    Summary

    Ilya returned to the bedroom with tea and toast balanced on a tray, catching the tail end of a phone call.

    "—fine, Mom. Don't worry. It's just a sore throat…"

    "No, I don't need anything, Ilya's just brought up breakfast…"

    "He's alright, we've got an appointment with Dr. Tricia this afternoon for his cough…"

    "No, Mom, I don't need one booked for myself, I'm fine — alright, alright, I'll see if I can get myself in with him." He huffed, then let his shoulders drop. "Love you too, Mom."

    "Love to you and David," Ilya hollered, voice ragged. "Give Anya a kiss from us."

    Shane put the call on speaker so Ilya could hear Yuna's reply — "We love you, Ilya. Anya loves you too" — before they hung up. Ilya looked thoroughly pleased with his contribution to the call, while Shane scrubbed a hand down his face, clearly less thrilled. He typed something furious into his phone for a minute before dropping it onto the bed and covering his eyes with one hand.

    "Looks like we've both got appointments with Dr. Tricia this afternoon."

    Summary

    Henry and Alex are flying home at last after a grueling promotional tour. Alex wants nothing more than to let his exhausted body catch a few hours sleep on the plane but can’t help but notice how quiet Henry is.

    Too quiet.

    Summary

    Ilya made his way over to the kitchen to find Shane hunched over the counter, his elbows propping up his own weight. He stopped short, surprised. It was 9:40 on a game day, and Shane hadn't even started his smoothie yet.

    "Are you alright, malysh?"

    Shane straightened, wincing. "I'm cramping a little."

    Ilya frowned. "Where? Did you pull a muscle at practice yesterday?"

    "No, it's not a muscle. It's just my stomach." Shane pressed experimentally around his abdomen. "Maybe it's something I ate. It's not too bad, Ilya, I promise."

    Ilya filled a glass of water and brought it over, watching as Shane drank slowly, one hand settling warm and flat between his shoulder blades. "Are you sure? We have a game tonight."

    Shane huffed a laugh. "I'm sure. I'll be okay to play — it's not even that bad. Maybe I'll do some extra stretches with my yoga and see if that helps."

    Yoga did not help. Not even a little bit.

    Summary

    Henry insists he can tolerate the cold, despite the lingering tickle in his throat and chest. Alex tried to warn him but Henry doesn’t listen because he is so important and has duties and optics DO matter after all and….

    Oh.

    Perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea after all.
