Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
She doesn’t even know his name, is the thing. The guy’s a regular at the bar (never at the restaurant), comes in every single Sunday, and he’s quiet and contemplative enough that Sydney’s eyes might’ve skated right over him if he hadn’t stuck out like a sore thumb amongst every other patron the first time she’d seen him.
OR, Sydney turns to bartending after Sheridan Road crashes and burns. Richie's her regular.
OR, five times Sydney and Richie don't go home together, and one time they do.
