Summary
Ilya wouldn't have said anything.
It's not a problem that can be solved, therefore it's not worth wasting time and oxygen on it. Hoping against hope for the impossible to occur, when immutable variables are at play is naive at best and stupid at worst; Ilya tries to be neither.
It's silly, after so many years, to be so sad about it.

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Summary
Shane gets in the car and slams the door shut.
“What was that?” his dad asks, voice slightly worried.
“Nothing,” Shane says unconvincingly, looking down at his hands, tearing at the skin around his fingernails.
“Didn’t look like nothing, bud. It’s unlike you not to say bye to your friend like that. Or slam the door.”
“Ilya Rozanov is not my friend, Dad.”

Shane Hollander thinks he's ready for 8th grade. For the most part, he is.
Enter: Ilya Rozanov.
Shane is not ready for the way his life is about to change.Bookmarked by bvelez

Summary
“Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”
Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.
“Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”
“Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.
“Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”
This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.
It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.
