    Summary

    To be clear, Ilya is grateful the rookies aren’t growing up the way he did in the NHL. Ilya took the hazing to the chin – humiliation rituals, beat downs, grueling practices to prove he could “hang” with the big guns on the team.

    That being said, there’s still some part of Ilya that balks at the request by the gaggle of rookies to watch The Iron Giant, a veritable children’s movie at the team’s latest movie night.

    OR: Five times Shane and Ilya were the support system for the Centaur rookies they dreamed of having when they were younger.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I cannot get him pregnant,” Ilya answers. “I’ve tried really hard, but his birth control is too strong.”

    The last word comes out like a wheeze as Shane elbows Ilya so hard in the gut he doubles over gasping.

    Summary

    It was difficult to wrap her head around the idea that Rozanov—Ilya—missed his team flight to drive five hours seemingly for the sole purpose of bringing Yuna the largest bouquet of carnations she had ever seen, but if there was another explanation, it was beyond her.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Perhaps that was why Ilya looked so at home in their living room—a small part of him had been there all along.

    Summary

    “I do not want to make you uncomfortable. With how I talk about us. To others. Like . . . reporters. Or how I treat you in front of others, like the guys on the team.”

    Something like understanding settled on Shane’s face now, and it immediately made Ilya’s heart stop racing. “You think I don’t like PDA.”

    “First time I held your hand in public I thought you were going to have a panic attack,” Ilya admitted.

    --

    Or: Shane's first season on the Ottawa Centaurs, as told through five times Ilya initiated PDA (and one time Shane did).

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Maybe I’m turning over a new leaf,” Shane said, dryly.

    “Don’t turn over new leaves,” Ilya said. He could admit his tone was a bit whiny. “I like your leaves. I married your leaves.”

    Summary

    “I told you. Hollander and I, we are in love. He is my hockey player.” Ilya wiggled his eyebrows at the joke, but couldn’t keep himself from watching Scott Hunter.
    “Sure, Roz. You and Hollander are in love, want to get married, spend the rest of your lives playing hockey together.” When Ilya didn’t immediately reply to that very accurate statement, Hunter continued: “If you two are in love, I’m straight. That’s how likely that is.” He had laughed and skated away, though Ilya really hadn’t understood what was supposed to be funny about that.
    Standing alone on the ice, the crowd slowly filing out of the rink, Ilya was faced with a startling realization: telling people may be harder than he thought.
    or
    What if Shane gave Ilya permission to soft launch their relationship. Ilya is, of course, thrilled and immediately starts telling everyone around him. Problem is, no one believes him!

    “Hollander, man. Great to see you. Sorry to be interrupting your camp planning, but this is an important team matter.”

    Summary

    The moment Ilya slips the wedding band onto Shane’s finger, it feels like the world goes quiet for the first time in his life.

    Peaceful in a way Shane has never known.

    They’re married. Husbands.

    And Shane is excited for all of the firsts that lie ahead of them as a married couple.
