  2. There was a time when Shane felt like he had only really even seen Ilya in semi-darkness: the lights on the Vegas strip, a dimly lit hotel room, the shitty fluorescence of the stairway outside the condo where they’d meet in Montreal. It’s not true, of course. He saw Ilya on the well-lit ice before anywhere else, in front of crowds and cameras, on red carpets and stages. But for years it had felt like the real Ilya was the one he got glimpses of in the stolen hours before one of them had to leave. Ilya is beautiful in the light. Or: childhood bedrooms, chickpea-flour pasta, and early morning workouts.

  3. “Yeah, the assholes usually are. I mean, Rozanov is just so unfairly hot. He really does not deserve to be so attractive,” complained Scott. Oh, god. Ilya could never find out about this. He’d never shut up. “You think he’s hot?” Shane asked in despair, and then immediately regretted it. Scott raised his eyebrows in disbelief, as if to say, Are you fucking with me right now? ---- Shane is invited to hangout with Scott and the Kingfisher crew, and finds out that they all think his secret boyfriend is hot. Which he is. So why is Shane so bothered right now?

  6. Shane rolls his eyes. Ilya chuckles. He’s finished his pizza so he leans back in his chair, watching his boyfriend do his skin care. “You are lucky you are very cute,” Ilya tells him. Ilya loves the way Shane gets all shy and smiley when he compliments him. “You don’t have to watch me do my skin care,” Shane tells him as he uses some kind of rolling thing on his face. “No, but I want to see you and you are doing skin care so I watch you do it,” Ilya says. “But you have too many steps,” he adds after seeing the cute blush on Shane’s face. OR Ilya FaceTimes Shane one night and catches him in the middle of his skin care routine where he decides to tease Ilya during it.

  8. Alone in his room, Ilya smiled. Not the public-facing smirk he used as a mask in daily conversation, not the silly slant he offered teammates and staff. No, this was a real, big goofy smile. A smile he’d unconsciously tucked away for months, maybe even years. It almost felt foreign to smile this big. He needed to call Shane. With a sigh, Shane set his book on the nightstand. He couldn’t focus on it at all, so he might at least try to sleep. After checking his phone—no texts from his fiancé—and turning off the light, he laid down to sleep. About five minutes later, his phone rang.
