    Summary

    “You peeled the tangerine,” he babbles a bit stupidly, Ilya frowns at him “For me. You peeled it.”

    I hate peeling them. Shane wants to say. It makes my hands sticky and I hate that feeling and I can't ever take the peel off cleanly and that drives me mad. And you peeled them for me without me having to ask. He pops a piece into his mouth and realizes that the seeds have been carefully squeezed out, he feels his eyes well up with even more tears. I never even told you about this, I never told anyone about this. And somehow you knew.

    “Well yes,” Ilya tells him, a confused smile on his face “You hate peeling them.”

    Summary

    "So, an inside date?"

    "Yes. I googled."

    "You googled?" Shane sounds skeptical, even though Ilya knows that Shane knows how much Ilya loves a good google search.

    "Yes. I searched 'HELP how to plan romantic Valentine's Day with secret arch rival hockey player boyfriend when we can't leave his home and also he is very boring.'"

    "You did not."

    "Okay," Ilya admits, kissing the curve of Shane's shoulder, "That was not my exact search."

     

    Or: Valentine's Day 2018, in an apartment somewhere in Montreal.

    Summary

    “Hollander,” Rozanov says. 

    Shane can’t look at him. Instead, he notices the lamps. There’s so many of them just in his line of sight. Ilya must never have to use the overhead lights in this house. During the day, there’s the sun. And at night, the softness of the low light, just enough to see by. Shane imagines being able to sit here, after dark, a game in the background, the scene lit by nothing but the gentle glow of a few lamps. He imagines falling asleep soothed by hands softly carding through his hair and a heartbeat pulsing under his jawbone. It makes him feel domestic. It makes him feel like he does with a cold can of ginger ale in his hands. 

    He needs to leave.

    “Hollander,” Ilya says.

    Summary

    It wasn’t that Ilya was jealous. It was just that…he sort of was.

    It's finally the off-season, and Ilya cannot wait for a perfectly boring summer at the cottage with his perfectly boring husband.

    Shane, however, has other ideas.

    (AKA Ilya gets jealous of a literal plant.)
