    Summary

    Ilya has a surprise for Shane.

    ----

    “But I want to see you,” Shane whined.

    “Just long enough to get surprise,” Ilya murmured.

    The silk scarf slid snug behind Shane’s head, darkness making Shane breathe faster. Shane swallowed hard as the world narrowed to touch and sound, every nerve straining for proof that Ilya was still there.

    He tilted his head just a fraction, just enough to catch the ghost of movement. Fingers. Long, confident.

    He tugged uselessly at the scarf binding his wrists to the headboard. “Ilya,” he breathed. “You said you wouldn’t tease.”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent years watching Ilya Rozanov take care of everyone in the room except himself. He loves him for it. He's also, if he's being honest, desperately curious what Ilya looks like when someone takes that from him completely.

    Their friends Scott and Kip are spending two weeks at Shane's Ottawa cottage for the off-season. It's warm, it's easy, and somewhere between the dock and the dinner table, Shane and Kip have a conversation that changes the shape of the whole summer.

    Scott Hunter. Who is, according to Ilya, attractive in a very boring, reliable way. Like a golden retriever. Not interesting. Not interesting at all.

    Summary

    The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating. 

    The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice. 

    “I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”

    Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.

    “Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"

    Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little. 

    -
    Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.
