    Summary

    It wont come out.

    Ilya is one of the last left in the locker room. Gear half-stripped, gloves off but he’s still clumsy wrestling with his phone on the bench.

    What do u mean

    No question mark, just the blunted grammar that he usually corrects, brushing right past a come on or suck up to insist Ilya shouldn't know that word. He all the time ignores the effort Ilya puts in, the ways he tries and tries, how he’s getting better. When Hollander responds with barely a three second delay, Ilya misses the criticism.

    It won't. Come out.

    Summary

    “Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”

    “That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.

    That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”
