Summary
“What is this?” Ilya asked.
“Ah.” Shane couldn’t quite meet his eyes as a faint blush crept across his cheeks. “Well, I wasn’t sure what the dress code would be for the party, so I laid out some options for us.”
Ilya’s heart fucking stopped.
“The… what is this, what is happening?” Ilya asked, wanting to be sure that he understood correctly.
Shane’s blush intensified as he gave Ilya a small, unsure smile.
“I don’t know Boodram very well, so I had to guess what the vibe would be. You were… you were in the shower for a long time and I was feeling anxious so I… Sorry, it’s so stupid but I just wanted to… I don’t know, show you I’m in?”
Or, what if Shane didn't leave after their fight on Boxing Day?

Summary
To be clear, Ilya is grateful the rookies aren’t growing up the way he did in the NHL. Ilya took the hazing to the chin – humiliation rituals, beat downs, grueling practices to prove he could “hang” with the big guns on the team.
That being said, there’s still some part of Ilya that balks at the request by the gaggle of rookies to watch The Iron Giant, a veritable children’s movie at the team’s latest movie night.
OR: Five times Shane and Ilya were the support system for the Centaur rookies they dreamed of having when they were younger.

Summary
Wisdom teeth surgery: 0/10, would not recommend.
Confessing your feelings to your secret boyfriend while high on anesthesia in front of a nurse: -10/10, please make it stop.
Shane’s parents are in Belize, he’s got an emergency dental surgery, and Ilya drives two hours from Ottawa without hesitation. What follows is 24 hours of post-op care, an alarming amount of feelings said out loud, and the mortifying realization that yes, he really did call Ilya a “hot lion.”
At least the nurse was cool about the whole secret boyfriend thing.
