    Summary

    Shane turns off the light and curls up on his side, leaning against a pillow. He turns his phone brightness down so it won’t sting his eyes, his face barely illuminated for Ilya to see in the darkness.

    Ilya doesn’t cut off his own lights, just hums appreciatively into the phone, “Is nice, I see your freckles this way.”

    “You won’t have time to see them on Thursday because I’ll be skating too fast for you to catch up.”

    Ilya smiles, “So mean to me, I tell you you are beautiful and you tell me to die.”

    (the first six months of being boyfriends)

    Summary

    It’s not until Hayden is already in Shane’s bedroom, until he’s already reaching for and opening his nightstand drawer, that his lagging brain finally catches up with the situation at hand and he realizes that maybe he shouldn’t be rifling through the personal belongings of his intensely private best friend.

    He has this thought maybe a millisecond before he finishes opening the drawer, which is already far too late. His eyes have already swept over its contents, and—

    Well. The Advil is certainly the least interesting thing it contains.

    Or: An intensely hungover Hayden goes looking for some headache relief in his best friend’s house. In his search, he discovers a stack of Polaroids that feature a very notorious face.

    Summary

    Shane’s breath stuttered. “So, I don’t look ridiculous?” he asked quietly.

    Ilya’s expression shifted. Softened. Something almost pained flickered there. “Shane,” he said gently.

    He slid his hand fully to Shane’s jaw, cradling it. “I look at you drenched in sweat after hockey games and still think you are the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen,” he said honestly. “You thought a little makeup was going to scare me?”

    Fabian does Shane's makeup. Ilya is, least to say, thrilled.

    Summary

    ROZANOV DOWN: Ottawa Captain Carried Off Ice on Stretcher After Third Period Hit. Rozanov unconscious on impact. Fencing response observed. Cervical collar applied. Transferred to hospital by ambulance. Shane Hollander received game misconduct following altercation and did not return to the ice.

     

    A grade-3 concussion leaves Ilya Rozanov trapped in a "slow" brain, struggling to reclaim the elite hockey instincts that once defined his identity. Within the sanctuary of their darkened apartment, Shane Hollander anchors their life, managing every medical detail while privately bracing against his own silent terror. It is a portrait of the grueling, quiet patience required to wait out a neurological fog, hoping the person on the other side eventually finds their way back.
