    Summary

    Shane had told his manager, verbatim, that he “trusts her judgment” to pick the opener for his first ever world tour.

    Her “judgment” shows up to soundcheck with a parking ticket in his hand and a crimson hickey on his neck. Her “judgment” is Russian DJ, Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    So in short, Shane’s sitting at the edge of the sofa, without his stupid glasses on even though he needs them, trying to read his stupid book even though he’s already read it several times, ignoring a stupid movie that actually seems kind of fun because Ilya chose it.

    This whole not letting Ilya Rozanov under his skin thing is going swell, in other words. Thank you very much.

    ~

    Shane would've never expected, nor asked, to ever get trapped alone in a confined space with Ilya Rozanov; especially since his captain seems to take specific pleasure in making his presence into Shane's personal slice of hell on earth.

    But when a snow storm intervenes with what was supposed to be a team-bonding trip to the cottage, that is unfortunately exactly what happens. They can be normal about it, probably.

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.
