Summary
Shane grabbed a teaspoon from the drawer next to him and dipped it into the sauce, turning to face Ilya with his hand cupped underneath it to catch the drips. As he moved around the island, Ilya’s pulse picked up again and his brain smashed together a montage of nights like this from some imagined future. Shane cooking for him in their kitchen, offering his creation up for Ilya’s judgement. Maybe there would be a nice playlist on. Maybe the pasta would be actual pasta, not chickpea. Maybe they’d be cooking for more than just the two of them. Christ.
Balancing on the cusp of a something new, Ilya boards a flight to Shane's cottage for two weeks.

Summary
“You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.
“I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”
He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.
When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.
(the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)
(or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

Summary
23 years ago, during a long hot summer in Italy, Shane Hollander fell in love for the first and only time in his life. Now, he and his family are heading back to their Italian summer home for one last gathering. Recently retired from the NHL, learning to live with the teenaged son he found out about six months ago, and carting around his father's ashes because his mother has nightmares about losing them in baggage check, Shane is struggling to find his footing in a post-hockey life he never imagined. And he's definitely not interested in romance or a relationship.
Which is too bad, because Ilya Rozanov has a plane ticket to Italy, his therapist's approval, and one mission: finally tell Shane Hollander how he feels about him.
A story of first loves and second chances, heartbreak and healing, and getting your groove back.

Summary
His next thought was irrational. Stupid, really. But maybe… maybe it was alright if he took just one. A real picture. Besides, no one would ever see it but him, and Shane would never have to know. Not if Ilya never told him about it.
Knowing he can't have Shane the way he wants, Ilya keeps a secret picture of him, soundly asleep in Ilya’s bed after a hookup.
