    Summary

    Being a professional athlete in a contact sport is an exercise in enduring pain. Sometimes you get benched for three weeks because you have a broken cheekbone after you get hit in the face with a slap shot. Sometimes you play through a strained quad, a bruised shoulder, a mild fever. Most times, it’s just the constant, unending soreness that comes with pushing your body to its limit every single day. Every athlete had an injury they hated most, though, one that’s particularly painful or recurrent or just annoying. 

    Ilya fucking hated injuring his ribs. There is almost nothing you can do with your body that doesn't involve moving your torso, and the pain is deep, throbbing, and gets just a tiny bit worse every time you breathe. Sitting up hurts, lying down hurts, walking hurts, and worst of all, coughing fucking hurts.

    or

    Ilya is sick and injured in the off-season. Luckily, Shane loves him so very much and is there to take care of him.

    Summary

    Ilya wakes from a nightmare so vivid that, for a few terrifying seconds, he can't tell where the dream ends and reality begins. In the nightmare, Shane is lying motionless on the ice after his accident with Marleau. When he finally wakes up, the panic doesn't disappear. what make it worse Shane's side of the bed is empty.

    What Ilya doesn't know is that Shane had only stepped outside to take a call from Hayden. When Shane returns, he finds Ilya standing on the porch, barefoot, shaking, and crying. He talks Ilya through the panic, helps him breathe, wraps him in his arms, and reminds him that he's safe.

    When Ilya admits he's afraid to go back to sleep, Shane doesn't hesitate to abandon his carefully planned morning routine. He climbs back into bed, holds him close, and promises to stay right there until he wakes up. Whatever the nightmare takes from him, Shane is determined to give back a sense of safety.

    Summary

    Shane is made to be worshiped; he's a luxury. He’s perfect. A bona fide godsend. He shouldn’t have to deal with this. He shouldn’t have to lose sleep putting the pieces of him back together in the middle of the night. He deserves better than him; of course, he does. He deserves the world.

    Ilya needs to make it worth it. He needs to remind him what Shane was so captivated by in the early phase of their relationship. Shane fell in love with the flirtatious, bold, confident athlete who could make Shane swoon with a single kiss. Not this burdensome, troubled crybaby who had become, to his great humiliation, emotionally dependent on Shane.

    Make it worth it, Ilya tells himself.

    ~

    (Takes place after the events of 'The Long Game')

    Ilya has a nightmare. Shane helps calm him down and soothes some fears that have been plaguing him at the same time.
