    Summary

    Shane goes to a party. He meets a girl. He's meant to like girls.

    (He only really likes Ilya Rozanov.)

    “Why are you telling me this?” Rozanov said. “You never talk about girls. I never hear these things about you.”

    “I’m -“ Fuck. Shane was trying to explain. Rozanov used this moment to push deeper into Shane. How was he meant to be able to think now? 

    “You fucked her?” Rozanov said. “She did something different when you fucked and -“

    “No. You fucked her,” Shane snapped. “Or at least …” He trailed off, struck dumb by the look on Rozanov’s face. He looked…happy? Delighted? He wasn’t smiling, exactly, but his eyes were dancing. 

    “We fucked same girl,” Rozanov said, carefully. “This is…Wow, Hollander.”

    “No, um, I didn’t fuck her. Just made out or whatever. But she told me - Jesus - she told me she had hooked up with you before. It was…i don’t know. Wait, what are you doing?”

    Summary

    The universe had decided Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov were perfect for each other, so it sent them an unmistakable sign. Unfortunately, the two of them have a lot of practice in mistaking things. So the universe tries again, and again.

    Or: how many soulmate tropes does it take to get two oblivious hockey boys together?

    “Dude, did you get a tattoo?”
    Shane looked over. Shelly, who had the stall next to his at the CN Sports Complex locker room, was staring at Shane’s left arm.
    “Uh, no?”
    “What the fuck is it, then? Looks gnarly as hell.”
    Shane looked down at the dark squiggly shape on his delt, an irregular blob slightly bigger than a loonie. Its edges were a series of indentations and protrusions, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle piece. If he’d seen this on anyone else, he would’ve assumed it was a tattoo, too. A shitty one that should be lasered off ASAP.
    “I don’t know,” he said. “It kinda showed up out of nowhere, like, last night.”

    Summary

    Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.

    So. Not stealing.

    But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?

    Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.

    Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.

    Summary

    “How much longer?”

    “I don’t know, probably like fifteen minutes?” he can hear Shane shrug through the phone.

    “Hmm. . .” Ilya looks at Shane’s location where he’s watching him inch closer to their house on the map. “Phone says thirteen.”

    “Are you watching my location?” Shane laughs from where he’s talking to Ilya through the screen in his car.

    “Mmm, yes. I’ve been so miserable without my husband. I want you home.” he groans. “Now, preferably.” he adds and Shane huffs a laugh.

    (ie. shane is on the way home from a work trip and talks to ilya the whole way home until they're finally reunited (plus a little glimpse into the future))
