    Summary

    Ilya's face split into a wide grin. It made his eyes sparkle. Shane wanted to kiss him very badly. "Oh. Oh. You are very drunk."

    "I wouldn't say very drunk. I'm normal drunk." Shane corrected, stepping closer to Ilya until they were barely centimeters apart. Shane reached up and wrapped his arms around Ilya's neck. They were so close and he smelled so good. Shane breathed him in for a second. Fuck, he had missed him so badly. It had only been two weeks, but it felt like forever.

    "I missed you too." Ilya whispered. Wait, had Shane said that out loud? Oops. Maybe he was very drunk. "More than you know."

    Or, the transition from friends with benefits to lovers is far from seamless.

    Ilya Rozanov is loud, reckless, and deeply in love.

    He’s also learning- slowly, reluctantly- what it feels like to be wanted, claimed, and loved on purpose.

    Summary

    Roz couldn’t take three hours off when he was in Boston to see Cliff, but somehow managed to kick off a whole ass friendship with his worst enemy when the guy lived two hours away? Make that make sense! As far as Cliff knew, Hollander didn’t even like any of the things that Roz liked – partying or clubbing or drinking. What did Hollander have that Cliff didn’t? Besides a second Cup? And several MVP awards? And multiple broken records?

    Oh god. Had Roz picked Hollander as his new best friend because he was better than Cliff at hockey?

    --

    Cliff is very proud to be Ilya Rozanov's best friend (or at least his best male friend). But then Ilya moves to Ottawa, dodges Cliff's attempts to hang out and, oh yeah, suddenly announces a close friendship with a guy he's hated for most of a decade. This would be much simpler to deal with if Cliff had any idea how to talk to Roz about feelings. Or how to talk about feelings at all.

    Summary

    Eddie narrows his eyes at her suspiciously as she continues to sit there in amicable silence, seemingly conducting some sort of psychological warfare on him.

    “Why did you bid on me?” he blurts.

    “We never get to hang out one-on-one,” Maddie answers with a shrug. “And you’re very important to a lot of people who are very important to me. So I figured it was about time we did.”

    “You spent sixteen hundred dollars,” Eddie reminds her.

    Maddie shrugs again. “I was feeling charitable.”

    OR: Deciding it's finally time to interfere, Maddie uses the LAFD's Bachelor Auction to win herself some one-on-one time with Eddie.

    Summary

    He’d heard many, many things about Jamie Tartt from various people around the club, and none of them had been particularly complimentary. When the team came back for pre-season training, Dani had mentioned his name in passing, which lead to an hour-long session of insults and bad impressions. Then last month, Declan had stuck a poster he’d found of the Lust Conquers All contestant up in the dressing room; within the first hour, it had been defaced with sharpie and something Will really hopes was shampoo. After last week’s 0-0 draw, he’d overheard Sam and Babatunde discuss how much better they felt while playing without worrying about him not passing or blaming them for his slip-ups. And of course, whenever Nate pulled him up for not folding the towels correctly, or not organising the boots in the right order, or not filling the water bottle exactly to the 500ml mark, he would make sure he knew how lucky he was Jamie Tartt wasn’t here, he’d fuck you right up if he saw you do that. So suffice to say, Will was expecting things to take a turn for the worse when he heard the striker addressing him.
