    Summary

    “Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”

    Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.

    “Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”

    “Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.

    “Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”

    This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.

    It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.

    Well shit, Hayden is now going to cry.

    "You can't say things like that bud. I'll start crying and I can't call Jackie to vent out about it."

    “I could, though,” Shane said, not willing to give up just yet. “Seduce you. If we were meeting for the first time right now. As adults, I mean.”

    “You want to try?” Ilya asked.

    “If you think you can handle it,” Shane said. His blush was only getting darker, but the set of his shoulders was determined.

    Ilya smiled at him, helplessly charmed. Shane was such a competitive little shit, and he loved him so much.

    “What did you have in mind?”

    Summary

    “Hey, Hollander, did you see the news about Rozanov?”

    Shane’s head snaps up and he almost gives himself whiplash. It’s deja vu, and it throws him back to that moment last season when Ilya’s father passed and he went MIA. His teammates had speculated, but Shane had known the truth – Ilya’s father had passed and he’d flown back to Russia to take care of family matters.

    “No?” He states simply, because he doesn’t trust his tongue to not betray him. What could Ilya possibly have done that would get him on the news?

    A phone is passed over, and Shane squints against the light and the tiny font of the news article. In big, bold letters the title reads ‘HOCKEY STAR ILYA ROZANOV SEVERELY INJURED IN CAR CRASH.’ It’s accompanied by a generic picture from the Boston news channel, but Shane doesn’t scroll down any further. He can’t. He doesn’t think his brain is capable of any thoughts currently. The phone drops out of his shaking hand and he realizes belatedly that tears are blurring his vision.

    “I gotta go.”

    OR, Ilya is in a car accident. Shane hurries to be by his side, and outs them in the process. Set during the year Ilya is playing for Boston.

    Summary

    Once, belied by the notion of a city teeming with other Russians, he spent the day going from bakery to bakery in New York City, trying to find a cake that would even come close. It was the dead of winter, and he blamed any teariness on the way the wind whipped at his face. He ignored texts from everyone but Shane.

    Summary

    He knew it stung Ilya, people not understanding. It stung him too. Because to Shane, loving Ilya was like breathing and also like standing on solid ground after years of drifting. It flooded him and steadied him at the same time. It hurt, knowing the world reduced them to a rivalry, a strange story, a piece of scandalous gossip when what they had was so much more. He wanted to be by Ilya’s side for everything, the mundane, the bright and the hard. And maybe not everyone who was in love felt like this, so overwhelmed and so steadied all at once. But Shane did. And if love was a contest, well… he is the winner.
    Best couple. Number one. Most epic love story ever.

    Or 4 times Shane told people him and Ilya were practically soulmates and the 1 time the universe told him.

    Summary

    Ilya gets like this sometimes.

    He doesn’t know what causes it, but he knows it is something genetic that he cannot control. He thought therapy would fix it like magic, and then he eventually went on the pills he thought would actually fix it, and now he is left wondering if anything is going to fix this big thing that is wrong with him.

    Ilya has a bad day. Shane tries to cheer him up.

    In the time that he’s been dating Henry, Alex has been on the receiving end of no less than four shovel talks.

    "oh I really need a one shot where Alex thinks that because Henry is Royal they will be at arms length always bc of protocol and then Henry just surprises him again and again by being the cuddliest most touchy person Alex has ever met and it’s exactly what they both need"

    Thank you for letting me use your prompt!

    Alex sees the way light-colored eyelashes bat against fair skin and the concealer covering up the eye bags that have been painstakingly formed by years of sleepless nights and stressful days.

    Alex sees the small divot in the corner of Henry's perfect mouth, carved in place by the stretch of his lips into that absolutely breathtaking smile. It's not his gummy smile, it's not his public photograph smile – no, it's something else entirely. It's his Alex smile.

    Summary

    Alex and Henry are not that couple. The one so disgustingly in love that everyone else around them is slapped in the face with it repeatedly—

    “False.”

    Henry’s chest shakes with barely restrained laughter, and Alex leans back against him firmer without looking back. “The fuck do you mean false?”

    June raises her eyebrows, and motions towards them. “Look at yourselves.”

    Summary

    His heart soars watching Alex and David cuddling on the carpet. It looks like a snapshot of a life he always dreamt of but never dared to hope for. Henry knows that he won't get to keep this. So, he quietly clicks a picture, immortalizing it, a tangible reminder that once upon a time, even for a moment, he had realized his dream, for a fleeting instance his drab life had turned technicolour because it had Alex in it.

    or, 3 times Henry puts a picture in his wallet and 1 time he finds a picture in Alex's wallet.
