    Summary

    Shane Hollander had a plan. It was a good plan, just as every other plan he’d ever made was a good plan. Then he watched a video of a burning plane carrying the love of his life and it became the only plan he’d ever changed.

    or...

    Shane goes to Tampa. The next morning, Troy Barrett receives a text from Ilya:

    “Bringing boyfriend to breakfast. Tell team to be not weird.”

    The Centaurs are, unsurprisingly, weird about it but become the best support system they could ask for as Shane and Ilya navigate the choice to fully begin their lives together and love each other out loud.

    Summary

    “What is it like for - for the other person?” Shane asks, swallowing dryly. He knows Ilya can probably tell that he’s going from anxious to turned on.

    Ilya moves his hand up a little, so he’s touching Shane’s forearm lightly. “Well, people say it makes them feel very needy. Very open. Like, have to be filled. Begging more. Then, like you are being used. Less of a person and more of a thing for sex.”

    Shane can feel himself starting to get hard. “Huh,” he says. “Well, I mean, we could keep them, I guess. You know, just in case.”

    -

    Shane finds poppers in Ilya's bedside table. Things escalate from there.

    Summary

    Shane stares at the fabric in his hands and takes a deep breath. He’ll never hear the fucking end of it if he wears this thing out. He’ll never hear the end of it if he doesn’t.
    Lose-lose, really.
    A whoop sounds out behind him as Shane slips the jersey over his head. It sits awkwardly, though he can’t tell if that’s because the material is brand new or because his body won’t relax. It’s hot, as if the fabric lettering on the back is branding his skin. As if he’ll take off the jersey and be marked for life:
    ROZANOV. 81.

    Shane wears Ilya's jersey out in public. Ilya has very strong feelings about it.

    Summary

    On the whole, Shane loved a good spa.

    He wasn’t afraid to admit it, either. For all that the other Metros teased him about his pristine, porcelain skin in a locker room of grizzly bears who thought SPF was a kind of crypto, he knew that brands liked a guy who actually took care of himself.

     
    Just enough time between All-Star games this weekend for a spa day! Shane can’t wait to get a facial.

    Unfortunately for Shane, Ilya can’t wait to give him one.
