Summary
"You're supposed to smoke over there." Someone said from behind Ilya.
Ilya almost dropped his cigarette. His English was shitty, but he had studied that sentence enough times over the years to understand it immediately. He didn't even think about his words much anymore, but it was impossible to avoid them.
He turned instinctively, and was face to face with Shane fucking Hollander.
Out of almost seven billion people, of course Ilya's soulmate had to be his fated rival. It was almost poetic. Still, Ilya had enough sense to realize just how bad this was.
or, Shane says Ilya's soulmate words. Ilya vows to never speak a word to him to keep him from finding out. They fall in love anyway.

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
“Stop,” Shane rasped, though his hands refused to push away. “We can’t—“
Ilya lifted his head, eyes blazing. “You wanted to know how to dance with a girl,” he said quietly. “I’m showing you.” His thumb swept along Shane’s lower lip, then pressed gently until Shane parted his mouth again. Ilya leaned in, gave him another searing kiss. Shane leaned into it, desperate. Every inch of him leaned.
When Ilya finally pulled back, Shane chased him, lips chasing his. Ilya smiled, pleased, before catching Shane’s jaw in one large hand, holding him still. He studied the flushed face, the glassy eyes, the swollen mouth. “That’s how you do it,” he said, low and final, as if stamping a grade on an assignment. He rubbed his thumb over Shane’s cheek one last time, then stepped away.
Shane tries to date a woman. Ilya shows him how it's done.
Or,
Everything that happens in episode 4 after Shane excuses himself to the bathroom. He meets Ilya.
