    Summary

    Like two images superimposed, Ilya sees the Hollander from that public bathroom in Vegas: different suit, dorkier haircut, same glassy-eyed stare. He’s in both places at once, facing down the same beautiful wealth of opportunity.

    Ilya’s blood sings. It’s so clear, suddenly, how to get exactly what he wants. How to exorcize this horrible post-game worthlessness.

    Summary

    “I don’t think we should see each other until the First Round is over.”

    Rozanov just blinks at him like a drowsy—albeit handsome—cat. For a brief moment, Shane thinks that perhaps the other man hadn’t heard him. Maybe Rozanov can do that freaky thing where he sleeps with his eyes fully open. Shane wouldn’t know—after all, neither of them has ever spent the night.

    But then Rozanov tosses his head back and laughs.

    And laughs.

    And laughs.

    or;

    Montreal and Boston are set to face off in the first round of the playoffs. Shane has some concerns about that.

    Summary

    “I just…wanted to know if you’d be interested in trying something. It’s totally okay if you’re not into the idea, obviously.”

    Ilya’s ears perked up. He’d had some of the best sex of his life following basically those exact words. He rested his head on Shane’s shoulder, reaching over to take his hand. “Keep talking.”

    “Well, we have another week here together, and I was thinking. What if you could, uh. Have sex with me whenever you wanted?” Shane asked quietly, turning his hand over in Ilya’s so they were palm to palm, lacing their fingers together. “And I couldn’t say no? Or I mean, I could say it, but you wouldn’t listen.”

    Ilya inhaled sharply and lifted his head from Shane’s shoulder, studying him. He looked tense, but hopeful. Eager. “I would like that,” he enunciated carefully, squeezing Shane’s hand.

    Or: during their second summer at the cottage, Shane suggests trying out free use. Ilya is, predictably, all for it.

    Summary

    "You're serious?" Eddie manages, voice quieter than he intends. "I don't- I wouldn't even know what to do, man. Just- hold it there?"

    He hears Buck's breath catch even through the crackly line. "Yeah. Or you can, like, roll your hips, grind against it. Or you can ... do little rotations with your wrist." A pause. A lengthy, pregnant pause that should indicate that Buck is about to say something insane that shatters Eddie's world, but Eddie's apparently naive enough to think this is still at least a semi-normal conversation until Buck says, "I could show you."

    Eddie's stomach does a somersault, heart suddenly thundering so loud he can barely hear himself think. "What?" He croaks out.

    "I could show you, it's - it's… not a big deal. It doesn't have to be." He's not sure which one of them Buck is trying to convince with that. "Just... a guy showing another guy how to get off."

    or: Eddie is struggling to keep up with his sex drive after starting T. If only someone else could lend a helping hand.

    Summary

    “I was thinking about the honeymoon phase thing.”
    “Yes?” Ilya said.
    “I think it’s different for us. I don’t want us to be all blissful and then only start fighting when we’re back to barely seeing each other. I think it’s good if we figure things out now, when we have the time. Whatever needs figuring out. So we have a solid foundation going into the season. Sort of like training camp.”
    “So this means you will keep getting mad at me for things,” Ilya said.
    Shane smiled, rolled his eyes. “Yeah, exactly,” he said.
    “Good, I find it very hot,” Ilya said, and kissed him.

    An insecure over-thinker and a self-destructive thrill-seeker walk into a relationship.
