    Summary

    Rozanov’s smile was all teeth. “Ah, yes. Is gift.”

    Something tripped in Shane’s chest at the idea. Sure, they’d been hooking up for nearly half a decade by this point, but four frantic trysts a year did not a relationship make. Certainly not a relationship which included gifts.

    “Oh. I mean– thank you.” The sincerity felt strange on his tongue, but Yuna and David Hollander raised Shane with goddamn manners, and if somebody gave you a gift you said fucking thank you.

    Even if that someone was Ilya Rozanov. Even if he was looking at you with a Cheshire Cat smile that made you think you’d seriously missed an important piece of context.


    Or: Five times Ilya and Shane got each other gifts that absolutely, categorically, 100% didn't mean anything, and one time they gave up pretending.

    Summary

    Maybe, just maybe, Ilya can admit the Spyder is a bit suspicious. The Raiders license plate is not helping things but the Lambo has the vanity plate ROZY so what was he supposed to do? Take his Ferrari to pick up his boyfriend? No. Let his boyfriend take a cab to his house from the airport? Absolutely not.

    Luckily Shane is helping the situation by dressing like a broke frat boy in a hoodie that he’s had since he was seventeen years old (Ilya would know), a backwards Blue Jays hat, sweatpants, with nothing but a duffle and an insulated tote bag

    In which; The Hollanders take Ilya on a last minute road trip. Yuna is concerned about Ilya’s career, Shane wants to be the best boyfriend possible, Ilya wants to pay for a damn meal, and David is just happy to be in the kitchen.

    A Prequel to “One For The Road” but both can stand alone

    Summary

    No one is going to win a Pulitzer interviewing him, and Shane is okay with that. He spends most interviews rephrasing the same five sentiments--I’m happy we won or We need to work harder after that loss.

    They are a good team; the win was hard fought or They are a good team; there is a lot for us to take away.

    And finally: I love playing on this team, for our fans.

    Then Ilya Rozanov bursts into his life, and answering questions becomes a little more complicated.

    or: Shane Hollander, interviewee, throughout the years.
