    Summary

    "Why," The officer repeats, leaning forward, "Were you at his apartment? You have to admit, it's pretty strange to—"

    "We're together." Shane interrupts, tone flat. It doesn't make his stomach churn to say it out loud. It doesn't make him want to shrink into the uncomfortable plastic chair he's sitting in. "We had a three-day stretch with no games, so I was staying with him."

    The officer bristles. He has a nametag, but Shane has no interest in reading it. He seems, overall, unconvinced. Shane supposes if he was a cop who was clearly awful at his job and stuck on the night shift, he'd probably be just as miserable.

    "Okay," He sighs, "Let's start again. Tell us what happened, from the beginning."

    Summary

    Hollander’s nails are clean and trimmed, his knuckles a little reddened. From the cold, not a fight, of course. Shane Hollander would not be one of those types of guys.

    Ilya wonders what it would take to make him one.

    or: Ilya needs to be touched. Provoking other players into hitting him has always been the easiest way, has always worked. Until Shane Hollander.
