to become a rare exception to his rule.Set right pre-tuna melt, and sets the scene to their meeting at Ilya's.
Edit: can be read as a standalone, but now included in a series, as a prologue to my pieces on the tuna melt incident and its aftermath from both their POV

“Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword.”Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol

Summary
Ilya died, yes, but then the doctors saved him. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the ambulance, three electric shocks, two emergency surgeries, twenty-six units of blood. Ilya died, but then he came back.
If only Shane could get his subconscious to understand that.

Summary
Ilya taps ashes off the end of his cig, ignoring Shane’s repeated glance between his fingers and his face. But he makes sure—because he is nothing if not a sucker for a little bit of attention—to rub his lips against each other before wetting them with his tongue, then placing the cigarette back in his mouth. Hopes that the curve of his mouth around it isn’t as offputting as Hollander seems intent to pretend it is. I got you, Hollander, he thinks. I get it, I get how it feels to realize you want something. To have it be undefinable until someone else spells it out for you.
