“Why are we coming to her house?” Ilya complains as he gets out of the uber
Shane rolled his eyes “I told you, she couldn’t make it to the restaurant and invited us for lunch”
“I don’t know, seems very intimate” Ilya complains “Why should it be on her home ice?”
“This is not hockey, this is lunch” Shane says curtly
“Seems like you’re doing a lot of an ex girlfriend” Ilya says “What will people say?”
“I don’t know," Shane says, starting to get annoyed "maybe they’ll start a rumor that she’s dating you now”
“No” Ilya says shaking his head “I don’t date puck bunnies”
“Don’t call her that!” Shane says quickly “besides, I’ve seen you with known puck bunnies”
“Elisha Cuthbert is just a friend”
“And so is Rose!”
“Fine"
They ring and Rose opens the door wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants and Shane ignores how Ilya looks down at her judginly.
“Honey!” Rose exclaims as she runs forward and gives a quick peck to Shane's lips and hugs him “I missed you baby” she says as she hangs from him
Shane can feel the anger radiating off of Ilya.
“Hi Rose” he says hugging her back, she always did give the best hugs
They pulled away from each other, Rose looking at Shane so fondly
“Rose, this is Ilya” Shane says taking a step back and turning to Ilya, who is standing stone faced, glasses on, both hand sin his pockets.
She moves to hug him and he pulls out his hand
"Hi” he says curtly, which reminded Shane of the first time he had met him
Rose laughs uncomfortably and shakes his hand
"I'm such a huge fan!" she says
"Yes" Ilya says taking his hand back
She looks awkwardly between them and then turns to Ilya
"You're gorgeous!" she says quickly turning to Shane "So much hotter in person"
"He is!" Shane suggests, trying to ease the tension
"You know I always say that you should have gotten hottest guy on the NHL”
“No” Ilya says “Shane is hottest”
“Of course!” She says “We love our Shane”
“Our Shane” Ilya whispers angrily into Shanes ear and Shane blows him off
“So, how is your movie” Shane asks, ingoring Ilya
“No kidnapping this time, thank god! but, my co-lead is a bit of an asshole, maybe the botox has gone to his head”
“Maybe” Shane says awkwardly
“But, let's talk inside," she says taking a step to the side "come in!”
They walk into the spacious LA house, there is a a table in the entrance with a large flower display.
Ilya walks around looking at the roof and leans down to smell the flowers.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t make it downtown but I did order food for us” she says as she walks towards the living room
“The flowers are fake” Ilya whispers to Shane
“Shut up” Shane snaps back at him
They follow Rose to her living room where there is a huge sushi boat.
“I know it’s a bit over the top but it’s from the best sushi place in LA”
“This is great, Rose!” Shane says sitting down
Ilya looks down and sits “no brown rice?”
“Oh,” Rose says taking a seat “I just thought that with fish-“
“It’s fine” Shane says, staring daggers at Ilya who is looking at Rose with a curt smile
“Anyways, I’ll get us something to drink” Rose says standing up “Ilya, what do you drink?”
“Water is fine” Ilya says
Rose makes her way to her kitchen and comes back with Lacroix for herself, water for Ilya and a ginger ale for Shane.
“Schweppes” Ilya scoffs “you prefer Canada Dry”
“Can you behave?” Shane turns to Ilya
He shrugs like he is innocent
They get to eating, Ilya is annoyingly silent while Shane and Rose talk about her new movie and Shane tells Rose about their charity.
Once the sushi boat is done, Rose leans back
“So, as to why I couldn’t make the reservation” Rose says happily “I have a thing tonight, a party”
“Oh...” Shane says
“Would you like to come?” Rose says perking up “As my date”
Ilya and Shane look at each other
“Both of us?” Shane asks
“Yes, of course”
Ilya is starting to perk up, Shane had told Rose that he loved attention and getting his picture taken but, Ilya looks down at his t-shirt and jeans and goes back into his no-friends demenour
“We cannot go, I have nothing to wear” Ilya says in the monotone voice that has been driving Shane insane all day
Then, Rose perks up
“That’s why I planned for this” she says smiling as she stand up “Gentlemen, will you please follow me to my room”
“Wow, that was quick” Ilya quips at Shane and he shoulders his ribs, making his push out a grunt.
They follow Rose up her steps to her room where she opens the door to a huge room, to the side there is a hanging rack with tons of dresses, pants, shirts and to the other side there is a changing room, Shane figures this is where Rose invites her stylist for a fitting.
Rose runs to the hangers and un-hooks two shirts, one is sheer black gauze oversize button up with golden lines running down, the fabric moves so beautifully it shimmers from black to gold, the other is a sleeveless silk satin white shirt with a textured neck.
“I know It’s not my place but, I know your arms are incredible and I think you would look amazing with something showing them off” Rose says to Ilya
Ilya is mesmerised by the shirts, he seems almost giddy, he looks at Shane like a little kid and then at Rose
“Rose Landry, these are amazing”
“Well, I bought them for you, duh!”
Ilya looks down at the shirts and then at Rose with a huge smile
"Go try them on!” She says and Ilya nods and starts heading towards Rose's changing
"Oh, Ilya," Rose sing-songs
"Yes" Ilya says peeking from his changing room
"Would you like some champagne?"
“Rose Landry” he says rolling his eyes “do not ask stupid questions”
Rose laughs and head to the mini fridge
"Shane?" She offers
"Sure, why not" Shane says
Rose does her giddy smile and heads to her closet to take out a chilled bottle of champagne and serves three flutes, then she hold up a remote and starts playing music
“What are you trying on?” comes Ilya’s voice from inside the dressing room
“Oh!” Rose says, noticing she’s still in her joggers and t-shirt “I have like 5 dress options that you guys have to give me an opinion on”
Shane laughs and leans back on the couch at the back of Rose’s closet and takes a seat, enjoying his champagne. He knows he's going to be here for a while while his boyfriend and his best friend try out the whole damn closet. He leans back listening to the song playing from the speakers and enjoying his favourite people getting along as he drink s champagne.
Rose head into another changing room on the other side of the closet-room
“Rose Landry!" Ilya yells from his side “I need pants”
“Oh yeah,” Rose yells back “I hung some velvet pant on a hanger to your right”
Silence
“Got them”
Ilya comes out from his changing room and Shanes jaw drops to the floor. The pants are tight velvet that bell out in the knee, 70’s style, but, they are high cut, hugging Ilya's quads and waist up to the sheer black and gold shirt that billows from his waist. The fabric is opaque enough to be classy but, sheer enough to give Shane a peek to his pink nipples which is driving him a little insane.
Shane is about to drop to his knees when Rose comes out of her side
She's wearing a low cut sequin dress that bunches on the skirt.
Ilya offers his hand and Rose turns
“Rose Landry you look beautiful”
“Says you!” Rose says “I think Shane is drooling”
Shane laughs “I am not!" he kind of is
“Hollander, take picture of us” Ilya says as he throws his phone at Shane
Shane catches it and opens the camera app as Ilya puts his arm around Rose, they both do a duck face
“Ok” Ilya says turning to Rose “more outfits!”
“Yes, of course”
What proceeds is basically a walk off between Ilya and Rose. Rose picks one thing for Ilya while Ilya picks different things for Rose. They have a pose off with Shane clapping along and taking pictures. They also fight about the playlist but, the champagne keeps flowing and Shane find himself having a really good time.
“Wait, wait” Rose says walking into her closet and comes out with heart shapes sunglasses
“Yes!” Ilya says snatching them
Shane takes a picture and then Ilya snatches his phone and takes a selfie with Rose.
He starts going at his phone ans Shane gets up
“What are you doing?” Shane asks getting a peek as Ilya sharing a story to his Instagram
“I am posting about my new best friend Rose Landry” Ilya says matter-o-factly
Shane opens his phone as sees the story Ilya has shared, it’s the selfie they just took and Ilya has captioned it “life with Rose-colored glasses” and tagged Rose.
“Omg, so cute!” Rose says as she shares it to her own story
“Now you” Ilya says as he turns to Shane “need to change for party”
“What” he says as Ilya walks into his personal space and starts kissing him and pulling at his shirt. Shane briefly forgets where he is and starts to loose himself to the familiar pull of Ilya's mouth kissing him and his hands undressing him
“Stop it” Shane says breathlessly as he pushes Ilya away
Ilya smiles at him and gives him a quick peck
Shane turns to Rose who is smiling at them "Now, see, you where never like this with me”
“Sorry” Ilya says to Rose “I ruined Hollander for everyone else”
“Shut up” Shane says but he can’t hide how fond he is of his boyfriend
“Then, hurry up and get undressed” Ilya says “I will pick shirt for you, Rose Landry, you pick pants”
Ilya and Rose proceed to have a discussion of what Shane should wear while Shane awkwardly stands around in his briefs, then, Ilya proceeds to pick out accessories while Rose does his hair.
The car arrives for them and they are taken to Rose's party and the whole way there Rose and Ilya cannot stop yapping while Shane can just lay back, his hand on Ilya’s leg, Ilya's hand on the back of Shane's neck, and Shane can just hear them go at it with no pressure to talk.
They arrive at the party and the photographers are already there, to the side.
“I will come out first, then you” Ilya says pointing to Rose “and then you” Ilya says pointing to Shane
Ilya leaves the limo.
“You know it really does seem he’s trying to start a rumor that we’re dating” Rose says to Shane
“I think this is his payback for dating you” Shane admits
“God, he’s insufferable” Rose says, smiling
"He is" Shane says happily, and he know that she gets it
Ilya pokes his head back into the car.
“Hollander, Landry, what are you doing!” he says in his captain voice “we have red carpet!”
“Alright, alright”

Shane wakes up with a headache and naked Russian hockey player on top of him. Well, not fully naked, just wearing briefs.
After the boring promo party Ilya and Rose had gotten way too excited and eventually convinced Shane to go out to a club.
Usually Shane didn't like clubs but, watching Ilya and Rose hug and sing and laugh together had made his heart swell in a type of way.
But, the best part was when they had both looked at him and run to give him a kiss to each one of his cheeks.
God, he was loved by these to idiots, wasn't he?
Shane looked down at his idiot boyfriend as he stroked his sandy blonde curls. He pulled up his phone to a text from Rose.
Rose: Yesterday was so much fun!
Rose: I think Ilya is gonna love all the rumours that come out of this
Rose: Now I can be both your guys beards lol
Shane smiled at the message
Shane: You're the best beard
Shane: And the best friend
Shane: Thank you so much for last night
Rose: Love you baby
Rose: Let's text
Rose: I'm not done with your boyfriend
Shane laughs at the text
Shane: I don't think he's done with you either
Rose: Can't wait to hang out with you two again
Rose: love u
Shane: love u 2
Shane looks down at Ilya who is still passed out on his lower chest. It serves him right, he went shot for shot with Rose.
But, Shane can't complain-- he loves the blanket that is Ilya Rozanov. He runs his fingers through Ilya's hair as he sleepily presses himself harder into Shane's chest.
Shane feels a buzzing from his phone and he looks down to check his messages.
Sveta: If you go out again with Rose Landry and do not invite me I will hate you
Shane: Omg, it wasn't planned !
Sveta: It's still rude.
Shane: God, you're worse than Ilya
Sveta: Yes.
And Shane finds himself with a boyfriend on his chest and two friends telling him that they want to see him and god, he was wanted isn't he ? His presence, his Shane-ness.
He sends one heart to Sveta and one to Rose and wraps his arms around Ilya as he lays back on the bed, content.
