    Summary

    The silence he could practically feel settling over Shane as they turned down the cottage’s long private lane felt unfamiliar to Ilya but, he reasoned with himself as he let his eyes wander from Shane’s handsome face to his strong bare forearms to his lovely hands, that wasn’t really surprising. For all that the long, sleek lines of Shane’s body were as familiar and dear to him as anything else in the world, for all that he knew the sound of his breathing in exertion and arousal and rest, he had yet to learn what Shane’s quiet moods meant when there was nothing left unsaid between them. And this week, by some miracle, they had managed to say it all.

    Well, thought Ilya, almost. But they had time for that, too.

    Summary

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.

    Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

    Summary

    “What are you wearing?” Ilya asks, his voice sounding strangled. 

    Shane looks down, confused. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing? I always–”

    “Why are you wearing your glasses?” Ilya interrupts, and Shane notices the tension in his entire body when he speaks. 

    “I ran out of contacts,” Shane says. 

    “So you are wearing glasses to practice?”

    “Yeah, it’s just one practice,” he says defensively, even though he’s done nothing wrong. “I’ll grab a pair of contacts from the eye doctor this afternoon."

    “Right,” Ilya says, his eyes laser-focused on Shane’s face as his lips set in a tight line. 

    “Is that a problem?” Shane quips, and it comes off kind of bitchy, but he’s so confused as to why Ilya would have any issue with him wearing his glasses to one practice. He normally loves Shane in glasses. 

    Ilya seems to shake himself out of whatever weird-ass mood he’d fall into. He smiles, but it looks strained. “Of course not. Let’s go.” 

    ___

    Or, Shane has to wear his glasses to practice and Ilya absolutely cannot deal with it.
