Summary
“Shane, look at me.” Another hand on his shoulder, the voice he knew. His frantic eyes darted around until he landed on— Hayden. Something loosened in Shane’s chest. Hayden was here. Hayden knew about Ilya, knew about the bond with Ilya.
“Ilya?” Shane tried again, and Hayden swallowed.
“Ilya is okay.” Hayden said, but it felt like a lie. Shane wouldn’t feel like his insides had been scooped out if Ilya was okay. “He’s hurt, but he’s okay. They’re getting out stretchers for you both now.”

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?

Bookmarker's Notes
“I kind of want to tell you how I really feel, but I think you would recognize the words if I did, and I suspect that you’re listening in, trying to hear them. Maybe that’s just delusional hope, though. But yeah. That’s right. I’m hoping that you’re listening to me with your eyes closed, and praying that you hear the only French words that everybody knows. How many words do you recognize, Ilya?” Shane saw his eyelashes flutter, but he didn’t open them. “Would you recognize the word 'oui '? ‘Non?’ Or, I don’t know, ‘je m'appelle… Shane?’ Okay, what about ‘baguette?’”
Ilya laughed, shoulders shaking in Shane’s lap. “What are you saying?” he muttered, brow furrowing, and Shane smiled helplessly, happy he had guessed correctly.
“I knew it, you eavesdropper,” he said, pulling on Ilya’s curls gently. “I think I know what you want to hear. Mon ami? Not quite. Mon chéri? That’s a little closer. In Canada, maybe I would call you mon chum, but I never liked that. Ma blonde? Non, but it does fit you. I know what you want to hear, Ilya.” He leaned down, his body curled over Ilya’s like he could shield him from the world they lived in, and the decision they were about to make. “Mon amour.”
Ilya opened his eyes. Shane grinned.

Summary
Ilya doesn't expect to laugh when he steps into the small room Shane is being held in after his minor procedure, but it's what happens. Because Shane is staring sleepily at his arms as the nurse removes the IV, a cute smile on his lips as he tells her, "Y'know, he quit smoking for me."

Summary
He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.
He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.
Shane is making space for Ilya.

Bookmarker's Notes
He starts a lazy pace back towards the bed, towards Ilya, “I should have never left it out.”
“Thank god you did. I was sitting here getting frozen cold,” Ilya lilts, holding two sides of the blankets and criss-crossing it extra tight across his chest, clearly for unnecessary dramatic effect. “Hours I wait for you. Seriously, Hollander, you finish everything quick but shower.”-
“I can write a note,” Ilya gets back up, crowding Shane’s space by the desk again as he reaches around him for a pen. Totally unnecessary to press his entire front into Shane’s with the motion, but okay, sure. Shane white-knuckles the ledge of the desk behind him to keep from giving in to proximity. “I will say, so sorry we broke your ugly lamp. Apparently I, Ilya Rozanov, have kissed Shane Hollander too—”
-
“Ah, so when I yawn at you, it is compliment.”
“What?” Shane’s incredulous laughter sputters.
“Clearly, I want to be awake to hear every single boring thing you have to say so badly even my body knows it,” Ilya states, as if this were obvious, “Wakes me up on reflex so I do not miss you.”-
“Because you wouldn’t have painted them bright blue. They’d be brown,” Shane smiles, “Is brown seriously your favorite color?”
Ilya fiddles with the string of his hoodie between his teeth, looking—embarrassed? That’s new. And adorable. He tries to pull the hood tighter, like he can shrink into it.
“Is new thing, wasn’t always,” Ilya says, by way of explanation. “Shut up.”+
“I’m just surprised, I genuinely thought you only said that as a way to tease me,” Shane murmurs, unable to keep the fondness out of his voice, “That’s a very me answer.”
“You have no idea.”-
Shane: You want pets?
Lily: Impossible with schedule but I would love.
Shane: You know now that I think about it, you’re right. You look like the father of a really fucking annoying chihuahua. I don’t know how I didn’t see it sooner.//the fucking image just sent me into giggles omg
-
Shane: I guess instead of talking to you now I’ll have to go back to my regularly scheduled programming of just thinking about you all the time instead.
Lily: All the time?
Shane: All the time. -

Bookmarker's Notes
Shane refuses to let him lift his head up and see him. Ilya tries anyway. Shane almost hisses at him, and it takes Ilya but a moment to sink his teeth back into the imprint of them he’d left on his scent gland years ago. Shane gasps, but the bone-deep ache that’s been following him finally fades away as Ilya licks over the mark.
“Shh,” Ilya croons as he swipes his tongue over the little blood that seeps out. It’s nothing that’ll hurt Shane, but an alpha’s canines usually do wonders to satiate that bond flowing between them. Ilya knows it because of course he does. Not the first time he’s done it.-
“Can I hold your dick while you pee?” Ilya suggests, completely serious as he joins Shane on his feet.
//i JUST read a fic where side character person C was upset person D wouldn't hold their dick while they peed .... omg ilya you're a tried and true freak!!! ilysm!!
-
“Fine! Fine. I’ll nest with your Papa’s stuff. You’re so demanding, by the way,” Shane rolls his eyes, fond. His hand remains against his bump that peeks from under his shirt as he walks. “Just like him. I can see the resemblance.”
