    Summary

    He wasn’t ready for this.

    Maybe he never would have been, not in two, or five, or ten years. Maybe he would have spent the rest of his life holding this secret inside, not telling a single soul about the way his heart beats for his biggest rival. Or maybe, in a year or ten or once he’s retired, he might have come out publicly. Might have shared his truth with the world.

    But that was supposed to be his choice. To tell or not to tell, to hide in the shade or step out into the sunshine. It was supposed to be his decision, and now it’s been taken from him.

    Summary

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.

    Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

    Summary

    “Hollander?!” Rozanov exclaims, carefully dropping him back down.

    Shane doubles over, gasping and wheezing, hands clutching his ribs for dear life.

    “You’re fucking hurt,” Rozanov realizes, wide-eyed.

    Summary

    Shane stands in the elevator, pulse beating in his ears that are stained red from embarrassment. He stares down at the text, a million thoughts racing through his head.

    We didn’t even kiss.

    He wants to hit send, but he knows better. He knows that telling Rozanov this will not get him anywhere. He won’t get what he wants. He isn’t even really sure what he wants right now.
    Six months of silence. Six months of absolutely nothing. He should have never walked into that bathroom at the award ceremony. He should have sat down in his seat in the audience and just let it be.
    Why can he never let things be?
    Shane hits send without thinking.

    ______________________

     

    After the Major League Hockey Award show in Vegas, Shane hits send on the 'we didn't even kiss' texts rather than deleting it. It turns out better than he could have hoped for, and he gets the aftercare he deserves.

    Episode 2 Las Vegas fix-it fic.
