Summary
Being a professional athlete in a contact sport is an exercise in enduring pain. Sometimes you get benched for three weeks because you have a broken cheekbone after you get hit in the face with a slap shot. Sometimes you play through a strained quad, a bruised shoulder, a mild fever. Most times, it’s just the constant, unending soreness that comes with pushing your body to its limit every single day. Every athlete had an injury they hated most, though, one that’s particularly painful or recurrent or just annoying.
Ilya fucking hated injuring his ribs. There is almost nothing you can do with your body that doesn't involve moving your torso, and the pain is deep, throbbing, and gets just a tiny bit worse every time you breathe. Sitting up hurts, lying down hurts, walking hurts, and worst of all, coughing fucking hurts.

Ilya is sick and injured in the off-season. Luckily, Shane loves him so very much and is there to take care of him.

Summary
It is possible that Shane has miscalculated.
The Montreal Metros are down bad – not in points, thank god, but definitely in players currently able to breathe through their nose.
Shane is pretty confident it started with Hayden sniffling last week, but he’s too loyal a friend to bring that up, especially now that half the team is down with whatever cursed germs have entered their locker-room and decimated their starting line-up.
Still, Shane was very confident. Shane eats well and exercises regularly. His body is finely honed. He is a professional athlete. He would not, he repeatedly assured everyone in his life, get sick.
It is possible that science has failed him.

Summary
Shane watches helplessly as Ilya is sent headfirst into the boards, spine twisting, skates lifting off the ice as his body folds under the force. The sound of impact is thunderous and wrong - echoing - louder than the crowd, louder than the goal horn, louder than the pounding of his heart against his chest, as Ilya’s body finally crumples into the ice.
Ilya had no time to brace, Shane knows he had no time to brace because Shane had no time to brace.
And he’s not moving.
“Ilya!”
