Summary
Something shifted after All Stars; neither Shane nor Ilya brought any attention to it when they were together. They poked at it a bit more over text, but neither of them were eager to do more than very obviously ignore it.

December 23, 2008
“Freckles?” He askes and points to the dots on his cheekbones. Ilya nods in agreement and commits the word freckles to memory. “You like my freckles.” The blush is back when Shane realizes what he said.
Ilya has the sudden thought that this moment is important, a voice in his head that might sound like his mother, or might be his own that says, don’t fuck this up, not this one. Ilya decides very suddenly that he is going to listen, and against every instinct ingrained in him, decides to be honest.

“You forget English again, Rozanav? Are my vesnushki that distracting?”
Ilya laughed, caught off guard. “So you know Russian now, Shane Hollander?”

Summary
There are so many things these days that Nikolai Petrov can’t believe. He can’t believe he’s actually going to get to play professional hockey. Can’t believe he isn’t going to be relegated to some second rate Russian league in Moscow. But most of all, he can’t believe that he’s standing on Ilya Rozanov’s doorstep.
---
The Ottawa Centaurs have a new Russian rookie - the first Russian rookie Ilya's ever had, and Ilya is determined to make him feel welcome. Petrov finds that Rozanov and Hollander aren't at all what he expected (Hollander is somehow even more Canadian than he thought possible), but they somehow make him feel just a little more at home in this strange new country.
