    Summary

    It’s dark, and Ilya’s not quite sure where he is.

    His entire body is numb. His shoes are soaking wet from trudging lazily through the snow. His nose is running, and his lips are chapped.

    Selfishly, he wishes Shane would fuss over him now. Pull him close, whisper “I forgive you” even though he shouldn’t, because Ilya would never change, because something inside him- in his family line, in his soul- was broken.

    Ilya wondered how long ago it had clicked- when Shane had realized that Ilya wormed his way into this country and tricked the Hollanders into caring for him, then returned the favor by botching their language and leaving a trail of mess in his wake. He still can't help but wonder if that will be part of his punishment- being doomed to miss him in death, too.

     

    or: Ilya’s mostly been able to cope with the fact that he’ll never be able to articulate himself fully in this country- but he’s also never been good at talking about feelings in the first place.

    "I'm tired" is the best he's got. It definitely doesn't capture what's going on in his head, and Shane can't read minds.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a simple energy drink commercial. It wasn't supposed to end with Shane falling apart and Ilya Rozanov, of all people, being the only person available to put him back together.

    Or: what if instead of their first hookup, Shane had a caffeine-induced panic attack and Ilya stayed with him all night to calm him down?

    Summary

    He didn’t see the thunder coming.
    He flinched so hard his body almost lifted from the mattress. Shane understood.
    “Oh, Ilya,” he said it so gently, like he was speaking to a child, or a scared puppy. Or maybe both. At the same time, “Come here, sweetheart. It’s ok.”

    “I just can’t sleep. And you always said I could come to you if– If I needed it,” Luca’s voice was low, he was staring at the floor.
    “Yes, Luca, you should come to me when something is wrong. I am captain, so I am like mama duck with her ducklings."

     

    or

    While in Tampa for a game, a tropical storm hits the city and both Ilya and Luca find out how much easier it gets if you let yourself be vulnerable enough to get comforted.

    "Jane" gets added to the Centaures WAGs chat shortly after Ilya moves to Ottawa. Maybe a group of girl friends is exactly what Shane needs in the face of hardship

    "We are not anything."

    And that was how it started.
