    Summary

    "And now,” Rozanov shook his head, frowning. “Now, the only thing I can ever think about is you doing it again.” He clenched his hands into fists and brought them to the countertop. "Of you putting your hands on me. I want it so much. Want you to just,” he made an abortive clawing motion with his hands. “Tear it out of me. Everything I think. Everything I feel. Nothing has ever fixed it like you.”

    Shane thought he could understand that pretty well.

    Or: Ilya wants Shane to take control like he had during their night in Las Vegas. He's not very good at asking for things he wants.

    Summary

    Most of the time, Ilya doesn’t pick on him about it. Partly because Ilya knows when to pick and choose his battles, and any battle relating to a Shane routine is lost before it starts – but mainly because the little sleepy snuffling sounds that he insists he doesn’t make because he’s not sleeping, he’s meditating, so shut the fuck up, are really fucking cute.

    But sometimes, Ilya wants – needs – his husband’s undivided attention in their last few moments of peace before another loud, hectic, and exhausting day full of other people stealing it.

    Or maybe annoying Shane just enough to get him to slam the door a little bit too hard on his way out of the car, to give Ilya one quick dose of his adorable angry kitten face, is Ilya’s own form of morning meditation.

    “Shane.”

    Shane starts a bit, but otherwise doesn’t move or open his eyes. “Hmm?”

    “What sport would you play if you were more athletic?

    Summary

    Two years of playing together, and it still hit him every time. The casualness of it. My husband. Said out loud, in public. After years of hiding—stolen moments in hotel rooms, careful distance in public, the constant exhausting performance of just teammates, just rivals, nothing to see here—now Ilya could say it like it was nothing. Like it was easy, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

    Because it was. Finally.

    In which Ilya Hollander-Rozanov cannot shut up about his husband. (Subtitled: No one asked, Ilya. Ilya. No one asked.)

    Summary

    Things were good this morning. Shane woke him up gently and they stayed in bed a bit, just sharing warmth and soft, unhurried kisses until it was time to get up; Anya excitedly barked and jumped around them until Ilya opened the bay window to let her outside where she did her business before returning to beg for breakfast like they never feed her; Ilya grumbled about the food Shane prepared but he ate it anyway. This morning was like most of the mornings they’ve had since they got married and Ilya had seemed as excited about practice as Shane had felt.

    Ilya’s grip on the steering wheel tightens. “Not now,” he says, and it feels like a slap to the face.


    September 2021, married Shane and Ilya are now playing on the same team, and the things it does to Ilya.
