    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    Summary

    His father, sounding more amused than anything, calls out: “You boys okay in there?”

    Poe calls back, “Yep!” much too quickly, at a ridiculously high register that’s going to do nothing to convince his father that he and Finn are doing anything but exactly what it sounds like they’re doing. What they are in fact doing. Finn starts to laugh against him, almost silently, and Poe cringes. “Just—” and his mind, his brilliant, strategic, outside-the-box, unmatched-in-a-dogfight mind, just blanks; it’s no match, apparently, for the way Finn’s just barely panting against him, stomach rising and falling shallowly against his, as his hands run lightly along Poe’s ribs.
