Summary
@ottawacentaurs
Shane Hollander ranks hockey players; number five will surprise you!“Who’s the third?” Shane asked with seemingly genuine confusion.
“What?”
“The third player.” Shane clarified, “In the big three of active players? I mean it’s me and Ilya, right?”
Amelia nodded mutely whilst Luca Haas, who had been asked the question, stared at Shane with wide eyes.
“So, who’s the third?” Shane’s face took on a contemplative look.
“Scott Hunter?” Amelia said with confusion.
“Hunter?” Shane looked surprised. “Why?”
Across the room Roz let out a bark of laughter.- Language:

Summary
“Can I ask you something?”
There’s a flash of what looks like fear that crosses Ilya's face before he sits back, his posture slightly closed off as his arms cross in front of his chest. “Depends on what it is,” he says, eyes somewhat steely.
She gets why people are intimidated by him on the ice.
“Why Ottawa?” She knows it’s something everyone has been asking, but she feels like it’s a legitimate thing to ask. “I mean, I get maybe you’re not happy in Boston, but you could have gone anywhere.”
“Not anywhere,” he says with an almost pout.
“But almost anywhere.”
He lets out a long breath of air through his nose. “I know it does not make sense, but it should not have to make sense to anyone but me.”
Kate tilts her head to the side, appraising him from across the table. “That’s not an answer.”
Ilya shrugs, but he holds her gaze steadily. “Maybe one day you will understand. But for now, know I am where I am supposed to be.”
And who is she to argue with that?
__
Or, everyone asks 'why Ottawa?' Ilya's neighbor, Kate, just happens to figure it out first.

Summary
“What are we doing?” Shane asks and Ilya holds out the other pair of skates he’d grabbed.
“Put these on,” Ilya says, and Shane takes them from him with a skepitcal look.
“Will these even fit me? And again, what are we doing? Are we even supposed to be here? I don’t think–”
“Shane,” Ilya interrupts, taking Shane’s face into his hands and squeezing just enough to make Shane’s lips pucker out. “You are going crazy at home. You love to skate. You love hockey. So let’s go skate. And play hockey. Just you and me, okay?”
Oh.
There’s so many things he wants to say. Like how much he loves Ilya. Or how glad he is that they’d taken the plunge off that scary, crazy cliff when they were teenagers. Or how even in the midst of the craziness and anxiety and unknown, Shane is so fucking excited for the life they’re going to have.
But it all gets caught in his throat as emotion takes hold, and all he can do is nod and say, “Okay.”
____
Or, five times Ilya helps Shane when he's overwhelmed and one time Shane returns the favor.

He sends Shane a link for an article about the Puppy Bowl.
Ilya [19:34] Shane Hollander. Did you know this exists?
Shane [19:46] No? Why would I have heard of this?
Ilya [19:46] God, you are such a disappointment
Ilya [19:47] I love you.

would you still love me by UglyGreenJacket

Summary
“Hey,” Ilya’s voice, deep and rough, resonates through Shane all the way down to the bottoms of his feet.
He turns his head toward the sound, but doesn’t open his eyes, instead opting just to keep the blissed-out look on his face as he waits to hear what Ilya’s going to say.
Shane imagines it’ll be something like, ‘You are perfect. Such a good boy.’
Or maybe in Russian, ‘I love you so much.’
But much more likely, ‘I give you ten minutes, and then I blow you in the shower.’
Fingers brush against his cheek, and Shane leans into the touch, lost in the feeling of being loved and wanted so wholly. And then, “Would you still love me if I was a worm?”
His eyes open, and he wonders if his dopamine-addled brain has just misheard. “I’m sorry. What?”
