    Summary

    “Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.

    Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.

    “Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.

     


     

    Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.

    They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

    Summary

    Ilya has no problem being on the same hockey team as Shane Hollander. He has no problem living with him either. Despite the fact that Shane’s a stickler for rules, probably has a stick up his ass, and always looks a little bit tortured when they make eye contact, their lives are far enough removed from each other that a bare minimum of interaction is no problem. No, the problems start later—when Shane starts sleepwalking into Ilya’s bed.

    Summary

    When Shane meets Ilya's gaze, there's a challenge in his eyes. “Simple points system,” he decides. “Score kept by Bood."

    “Great,” Bood sighs, “Now I’m a fucking marriage counselor,” but he’s already uncapping an Expo marker and starting a tally on the top left corner of the whiteboard. HOLLZY VS. ROZ it says, and under it, 0-1.

    Like they're teenagers again, Shane crosses the locker room and extends a hand for Ilya to shake. "May the best husband win."

    -

    Or: Ilya and Shane compete to see who's the better husband.

    Summary

    Ilya died, yes, but then the doctors saved him. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the ambulance, three electric shocks, two emergency surgeries, twenty-six units of blood. Ilya died, but then he came back.

    If only Shane could get his subconscious to understand that.
