    Summary

    “You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.

    “I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”

    He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.

    When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.

    (the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)

    (or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

    Summary

    Hayden Pike loves his best friend and captain, Shane Hollander. And the attraction? That's just appreciation of his friend's effort and dedication to their craft. Why would that mean anything? He's never felt like this about anyone else, but that's what best friendship is: platonic soulmateship.

    Until a few rough checks from Ilya Rozanov make him feel the same way.

    Or: Hayden Pike is probably bisexual but he's a professional hockey player and doesn't have time for that right now.

    Or Or: Hayden Pike spends ten years trying to push it down and bury it.
