    Summary

    Ilya felt one of those phantom pains, this one his hip, from himself at fifteen years old. He hadn’t been scared to fight back at that age. He even relished in it when Alexei or his father had been especially cruel. His older brother had accidentally shoved him into a wall during one of their games, his hip knocking into the hard edge of the doorframe. In return, Ilya threw Alexei into the couch so hard it broke. He’d gotten the belt for it while Alexei walked free.

    Or, a post-win celebration has Shane and Ilya in the locker room with their team, play-fighting, and Ilya accidentally bruises Shane's ribs. He hadn't even realized it, but he'd become exactly like his brother.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is tired of wanting someone he cannot have, and he’s dying as he waits for someone who will not stay. Someone who doesn’t want to stay, not when there are so many others waiting for him. Fun of another variety, Shane left a treat amongst many.

    He wishes he could erase his feelings, move on as easily. In an effort to gain back control over the ‘situation’ that has become his romantic attraction to a notorious player, Shane attempts at imitating Ilya Rozanov’s methods until he perfects them and becomes as good as keeping it light and casual as his rival.

     

    Or Shane tries to Hoe Phase himself into a self discovery journey to choke and kill his feelings for Ilya Rozanov. Ilya is not the only who suffers from it, but he sure feels like he’s being choked and killed.

    Story ends after chapter 6 but I keep writing bonus because the hyper fixation doesn’t end.

    Summary

    Ilya doesn't even know why he said it, it was a stupid comment. He didn't even really mean it. But it stung Shane like he'd slapped him. And Shane would prefer that, Ilya to slap him, than for him to fuck someone else.

    Cue miscommunication

    Summary

    They were only supposed to be hooking up. That’s what it was supposed to be. They were never supposed to become anything real.

    Falling in love with Shane Hollander had never been part of the plan.

    So he ends it.

    Months later, during a heated game, one explosive check from Ilya sends Shane crashing to the ice and fighting for his life. As Shane lies on the edge of survival, Ilya is swallowed by guilt, terror, and the crushing realization that he walked away from the one person he can’t imagine losing, and that he might be too late to make it right.
