    Summary

    All Shane wanted was a nice, peaceful Sunday. Unfortunately, the pitfalls of marrying a reformed Slavic fuck boy remain by and large.

    ----

    “You’re the worst,” Shane informs him, after they finally hang up. “First, you cheat on me. Four times! Then, you tried to blackmail a senior citizen. And then, you cast me aside for a dog?”

    He swings his leg over Ilya’s hip until they’re pulled flush together, Shane straddling his lap. “I want a divorce,” he declares huffily.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Wait — no — they think we are in a–” Ilya squints in confusion. “Ethically consensual polyamorous quad.”

    Shane coughs out some of his protein shake. He definitely feels a little bit of it crawl up the back of his nose. “What the fuck—”

    Wordlessly, Ilya grabs a piece of kitchen roll to wipe up the bits of shake that flew onto the counter, shifts his stool closer to pat his back as Shane tries to catch his breath. The furrow between his brow deepens. “Baby,” Ilya finally says, concern dripping in that one word. “I do not understand what the fuck that means.”

    “It— It means—” Shane coughs, making a series of increasingly unintelligible hand gestures that probably only serves to confuse Ilya all the more. Shane clears his throat again, swallows a big gulp of his protein shake for good measure. “They think Scott, Kip, and us are — in a relationship — together. Fucking.”

    “Chto za khuynya?!” Ilya yelps, dropping his phone as if contaminated, his face scrunching up in horror. He lets out another string of profanities in Russian before turning to Shane, staring him down serious and stone faced. “This is clearly the capitalist depravity they warned us about in Russia.”

    Shane opens his mouth as if to object, and shuts it just as quick. Ilya’s probably not totally off-base here, but he’s definitely not touching that with a ten-foot pole. “I think that’s enough Twitter,” he offers weakly instead.

    Summary

    “I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”

    “Yes.”

    The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.

    “Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”

    Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”

    or, Ilya stays in Boston, gets a rookie, and tries to figure out how to make a secret long distance relationship work while there's a Russian teenager in his house

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Look…Neil,” Shane started. “Surely this happens all the time. You never have someone pop out of their room to go to the vending machine and they forget their key?”

    Neil gave him a blank look. “No.”

    Shane sent a look back to Kosmodemyansky as if saying: you see this guy? The kid just looked at him wide-eyed and silent.

    Shane threw his hands up. “So, what? You want this kid to go sleep in the hallway? All his stuff is in his room.”

    “We can have someone accompany you to your room so that you can retrieve your proof of identity, but we’re a bit short staffed tonight. It’ll probably be a twenty minute wait—”

    “Proving his identity? We are NHL players. At the NHL Awards. Surely you’ve noticed the hallways crawling with hockey players. You need proof of identity? He’s got a fucking Wikipedia page, google him.”

    Neil raised his eyebrows. “I can’t give special treatment just because you’ve been on TV.”

    “Is okay,” Kosmodemyansky said, tapping Shane on the shoulder.

    “Listen Neil, I really should be asleep right now,” Shane said, a little too loudly for a hotel lobby. “But instead I’m here in a hotel in Vegas trying to get this kid a room key. You don’t want me to be here, I don’t want to be here, and you definitely don’t want me calling over your manager and making a big fucking scene, Neil. I don’t care what you need to do, but if you don’t get a key for room 709 out here in the next couple of minutes, I just might start crying. I am tired, he’s tired, I’ve been wearing an uncomfortable suit all night, and I never even got to eat a macaroni cupcake, I do not need to be waiting in this lobby for twenty minutes.”

    Heads were starting to turn in the lobby now, Neil looked nervous.

    “Well…can you give me the name the reservation is under?”

    “Kosmodemyansky,” Shane said.

    “I don’t know how to spell that.”

    “Fucking try, Neil.”

    Summary

    Boston University.

    Shane Hollander: Junior, 21, player for the Boston University Terriers, and majoring in Human Physiology.

    Ilya Rozanov: Junior, 21, player for the Boston University Terriers, and majoring in finance.

    Shane and Ilya work well together on the ice, but there is no confusion that they aren't fans of each other. Shane is constantly fed up with Ilya showing up late and not taking things as seriously as him. Ilya likes to tease him, but he always puts his all in during games. It’s been like this since they started two and half year ago.

    Midway through the fall semester, Ilya takes a bad hit and is taken off the ice during the game. Shane comes up with an unorthodox solution to fulfill Ilya's physical needs while he recovers, and Shane's academic needs for extra credit.

    ---

    AKA giving your teammate blow jobs so he doesn't re-injure his knee and can play hockey is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
