    Summary

    Shane looked exhausted, more than post-sex tired — Ilya knew that look. This was different.

    He wasn’t coughing or sneezing, but something was… off.

    Ilya was miffed. He hadn’t travelled all the way to beautiful, butt-fuck-nowhere Ontario to play nurse. He would. If he had to. But he would do so begrudgingly and with constant complaint.

    Or: Shane tries to hide his post-concussion headache. Ilya sees right through him.

    Summary

    Based off a Tumblr post by my-2nd-account

    Years into their relationship, Shane ends up wine-warm in Ilya’s lap, kissing every inch of his face he can reach and out of nowhere he brings up Vegas 2014. The penthouse. The elevator. The text Shane almost sent. Seeing his husband quiet, vulnerable, and still aching over it, Ilya stops joking for once and promises that it'll never happen again. They don't have sex, just kiss, Ilya kissing the living fuck out of Shane, making up for lost kisses.

    Summary

    Ilya hums, playing the card he's been considering for this entire conversation. “We could make more interesting, yes? A bet.”

    “A bet,” Shane repeats, eyes flashing. “Like what?”

    The reporter cuts in. “What about wearing the other player’s jersey?”

    They both turn to her, and Shane says, “Like, the loser wears the winner’s jersey?”

    “Maybe at the next game in a couple of months?”

    “Is a good idea,” Ilya muses, nudging Shane’s elbow. “You will look better in my jersey than in Montreal jersey.”

    Shane makes a low noise, his eyes holding a bit of a spark when he looks back to Ilya. It’s what Ilya was hoping for—the tiniest crack in the mask. He can see a hint of exasperated affection around the corners of Shane’s eyes, a little bit of fire burning just beneath the surface. It sends a thrill down Ilya’s spine, and he wonders if Shane will be snarky when Ilya gets him naked tonight.

    “That’s not happening,” Shane replies, shaking his head. “Because you’re not winning.”

    ---
    Ilya should have known better.

    Summary

    For most of his life Ilya never really believed he had a future after hockey, at least not one worth planning ahead for, but over time he begins to notice that the bitterness he used to carry isn't as sharp as it once was. Old habits die hard, but the thought of having less time with Shane proves harder still. He doesn't know exactly what his future holds, but when he lets himself imagine what may come next, Shane is always there.
