    Summary

    "Come in.” the boy says impatiently, his Russian enviably flawless.

    Sorry.” Shane mutters back. He’s still working on his vocabulary, but years of listening to Ilya muttering in Russian whenever they were together has given him a pretty good ear for the accent.

    “You speak Russian?” the boy demands in rapid Russian. “Do you know what’s going on? Where am I? Where’s my Mama? Who is this fucker?”

    “Slowly, please. I am learning. Say it again, please.” Shane replies with deliberate care, stepping into the hotel room and closing the door. “And don’t say fucker.”

    Summary

    “Are you okay, babe?” Jackie asks.

    Is Hayden okay? Good question.

    It’s not like he’s a prude. He and Jackie have four kids, for heaven’s sake.

    It’s just that he will never be able to un-hear the words he overheard Rozanov saying to Shane in the kitchen.

    “Uh-huh, yeah. Super okay,” Hayden says.

    “Right. I definitely believe you when you speak in that voice.”

    “Are you, like.” Oh god. “Like. Satisfied?”

    Or, five times Shane and Ilya inspire others to question how they approach their own relationships, and one time they don’t.

    Summary

    Ilya chuckles. “You don’t know why the team might be scared of you? You cannot think of any reason?”

    “Scared? Of me?” Shane says.

    “Yes. They adore you. But they are terrified.”

    “But – but why? What did I do?”

    Ilya pretends to think. “Hmm. What did you do? Maybe it was the first Stanley Cup. Or the second. Or the third. Or your MVP wins. Or every single fucking game you have ever played in your life. You are Shane fucking Hollander. Did you forget?”

    ---

    Or, five times Shane scares the Centaurs, and one time he (accidentally) terrifies them.

    Summary

    Ilya taps ashes off the end of his cig, ignoring Shane’s repeated glance between his fingers and his face. But he makes sure—because he is nothing if not a sucker for a little bit of attention—to rub his lips against each other before wetting them with his tongue, then placing the cigarette back in his mouth. Hopes that the curve of his mouth around it isn’t as offputting as Hollander seems intent to pretend it is. I got you, Hollander, he thinks. I get it, I get how it feels to realize you want something. To have it be undefinable until someone else spells it out for you.
