Summary
Shane Hollander has a secret boyfriend, and it’s not Ilya Rozanov. That’s for the best, though, because Shane’s boyfriend is absolutely perfect on paper. He’s also completely on board with the need to keep their relationship out of the press to avoid ruffling any feathers at the MHL commissioner’s office.
There’s only one problem with Shane’s boyfriend. He’s not Ilya Rozanov.
(Canon divergence where Ilya and Shane do separate photo shoots pre-rookie season and never hook up. Somehow. So then Shane has a “normal” dating life.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Shane was skating out onto the ice for warmups when he saw him. Ilya had actually come to his game. Shane waved, stupidly, and that’s when he noticed Ilya was wearing a Hollander jersey.
“Shane?” Hayden’s voice was in his ear as his hand grabbed his arm. “You’re about to skate into a wall.”
“Yeah,” Shane said distantly.
“Maybe this was a bad idea.”
“What idea?” Shane asked. From the other side of the plexiglass, Ilya winked. Shane felt his entire body heat up in response.
“We have to play hockey,” Hayden said, overly loud, as if he wasn’t standing right next to Shane.
“Uh-huh.”
“We’re doomed.”
“No.” Shane snapped out of his trance. “We’re going to win.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Cliff found Ilya by proximity rather than intention. He had moved away from Pyke by maybe ten feet, and Ilya was already in motion, not toward the boards, not toward the trainers, but around. Circling at the edge of the allowed zone, the way you circled when you needed to be doing something and every available action had been taken away from you.
He was yelling at an official. Then at a trainer who was too far away to hear. Then at no one.
Cliff had seen Ilya angry before. He had seen Ilya furious before, the contained kind and the real kind, and this was neither. This was different. This was Ilya Rozanov with absolutely no version of control available to him and the absence of it stark and visible in every movement, in the set of his jaw and the way he turned and turned again like if he kept moving he could find a position from which this was solvable.
He couldn't fix this.
That was the thing Cliff kept coming back to. Ilya could fix almost everything through force of will and talent and the kind of competitive intelligence that operated about three moves ahead of most people in the league. But Hollander was on the ice, and the trainers were doing their job, and Ilya was circling the perimeter of a situation that had no entry point for him.

Bookmarker's Notes
“People who believe that they are strong-willed and the masters of their destiny can only continue to believe this by becoming specialists in self-deception.”
Shane remembers reading that sentence about five times. It hit him so close to home. Like someone smashed him into the boards. Everyone told him he could do anything because of his will. Of course he can, but he also knows that the only way he’s done that so far is putting parts of himself in a box. “And I have no clue who I am hiding.”
Ilya shrugs. “So you find out. I’m sure the Shane you are, is close to this Shane, but maybe less stressed.”
Shane laughs softly. “That sounds fucking terrible. You sure there isn't another way to find out?”
Reaching forward, Ilya cups his cheek. “No, but you are very brave.”
Tears start to fill his eyes at Ilya's earnestness. “I don’t think I am. I ran away from everyone. I’ve run from you. This is all just some nightmare.”
“This doesn’t mean you are not brave. You just have to wake up first, and maybe you have.” Ilya shrugs and drops the hand from his cheek.

“Why are you so sure he’ll reject you? He was already fucking in love with you, Roz, literally all of us knew it, it was clear just from how he looked at his fucking phone—”
“That was— That was a fucking miracle, Pike. Miracles don’t happen twice.”

Bookmarker's Notes
“Just because you hate yourself doesn’t mean everyone else does,” Pike says bluntly, gesticulating like he’s angry, like this is a fight. “And just because you hate yourself doesn’t mean Shane is going to.”
“Pike—” Ilya tries, but his voice is weak.
“He fell in love with you,” Pike insists, coming closer until he’s touching his finger to Ilya’s chest, poking him pointedly. “He’s still in love with you, even if he doesn’t know it, okay? That’s not, like, some fluke, man.”
[...]
“He doesn’t even remember any of it,” he says softly. Pike throws his hands.
“Yeah, he didn’t remember my daughter either,” he says. “He didn’t remember that his grandma died, or that his teammate got married— he was at the wedding, by the fucking way— and he didn’t remember that his uncle moved to a different country.”
They’re close now, close enough that Ilya can see a light scatter of freckles on his nose. He kind of hopes the kids got that from him, and then he kind of misses his own dad, which is insane, because his dad was a bag of shit that didn’t leave anything to miss. Maybe Ilya just mourns having a dad— having one at all, but also the potential of having a good one. The Pike kids are lucky, he thinks.
“He forgot important things,” Pike says, oblivious to it. “You’re important.”
He blurs in Ilya’s eyes as they sting.
“He loves you,” Pike says softly, insistently, reaching to jostle him a little, almost teasing, fond. “Just let him.”

Summary
Ilya snorts and it’s a bitter, ugly sound, “What do you care?”
“You’re Shane’s Jackie,” is the only thing he can think of to accurately explain. He shrugs, “That means I’m legally obligated to give a shit. You don’t have to tell me, I guess, but if you want to…” Hayden trails off for a second, for the first time actually feeling the age difference between the two of them. “I’m a good listener.”

Bookmarker's Notes
He starts making his way back to the door, all awkward in his gear, and Hayden purposefully waits until he’s at the door to say, “Rozanov, wait!”
Ilya turns around and if Hayden didn’t know any better, he’d say he looks like he’s hoping for a hug. “You must really like me or something,” Hayden throws out there, a jibe and a peace offering all at once. “To be in here.”
“Bah,” Ilya scoffs and rolls his eyes dramatically as he swings the locker room door open, “Fifteenth best player on Metro’s? Please, Pike.”
“Love you too, buddy!”
“Go fuck yourself, Hayden.”
