    Summary

    “Hello Shane. This is Ilya again, calling about your solar panel quote. Call me back when you are able, the number is—”

    Shane pokes the delete button so hard he worries about his phone screen. Every day, this fucking company calls him. Sometimes it’s Elaine or Cyrus, but Shane finds it the most irritating when it’s Ilya. Something about his attitude in his definitely-not-attractive-and-distracting Russian accent makes him sound smug, like he knows he’ll get the sale.

    He will never get the sale.

    Shane Hollander is never getting solar panels installed. Someone should probably tell Ilya, the solar panel salesman.

    Summary

    Just before his 21st birthday, Shane Hollander left the team that drafted him and signed on with Boston Raiders, his one-time rival. He left his parents, his apartment, his routine, the rumors swirling around the Metros locker room, and the country he calls home. In their place he has a six foot Russian in his bed and a new team of strangers on the ice. Can he learn how to navigate their expectations while hiding his relationship with their star center before the secrets he's been hiding from Ilya bleed into their future together? And if he can manage that, can he also help bring the Raiders their next Stanley Cup before his team learns the truth?

    Summary

    He loved the idea of them being his family after years of having none, and he wanted to make them happy, so he added second, third and fourth presents for each and every Hollander into his cart, and felt better and better with every next swipe of his card.

    or, a little peek into the first Christmas Ilya spends with Hollanders.

    Summary

    Hayden: Babe.
    Hayden:...do you think Shane could be gay?

    Jackie: Definitely.

    Hayden: Wait, seriously?

    Jackie: Yeah, I’ve suspected for years.
    Jackie: But why do you think so all of a sudden?

    Hayden: Okay, we have to come back to that but.
    Hayden: I got a message from him that I don’t think was meant for me…

    Jackie: What did it say?

    Hayden: You’re going to make me type it out?

    Jackie: Hayden, you’re thirty years old. Type out the message. It can’t be that bad.

    Hayden: Something about missing a cock desperately.

    Summary

    “He’s drunk,” Hayden shoots back. “And I’m taking him home.”

    “No.”

    The word is sharp. Final. Hayden’s eyes flash. “You don’t get to make that call.”

    Ilya’s voice drops, dangerous. “You think I will let him leave with someone else when he can barely stand?”

    “Someone else?” Hayden scoffs. “I’ve known him for ten years. I'm his best friend. Who the hell are you to him, Rozanov?”

    Shane is drunk. Hayden and Ilya both want to take care of him.
