    Summary

    “Tell me what happened. Why are you alone on the floor?” Shane asks, trying to stay calm.

    Ilya sniffs and rubs his face into Shane’s t-shirt. “Is stupid”, he mutters, sounding embarrassed.

    “Tell me anyway.”

    There’s a long pause, before Ilya admits, “I had a dream about my mom, and my dad. Woke up sweaty and shaking and just... bad. I did not want you to see.”

    Summary

    Shane doesn’t know exactly when he decided he was done hiding and bending over backwards to make other people comfortable. Sometime between going to bed last night and heading to the rink this morning, something in him just gave out.

    Summary

    His entire body felt tense as the door was pushed open. He trained his eyes on the floor, monologuing before he could stop himself,

    “Just so you know, my buddies paid for this dance for me and I’m sure you’re very nice and very pretty and good at what you do but I’m actually gay so you can just- Do what you need to do but I don’t want you to be offended because I’m not as into this as you’re probably…usually…used to…”

    He trailed away as he looked up, and met the eyes of the very tall, very broad, very handsome man leaning against the doorframe.

    They stared at each other, and Shane blinked, struck dumb.

    Or, the night of JJ's bachelor party, Shane is forced into a lap dance he very much does not want. Until he does, and everything changes.
