    Summary

    What if David and Yuna had both gone to the cottage to retrieve that phone charger? What if they crept in very quietly (because silent meditation retreat) and found their son fast asleep on the couch, snuggled up with his arch-rival, Ilya Rozanov?

    Summary

    Shane could deny it – he could try to pretend the man in the audio whimpering for more isn’t him, that it’s a scam, that it was fake or edited. He could get lawyers involved, or take it to the press before anything leaks and control the narrative himself. But he doesn’t know how much more the blackmailer has, and he can’t risk Ilya getting outed or deported or – well, he can’t risk Ilya.
    *Shane and Ilya don't get caught at the cottage. But they still get caught.

    Summary

    Shane get's drunk on a night out in Boston with the Metro's, and Ilya is the only one who can get him to leave the club.

    "Hollander, no.” Ilya says as he pulls Shane's head to his chest. He begins stroking his cheek, wiping away the tears while he's there. “I don't hate you. I could never hate you. Never. Okay?”

    Summary

    It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.

    But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.

    (how ilya learns about shane's food allergies) (and how shane learns what it's like to have someone who always saves him a seat at the table) (and who also makes sure there's food he can eat on the table to start with)

    Summary

    “Ya loobloo ty—” Shane tries to repeat the Russian phrase that Ilya has told him more than once in the last five minutes but Ilya cuts him off abruptly. 

    “I love you.” 

    The numbers on Shane’s heart monitor skyrocket, so much that Yuna is tempted to call a nurse, or maybe take the elevator to the roof and scream until her throat is raw because this can’t be the real world, this must be some weird, crazy dream her mind must have come up with after too much wine.

    Ya tebya lyublyu,” Ilya says again. “Means I love you.” 

    After Marlow’s hit, in his confused state, Shane begs the trainers to tell Ilya that he is okay but they think Shane wants Ilya to come to the hospital with him, so they get him. And Ilya… goes.
