    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    “Which one is yours?”

    Shane scans the ice for his daughter’s jersey number. Ilya had been really smug about it when they brought it home. She has your last name, Hollander, he’d said, let her have my number if she wants. Is better, anyway.

    “That one,” he says, pointing at the clump of white jerseys. “Number 81. Mila.”

    “Oh you’re Mila’s dad!” The woman looks delighted. “I’m Maddie’s mom. Jane.”

    She holds her hand out, and Shane has to bite back a grin. He takes her hand.

    “Shane,” he says, shaking it. “Nice to meet you.”

    “Wouldn't you like to know?”

    Jeonghan said it the day he died, a smirk at the corner of his mouth when they stopped at the 7-11 on their way home from school.

    Jisoo would like to know, as it turns out. He really fucking would.

    Summary

    Eijun has seen many patients during his time as a vet. 

    Big ones. Small ones. Fluffy ones. Hairless ones. Rodents and snakes, bunnies, cats, dogs, birds. 

    He’s seen many patients - and he’s seen many owners. 

    Men and women, children, parents, sisters, brothers. Aunts and uncles, newly weds and widows.

    But he’s never quite seen someone like Miyuki Kazuya.

    Miyuki Kazuya, the starting catcher for the Tokyo Giants.

    Summary

    Haruichi felt a jolt of surprise. Looking properly at Sawamura, he asked, "You're dating someone?"

    "Yes....?" Sawamura drawled out, looking as surprised as Haruichi felt. Like he expected that Haruichi would already know this information.

    "Since when?"

    "Uh...It's been almost three years," Sawamura said. There was a moment of shocked silence before Sawamura asked, "You didn't know?"

    "You never told me!"

    Sawamura blinked a little bit before letting out a quiet sound. "Oh. I guess I didn't." He lifted one hand, reaching up to rub at the back of his neck. "Sorry, Harucchi. I guess I'm so used to all of my friends from home knowing that I just forgot that my new friends didn't know."

     

    or: the story of how everyone missed the fact that Sawamura and Narumiya were dating.

    Summary

    the first time youichi meets his neighbor across the hall is at 2am on a saturday, an insistent knocking at the door until youichi goes to get it with a muffled curse. he’s not expecting anything in particular but he’s still surprised. the guy is half a head shorter than youichi and slight besides, standing in the hall in slippers with his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants and a mild case of bedhead. it should be absurd or adorable or at least a little funny, but he’s radiating a sort of casual menace youichi would have envied in his delinquent days.
