    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

    Summary

    “Hey,” Dean said. “I’m not ashamed of you, okay?”

    Cas raised skeptical eyes to meet his.

    “I mean it,” Dean insisted.

    “I understand you mean it,” Cas said. “But I don’t think it’s any better if you’re only ashamed of yourself.”

    Summary

    “Just say it, Cas. You don’t want him to turn out like me.”

    It’s a long and torturous minute while Cas reacts silently to what Dean says, weighing his words. Dean begins to panic, thinking maybe this is it. This is the moment Cas walks away.

    The angel speaks confidently. “I want him to love children, Dean. I want him to be clever, and to never underestimate another person. I want him to love family, and be brave, and stubborn enough to invent free will. I want him to know every lyric to every Led Zeppelin song and I want him to care enough that he knows everyone he loves’ favorite meal.”

    Cas’s eyes well up, and the deep breath he takes is so human it makes Dean ache. “I don’t want him to scream himself awake from nightmares every night. I don’t want him to throw up from panic attacks once a month. I don’t want him to have reason to be afraid of someone he loves. I don’t want him to be forty-two before he accepts love. I wanted better than that for you, and I want better than that for him.”

    Summary

    And there’s a pattern to his exhales that Johnny knows well enough to read as: I don’t deserve you. I don’t deserve to say it too.
    But he lets Simon hold him like that, his face pressed against the side of his temple, breathing in the scent of his hair, arms cradling and tightening simultaneously, as if Johnny is both the most precious and most dangerous thing in the living room.
