    Hayden cuts himself off at the sound of something he hears so rarely, he’s almost sure he’s imagining it. He scans the room, looking for the source, and sure enough, his eyes land on his target. There, nestled in between two of his teammates on the couch, is Shane Hollander. Laughing. Out loud. Audibly. Like, he’s actually fucking laughing, not the fake laughs he forces out to make other people more comfortable. In fact, he’s laughing so hard, he looks like he might cry, and Hayden would be delighted by the sight of it if he weren’t so fucking concerned. Shane Hollander doesn’t laugh at parties. Shane Hollander barely laughs when he’s actually happy, and he’s never happy at parties. So what gives? Or: Shane Hollander accidentally gets very high. That's it, that's the fic.

    It's Shane's first game playing against Montreal, and he's feeling a lot of things. Ilya's also feeling a lot of things. - “Do not play. Please,” Ilya said, tracing over Shane’s freckles almost reverently. “Are you asking me as my husband, or telling me as my captain?” Shane already knew the answer. Ilya would never order him off the ice against his will unless it was a medical necessity. Ilya’s voice sounded raw as he answered. “Asking. Begging.”

    “I love you,” he says in English. His vision swims with unshed tears. His voice thick with emotion that would have strangled him had he not spoken. Shane’s breath stutters in his chest. His eyes go wide. His mouth falls open. Ilya pulls back, a handful of inches between their faces. “Holy shit,” is all Shane says. He stares at Ilya like he’s seeing him for the first time.

    Five more minutes, Ilya told himself, fighting the slow, sleepy blinks and the dangerous urge that wanted nothing more than to pull the duvet over the two of them. Five more minutes and then I will go. Hollander is asleep, he can’t bitch about any risks. Ilya woke up fifteen minutes later, warm and content. He ignored the feeling as he slid out the bed, his chest tightening at the way Shane grabbed the pillow he was sleeping on and tugged it closer. He quickly got dressed, letting his eyes linger on Shane for a few more seconds before quickly slipping out the room. . Or, in which it takes a therapy session for Ilya to realise that Shane Hollander is his favourite weighted blanket.
