    Summary

    Ilya is…he’s Shane’s entire heart. The air that he breathes, the reason for everything he does. None of it would matter without Ilya. This is the closest he’s ever come to losing him, and the thought of it - the possibility that everything they’ve been fighting for could just be lost - had struck Shane so acutely, so agonisingly.

    He’d once thought that losing hockey was the worst thing that could ever happen to him. He knows, now, that isn’t true.

    Summary

    Summary

    “Teammates,” Taylor echoed, his gaze drifting. Slowly, deliberately, to the ring on Ilya’s left hand. He did not look away immediately. He let the silence stretch until it became noticeable.

    Shane felt the first flicker of unease then—not jealousy, not yet, but something colder. A sense of being assessed.

    Summary

    “I want to eat you,” Ilya tells him.

    Shane laughs, loud and bright and carefree, and Ilya feels it blooming inside of his chest like a sunflower. It only makes the desire to consume him grow even stronger. Not in a crazy way (probably), but because he feels like he can never get enough of this man. His Shane. His husband. No amount of time, no amount of closeness, ever feels like it could be enough.

    He wants them both to be eternal, wants to live with their ribcages locked together and their hearts thumping against each other.

    Summary

    “Jar!” Hayes calls out from across the room.

    “What? We didn’t even do anything!” Shane insists, rather indignantly.

    “Oh, please. You can’t look at each other like that and call it nothing. I know that look - I have a wife.”

    “So I can’t look at my husband now?” Ilya whines. “This is workplace bullying!”

     

    (Or, the Centaurs get Ilya and Shane a PDA jar. It doesn’t work.)
