    Summary

    At 18, Shane Hollander could not, with full certainty, say that he was a better player than Ilya Rozanov. It was driving him crazy. He had analysed gameplay videos, scoured the net, and even watched fancams. But he still couldn't say for sure.

    This was the only reason why he found himself preparing to stay and watch the Russian team practice after the Canadian team was done, he told himself. He will have his answer no matter what.

    Or

    Shane's POV of their first meeting at World Juniors practice rink.

    Summary

    Ilya might never step foot in Russia ever again. Might never walk the streets that watched him grow up or hear his native language roll off the tongues of everyone around him. Might never get another chance to visit his mother’s grave until the day his bones are laid to rest beside hers.

    Russia used to be home, where he thought he felt the most like himself.

    But now?

    Ilya knows, as Shane holds his gaze with stars in his eyes and those beautiful freckles gleaming in the sunlight, that his home will always be right here in front of him.

    * * *

    Back at the cottage after coming clean about their newfound relationship, Shane starts to feel guilty for making Ilya choose between him and the only home he’s ever known. For Ilya, though, it was never really much of a choice at all.

    (Or, Shane learns how to make Ilya’s favorite childhood meal, and Ilya has a lot of feelings about it.)
