    Summary

    He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.

    He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.

    Shane is making space for Ilya.

    Summary

    Dialect (ˈdī-ə-ˌlekt). Noun: A variety of a language used by the members of a group.
     
    ...

    Shane's been fucking Ilya Rozanov for a decade and yet somehow the more time they spend together the more he realizes how little he actually knows about Ilya, like, as a person. As a partner. 

    Again, he wishes he spoke Russian. That they had any shared native language besides sex and hockey.

    “Is not two seconds,” Ilya says. He has already added the protein bar to his shopping basket and is in the process of putting in ten-packs of the other flavours. “I only buy when you look at least three seconds. That is when you want to have.”

    Or:
    Ilya starts giving Shane gifts at every opportunity. Shane investigates, and retaliates.
