    Summary

    Shane’s sensible, all-wheel drive, good-in-the-snow car was sitting in the garage when Ilya pulled in.

    Ilya winced.

    There was a reason he’d said no when Shane offered to drive out tonight. It was the same reason Shane had agreed so quickly it was obvious he hadn’t really wanted to come. Since Boxing Day, they’d been stuck in a fight-apologize-make up-go quiet-fight again cycle that was as frustrating as it was heartbreaking. They’d been quiet for a week now, which meant they were just about due for a fight. Ilya wasn’t sure they could survive another fight.

    He winced again when he saw that Shane was still in his car, and had seen the first wince.

    They’d definitely fight now.

    “Sorry,” Shane said as they both exited their cars. “I know we said… I just needed to talk to you tonight and I didn’t want to do this on the phone.”

    Oh.

    Not a fight, then.

    A break up.

    No wonder Shane looked so sad.

    ...

    “Montreal asked me to waive my no trade. They want to send me to LA.”

    Or: There is no dramatic plane landing. There's just Shane and Ilya, choosing each other, even when that means choosing to be apart.
