    Summary

    “Holy shit, dude,” Hayden whispers, too loudly, as he pulls Shane away. “No way you were just talking to Ilya Rozanov.”

    “Uh, yeah. We just met. Wait, did he lie to me?” Shane asks, looking back over his shoulder where Ilya is now standing next to a short but very muscular woman with long black hair. “What does he play?”

    Hayden stops, so Shane does too.

    “You don’t know who that was?” 

    Shane makes a face that says ‘no shit’, and waits for an answer. 

    “Dude. You are so innocent. Ilya Rozanov, ‘Russia’s Greatest Love Machine’?” Hayden says, like it’s obvious. 

    Shane looks at him blankly, and then Hayden laughs. Not like, a chuckle. He full on cackles, bending over like he can’t even contain it. “Man, he’s like prolific.”

    “At what?” Shane snaps, because he’s getting really sick of not being in on the joke. 

    “He’s a porn star, man.” 

    “A-” Shane says, swallowing thickly. “What?” 

    ---

    Ilya is a porn star, Shane is a hockey player, and their paths cross.

    Summary

    “You already made it clear how you feel and now it’s like you just don’t want me to move on. Is that what you want?”

    “And just how do you think I feel?”

    “I’m not gonna stick around where I’m not wanted, so I’m trying to step back but it’s like you won’t let me.”

    “Is that what you think? I don’t want you?”

    Summary

    Ilya suggests to Shane that he would be okay with Shane sleeping with other men if he wanted.
    Shane is not happy about it.
    They argue, there's silence, and then the realization of just how far they’ve come.

    or: an expanded (imagined) scene inspired by a brief mention in The Long Game, when Ilya speaks to his therapist about his relationship with Shane and thinks back to this argument after she asks whether they’re in a monogamous relationship.
