Summary
In room 1410, Ilya Rozanov is ready to walk out the door after successfully getting his teenage hockey rival into bed. He knows what to do to make this happen and he knows what they have to be to each other now that it's over. But as he turns the doorknob to leave, he's stopped with questions he never expected. And giving Hollander what he needs in that moment will change everything.
Author's notes: I’m autistic and see a lot of myself in Shane Hollander. So I thought, in this situation, what if he did exactly what I did the first time I hooked up with someone and didn’t know what the protocol was after it was over, what the next steps were, how to be like everyone else in a moment that felt amazing and confusing at the same time. What if he just asked?
Canon divergent from the first hookup seen in HR s01ep01. Some things are from the show - aged up Marleau and Hunter, mainly - but the timeline is a mix of both. (Notably, they don't wait *two years*, they stick to the book timeline. IYKYK.) Some tags are for later chapters. I post a few times a week, and think it'll be about 30 chapters total but I'll update the total count if that changes. Please comment if you feel I'm missing any tags!

Summary
“Are you in love with me?”
“Please,” Buck whispers, the plea cracking in his throat as he fights against the urge to collapse against Eddie and sob. “Please don’t ask me that.”
“It’s a little late for that, Buck,” Eddie says, his free hand returning to Buck’s cheek, swiping away another tear with heartbreaking gentleness. “Please. Just answer.”
“It doesn’t matter if I am. I’m— I’m outta dicks, Eddie. I’m out of excuses.”
Eddie blinks at him, fingers freezing. “What?”
“I— This is the last one. I-I don’t have any more.” Humiliation burns a path up his neck, heating his cheeks.
Frowning, Eddie asks, “... Are they single-use? What the hell am I missing here?”
“N-No. I— I wash them. I’m very hygienic. Y-You have to keep them clean so they last a long time, b-but sometimes people buy new ones for new partners, I guess. I just— I’ve only used most of them on me. A-And you, now.”
“Buck?”
Voice weak, he answers, “Yeah?
“Are you in love with me?”
OR: After exploring Buck’s entire strap collection, things get a little messy.

Summary
"Eddie!" Buck barges into Eddie's house with his strawberries and honey and burning need to understand what the fuck just happened. "Why have you been telling everyone at the farmer's market you're gay and have a husband??!"
"Uh, cause I haven't?" Eddie says, looking confused, mug halfway to his mouth.
"Then why does everyone at the farmer's market think you're gay and happily married?" Buck exclaims. "Gayly!"
or
Everyone at the farmer's market thinks Eddie is gay and married, and Buck has no fucking clue how they got that idea.

Summary
“Is it your wedding day?”
Shane sputters. “Sorry?”
“The tuxedo,” she points out. “You look like you just got married.”
“Oh,” Shane says dumbly, glancing down at his rumpled suit. “No,” he adds.

Or the one where that one night in Vegas gets a little out of hand for Ilya and Shane and a marriage by accident could turn into one of convenience. And maybe, something more.- Language:
