    Summary

    “You should probably uh…stay safe then.” Shane babbles, exhaustion driving away any common sense or rationality.

    Throwing his head back, Rozanov laughs. It grows increasingly hysterical, until Shane can see unshed tears in the corners of Rozanov’s eyes.

    “You say, ‘stay safe Rozanov.’” Rozanov pinches his nose as he says this and adopts a high-pitched tone. He crosses his arms over his chest and poses like he’s on a superhero poster, mimicking Shane’s Rolex ad. “But it’s hockey. There’s no way to stay safe.”

    “I don’t sound like that,” Shane grumbles.

    Rozanov tilts his head to the side. His pupils are dilated in the low light of Shane’s apartment and he shrugs, stuffing his hands in his pockets again. “We will test more next time. In Boston.”

    It takes a year for Shane Hollander to realize that he's somehow magically protecting his rival, Ilya Rozanov, from harm. It takes another several years, and a lot of hooking up, for him to figure out why.

    Summary

    Hayden hated the guy. Hated him.

    Hated his stupid, smug smirk and the myriad of insults he threw Hayden’s way and the way he made fun of Shane like it was a funny game then looked him up and down like a piece of meat and his reputation of sleeping with everything that fucking moved and the memories of being slammed into the boards by him and quite literally everything about this Russian dickhead.

    And he hated that he was now going to have to do everything in his power to learn how to tolerate Rozanov because Shane was inexplicably and hopelessly in love with him, and Shane was his brother in every fucking thing but blood, and Hayden was not going to keep being responsible for that sad puppy look on his face every time he realized how poorly they got along.

    So far, Hayden sucked at it. Big time.

    ---

    It bothers Shane that Hayden and Ilya don't get along, so Hayden is putting in the effort to try and see these redeeming qualities Shane claims the guy has. Over the years it becomes easier and easier, until one day, he realizes he doesn't have to actually try anymore.

    or, 5 times Hayden realized he was starting to tolerate Ilya + 1 time they acknowledged they were actually friends now

    Summary

    Shane picks up on the third ring.

    “What?”

    Ilya closes his eyes, humiliation twisting his gut. Still, though, it’s nice to hear his voice. His shoulders sag a little. “Hollander?”

    “I don’t–” Shane sighs, long and heavy. “Why are you calling?”

    Why is he calling? Ilya couldn’t answer. Not in any way that makes sense, anyway.

    Voice wobbling, Ilya says, “I am sorry.” He inhales, breath hitching horribly. “Was mistake.”

    On the other line, Shane goes quiet. Then, shuffling around, he says, “What’s going on, Rozanov?”

    Or: Ilya calls Shane in the middle of the night, and against his better judgment, Shane comes to find him.

    Summary

    Did you figure anything out? Shane writes, and flips the page around for Ilya to read it.

    Wont like the answer, Ilya’s written, in his quick hand.

    So he doesn’t have to take the pen back, Shane just shrugs. What?

    Ilya sits down at the desk for a steady surface to explain.

    3 things
    1 its curse. if true we can break it
    2 its spell. if true we can break it
    3 we are soulmates. if true we are fucked

    “No,” Shane mutters, before he can stop himself. Immediately, he slams a hand over his mouth.

    or: Ilya and Shane are soulmates, and their bond prevents them from both talking and being apart. Unfortunately, the only thing that’ll make the pain stop is confessing the one thing they can say: that they’re in love.
