    Summary

    “Can I ask you something?” Hayden said.

    “Sure?”

    He sighed, turning his head to look at his own wrists. “Did you… Like, did you notice that Shane had bruises on his wrists? Like dark ones?”

    Jackie stopped digging in her dresser to turn and look at Hayden with concern. “Bruises?”

    “Yeah, like wrapped around his wrists.”

    /
    OR

    5 times Hayden was worried that Shane was being physically hurt by Lily, and the 1 time he thoroughly was told he was wrong.

    Summary

    “Hey, can I ask you something?” Hayden said about a month after Shane had told him he was gay.
    “You know how you used to meet up with that mysterious Lily every time we played in Boston?”
    Shane nodded, unsure where this was going
    [...] Hayden paused and swallowed what looked like an ungodly amount of saliva and terror.
    “I think Lily is Ilya Rozanov.”
    Shane was flooded with a mixture of fear and shame, but also relief. He blew out a breath and nodded.
    [...] “I think I need to meet him properly, then.”
    Well, Shane thought, that was unexpectedly mature of Hayden.
    ------
    Or all the missing scenes of how Hayden actually found out (and it's a lot dirtier than you thought)
    ------
    Or the book says that Shane had come out to his teammates but he hadn’t told any of them about Ilya and Hayden had done the math and figured it out... but I ask you now, had he actually? Or had it been a mixture of (bad?) luck and great feminine intuition on his wife's part?

    Summary

    “No,” he says, smiling gently, like he doesn't know how irritating he's being. “Is my room first, da? You should speak with front desk.”

    Hollander stares at him.

    And then he starts to laugh.

    You ask the front desk,” he shoots back, in between his odd wheezes. Ilya's heart starts to pound in double time, because this is not—this cannot be Shane Hollander playing bed chicken with him. Their competitiveness is fierce, to be certain, but surely, Hollander would be the bigger person, no? “This is my fucking room, Rozanov. Wild horses couldn't drag me away.”

    OR: Ilya's apartment is under construction. Shane's in town for a game. It'd be a shame if they somehow had the same hotel room.

    [or, or: we need some more goddamn 'there was only one bed' out here.]

    Summary

    “Can I fuck you with your suit on?”

     

    Um. What?

     

    Peter raises his eyebrows, expecting some kind of follow-up stating that he’s joking.

     

    “Did you hear me? I wanna fuck you with your suit on.”

     

    Oh.

    Summary

    Shane reads the headline, and his world comes to a halt:

    JUNIOR HOCKEY COACH LAPIERRE ARRESTED FOR CHILD ABUSE IMAGE POSSESSION

    OR: Shane buried what happened with his old coach somewhere deep inside himself. He never planned to unearth it. Now, the press, the police, and the prying eyes of his teammates seem determined to dig it all up.

    He doesn’t think he can handle the mess.
