    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    “Gwaine no!” Merlin called, rising to his knees in a slow move to intervene, only to collapse on all fours. Gwaines’ hand halted. His strike paused in motion and fury bleeding from his eyes as he kept his attention on Arthur.

    “Don’t kill him.” Merlin begged weakly, watching them closely.

    Gwaine swallowed thickly, eyes darting around as he assessed his next move. He brought his sword down slowly, to point it at Arthur again.
