Summary
They’ve got pretty good seats, Shane notes as they take their seats.
All the better to see Rozanov slammed against the boards, he tells himself.
His resolve lasts exactly a minute before the Raiders are out on the ice for warm-up. He can’t help the way his eyes zero in on 81. Can’t help the way he tracks Rozanov across the ice.
Shane watches as Rozanov pauses and then skates around as if looking for something in the crowd. The Russian skates past Shane’s section and backtracks, eyes immediately finding Shane’s. He shoots Shane a sloppy salute and a cocky smile before skating away.
Fuck.

In which Shane is a nerdy college hockey player (with a special interest in loons) and Ilya is still a Boston Raider. One would think this would make their years-long situationship easier. It does not.
Or, 5 times Shane watches Ilya’s games, 1 time Ilya watches Shane. The Hollanov situationship re-heated until feelings get involved. Oh no!
