    Summary

    Shane turns off the light and curls up on his side, leaning against a pillow. He turns his phone brightness down so it won’t sting his eyes, his face barely illuminated for Ilya to see in the darkness.

    Ilya doesn’t cut off his own lights, just hums appreciatively into the phone, “Is nice, I see your freckles this way.”

    “You won’t have time to see them on Thursday because I’ll be skating too fast for you to catch up.”

    Ilya smiles, “So mean to me, I tell you you are beautiful and you tell me to die.”

    (the first six months of being boyfriends)

    Summary

    When Shane trudges through the door of his apartment, late from practice, hair still wet from the showers, shedding his bag off with a huff, and dropping to his knees in front of Ilya with a muttered, “please be, like, so fucking mean to me,” Ilya is given pause.

    Or: Shane can be as frustrated as he wants, but he's just too good to brat.

    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    Summary

    And so the text remains, in his phone, in his pocket, unsent and unsaid while Shane bangs his head on the elevator wall in deep contemplation of the brush of Rozanov’s lips against his, the snake of Rozanov’s tongue past his teeth. The very particular and divine experience of Rozanov’s escalation of that trademark mode of sultry suction that pushes past not only the flushed bloom of Shane’s lips but also apparently beyond all of his defenses because -

    Hell. Fucking absolute hell. 

    Shane might be starting to like him.

    Okay, well - this is unexpected, unanticipated, entirely unplanned for - and therefore, Shane’s nipping  that one down in the bud.

    He squares the slope of his shoulders as the elevator comes to a stop on the eighth floor, and the doors open…

    …to reveal a very tousled, slightly out of breath, and beautifully flushed Ilya Rozanov, as if Shane summoned him here via his own dastardly brain matter. He looks the same as when Shane left him save for the fact that he’s replaced the damp towel around his hips with a pair of slacks and the white formal shirt he’d been sporting when Shane initially walked in. 

    The buttons on both are undone.
