    Summary

    Ilya starts calling Shane boring regularly after that, not cruelly but persistently, the way you press a bruise you know is there just to confirm it still hurts. Shane's cereal is boring, Shane's training schedule is boring, Shane's shoes lined up by the door are boring, and Shane responds with variations of "fuck off" and "you're an asshole" that become increasingly creative and occasionally surprising. They do not talk about anything that matters. They talk about groceries and whose turn it is to take out the trash and whether Ilya's music is too loud at midnight, which it is.

    On the ice, Shane is someone else entirely. Ilya watches him from the upper stands every morning with vending machine coffee going cold in his hand and doesn't tell anyone.

    Or: Shane asked Ilya once how you know when it's the right person. Ilya described Shane to him, and Shane didn't recognise himself.

    Summary

    “Shane.” Ilya’s hands caught him around the waist. “I love that you handled it. Maybe it was not the best strategy, but it's not about that. I don’t mind being protected when it is you doing it.”

    Shane felt like his entire chest had turned to goo at the sentiment.

    “Also,” Ilya added, and now his tone was smug again, “I did not know you were so good at fighting. Moy tigryonok, so vicious. It was very arousing. I could hardly look at you afterwards without whole arena knowing how much I wanted to fuck you.”


    Now that they're on the same team, Shane gets to fight for Ilya. It goes even better than he might've hoped.

    “What is this ‘ball and chain’?” Ilya frowned.

    Ilya's teammate grinned. “Wife. Girlfriend. Nagging you. Controlling. No fun allowed.”

    Summary

    Shane doesn't flinch, just leans forward a little, and it feels like surrender.

    “You'd let anyone, right?” Ilya murmurs, mouthing at the curve of Shane’s neck. "That guy, too, right?"

    "No." He's telling the truth. "Just, fuck, just you.”

    “Oh, lucky me. Turn around.”

    Summary

    When Shane thought back on his life, he could not identify a serious misstep. Nothing should be wrong with him. He'd done everything exactly how he was supposed to.
