    Summary

    ILYA: For a long time… this was something I kept locked in my chest.

    His hand presses lightly against his sternum as he says it.

    ILYA (CONT'D): I could not talk about Shane. Not to teammates. Not to media. Not even to friends sometimes. I lived in fear - fear of losing hockey. Fear of losing respect. Fear of losing him.

    Shane, noticing his anxiety, reaches for him - pulling Ilya's hand into his own, running a thumb across his knuckles

    INTERVIEWER: And now?

    Ilya’s expression changes. It brightens, not theatrically, but genuinely. It’s like a cloud clears away, and for a moment he looks radiant.

    ILYA: And now… Now, I finally get to live in the open. I am very excited about that.

    Summary

    “Your heart-eyes for him reminds me of myself when I first laid eyes on my Shane.”

    Luca sunk further into the seat. “That’s- I wasn’t looking at him at all!”

    “Also, Haas looked in love. YOU looked at me like I was gonna give you a disease in that parking lot.”

    Luca Haas has a meltdown on the ice in the final five minutes of the game.

    Confidence scarred, he throws himself into a summer athlete campaign with the Centaurs to outrun the fear that he’ll never be as skilled, confident, or sexually expressive as Ilya Rozanov was at his age.

    But when “charismatic-and-charming” Luca snaps and shocks everyone by starting a fistfight with Filipino-Canadian youth athlete Angelo Perez, summer quickly derails into a dilemma to be seen as mature, a struggle with emotional vulnerability, and these newfound, guilty urges for the very guy he fought on day one.

    Centaur matchmaking. Missing home. A messy summer fling. An exploration of what sparks are supposed to feel like. And Ilya catches Luca buying condoms.

    And Angelo’s “bad influence” that makes Luca feel—maybe for just one summer—that it's okay to be a little selfish.

    OR; a fan-made imitation of the scrapped Haas book
