    Summary

    The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating. 

    The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice. 

    “I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”

    Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.

    “Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"

    Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little. 

    -
    Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.

    Summary

    “Hi, I’m Buck, a firefighter with the 136,” for now, the thought crashes through Buck, leaving a sour taste in his mouth. “Uh, you’re both welcome to take a tour with us, if you’d like.” Buck awkwardly scratches at his neck, running a hand through his hair, unsure what else to do, and it spurs the man in front of him to take a large step forward up to Buck’s bed.

    “Eddie,” he says, thrusting a hand to him, and Buck reaches over without a second thought. His whole palm feels electric, it smarts and carries the touch of Eddie, Eddie, that Buck feels it completely. He has no idea what’s happening to him. “Edmundo Diaz, but just Eddie though, uh, no one calls me Edmundo. Right. I’m a new nurse here, at Cedars-Senai. Oh –”

    ***

    When Daniel Buckley lives a little longer, Evan Buckley dies a little more. And this is how Eddie Diaz saves him, a little later on.

    Summary

    Tim, coming up behind Bruce, suddenly lets out a bloodcurdling scream.

    Bruce looking slowly over his shoulder, says deadpan, “Yes, son, very good. That’s fleek.”

    “I’m gonna yeet you into the fucking sun,” Tim shouts.

    Summary

    That’s what made Shane freeze, because if he was quiet and small then he could escape.

    Escape what? Ilya? They’re hockey players, they’re loud and rough and brash, it’s normal for them. It’s practically a love language they’ve been learning for over a decade. They barely argue either, nothing real, nothing concrete that isn’t just a softer version of chirping. The only time it’s been real lately was -

    Oh, he thinks as he grips the countertop so tightly his knuckles are bone white, I did this.

    -

    Or, after the Boxing Day fight and the almost plane crash, Shane and Ilya are finally together again. It takes two weeks for everything they've built to nearly break.
