Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
Eijun’s life has been intertwined with Kazuya’s longer than it hasn’t. He’s everywhere—in town, at school, in the house across from his, in his brother’s room on a Saturday night. Youichi loves him. His parents love him. Their friends love him.
(Eijun is aware it’s not a competition, but he thinks he loves him most.)

Summary
Hinata is exceptional, and when he praises Tsukishima, it sort of makes him feel like he could be exceptional, too.
