    Summary

    It had been about a year since the photograph.

    The angle was wrong. Or right, depending on your perspective. Someone three tables over, a girl in her mid-twenties - not your stereotypical hockey fan, but someone who was clearly chronically online and lacked boundaries - had captured the moment. Ilya’s hand on Shane’s knee, both rings somehow visible. The photo had been posted to Twitter with a simple, “I’M STARTING A RUMOR?!!??? #HOLLANOV”

    They’d finished their dinner and left the restaurant, not knowing that by midnight the photo would have four thousand retweets and a full analysis with red marker annotations in a major MLH subreddit.

    -

    or: Shane and Ilya were outed one year into their marriage and things slowly go terribly, terribly wrong.

    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.

    Summary

    The words sliced through Ilya’s confusion. His own voice from over a week ago, echoed in the sudden, ringing silence of his mind: “You can have sex with other men when we’re apart.”

    No.

    No no no.

    Ilya blinked rapidly, fighting back the hot press of his own tears. The sheer, utter wrongness of it all was suffocating. Shane, on his knees, apologizing for being hurt. Shane, calling himself a burden. Shane, begging for the bare minimum of affection because he thought… he thought Ilya wanted this.

    Summary

    He’s breathing the same air as Shane Hollander. Carbon dioxide is passing from Hollander’s lungs to his. You should be mine, he thinks of commanding, on the off chance Hollander will obey. You’re the center of my world and you should be all mine.

    In which Ilya has a habit, and an obsession.

    ShaneHollanderHockeyPlayer, 9:13pm: I choose you. Over hockey. Over everything. It’s always been you. I’m sorry we didn’t have more time together. I’m sorry I was so scared. Whatever happens, please try to be okay. For me. Tell my parents I love them. That I hope I made them proud.
    Я люблю тебя больше всего на свете, Илья. Я выбираю тебя.
