    Summary

    Another stretch of silence settles. Comfortable. Safe. And maybe that’s why Shane says it. Because he’s tired. Because Ilya’s hand is still moving gently through his hair. Because this apartment is the only place in the world where he sometimes forgets to keep things locked behind his teeth.

    “The director said my face looked too full on camera today.”

    The words leave him absentmindedly, quiet enough to almost disappear beneath the sound of rain. But the hand in his hair stops immediately. And Shane realizes, far too late, that he shouldn’t have said anything at all. For the silence that follows feels wrong instantly. Not quiet. Not comfortable. Sharp.

    Shane feels Ilya go still beneath him, every trace of sleepiness gone in the span of a second. The hand resting at the back of his neck tightens slightly before slipping away altogether.

    “What?” Ilya asks.

    Summary

    “What happened?” Ilya asked, stepping closer, brows pulling together.

    Shane looked up, still processing, eyes wide in a way Ilya had never seen before.

    “I’ve been traded,” he said, the words landing heavy between them. “It’s done.”

    ___________

    OR: Shane loses his phone at the 2017 All-stars game in Tampa and months later explicit videos are leaked and Shane’s life is flipped upside down. He and Ilya must confront their feelings for each other and Shane decides that maybe he’d be happier on a different team ;)

    Summary

    “I’ve…seen you around campus and it’s good to finally meet you. Like, properly.” He fumbled over the words, his tongue feeling thick and heavy and entirely too big for his mouth. Whether it was from the weed or the nerves from Ilya's presence, Shane couldn't tell.

    “I’ve seen you, too.” Ilya grabbed the cigarette from behind his ear, bringing it to his mouth before lighting it.

    “Really?” He watched as Ilya took a long inhale from the cigarette. Shane wanted to say something in that moment, something about how mixing alcohol, weed, and nicotine was probably a bad idea, but the words died in his throat as Ilya blew out smoke from the corner of his mouth and grinned at him. He looked so fucking good.

    Da, Shane Hollander.” Shane fought back a shiver as his name fell from Ilya’s lips. He loved how Ilya’s voice had wrapped around the vowels, long drawn out and quiet. He wanted to hear it again and again.

    or, Shane Hollander has had a crush on Ilya Rozanov from afar for the past three years. They finally meet at a party.
