    Summary

    He doesn’t know how he ends up in the downstairs coat closet.

    No memory exists of moving, of going down the staircase and shedding his ruined clothing until he’s only in his underwear, or opening the door and ripping all of Mama’s coats down to the floor. Vaguely, he recalls trembling in the cloud of her scent, stale and unhappy under the haze of old cigarettes.

    What he remembers is flashes. Alexei, furious tears in his eyes, telling Papa he’d found Ilya. Papa, scowling down at him, snapping, “Ilya, get out of this closet right now.” One of Papa’s cop friends, saying, “Jesus, Grika, look at him. He’s in h—” and Papa replying coldly, “Not another word.”

    Papa, kneeling in front of the closet, saying in an uncomfortable, painfully false, soft voice, “Synok, come out now. You cannot nest here.”

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    Unknown Number: Answer your fucking calls, Shane Hollander.

    Then another one, mere seconds later.

    Unknown Number: I’m open to using bribery or threats to get you to talk.

    Yuna picked up Shane’s phone, eyebrows raised.

    Unknown Number: I have Ilyusha’s baby pictures, Hollander. I will hold them hostage.

    The screen lit up with a call within the next thirty seconds, and Yuna didn’t hesitate before answering.

    “This is Yuna, Shane’s mother.”

    -

    If pressed, Yuna would deny snooping. Shane (and David, and likely Ilya) would disagree, but that was fine. It’s not like she’d gone looking; Shane had simply left his phone in view and she so happened to see some messages. And then so happened to answer a call from one Svetlana Vetrovna.

    -

    AKA exploring the intrinsic language barriers between someone who grew up with a loving and supportive family, and someone who grew up with a father like Grigori Rozanov.
