Summary
“What are you wearing?” Ilya asks, his voice sounding strangled.
Shane looks down, confused. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing? I always–”
“Why are you wearing your glasses?” Ilya interrupts, and Shane notices the tension in his entire body when he speaks.
“I ran out of contacts,” Shane says.
“So you are wearing glasses to practice?”
“Yeah, it’s just one practice,” he says defensively, even though he’s done nothing wrong. “I’ll grab a pair of contacts from the eye doctor this afternoon."
“Right,” Ilya says, his eyes laser-focused on Shane’s face as his lips set in a tight line.
“Is that a problem?” Shane quips, and it comes off kind of bitchy, but he’s so confused as to why Ilya would have any issue with him wearing his glasses to one practice. He normally loves Shane in glasses.
Ilya seems to shake himself out of whatever weird-ass mood he’d fall into. He smiles, but it looks strained. “Of course not. Let’s go.”
___
Or, Shane has to wear his glasses to practice and Ilya absolutely cannot deal with it.

Summary
Hayden Pike can admit he’s got a lot of things on his mind these days. Hockey takes up a lot of it, so does his kids, as much as he loves all four of them. The rest is all for Jackie. He’s not oblivious though, he’s good at puzzles, enjoys a good game show on a Sunday morning with the wife. Hayden has roomed with Shane Hollander, his best friend, uncle to his children, for a good number of years now, so of course he knows about Lily’s existence.
Maybe not much about her, but he’s seen the way Shane’s face lights up when she calls, how he’s always quick to slip away from the hotel room in Boston, how fast the man checks his phone. As Shane’s best friend, of course Hayden knows the most about the man and about the secrets surrounding his mysterious girlfriend. Right?

Summary
Shane Hollander knows he’s not a small guy. Years of hockey and workouts have built up his muscles, and lucky genetics from his father’s side places him just shy of six feet. He’s checked hockey players half a foot and several pounds more than him, knocked Scott Hunter into the ice in the one fight he’s ever actually thrown hands in. But as much as Shane loves the game, the fast movements, passes, and team camaraderie, there were times where he could only feel regret at following the path of athletic fame. He puts on the media smile he practices in the mirror as he brushes his hair each day, uses the bright lights of press conferences to erase his view of the audience, and keeps his answers simple and focused on hockey.
The number of people outside the arena still makes him feel crushed in on all sides, small. Eyes trained on his face, cameras flashing, pens and cell phones being passed into his hands. The itch of it all settles under his skin.

Summary
Shane is finally ready to come out on his own terms in an emotional Instagram post about his relationship with Ilya...
The only problem is everyone thinks he was hacked.
To be fair, Ilya writing: No is true, I'm gay for Hollander, did not help.
