    Summary

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.

    Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

    Summary

    "Hayden blinks. “You… you know. Your post last night. I hope I didn’t make you feel like you couldn’t tell me. I mean, I-I was always trying to set you up with Jackie’s friends, you could’ve told me then.” The pain in Hayden’s voice is palpable, but Shane can’t seem to care. Panic is slowly bubbling in his stomach. He feels his face drain of color.
    “I-I posted something last night?” He whispers.
    Hayden’s eyes widen, and he turns, if possible, even paler. “You… don’t remember?”"

     

    Or:

    Shane accidentally comes out publicly while blackout drunk. Ilya comforts him and confessions ensue. Shortly after, Shane starts getting hit on by men everywhere. Online, by fans, even by the goddamn paparazzi. Ilya hates it.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has spent ten years circling Shane Hollander. Ten years of hotel rooms and secret phone calls. Ten years of pretending he doesn't feel it, doesn't need it, doesn't wake up reaching for someone who's already gone. Ten years convincing himself he's not good enough. That he's not worth it.

    Then a plane needs to make an emergency landing near Montreal, and Yuna Hollander is on it.

    So when Shane calls him from a bathroom floor, unable to breathe, Ilya stops pretending.

    After five hundred miles of frozen highway, three and a half hours of driving like a man possessed, a hospital waiting room full of people who have every reason to hate him, and a boy who looks at him like he's something worth keeping, Ilya may have learned a thing or two about what it means to be loved—and to let himself love freely.

    Summary

    “Is this one from hockey?” he asks softly. Beneath him, Ilya exhales lightly.

    “No.”

    “What’s it from?”

    “A belt,” Ilya replies casually, as if the word doesn’t make Shane’s whole body go still for a moment, his muscles tensing to hold him frozen.
