    Summary

    “So, your dad’s kind of… intense.”

    Ilya glanced at Sveta. They were behind the school, savouring the hour Ilya had between classes and hockey practice, both sipping on the chocolate milk their school had supplied during lunch.

    “Does he ever, I don’t know, hug you?” Sveta asked, and Ilya hated how she looked at him. Almost like she felt sorry for him.

    “Sure he does,” Ilya said, shrugging. “When I win at hockey, I guess.”

    “And Alyosha?”

    Ilya had to actually think about this one. And he felt uneasy when he realised that no, he’d never quite seen Grigori hug Alexei. “He’s not very good at hockey,” Ilya said, disliking how meek he sounded.

    Or: Being queer in Russia, Grigori Rozanov's awful parenting, and Ilya's struggle to survive it.
