    Summary

    “The twins are having some big feelings about being disappointed,” Jackie explained. “We tried to get tickets for Taylor Swift in Toronto next year. But Ticketmaster was… Ticketmaster.”

    “Ah,” Shane said, wincing in immediate sympathy. “Bummer. Aren’t there resale ones, though?”

    Hayden dropped onto the opposite end of the sectional with a beer in hand and snorted.
    “Yeah, for like, the price of a small car. I am not paying that much for a concert.”

    “Why not?” Ilya drawled, turning his head toward Hayden. “You do not have money for resale?”

    Hayden didn’t even look at him. “I have money. I just also have sense.”

    “Ah.” Ilya nodded thoughtfully. “So Montreal paid you so little you must budget carefully. Makes sense. Fifteenth best player on team, yes?”

    “Hey,” Shane said. “Maybe don’t start a fist fight in our living room.”

    Ilya looked up at him, entirely unrepentant.

    “I am helping,” he said. “He says he cannot afford tickets. I am investigating.”

    Hayden scoffed. “You wanna help? You buy them, then.”

    “Okay.” Ilya reached for his phone. “Done."

    Summary

    [Ilya Rozanov yawns and stretches shirtless in his kitchen. Pajama pants hang low on his waist, and his hair is rumpled from sleep. He smiles and waves at the camera, and when he comes closer, he leans down so his face is level with the camera, his eyes bright even though he’s obviously tired.]

    Ilya: Good morning! It is ass o’clock, and I hate that I am awake, but today you are going to spend the day with me and my boyfriend. And I know what you are thinking, ‘what man could possibly be worthy of you, Ilya?’ and I get it. I ask myself this every day, but my boyfriend is very wonderful, even if he is much, much less famous than me and not nearly as good at hockey, and I think it’s about time you all get to know him. So, yay boyfriend reveal! And now I’m going to make him his disgusting breakfast smoothie, and then bring you along for our day together because my friend Harris Drover says I need more content on the internet, and what better way to do that than to tell you I’m bi, and that I have a boyfriend, and show you how disgustingly in love we are?

    [Ilya straightens so that his bare torso is the only thing in the frame, his abs flexing as he reaches over to turn on the blender.]

    Summary

    "I'm saying," Hanson explained with exaggerated slowness, "that you must be having some crazy sex to make up for all the shit he's got going on."
    "What shit?" Ilya asked, confused.
    "Oh, you know." More clinking glass. "He's, well, he's pretty boring."
    If Shane hadn't been a little tipsy himself, he wouldn't have reacted at all. As it was, he flinched.
    Hanson was still talking, pensive now. "Allergic to fun, I guess. He doesn't drink, doesn't party…" He snorted. "He does yoga, for fuck's sake."
    "Yes, he does," Ilya said, unperturbed. "He's very flexible."

    Or: Shane overhears Ilya getting the "but why did you pick him?" talk.

    Summary

    But Shane's eyes were wet and slightly bloodshot, and his breaths still came in shudders. "I, I can't... understand you. Not really. Not..." His fingers clenched in Ilya's tank top. The fabric was thin enough that Ilya felt his hands shake. "Not fully. I can't fin... finish your sentences."
    Ilya didn't really laugh, because Shane was still crying, but he let out a half-smiling breath. "Shane, is okay," he said gently. "I speak English, remember?" Well, much better when he hadn't been drinking.
    "Tha's not it," Shane sniffed. His words were starting to blur. He was quite a bit drunker than Ilya thought he'd planned to get. "'s not like Scott and Kip. There's a, a whole part of you that I jus'... don' know."

    In which being in a multi-lingual relationship is made harder by alcohol.

    Summary

    "Wait," Hollander said slowly. He turned his head and stared hard at Rozanov. "All this time?"
    Rozanov, who was several mouthfuls and a moan into his second éclair, hummed and gave a sort of half-shrug. There was whipped cream on his chin.
    "Ilya," Hollander said, louder. He knocked the back of his hand into Rozanov's shoulder. "What the fuck? I've been saying your name wrong?"

    Summary

    It was pure chance that Shane saw it happen. The handle of Gallagher's stick got caught in the neck of Ilya's jersey.
    The torn edge of his collar flapped free. Something small and golden tumbled onto the ice.

    In which Shane's sharp eyes catch an important detail during a heated match.

    Summary

    He picked up. For a second he considered saying, 'privet,' but then settled for, "Hello?"
    "Mr. Shane Hollander?"
    It was a male voice, with a thick Russian accent. "Yes," Shane said. "Um... da. Kto govorit'?"
    The man continued in English, undeterred by Shane's fumbling attempt at Russian. "You are friend of Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov?"
    A foreboding chill raced over his skin at Ilya's full name. It doesn't mean anything, he chided himself. It was just politeness. Formality.
    "Yeah," Shane said. 'Friend,' indeed. "What's going on?"
    "I'm sorry to disturb you." The man paused for a moment, solemn. "I call from hospital. Mr. Rozanov is very sick."
    The bottom fell out of Shane's stomach. He was glad both of his feet were on the floor.
    "What?"

    In which, cut off from his brother, Alexei Rozanov tries another avenue to get money.

    Summary

    Ilya sits down carefully and takes Shane’s hand. “I am going to ask you something, and I want you to try not to freak out, okay? Take a breath, think about it.”
    That sounds… serious.
    “The Centaurs are having a barbeque,” Ilya says. “I would like to go, and I would like you to come with me.”

    Shane meets the Centaurs. As Ilya's close personal friend slash charity partner from Canada.

    Summary

    Shane breathes in deep, a contented little sigh, and then pauses for another long time. Just slightly tensed, like he’s preparing himself for something, but Ilya doesn’t really have the chance to worry before he says, “I had…a good time tonight.”
    “Mm, was good night,” Ilya murmurs. Kisses hair, kisses eyebrow. “Nice dinner, nice weather.”
    “Yeah, it was nice,” Shane murmurs. He sighs, clears his throat. “Thank you for such a nice first date.”
    Ilya mouths first date to himself, mind running to figure out what that could mean in this context.
    Then Shane shifts and says, “I wasn’t sure what to expect when you asked me out.”
    Ah.

    Shane decides to play a game. Ilya is exactly where he wants to be.

    Summary

    Ilya has always known Shane could do better than him. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’s finally found it.

    Found someone else.

    Summary

    “We could’ve had everything,” Shane admitted softly.

    The confession hurt more than he expected.

    “A real relationship. A family. A future.” His eyes drifted toward the planes outside again before he exhaled slowly. “But dreams eventually end.” A small, tired smile pulled at his mouth. “And this is me waking up.”

    Summary

    Most of the time, Ilya doesn’t pick on him about it. Partly because Ilya knows when to pick and choose his battles, and any battle relating to a Shane routine is lost before it starts – but mainly because the little sleepy snuffling sounds that he insists he doesn’t make because he’s not sleeping, he’s meditating, so shut the fuck up, are really fucking cute.

    But sometimes, Ilya wants – needs – his husband’s undivided attention in their last few moments of peace before another loud, hectic, and exhausting day full of other people stealing it.

    Or maybe annoying Shane just enough to get him to slam the door a little bit too hard on his way out of the car, to give Ilya one quick dose of his adorable angry kitten face, is Ilya’s own form of morning meditation.

    “Shane.”

    Shane starts a bit, but otherwise doesn’t move or open his eyes. “Hmm?”

    “What sport would you play if you were more athletic?

    Summary

    “Do you – is there anything we can do?” Bood asks. “To help?”

    Ilya shakes his head.

    “Okay,” Bood says. “No problem. Do you want me or one of the others to stay here with you? Or would you rather be alone?”

    “Alone,” Ilya says. His voice comes out rough. He clears his throat, but it doesn’t really help. “But maybe -” His face burns hot with humiliation at asking, but the thought of the house empty makes him shiver with cold even under the covers. “Maybe you stay downstairs?”

    Ilya is having a bad day. Shane is out of town. That doesn’t mean Ilya is alone.

    Summary

    “Your order?” Ilya asks.

    “Oh, um.” The stranger has gone very pink underneath his freckles. Ilya watches him study the menu. He chews on his bottom lip. It’s distracting. “Could I have a green tea, please? To take away?”

    Ilya blinks at him. “Okay.”

    “My name is Shane. If you need it. For the order.”

    “Is not Starbucks. You are only customer right now. I know is your order.”

    “Right, of course.” The blush intensifies. Ilya gives himself a second to stare, then makes the tea.

    What a waste, when he just got a batch of fresh beans this morning, and is incredible at making coffee.

    ---

    Ilya doesn’t usually care what his customers at the coffee shop order. But when the same guy with those fucking freckles starts showing up ordering nothing but tea, when Ilya is making world-class coffee right there, he can’t help but be a little intrigued.

    Summary

    “You will not be so friendly when we beat you.” Yes. That’s pretty good. It’s not the exact thing he wants to say, but it sounds cool, though he could have done better in Russian. Before the draft, he has to practise more, so that by the time he’s playing in the NHL, he’ll be better. He wants to be able to chirp properly. English is not a very good language for insults, but Ilya knows he’ll be good at using it for that anyway.

    They’re kissing on the sofa, slow and filthy, like their first time at the cottage, when Ilya says, “Like that, sweetheart,” and Shane can’t keep himself from pulling away to ask.

    “Should I say that?”

    Ilya blinks at him. “Say what?”

    “I mean, should I call you pet names?”

    Ilya can’t keep himself from laughing. “I have become very bad at sex, I think, if you are thinking of words to describe forests while we are doing this.”

    “You started it, asshole,” Shane says, petulant even as he pushes his hips back into Ilya’s touch.

    “No. You started it, when you told me last summer you want to be fucked against a tree.”

    Summary

    Rozanov looks away, breathing hard. “Does not matter,” he says. “Forget it. I should go.”

    And no. Shane doesn’t want Rozanov to go. He wants to fix whatever is wrong. He grabs Rozanov’s face and turns his head so their eyes meet.

    “Fuck, baby,” Shane breathes. “You know how good you are.”

    For a moment, he’s taken aback by Rozanov’s expression, until he realises what he just said.
