    Summary

    Troy grins as he watches his teammates offer ideas (not all of them particularly sane or legal, but it’s the thought that counts) and they get jotted on the board. He really is humbled that Shane would do this for him without anything in return, just as his friend.

    Troy will make sure that he’s earned Shane’s friendship.

    Summary

    That’s what made Shane freeze, because if he was quiet and small then he could escape.

    Escape what? Ilya? They’re hockey players, they’re loud and rough and brash, it’s normal for them. It’s practically a love language they’ve been learning for over a decade. They barely argue either, nothing real, nothing concrete that isn’t just a softer version of chirping. The only time it’s been real lately was -

    Oh, he thinks as he grips the countertop so tightly his knuckles are bone white, I did this.

    -

    Or, after the Boxing Day fight and the almost plane crash, Shane and Ilya are finally together again. It takes two weeks for everything they've built to nearly break.

    Summary

    “I did something stupid,” Shane confesses, inhaling rapidly. He's still crying, still frozen in the doorway, besides his hitching chest and watering eyes. Hayden's never seen him like this, overtaken with emotion, bitter exhaustion in his voice. He makes a soft choked noise, and Hayden immediately wants to kill something, whatever it is that's making him feel so awful. “I—Hayds—you're gonna hate me—”

    “No,” Hayden says before he can even finish the thought, almost hurt by the accusation. “No way. You're—I wouldn't. I won't.”

    Shane sniffs, offering him a sad smile, his eyes watery and solemn. It's an unfamiliar look, burnt through with sorrow and twisting doubt, sharp worry in the furrow of his brow. “You are,” he says, soft and certain. “I do, and I'm the one who's doing it.”

    OR: Shane returns to the hotel room, post-tuna melt. Hayden spirals.

    Summary

    “How did you know that Novikov needed tape earlier?” Ilya asked as he came back up. “He did not say anything himself, yes? Or you would not have texted me about it.”

    I heard him say it in Russian to himself,” Shane replied with a grin, switching to Russian.

    Ilya’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. “You did? And you understood him?

    Yes! I was so happy that I understood what he said. Of course, I had to tell you because nobody knows I can speak Russian.

    Yes, it would be suspicious.

    ===

    A new Russian player, Dimitri Novikov, is drafted onto the Ottawa Centaurs in the same season that Shane Hollander is unceremoniously traded from the Montreal Voyageurs. His reasons for leaving Montreal are unclear, and the reasons he chose Ottawa are even less so. However, as Dimitri begins to suspect that Shane secretly knows Russian, his curiosity ends up getting him wrapped up in a relationship he didn’t even know existed. But perhaps a little turbulence is what Shane and Ilya needed to realize their relationship is strong enough to weather anything that comes their way.
