    Summary

    Asking for it is what feels impossible. He’s spent more than half of his life loving Shane Hollander, and he knows that there’s nothing he could do that would make Shane judge him. They’ve blurred the lines between who controls who, but giving up power to this level is new to both of them. He’s Ilya Rozanov, one of the most fearsome players in the league. He’s not supposed to want to crawl and kneel for his husband.

    After Vegas, Ilya wonders what it might feel like to be in Shane's place.

    Summary

    A what if, where Hayden's accidental outing of Shane and Ilya happens while Ilya is in Russia.

    “I didn’t even know I was feeling that this until today when Ilya sent me-,” Ilya. Ilya is with his niece. His niece who lives in Russia.

    Suddenly, the whole world stopped. It felt like all the oxygen in the room had been sucked right out, Shane’s whole body went stiff, all the color drained from his face.

    “Ilya sent you?” His dad said tentatively, sensing the rising tension.

    Shane could feel the panic rising in his chest. It felt like his lungs were filling with water. The panic attack that everyone expected from the outing was now hitting, and not because he was outted, but because Ilya was. Because Ilya was outted, in Russia. Shane tried to control his breathing, squeezing his eyes shut, digging his fingernails into his palms.

    “Shane, what about Ilya?” Yuna tried again, her voice calm. Steady.

    “Ilya’s in Russia,” Shane croaked out, tears filling his eyes. By the time Shane opened his eyes, he could see that the color drained in the three of their faces as well.
