Summary
They exchanged an uncomfortable glance before they set off walking into the building. Buck and Eddie moved in a silence that was only briefly broken when Buck gave his name to the hostess, who navigated them through the main dining area to a quiet table by the window.
It was incredibly romantic; candles lit, muted jazz lilting through the speakers. It should have been perfect.
The only problem was, Buck didn’t know what to say. Buck. Evan Buckley couldn’t think of a single thing to say. To Eddie!

Summary
“So,” Ilya says, dragging the word out. He’s swiping at non-existent crumbs on the counter, avoiding his eyes. “You have dinner at parents on Christmas, yes?”
“Yeah.”
Ilya nods. “I can house-sit while you are away. Make place pretty, if you have decorations. Make it less boring.”
Shane’s eyebrows fly up. “What? You don’t want to come with?”
Finally, Ilya looks up at him. Hesitantly, he asks, “You want me to come with?”
Frowning, Shane says, “I– yeah. Yeah, of course. You think I invited you here just so you could spend Christmas alone?”
Looking away, Ilya shrugs. “I am intruder here, Hollander. You have family. I do not. Makes situation… difficult, maybe. You forget the world thinks we are rivals.”
“Not difficult,” Shane says immediately. “You want to come, you’re coming.”
Or: Ilya's in Montreal alone during the week leading up to the Winter Classic. Shane doesn't let him spend Christmas alone.

Summary
“You’ve been running,” Buck observes.
Buck doesn't stand so Eddie collapses next to him.
“Without me.”
He manages to sound both offended and worried.
“Without music,” Buck adds, alarmed now.
Eddie sighs.
“I’m fine, Buck.”
“You know who runs without music? People plotting elaborate revenge plans, people in film montages, people who are psychopaths, and people who are not fine.”
(Or: the universe gives Eddie a cat and he learns to accept joy into his life again)

Summary
Eddie Diaz does not get sick. At worst he experiences mild allergies from time to time. So when he wakes up with a scratchy throat and a pounding headache, he does what any reasonable person would do: he doesn't mention it and he goes to work.
