Summary
“Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.
Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.
“Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.
Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.
They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

Summary
Ilya's face split into a wide grin. It made his eyes sparkle. Shane wanted to kiss him very badly. "Oh. Oh. You are very drunk."
"I wouldn't say very drunk. I'm normal drunk." Shane corrected, stepping closer to Ilya until they were barely centimeters apart. Shane reached up and wrapped his arms around Ilya's neck. They were so close and he smelled so good. Shane breathed him in for a second. Fuck, he had missed him so badly. It had only been two weeks, but it felt like forever.
"I missed you too." Ilya whispered. Wait, had Shane said that out loud? Oops. Maybe he was very drunk. "More than you know."
Or, the transition from friends with benefits to lovers is far from seamless.

Summary
“I was wondering if you were up for an interview?” Shane finally asks, trying not to think about how Ilya let his hand slide over his so slowly it was almost lingering when they both pulled away. Shane pulls up his notepad and pen, like showcasing your art materials when your kindergarten teacher tells you to take them out for coloring time. “I write for The Fulcrum.”
Ilya tilts his head, eyebrows furrowing slightly. “But we did not have game today.”
“Yes, uh..” Shane drops his things back down. “It's for a feature article.”
He presses his lips, taking a second before adding, “I wanted to write about you.”
Shane Hollander, a campus journalist, has to write a feature article. Enter Ilya Rozanov, an athlete so popular he was basically the face of the university.
