    Some people wanted a fic based on this tweet of my #DontYouDareFuckingFreeMe fic:

    Josh @mtrlfan703

    I’ll be honest and admit that if those two had made out on the ice before this, I would have assumed they had lost a bet.

    JayJason @Youdon’tknowme

    ‘Losing a bet’ would have let them get away with so much, though… Like why are you at your rival's game? I lost a bet. Why are you wearing your rival's jersey? I lost a bet. Why are you hanging out together? I lost a bet. Why are you making him breakfast in bed? I lost a bet. 

    Josh @mtrlfan703

    Hell, I’d have believed it if they said they got drunk and their teammates dared them to get married in Vegas.

    JayJason @Youdon’tknowme

    ‘First one to annul the marriage loses’ and no one is surprised when they end up sharing a tombstone…

    So I decided to try and write it.

  2. Ilya needs to date a guy and get dumped in less than a week. Luckily Shane Hollander has impossibly high standards and a track record of quick turnarounds.

    Shane needs to prove he can date a guy for a whole ten days. Luckily Ilya Rozanov has a reputation for being a no-maintenance boyfriend who will be easy to put up with for a couple weeks.

    What could possibly go wrong?

  6. “No loopholes,” Wyatt says. “No ‘technically that was a forehead’ nonsense.” Ilya gasps. “No, no no. . .” he starts. “Deal.” Shane says. He glances at Ilya and there’s a flicker there; challenge accepted. Ilya’s grin turns sharp. “Fine. No kissing. All day. Is easy.” he shrugs. (ie. shane and ilya make a bet with their teammates but end up having an unexpected turn of events during the day)

  8. Ilya hums, playing the card he's been considering for this entire conversation. “We could make more interesting, yes? A bet.”

    “A bet,” Shane repeats, eyes flashing. “Like what?”

    The reporter cuts in. “What about wearing the other player’s jersey?”

    They both turn to her, and Shane says, “Like, the loser wears the winner’s jersey?”

    “Maybe at the next game in a couple of months?”

    “Is a good idea,” Ilya muses, nudging Shane’s elbow. “You will look better in my jersey than in Montreal jersey.”

    Shane makes a low noise, his eyes holding a bit of a spark when he looks back to Ilya. It’s what Ilya was hoping for—the tiniest crack in the mask. He can see a hint of exasperated affection around the corners of Shane’s eyes, a little bit of fire burning just beneath the surface. It sends a thrill down Ilya’s spine, and he wonders if Shane will be snarky when Ilya gets him naked tonight.

    “That’s not happening,” Shane replies, shaking his head. “Because you’re not winning.”

    Ilya should have known better.

  9. He snagged a cue stick from the wall and set up the break. Leaned over the table and rolled the polished wood between his fingers, getting a feel for its weight. Then, with one eye closed, he lined up the shot like a rifle and struck, watching the balls scatter like shrapnel. It was one of his best breaks yet, and Shane lifted his head instinctively, half-hoping one of his roommates had appeared at exactly the right moment. Instead, he found the bartender. OR: Bartender Ilya Rozanov challenges university student Shane Hollander to a game of pool (inspired by that one picture of Hudson playing pool — iykyk)

  10. “And the both of you just assumed that, what? Jackie and I would just play along? Did either of us even factor into this stupid thing, outside of making us cum?” Shane asks, crossing his arms. He looks annoyed, one of Ilya's favorite emotions to see painted across his face. “Or was this all about your giant fucking ego?”

    Ilya smirks, and Shane groans, throwing a pillow at his face. “Don't even fucking start.”

    “Me?” Ilya says, buzzed and happy, thrilled to be irritating Shane as always. “Ego is not the only thing giant about me.”

    OR: Hayden & Ilya make a bet. Shane (and Jackie) win.

  12. When Shane slips into the hotel room in Boston, there's a familiar jersey spread over the bed —Raiders, number 81, Rozanov in stark white lettering jeering up at him. "Not a chance," Shane says immediately. Or, Ilya fucks Shane while Shane wears his jersey.
