    Summary

    Shane's eyes squeeze closed again. “We had reason to put rules in place. Protocol. If ever—if it got to a place where, if he was ever feeling like he might—"

    Hayden’s body understands before his mind catches up. His blood runs cold for a second, stuck on the scrunch of Shane’s face, the clench of his fist, how desperate he’d been to see Rozanov—Ilya—just now. To make sure that he was okay. Here, in person.

    Not hurt. Alive.

    “Oh,” Hayden hears himself say distantly. “Oh, fuck, Shane.”

    --

    or, Ilya needs a place to go, and Hayden's happens to be the closest. It turns out to be a good thing.

    Summary

    after the plane incident and realizing just how fragile life can be, shane and ilya come out to their teams, with varying levels of success.

    -

    He tries to sit and do a puzzle David had given him for Christmas, but he’s too anxious and agitated to do much more than just the perimeter in the end. Then he tries to eat some lunch, but he doesn’t have much of an appetite, so most of it ends up in the garbage. His stomach is in knots thinking about Shane.

    And then, around two hours after Shane’s last texts, he gets a text from Jackie Pike.

    Jackie: Hey, Ilya! Have you heard from Shane? He’s ignoring Hayden’s calls, and we’re a bit worried.

    Ilya’s brow furrows. Shane’s supposed to be practicing with his shitty team, why is Pike trying to call him? A pit of dread opens up in his stomach at the implications.

    Ilya: I haven’t heard from him since he arrived in Montreal

    Ilya: Did something happen, Jackie?

    Summary

    “Come on,” Comeau says. “Are we all just supposed to pretend it's normal that you’re still playing house with Ilya Rozanov?”

    “Gil—” J.J. says, but Shane doesn’t want him to finish that sentence, to pull Comeau gently off the ledge he’s steering himself toward. Shane wants to push him, kicking and screaming, to make them say it to his fucking face. That after all this time, they still hate him for the heinous crime of falling in love.

    “We’ve been married for two years,” Shane says. “I’m not sure that qualifies as playing house. I mean, it’s longer than you were with your first wife, isn’t it?”

    Or: Shane reunites with his former teammates at J.J.'s bachelor party. He's finally ready to say (and maybe punch) his piece.

    Summary

    Ilya feels Holmberg’s eyes on him, so he meets his gaze. “What?”

     

    “Why don’t you guys have kids?” he asks straight up, and Ilya is caught off-guard by the bluntness of it.
