    Summary

    “I know Ilya, I’m trying.” Shane tries to hide his exhaustion from his tone.

    “Could try harder, no?” Ilya raises an eyebrow.  

    “I get it, okay?” Shane pushes back, letting his enervation show this time. “I’m trying, but it’s hard. I guess I just need something that sticks. Something to hold me accountable. Consequences.”

    “I can help, with consequences.” Ilya shrugs easily, his voice free from any inclination of teasing. 

    “What, you wanna punish me?” Shane smiles, raising his eyebrows and pulls Ilya’s hand from his thigh up to his mouth to kiss it. “Spank me every time I people please?” 

    Shane can’t help but to chuckle at himself.
     
    “Would that help you?” Ilya’s voice is flat and serious. 
    .
    .
    .
    Or Shane jokes about needing consequences to motivate him to stop people pleasing. Ilya takes him seriously and offers to help.

    Summary

    Shane grinned as he pulled up to his Montreal home to see a familiar orange Porsche 718 Cayman sitting in the driveway. Ilya was already here. It had been an exhausting day filled with an endorsement shoot, a live local news spot, and the last team practice before the bye week. He slammed his Jeep into park and practically landed flat on his face in his haste to get out of the car. The moment he shoved the front door open, he found himself pressed into the entranceway wall with a mouth devouring his own.

    When they finally parted, Shane was completely breathless and grinning deviously, “Hello to you, too.”

    “You’re a fucking brat,” Ilya practically snarled, gripping Shane’s chin tightly in one hand while the other kept Shane’s hips pinned to the wall.

    Or Shane knows exactly how to push Ilya's buttons to get exactly what he has been craving after two weeks apart.

    Summary

    Shane waits for Ilya’s arm to curl around his waist, for the familiar weight of his body to press in close and ground him again.

    Except it never comes.

    He was gone. Ilya left.

    Summary

    That girl at the club meant nothing. Shane drunk-texting Ilya at 2 AM means everything.

    or

    Summary

    “Sorry, babe,” Keith says. He even smiles, no doubt proud of himself.

    And Lance knows it’s his fault. He started it, after all, but at least the biting term of endearment made sense when he was the one doing it. Keith had been talking to him like they were some old married couple. The kind who’ve been married too long and don’t love each other anymore and gripe over meaningless shit, only managing to piss each other off even further.

    That’s why Lance called him dear. Because it made sense in the situation. It was a calculated insult. A strategic jab.

    Keith, on the other hand, is weaponizing the term of endearment without any rhyme or reason, simply to get back at Lance.

    Or: Keith and Lance have gotten into the habit of using pet names as condescending insults. They're not really terms of endearment.
