    Summary

    Ilya understands now, what people mean when they say depression has a weight to it. It's as though something is holding him down, pressing his weary bones into the mattress and telling him no, no moving today.

    He doesn't want to be lazy, doesn't want to prove his father right, but the idea of moving from his bed, of reaching for his phone, of existing just feels like too much.

    Everything feels like too much.

    OR

    The Boxing Day fight doesn't happen. Instead, Ilya's depression grows horns and forces itself into visibility.

    Summary

    “Luch-Shane,” Ilya says, catching himself only at the last moment before he breaks their no pet names in the workplace rule. “Why don’t you get some air, yes? We can-”

    Shane’s anxiety takes a quick backseat to annoyance once more, at being handled like a child instead of a grown man, like he hasn’t been doing this just as long as Ilya, like he needs someone to tell him when to take a break.

    Like he deserved to have everything taken away from him because he couldn’t handle it to start with.

    “I’m fine,” he says, voice icy.

    The step he takes away is too big, farther than he meant to get from Ilya’s side, and the air between them feels both charged and icy.

    He isn’t quite bold enough to try and fix it.

    (shane is married and on the same team as his husband) (and all it cost him was his whole career and the life he spent years building beforehand) (but it's fine, really) (it's all so very, very fucking fine)

    Summary

    “Can’t hang out tonight, Hayd. I have plans.”

    “Bullshit,” Hayden responds. “You never have plans.”

    Objectively, this used to be true. Nowadays Shane has many, many plans, between his nightly plans to look at Ilya’s penis through Skype and his various long-term plans laid out helpfully in his notebook, Canva (For Ilya’s sake. He is a visual learner), and more recently, Excel. Shane loves that excel sheet. He’s colour coded it.

     

    In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.

    Summary

    “Why are you so on edge Ilya, is it because you didn’t get to cum this morning, you should have done what I did and jerked off in the shower, I even slipped a finger into myself.” Shane said with a wide smile on his face as Ilya turned to look at him.

    Shane expected Ilya to look angry but instead he looked frustratingly calm. “Excuse me?” he said, as he began closing the distance between him and Shane.

    “I said, you should have cum in the shower like I did.” Shane said, still grinning.

    “And who told you you were allowed to do that?”

    “I did.” Shane said, like he was proud of himself. Now Ilya was smiling, taking another step closer and crowding Shane up against their front door, “Go on Shane, just keep talking, keep saying things you will just regret.”

    “I'm not gonna regret shit.” Shane said, smiling wide up at Ilya.

    “Hmm.” Ilya said.

    Summary

    He would love to be the kind of person who could laze around in bed with his lover (it was the term they’d settled on at Ilya’s insistence, dreadful) but Shane just wasn’t built that way.

    Or: one year post-cottage, are Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, who are so good at so many things, any good at all at being in love?
