    Summary

    Ten minutes passed, and Ilya, who normally could drift off easily, only felt more and more wired. He definitely didn't want sex while the other person was feeling bad. The thought made him nauseous. But he found himself still yearning for the release that came with being with Hollander. If not the physical release, the emotional and mental one. Behind his eyelids, all he could see were those damn freckles.

    Ilya gnawed on his lip and decided to toe a line they haven't crossed yet. Ironically, this was one that usually came way before every other line they've already crossed. He picked back up his phone.

     

    Lily: You are sleeping for a few hours in the hotel.

    Jane: Yeah? And?

    Lily: Does it matter if you are sleeping in your room, or in mine?

    Summary

    Ilya chuckles. “You don’t know why the team might be scared of you? You cannot think of any reason?”

    “Scared? Of me?” Shane says.

    “Yes. They adore you. But they are terrified.”

    “But – but why? What did I do?”

    Ilya pretends to think. “Hmm. What did you do? Maybe it was the first Stanley Cup. Or the second. Or the third. Or your MVP wins. Or every single fucking game you have ever played in your life. You are Shane fucking Hollander. Did you forget?”

    ---

    Or, five times Shane scares the Centaurs, and one time he (accidentally) terrifies them.

    Summary

    "Can I try something?"

    "Yeah, sure, g-go ahead, man." Buck cringes, and even that is adorable.

    "Close your eyes."

    "E-Eddie," Buck croaks helplessly.

    "I'm not gonna bite, Buckley. Trust me?"

    Buck closes his eyes. Squeezes them shut, really.

    Eddie tugs his face into the curve of Buck's shoulder before he can lose the nerve, Buck's pulse fluttering wildly against the tip of Eddie's nose.

    Buck is struggling after the events in New Mexico. Eddie decides to move in with him about it.

    Summary

    “Buck's mind keeps wandering back to a night spent on Eddie’s couch, which feels like it happened a couple of lifetimes ago, when Eddie had stared at the ceiling and apologized for not being able to go into his room while he was in the coma, even though he was in the hospital most of the time. 
    He wonders if that’s how he felt, something trapping him inside dull walls and gray floors. 
    Because Buck can’t move. 
    Can’t leave.
    But he’s not sure would be able to sit by Eddie’s bed while feeling as raw as he does right now, either. 
    He just knows he needs to stay because Eddie and Christopher are somewhere in there, and that means he can’t go.  
    It feels like he’s trapped in a nightmare. He’s been in it since he noticed Eddie’s car.
    He’s not even sure how long he’s been there, all he knows is the sticky feeling the rain has left on his skin.”

    or
    The one where Eddie and Chris get into a car crash, and I make Buck scream, cry, and throw up in no particular order.

    Summary

    "You're really just gonna sit there and act like it didn't happen," he mutters.

    Eddie looks up at him, a small fond smile on his face that's reserved only for Buck.

    "I'm going to marry you someday," Eddie murmurs. "Do you want French toast?"

    Buck nearly chokes on his coffee. There was no way he heard that correctly…right?

    "Uh," he splutters. "What did you just say?"

    "Do you want French toast?"

    "Before that," Buck clarifies.

    "Oh." Eddie's smile only grows wider. "I'm going to marry you someday."

    or: Buck and Eddie share a bed, a kiss, and a pancake. In that order.
