    Summary

    shane gets sick before a game against boston... looks like he wont be seeing ilya later (unless???) ft. ilya bringing shane russian food

     

    ----
    He hadn’t told Rozanov, why would he? They’d exchanged their usual quips in the days leading up to the game, riffing about who would win, how many goals they’d score. But underlying it all was the knowledge that they’d end the night in each other’s arms. Shane refused to admit it, but that might have been part of the reason he was so determined not to get sick. If it was any other game, any other team… It had been four months since he’d seen Rozanov. Four months of convincing himself he would finally end it, while simultaneously counting down the days until they would see each other again-- until this game. A game Shane would not be attending.

    Summary

    “Hollander.” Shane’s head snaps back to his left. Ilya is much closer, pace slightly hurried. “Come here.” His voice sort of mimics the way one would talk to an animal paralyzed in fight-or-flight. Shane is not sure what to make of that.

    He slowly turns his head in the opposite direction, where his vision tunnels on the door for the stairwell. It almost glows like a special item in a video game, like a hint. Without giving himself time to doubt, he bolts.

    “Wha- Hollander, what the fuck!” Ilya shouts in audible disbelief, and Shane distinctly hears matching thuds of frantic footsteps behind him; Ilya is chasing after him. Shane runs faster, positively sprinting at this point. He’s the fastest skater in the NHL right now. He can do this. He flings the door open and bounds down the steps two at a time, hitting the walls with each turn of a corner. If he eats shit on this filthy floor and embarrasses himself in front of Ilya, he thinks, he’ll never let himself see the light of day ever again.

    or alternatively, in which Shane accidentally sends the text, and Ilya chases after him. Like, actually chases after him.

    Summary

    “How do I work the coffee machine,” Ilya says tonelessly, more plea than question.

    “You don’t work the coffee machine,” Svetlana tells him, words coming slowly. She looks confused, sounds bewildered, and Ilya does not have time for this.

    “I need to make a coffee,” he hisses, gaze flicking back to the man at the counter, lost in his phone, “for the love of my life.”

    Svetlana’s eyebrows jump up. “Excuse me?”

    Or, Ilya just wants a break. Shane just wants a coffee. Somehow, they find each other.

    Summary

    Shane isn't learning Russian because of Rozanov. He's not. Is it nice that he now knows the sweet things Rozanov tells him in Russian during sex? Definitely.

    But he's not doing it for Rozanov.

    Or Shane starts learning Russian because one of his rookies doesn't speak a lot of English, and he tries to convince himself that it's the only reason why.
