    Summary

    Ilya pads out of the bedroom, poking his head around the corner. Shane is attempting to take off one of his shoes, balanced on one of his feet and his hand braced on the wall. He still seems to be losing the battle, and Ilya realizes some things in quick succession:

    Something is wrong with Shane.

    Shane is giggling as he fails to take off a shoe.

    Therefore—Shane is drunk.

    Ilya grins.

     

    ~*~*~*~*~*~

    Shane comes home drunk. Ilya loves him.

    Summary

    “I'm not worried about it.”

    “Me neither,” Shane declares. And if that's true, the drugs must be pretty good, because Shane worries about everything.

    (Or: the second time Ilya Rozavov sees Shane Hollander high.)

    Summary

    “Lily,” Hayden says automatically. “You know about Lily?”

    Something flickers across Rozanov’s face. His jaw twitches. “Yes, I know about Lily.” He raises his eyebrows.

    Hayden feels like a complete asshole, all of a sudden. There’s just been too much going on to even think about Shane’s mystery girlfriend. “Shit, I should probably, like, call her, or something? I don’t know this girl at all, but Shane’s been obsessed with her for years. If she was watching the game, she would have seen him get hurt.”

    “You don’t need to call her,” Rozanov says, and when Hayden glances at him, he still looks fucking miserable but now he’s rolling his eyes, a much more familiar expression of disdain on his face. “She’s sitting right here.”
    --
    Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov are waiting for Shane to wake up after he took a bad hit on the ice. They get to talking.

    Summary

    Hayden cuts himself off at the sound of something he hears so rarely, he’s almost sure he’s imagining it. He scans the room, looking for the source, and sure enough, his eyes land on his target. 

    There, nestled in between two of his teammates on the couch, is Shane Hollander. 

    Laughing. Out loud. Audibly. 

    Like, he’s actually fucking laughing, not the fake laughs he forces out to make other people more comfortable. In fact, he’s laughing so hard, he looks like he might cry, and Hayden would be delighted by the sight of it if he weren’t so fucking concerned. Shane Hollander doesn’t laugh at parties. Shane Hollander barely laughs when he’s actually happy, and he’s never happy at parties. So what gives? 

    Or:

    Shane Hollander accidentally gets very high. That's it, that's the fic.

    Summary

    "You see that?"

    "yea," Ilya breathed, and he absolutely did see that. He'd been seeing that for months now, catching glimpses of Shane across campus, in the library, at the campus coffee shop where Shane always ordered the same thing; green tea. Ilya had maybe (definitely) developed what could only be described as a massive fucking crush, not that he'd admit it to anyone.

    "No one," Jake said, drawing out the words like he was making a dramatic announcement, "has ever bagged Hollander. Not once. The guy's basically allergic to giving anyone below his iq level a chance. But you—" he jabbed a finger into Ilya's chest, "—If anyone could do it, it's you."

    Ilya's alcohol-drawned brain was already latching onto the challenge before Jake even finished. "So what is the bet exactly?"

    "One month. You get Hollander to go out with you, really go out with you like proper dating and I'll give you a thousand bucks."

    It was the most idiotic idea he’s ever heard come out of Jake’s mouth (and that's saying a lot), so like any sane person; Ilya should just say no and move on with his life–

    "Deal."
