Summary
Henry still has his dark days sometimes. They’re rare, but they happen. But Alex knows that this? Isn’t that.
This is Henry, his sentimental poet, his soft-heart, the man who made himself expert at crafting letters and numbers and Pokemon out of pancake batter, realizing all over again that he’s the father of the bride. Of the nearlywed, Alex corrects himself.
Day-of is going to be brutal, Alex thinks, as he sinks down on the dusty wooden floor next to Henry and leans into him.
“Jesus, you’re such a fucking sap, baby,” he says, dropping his head onto Henry’s shoulder.

Summary
Once outside, he leaned forward and put his hand against the cold stone wall. His phone was still to his ear, the message still recording.
“Ilya. Please. Please. I can’t do this. I don’t know what to do. Please. You can’t be dead.” His voice broke on the word. “I love you. I love you so much. More than anything. I need to hear your voice. I need you to…I need you…I need you…fuck. Please Ilya, please.”
Shane took the phone away from his ear and held it between both hands as though he were praying. He realized he was on the floor and didn’t know how he got there. He was crying. He was fairly certain he was hyperventilating.
His brain was desperately trying to grab at anything. Any thread of logic. Any idea of what to do next.
I have to see him.
Yes. That made sense. Shane needed to get to Tampa. Now. He would go there. He would find Ilya. Ilya would be fine. They would be together. He would see him. Tell him how much he loved him. He had to go. He had to go now.
***
OR: What if Ilya lost his phone during the emergency landing, Shane couldn't reach him, he panicked, and chartered a plane to Tampa to find him instead...

Summary
So. Here’s the thing. Auston never meant for any of this to happen. He had a plan for his life and his career and it never once looked anything remotely close to how it’s currently taking a hairpin turn and threatening to spin out of control. He never meant to end up wanting things he can’t stand to even think about without feeling sick, never meant to deviate from the safe path he’s created for himself, never meant to mix hockey – the only thing he’s sure of in life – with the one thing he’s sure he’ll always despise, never meant to look at a person he felt like he’s known forever and suddenly be struck with the realization he’s never really understood them at all. He thought he could handle whatever the hell kind of new havoc Mitch was bringing into his life; see it strictly as temptation without slipping, without breaking the rules.
And you know something else? He was a fucking idiot.

Summary
Jamie narrows his eyes like Trevor is being a jerk.
But then: “We always go to Tim’s after practice. I can ask if you guys can come?”
Trevor shrugs, but also wants to go. His mom might say no. Probably has some reason they shouldn’t, like a boring errand to do.
He holds his hot chocolate in his hands and sits next to Jamie and they watch last night’s Rangers highlights on Jamie’s mom’s phone, and Trevor chirps Jamie for having sugar on his face from his boring sour cream glazed donut.
