    Summary

    “Shane?” Ilya asks again. “What happened?” His gloveless hand twitches and he lifts it a fraction of an inch towards Shane.

    Shane tosses his own gloves to the ice and reaches forward, lacing their fingers together. “You took a bad hit,” he says, gritting his teeth against the fear clawing at his guts. “Flipped headfirst into the ice. Are you okay?”

    Ilya groans in answer and squeezes his hand, though Shane can't tell if he meant to do that or not.

    Suddenly, there are people all around them. Shane shifts protectively close before he realizes it’s the medical team.

    “Hollander, get back to your bench,” someone says, but there’s no way Shane’s going. Even if he wanted to, Ilya’s gripping his hand like a lifeline, eyes finally locked on Shane’s face. Shane isn’t leaving him.

    Summary

    Hayden could not imagine someone losing that and their mother in the same day. It would age you. It would change you. Perhaps by the time Ilya had been thirteen, and fourteen, perhaps he had already been grown.

    Hayden Pike grit his teeth because he knew he had been wrong. Ilya Rozanov had never just been an obnoxious hockey player with a colossal ego and nice smile - nice enough to entrap Shane Hollander, anyway - and now his hatred was mostly unfounded. He hated it when people were more complex than they seemed. It meant he had to change his mind.

    Or

    Five times people see the impact of Ilya growing up too fast, and one time a tiger becomes a boy again.

    Summary

    The second announcer switched in. “That’s right, and with the score at 5-3, it seems unlikely the Centaurs are going home disappointed tonight. A superb performance from the team and from their captain.

    Well you know what they say?

    What do they say?

    No one can take a hit like Ilya Rozanov.

    Or

    5 times Ilya Rozanov takes a hit, and 1 time he doesnt have to.

    Summary

    Unknown Number: Answer your fucking calls, Shane Hollander.

    Then another one, mere seconds later.

    Unknown Number: I’m open to using bribery or threats to get you to talk.

    Yuna picked up Shane’s phone, eyebrows raised.

    Unknown Number: I have Ilyusha’s baby pictures, Hollander. I will hold them hostage.

    The screen lit up with a call within the next thirty seconds, and Yuna didn’t hesitate before answering.

    “This is Yuna, Shane’s mother.”

    -

    If pressed, Yuna would deny snooping. Shane (and David, and likely Ilya) would disagree, but that was fine. It’s not like she’d gone looking; Shane had simply left his phone in view and she so happened to see some messages. And then so happened to answer a call from one Svetlana Vetrovna.

    -

    AKA exploring the intrinsic language barriers between someone who grew up with a loving and supportive family, and someone who grew up with a father like Grigori Rozanov.
