Summary
“Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”
“That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.
That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”

Summary
It all began with a strange feeling.
It wasn’t something intense, but enough for Shane to notice something was off. His eyes were moving faster than his brain, and Pike’s face looked…weird. Like, he could see it, but it was a little too soft around the edges.
“You good, dude?”
Shane snapped out of his thoughts. They were in the locker room, and while it had previously been filled with loud chatter and booming pregame music, he suddenly found that it was silent, besides a weird, distant buzzing in his ears. Hayden Pike was locking eyes with him, awaiting a response. Shane swallowed. Guess he had to say something now.
“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
“Huh? Oh, uh, hm.” Shane just hums. “I’m good. Zoned out for a sec.” He says plainly, because it wasn’t untrue.

Summary
“Shane?” Ilya asks again. “What happened?” His gloveless hand twitches and he lifts it a fraction of an inch towards Shane.
Shane tosses his own gloves to the ice and reaches forward, lacing their fingers together. “You took a bad hit,” he says, gritting his teeth against the fear clawing at his guts. “Flipped headfirst into the ice. Are you okay?”
Ilya groans in answer and squeezes his hand, though Shane can't tell if he meant to do that or not.
Suddenly, there are people all around them. Shane shifts protectively close before he realizes it’s the medical team.
“Hollander, get back to your bench,” someone says, but there’s no way Shane’s going. Even if he wanted to, Ilya’s gripping his hand like a lifeline, eyes finally locked on Shane’s face. Shane isn’t leaving him.
