    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has a problem. A massive fucking problem.

    A massive fucking problem that comes in the form of the MHL’s second overall draft pick, one Shane Hollander, who ends up going to the Montreal Metros. Ilya is posing beside him, watching him plaster on his PR smile, when he gets a whiff of the Canadian’s scent.

    Cold. Chilled, maybe, perhaps icy like the arenas he plays in. A hint of something spiced and warm. Ginger? It tickles at Ilya’s nose. Something beneath that, fruity and slightly floral. Juicy, refreshing. But lingering around the man is the scent of death and something coppery.

    Summary

    “Drinking?” Ilya asked.

    Shane met Ilya’s eyes and shook his head slightly. “Uh, no. I don’t drink.”

    Ilya blew a raspberry. “Boring.”

    Shane rolled his eyes. “Not really.”

    “Very boring, Hollander. Sex?”

    Shane flushed bright red at that. “W-what?” His eyes were wide, like he’d never heard the word sex before.

    Maybe he hadn’t? Ilya didn’t know much about these Mormon people.

    OR

    Shane and Ilya are roommates playing hockey for Boston College. Ilya is happy to be free from Russia. Shane is a very anxious, stressed, and closeted Mormon boy who is trying to pray the gay away.

    Summary

    Ilya always craved for validation.
    Impersonal, vain, lighthearted validation. So much so, it had him running away to Canada.

    The vastness and anonymity of the internet gave him just what he wanted – Tumblr, a place where being judged was almost unthinkable and getting compliments about his body without much commitment or effort was ridiculously easy.

    But as the bubble he had built for himself in a faraway land burst in the shape of a threat and he accidentally reveals things he'd rather keep hidden, a flash of empathy and freckles on a screen were maybe enough to keep him afloat.

    Or,

    Ilya accidentally posts a vent on his aesthetic Tumblr account, and gets an ask he didn't expect in return from a pretty college student with pretty freckles.

    He didn't expect it to bleed into his real life.
