Summary
Ottawa, 2010.
Canada wins the championship, and Shane slips away from the overwhelming celebration for some peace and quiet.
Russia loses, and Ilya runs from his father’s furious disappointment to have a panic attack in the stairwell.
Neither boy is really looking for company, but for a tentative few hours in the middle of the night, they find solace, acceptance and a first kiss, first time prelude to something heated and risky in each other’s arms.

Ilya leaned in with lips pursed and Shane jerked away, “Whoa! What the hell are you doing?”
“You do not want kiss?” Ilya frowned. “You stare at my mouth all night, same as after draft. I thought you wanted kiss.”
“No.” Shane’s eyes were wide. “That’s insane.”
“Okay.” Ilya stood up, hiding how bad the rejection hurt. “I misunderstand. Sorry. Do not worry, I will not say anything about–”
“Wait.” Shane’s grabbed Rozanov’s arm at the last second, gathering all his courage, “Y-yes.”
“Yes.” Ilya repeated. “What is yes?”
“I mean yes.” Shane pulled him back in slowly, carefully, his heart racing. “Kiss me?”
