    Summary

    In which Shane Hollander is sick, and Ilya Rozanov is the only one who notices he's not himself

    “How…you’re calling him Shane, you…how do you know…”

    Ilya isn’t sure how much he wants to say, needs to say, in order to get Pike to do something, he doesn’t want to out Shane, doesn’t want to take that choice from him, but no one is listening.

    “I’m…” Shane can hate him, Shane can hate him as long as he’s himself, as long as he’s Shane again, “I’m Boston Lily.”

    Summary

    It’s like they think that Ilya's someone to put up with, rather than someone that Shane wants to spend every waking minute of his life with. Someone that is, in every single fucking way, Shane’s person. Someone that knows exactly how to make him laugh and someone he doesn’t have to hide his quirks from and someone who allows his own asshole side to shine when Shane wants it to.

    Shane loves Ilya, is in love with him. It’s just that Ilya is also his best friend.

    Or, 5 times that Shane gets annoyed by people thinking he's supposed to control Ilya, and 1 time he finally says something about it.

    Summary

    Ilya blinked at the page for a moment, then looked up at Shane and laughed.

    Shane immediately grew defensive. "Oh, fuck you! I was trying to be nice." He pulled the book back, but Ilya stopped him when he turned to walk away.

    "Shane Hollander."

    "What?"

    "Privet. Hello."

    "Oh." Shane's pronunciation hadn't been remotely close. "And what about...?" He pointed to the Russian phrase he'd overly-ambitiously tried first.

    "Dobroye utro."

    "Ah. Good morning," Shane said sheepishly.

    "Good morning," Ilya repeated with the most genuine smile Shane had seen from him yet.

    - - - - -

    Ilya Rozanov, rising star of the Soviet Union's infamous Red Army team shocked the world in 1989 when he suddenly defected to Canada to play for a mediocre MLH team.

    Shane Hollander, underappreciated and deeply closeted third-liner on said team, was perhaps the most shocked of everyone. The cocky Russian phenom hadn't made the best impression on Shane during a brawl at World Juniors a couple years prior, but when a noticeably sullen Ilya arrived in their locker room, Shane couldn't help but reach out to him.
