    Summary

    Cliff had to approach this correctly, or Ilya was liable to sock him in the jaw and clam up entirely. Subtlety was his friend here.

    And all of that flew immediately out of his head the moment that Ilya opened his front door, looking sweaty and shirtless and mildly pissed off, which was pretty much his standard look.

    “Are you moving to Canada for some fuckboy?” was how the question came out of his mouth instead.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He couldn’t come in, guns blazing, throwing around wild accusations about the biggest gay hockey scandal the world had ever seen. Well, since the Scott Hunter thing at least. Although maybe this was bigger than Hunter and his secret barista boyfriend, if Ilya really was hooking up with another player. Cliff had to approach this correctly, or Ilya was liable to sock him in the jaw and clam up entirely. Subtlety was his friend here. 
    And all of that flew immediately out of his head the moment that Ilya opened his front door, looking sweaty and shirtless and mildly pissed off, which was pretty much his standard look. 
    “Are you moving to Canada for some fuckboy?” was how the question came out of his mouth instead.

    “You’re Ilya Fucking Rozanov. No one would be able to touch you.”
    Ilya shrugged one shoulder. “Maybe,” he said, “I cannot take that chance. This way, I can keep him and still play hockey. If I lose visa and have to go back to Russia, I will lose both.” He then squared his shoulders and said, “If I have to choose between him and hockey, I will choose him.”

    “Hayden P—?” Ilya choked as if the name was causing him physical pain. “I am not fucking Hayden Pike. I would not fuck Hayden Pike if someone paid me.” He put a hand on his hip, face becoming distinctly bitchy. “I would catch something,” he complained. “Shitty Player Disease. Or he would find some way to make me pregnant, he has about nineteen children already.”
    Cliff was pretty sure that wasn’t right, but now he was also starting to think that he hadn’t been either. 
    “Man needs a second vasectomy,” Ilya continued his tirade, almost to himself by that point. “I know he had first, I had to hear all about it. But I don’t trust it worked. The world does not need any more Pikes.”

    “What do you want me to say?”
    No. Holy shit. No fucking way. 
    Cliff felt a little woozy. He sat heavily back into the chair. “Please tell me that isn’t Shane Hollander.”
    Ilya tilted his head. “You want me to lie, or…?”
    “Uh, yeah, hi,” Shane Hollander said from the phone speaker, “It’s me.”
    “Oh my god,” Cliff leaned forward and put his head into his hands. What kind of backwards universe had he fallen into? 
    “You want to hear something funny?” Ilya asked, and didn’t wait for Shane to say yes before he continued. “Marly figured whole thing out. Except.” He paused there for dramatic effect. Cliff could tell without looking that he was sporting a shit-eating grin. “He thought you were Pike.” 
    “He thought you were seeing Hayden?” he asked. 
    “Yes,” Ilya said. And then both he and Shane Hollander were laughing at him.

    Summary

    “Is very far from entrance to house,” Ilya said, brushing lightly past Shane to assess the space.

    “That’s a new one,” Shane noted, his eyes narrowing. “No problem. If we have to keep looking, I’ll keep that in mind. Any reason why? Sore after the games, or…?”

    “No.” Ilya shook his head, his gaze trailing over Shane from head to toe before drifting slowly back up and settling on the wide set of his cupid’s bow. “I just do not need guests to see whole house before I get them into bed.”

    OR: Ilya doesn’t want a new home, but he definitely wants his real estate agent.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “You play in the MLH? Oh. Oh my god. That Connors. You’re on Boston?”
    “So you do watch.” Ilya drained the rest of his beer and lifted the empty bottle toward a passing server. “Do I get discount since you are my fan?”
    “When did I say-” Shane cut himself off and took a very audible breath.

     

    “Really impressive craftsmanship. Though I’ve realized most professional players don’t spend much time in the kitchen. It’s usually more of a benefit for their wives.”
    “Ah,” Ilya said. “I am not much of a cook. Prefer takeout.”
    “There are great delivery options around here,” Shane replied, and Ilya realized that no matter what he said, Shane would find a way to turn it into a selling point.

     

    “I just do not need guests to see whole house before I get them into bed.”
    Shane nearly choked on his coffee. Then Ilya saw it, a flicker of someone else beneath the professional face. He was practically giddy when Shane replied, “Scared they’ll change their mind before they get up here?”

     

    Mr. Real Estate:
    Good luck tonight
     
    Ilya:
    Will not need it. Buffalo sucks
     
    Mr. Real Estate:
    Fine, luck revoked

    They had lost against Buffalo.

     

    “Another point for penthouse,” Ilya murmured as he cranked the dial off.
    Shane smiled. “What was the first?”
    “The view,” Ilya admitted. Standing this close to Shane, he wasn’t sure which view he meant. “Nice to be reminded Boston is bigger than a few crappy nightclubs and TD Garden.”
    “The twenty-fourth largest city in the U.S.,” Shane added brightly, then winced. “Sorry. Habit.”
    Ilya couldn’t hide his smile. “What else?”
    “Um.” Shane leaned back against the counter. “The Tremont Street Subway was the first in America.”
    Ilya’s eyes narrowed. “What year?”
    Color crept up Shane’s neck. “Opened in 1897.”
    Ilya let the quiet stretch before murmuring, “How many more boring fun facts you have, Hollander?”
    “Wow,” Shane said, a soft smile tugging at his mouth as his gaze flicked from Ilya’s lips to his eyes and back again. “None for you.”

     

    Mr. Real Estate:
    I’m sending you the counter. Youll need to check your email
     
    Ilya:
    Actually I dont want penthouse anymore
     
    Mr. Real Estate:
    You are singlehandedly competing for worst client of the year
     
    Ilya:
    I am excited to display with my other trophies
     
    Mr. Real Estate:
    It will look great in your new penthouse :)

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    Third-wheeling Ricky and Gyuvin on their amusement park date isn’t Gunwook’s idea of the perfect Saturday, and that's not even considering his newfound fear of rides. But when Gyuvin points to the boy running the rollercoaster, Gunwook knows he has to talk to him. Even if it’s the last thing he does.

    (Or, Gunwook is terrified of rides, but can be brave if it means getting to talk to Matthew.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The boy is shuffling in the next bunch of ride goers, counting by twos with his index and middle finger. It’s hot, Gunwook thinks. He then shakes his head, because his standards can’t include counting by twos.

    He knows he sounds desperate. He’s gesticulating like Gyuvin, for god’s sake.

    “Sorry,” Matthew is flushed walking back into the room, pink sitting high on his cheeks. “Gia is strict with her schedule.”
    “No worries, I am too,” Gunwook says and then closes his eyes for a second. Because what.

    “Make a wish,” he says, holding it out for Gunwook to blow on. This is stupid. He needs to be euthanized.

    He’s twenty years old; this is his first time liking someone seriously and logically he knows the gaping maw of his chest is universal. Even though it feels cataclysmic and all-consuming to him, Matthew has probably done this so many times before.
    So, Gunwook aims for casual.
    “I only went on one ride that day,” Gunwook offers with a shy smile. He speaks in half-truths, because he knows his body will betray him anyway. His face has always been too expressive, body language too open. But for Matthew, he wants to be cool. It makes him feel sick.

    His inexperience makes his hands shake, his palms sweat, and he doesn’t want Matthew to see him the way he sometimes sees himself.

    They’re already only inches apart. They’re always only inches apart.

    Boodram: Rozy how the fuck do you get your google docs hacked
    Dykstra: In his defense, who the fuck hacks into google docs?
    Holmberg: Roz why are you using your work email for groceries????

    Or: Ilya Rozanov's gmail gets hacked in February 2021. To everyone's surprise, they find zero sex tapes, one Shane Hollander-shaped grocery list, and one list of travel notes.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Boyle: Did anyone read it? Rozy’s leaked docs?
    Hayes: It feels wrong
    Boodram: Hayes. Wyatt.
    Hayes: yesokayfineidid

    Montreal is where it gets interesting. There are your usual chirps like Shane Hollander having a weak backhand (he has the second strongest backhand in the league), being slow (he won the speed competition at the last All Star Games), and being short (he’s the same height as Rozanov), or Hayden Pike having 4000 children (he has four) and being the 15th best player on the team (eh. Jury’s still out on this one). There is the expected commentary about how traffic in and out of the Trudeau airport will take years off your life and how Montreal has “no traffic laws, only traffic suggestions.”

    Haas: I know it is rude to speculate on others’ sexuality but Ilya owns too many lamps to be straight
    Bood: What?
    Chouinard: What?
    Dykstra: What/
    Hayes: Overhead lights are homophobic

    Marleau: guys, do you have the feeling that we might be missing something really obvious?
    Hammersmith: what do you mean?
    Marleau: idk how to explain it
    Like we’re so close but it feels like there’s something really obvious we overlooked
    Connors: wow Marley, I didn’t you knew words as big as overlooked
    Marleau: fuck off Connors
    Connors: I see what you mean though
    St. Simon: do you think he’s actually fucking Hollander’s mom?
    It would explain why he ditched us for Ottawa

    J.J.: although I gotta say, this whole thing strangely wholesome for a man who probably moved to Ottawa because he ran out of women in Boston
