    Summary

    Ilya nods just once, “So you know about…?”

    “I know about Jane, yes,” he said, “and Lily.”

    “Fuck.”

    or someone finds out.

    Summary

    Ilya reached into the pocket of his neon tracksuit and pulled out a slightly crumpled $100 bill. He stood up, walked to the center of the room, and slammed it into a gold-rimmed Versace vase that was currently serving as a glorified trash can for Sasha's empty sunflower seed bags.

    "A tax," Ilya said, already unwrapping another piece of gum. "Every time the Canadian says something that makes me want to die of boredom, we pay the tax. When the jar is full, we buy him a personality."

    Ilya looked at the lone $100 bill sitting at the bottom of the vase. "He still eats Cinnamon Toast Crunch for breakfast," Ilya whispered, his voice trembling. "We are going to need a much bigger vase."

     

    Or

    Swear Jar? More like Boring Jar, but instead of making Shane pay the gang just throw in an arbitrary amount of money to buy him a personality

    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?
