    Summary

    Everyone knows Shane Hollander. Captain. Franchise player. Olympic silver medallist. The face of the NHL.

    Very few people know Shane.

    Cliff Marleau certainly didn't expect to become one of them after a chance encounter in a quiet hallway of a Vegas hotel. He'd only meant to make sure Shane Hollander was okay.

    He didn't expect the day to end with Hollander's phone number, or to spend the summer exchanging messages with the man. He certainly didn't expect to become the one person Shane actually wanted to hear from.

    Friendship was never part of the plan... but then neither was falling in love.

    (Or: Cliff finds Shane having a panic attack, helps him through it and then everything goes from there)

    Summary

    This thing that they have—whatever the hell it is—it’s good. It’s easy. It feels like the only thing keeping Ilya afloat sometimes.

    He can’t let it get to a place where it’s more than just a good, convenient fuck and some fun teasing in between. Even if sometimes, in brief moments of tenderness, it already feels like it’s more than that. Or at least like it’s something that can be, if they just let it.

    But they don’t. They can’t.

    Although sometimes, Ilya does find himself giving in to the urge to look at Shane just a little bit longer, to let his touch be just a little bit gentler, more reverent, than what it would be for something as casual as they claim this to be—albeit sparingly.

    Sometimes, just for a moment, he lets himself indulge. He lets some of that affection bleed out of him because he feels like he’ll implode if he doesn’t.

    But he always catches himself before it can linger.

    ***

    or

    so ilya is forced to reckon with his feelings much sooner

    Summary

    “I can’t believe you're here.” Shane says, blushing like he's embarrassed.

    “You said you wanted me to be.” Ilya shrugs, trying to be cool. “And you do not seem like someone who asks for things very often when you need them.”

    or, in the summer of 2016 when they don't normally see each other, Ilya gets a text from Shane that changes everything.

    Summary

    “Hey, did you hear about Rozanov?”

    Shane’s head snaps up at the mention of the Boston captain, eyes locking with Hayden’s. His friend looks amused, motioning to his phone.

    “No, what about him?” Shane asks, trying to sound casual.

    “He got some girl’s name tattooed on his leg. Apparently he was out partying with his team after their win and got it done. An Instagram post is going viral about it.”

    or, Ilya gets a tattoo. Shane is very calm about it.
