Summary
Spring in Ottawa is pretty beautiful, if you think it might be your last. Crocuses peek out from under the frozen ground, purple dots against the thin layer of snow. The days are getting longer. Ilya’s been spending a lot of time sitting in the sun and watching the gentle canopy of leaves stretch out across the water. He tries to be positive about it. He used to only get hours with Shane. Minutes. Two weeks between seasons at the cottage used to stretch out in front of him like a sun-soaked forever. Ten years of reaching out and two weeks of grabbing and touching and having. He used to live for those hours and minutes and seconds. Six months to five years, they tell him, and in the grand scheme of things, six months really isn't that bad.
Spring and summer, Shane and Ilya, and a life sentence that's all too short.

Summary
He knows no one would believe him. Plenty of guys get smacked around by their girlfriends. Pussy-whipped, dog-walked, whatever. She’s talking way too fast for Ilya to understand. It’s just one of her little harmless punishments, when he fucks up. Sometimes she ignores him just to watch him squirm and try to figure out what he did. They don’t talk about his family, and he doesn’t tell her that his father used to do the same thing. Bringing it up will just make her angrier.
It’s a little bit more than a slap this time. The edge of her knuckles connects with his nose and blood is running down his chin before he can blink. He runs his tongue over the smooth surface of his teeth on instinct like he always does after he hits the ice face first. Ilya always expects it, yet it always takes him by surprise.
After the news breaks about Shane and Rose, Ilya gets himself into something...simpler. But simpler turns confusing, and then manipulative, and then violent. And that's when people start noticing.

Summary
“...oh,” his mom says. “Oh, honey, you were seeing someone? You never said anything.”
“It’s-it’s complicated.” He catches the present tense too fucking late to do anything about it, and he barely resists the urge to either groan or slip forward to start beating his head against the coffee table.
Fuck his fucking life.
“You’re still…seeing this person?” His mom asks, and the amount of control he can hear her exerting is almost painful. “Who is-”
“Yuna,” his dad cuts in, voice quiet, “maybe give him a second, yeah?”
Yeah, Shane agrees in his head. Give him a second.
Maybe give him a decade while they’re at it.
(when shane's old fake id falls out of his wallet around his parents, he has to explain that it was to book hotel rooms before he was 21)
(...and then he has to explain why he needed to book those hotel rooms in the first place)

Summary
It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.
But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.
