    Summary

    Shane felt something twist in his chest— not guilt, exactly, but something adjacent, something that tasted like recognition. He arched a brow, the corner of his mouth twitching toward a smirk that he hoped looked more confident than it felt. "You're insane," he exclaimed, keeping his voice light, dismissive. "Your high cholesterol is making you insane. You really wanted me to tell Jules that I was the reason her best friend's marriage ended? Because you decided to fuck me? Be grateful Veronica didn't walk away with half your shit in the divorce, Ilya."

    METROS MANAGEMENT UNHAPPY WITH CAPTAIN’S CHARITY WORK
    Rumours are swirling that the Montreal Metros front office are pressuring team captain, Shane Hollander, to withdraw from the charity he recently founded with Boston Raiders captain, Ilya Rozanov. Sources close to the Metros, who have asked not to be named due to fears of retaliation, report that Metros management are unhappy that Hollander launched his own charity instead of channeling his efforts into official Metros charity projects.

    The Metros PR team declined to comment when approached for this article.

    Summary

    Shane knows it’s not a good time to have this conversation. He should wait until they’re not both tired from a stretch of tough games, until he’s not exhausted from having all the Centaurs over for the day. He should wait until he can’t feel anger simmering inside him and his shoulders aren’t tense. That’s probably why he doesn’t wait.

    “Stop trying to make me be friends with Troy Barrett.”

    Summary

    And so here he sat on his couch, staring intently at his boyfriend’s face as he waited for an answer.
    “Okay.”
    Ilya felt his eyes light up as he took in the word, something so simple yet so joyous to him right now. “Really?” he asked, still not believing he was agreeing.
    Shane nodded, waiting a moment before replying, “Obviously as friends, but you trust them, and I trust you.”
    Ilya felt a smile break across his face, too happy to be embarrassed by how much this affected him.

     

    or:
    What if Shane agreed to go to Bood's Boxing Day party with Ilya, and a drunken game of Never Have I ever ensues?
