    Summary

    “Ah,” Ilya said, grinning, going for the joke.

    Shane looked up, curious.

    “So being boring is genetic?”

    He expected laughter. Or the way Shane would roll his eyes even as he melted, the way that made the teasing feel welcome.

    Instead, Shane’s smile disappeared completely. It wasn’t dramatic. It just… went. Like a light switched off.

    “Yeah,” Shane said, clearing his throat, forcing the word out before it could crack. “I guess so.”

    He took a step back, creating space that felt suddenly necessary, like he might suffocate if he drifted any closer. Every instinct in him screamed to leave. To put distance between himself and this feeling and the source of it before it swallowed him whole

    Summary

    He glances at his watch. Ilya probably won’t be home for fifteen more minutes or so. Shane knows he shouldn’t be snooping, but he’s so curious…

    He opens the box.

    And then his chest collapses.

    He was right. There are photos in here. Photos from Ilya’s childhood. But they’re not happy memories at all.

    Summary

    Shane doesn’t like to ask for what he needs, but when Ilya is around, he doesn’t have to.

    or five times Ilya fixes it without making Shane feel bad, and one time he doesn’t.

    Summary

    “I fucked up,” Hayden breathed into the speaker, causing Ilya’s brows to furrow. He could hear Hayden pacing. “Like. Fucked, man. Way up.”

    “Is surprise?” Ilya retorted. “Hayden Pike fucking up. I am thinking this could have been text and not call. Not sure if you were aware, but I am about to-”

    “I think Shane is high,” Hayden blurted out, and Ilya’s face dropped.

    -

    Or the one where Shane is accidentally high at Hayden’s house watching Ilya play hockey, which is nice until it isn’t.

    Summary

    “You are my friend, Hayden, but he is the man I am going to spend to rest of my life with - he is the man that I love. I will choose him over you, every fucking time.”

    Over anything and everything, Shane would choose Ilya. Even over hockey, if it came to that. There’s no doubt in his mind, no question about it.

    Losing hockey would hurt, and Shane would grieve it, but it wouldn’t kill him. It would be an ache he could live with. Losing Ilya is not something that Shane could ever survive. They’re so tangled together - so intertwined - that to lose Ilya would be to lose himself.
