Forever, Shane wanted to say. Forever if you ask. And that was the problem, wasn’t it? Shane was in too deep, in over his head. Sure, Ilya would entertain the idea of possibly being more for these two weeks, but after that? He would go back home, to Boston, to his incomparably talented team, to his roster of other lovers. Ones with no repercussions. Ones that he could share everything with; ones that he could take out into the world, could love openly, loudly, without shame. --------- or, 5 times Shane and Ilya didn't say everything they wanted to, and 1 time they finally did

"No," Ilya said, when Shane took a first step in his direction. "You are dog. You have to… what's the word? Walk with four legs." "Crawl?" Shane choked out, feeling his cheeks turn beet red. "Yes, that. Crawl." or, when Ilya gets Shane a dog collar, what can Shane do but prove he's a good boy?

He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop. He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess. Shane is making space for Ilya. (or, lessons in budget-friendly shopping, home decor, and resisting the urge to neatly combine all your situationship’s shit into a drawer in your bedroom because you might be falling in love with him: a seven-ish step guide by shane hollander, who is so, so fucked)

“I want you to fuck me, Rozanov,” is the first thing Shane says as soon as the door closes behind him. “Hello to you too, Hollander. It’s good to see you. Want some coffee?” — After a bad game, Shane seeks out Ilya to relieve some tension in a purely physical way. Or at least that's what he tells himself. It's not that he wants to be comforted. Definitely not.

They’re not dating. They’re barely even friends. Shane should be in bed preparing for tomorrow’s game. But when Ilya shows up in Nashville wearing a stupid cowboy hat and that dangerous smile, things go from routine to risky: meeting up with Rozanov is a terrible idea. Dancing with him in a crowded bar where anyone could see is worse. But Shane’s never been good at saying no to Rozanov.

So when he typed out on his phone “we didn’t even kiss” with tears rolling down his cheeks, he just wanted to type it. He just wanted to feel it— to feel the pain he had inside of him. That maybe typing it would help let it out, he would type it and the feeling would go away. And the stupid fucking elevator still wasn’t here, and he was forced to sit there and wallow in his sadness. He should’ve thought this through, his hands were still shaking and as he went to delete the text. His clumsy thumb accidentally hit the send button. “Oh fuck.” That snapped Shane out of everything. Or What if Shane accidentally sent the "we didnt even kiss" text to Ilya?

A lull in the conversation passes, though not an unpleasant one. The silence is easy, buzzing with a certain level of casualness, one they so rarely allow themselves. Shane swallows. “I like…this.” Ilya hesitates. “You like buying groceries?”
