    Shane and Ilya each raise the other's shoe.

     

     

    Harris: Ooooo! You disagree!

    Ilya: Shane. We both know that it was you.

    Summary

    After the longest season of his career, Ilya retreats to the cottage with Shane, expecting rest, recovery, and a month of stolen peace. Instead, exhaustion lingers. Small things feel wrong. And the body that has always carried him through pain begins to falter in ways he can’t explain.

    As concern grows and outside eyes begin to notice, the life Ilya and Shane have carefully built—careers, borders, futures—starts to feel fragile. When a medical crisis shatters their summer before answers arrive, love is no longer something they protect quietly. It becomes something they fight with.

    A story about what happens when the body speaks before you’re ready to listen, and the people who refuse to let you face it alone.

    Summary

    “Yes, yes, was very brave. Only important thing Scott Hunter has ever done. Do not know why you need to bring this up every time,” Ilya grumbles. 
    “But when did you first kiss?” Luca asks.
    “Ah, my sweet innocent rookie. I love that you think this is all we did,” Ilya tells him. Shane hides his face in Ilya’s shoulder. “Your guess was close, Haasy. Shane and I, we met in hotel gym after draft. I gave him some of my water, because I am nice person and he did not bring any. Was very sexually charged.”
    “Ilya!” Shane complains, voice muffled by the fact that he’s still hiding in said man’s shoulder. 
    “What? Is true. But anyway, we first kissed,” Ilya emphasizes the word so that it’s very clear that was not all they did, “summer before our rookie season, after commercial shoot.”
    For a moment, there’s silence as everyone does the math and lets that sink in. Then: “2010?!?!?”

     

    How the Centaurs find out Shane and Ilya's relationship start date.

    Summary

    Shane is the one naked and dripping wet, and he still feels like Ilya is the one who exudes sex. Just standing there, brushing his teeth. When Shane turns off the water, Ilya hands him a towel and then turns around to rinse his mouth with the hotel mouth wash. He leaves the bathroom before Shane is done, and this is the moment where a tiny inkling Shane has ignored all day becomes a full blown suspicion.

    Or:

    Shane and Ilya are having trouble balancing their very private relationship and their very public lives.

    Summary

    Scott doesn’t know what to make of Rozanov still. He’d appreciated him showing up at that bar in Vegas, had curiously watchedhim dance with men with all the air of someone who knew what he was doing, had shaken off the weirdness of watching Ilya Rozanov in a gay bar in Vegas pull another man in by the belt loops and ghost a breath over his ear. He thinks Rozanov went home alone that night. He’s not sure. He doesn’t know which answer would surprise him more.
