    Summary

    Before he walked to the showers, he looked up at the muted TV that hung in the locker room where Shane would appear any minute, giving boring, polite answers to rabid reporters.

    Right now, clips from the game were playing, highlights of their victory. The TV was on a shot of Shane’s first goal sailing clean into the net, Ilya crashing into his arms afterwards to kiss the side of his helmet. Then it cut to a shot of Rose, Yuna, and David in the crowd. Rose was jumping up and down, spinning to look at the people behind her in the box as she cheered, the Hollander name clear on her back.

    Ilya looked back down. His eyes fell to the jersey Shane had folded moments before, still waiting in a little square on his bench. Pointlessly neat, considering it would be gathered and tossed in with the rest of the other team’s laundry after the game.

    Ilya found himself stuffing it into his bag without a second thought.

    Or,

    Feelings of jealousy inspire Ilya to wear Shane’s jersey for him for the first time.

    Summary

    Ilya spent most of his life believing love was something he had to earn.

    Shane spends years showing him that it never was.

    Five moments where Shane loves Ilya in all the quiet ways that matter, and one moment where Ilya finally understands that, piece by piece, he was never as broken as he thought he was.

    Summary

    "Shane Hollander," he said. "We are lying in the very comfortable bed you bought for me to fuck you in, in the very weird condo you bought, also for me to fuck you in."

    "It's an investment," Shane grumbled.

    "And I have just fucked you, I think, very well," Rozanov continued. "At least I do not remember any complaints."

    He swung his body easily across the bed, pinning Shane in place.

    "No complaints," Shane huffed, almost a laugh. "No complaints here."

    "So why the fuck," Rozanov said into the soft skin beneath Shane's ear, "are you asking me about other men?"

    ------

    Or: Shane thinks what he needs to do is fuck another man. Just to see. Just to know. Just to test if it's only Rozanov who can make him feel this way.

    But he has no idea how to go about fucking a stranger without it immediately becoming a story in the tabloids.

    And he can think of only one person to ask for advice. So, in a post-coital haze, he makes the obvious move: he asks Ilya Rozanov, his extremely casual fuckbuddy, for advice on how to pick up other men.

    Summary

    “You look terrible actually.”

    “Well I am not pretty like you, this is something I must live with everyday.” Ilya retorted sleepily.

    “Ilya.”

    “Hmmm.” Ilya stirred as he heard his name called, and it sounded like it may not have been the first time Shane had said it.

    “You actually feel like you may have a temperature.” Shane's voice hovered above him somewhere, blurry around the edges and laced with worry.

    “I’m fine.” Ilya responded immediately, but his voice broke in betrayal and he knew it didn’t sound very convincing.

    “You’re hot.” Shane responded, hand now pressing against Ilya’s forehead.

    “Of course I am.” Ilya swatted his hand away, and tried his best to look perfectly fine. Because he was fine. Totally fine. Maybe he did just need to get up and eat something.

    Shane narrowed his eyes at him. “No, you feel like you have a fever, you idiot.”

     

    or

     

    Ilya has just wrapped up his time in Boston with a week long bender in recognition.
    Now, in the safe space of the Cottage, he’s crashing hard. Thankfully he has Shane there to panic, stress and force feed him medication in his time of need…something he hasn’t had in quite a while.

    Summary

    Jason’s frown deepened. “You’re… not gay?”

    “No,” Nico replied patiently, beginning to calm down a little before a thought occurred to him and his heart rate sped up once again. “But… does everyone think I’m gay now?”

    His roommate rolled his eyes. “Gee, I don’t know, Nico, it’s not as if you’ve told every girl on campus that you are.”

     

    Nico pretends he's gay to ward off unwanted company--his plan works a little too well.
