    Summary

    “Ilya,” he breathes into Shane's open, slightly panting mouth. Shane jostles their position, pointing his thumb at his own chest in an exaggerated manner.

    “Shane,” he replies. Quietly, like it's a request, not a statement. Ilya's eyes gentle, and he kisses Shane's nose.

    “Shane.”

    Or: another "Shane stays post-tuna melt scene" fic.

    Hayden brings the phone back to his own ear.

    “He can’t hear you, man, he’s freaking out.”

    There’s shuffling on Rozanov’s end, then, very distinctly, he says, “Put me on speakerphone.”

    Summary

    Shane should be here right now, should be in Ilya’s house. Ilya should be teasing him about being picky while going through delivery options for food on his phone. Shane should be discovering that Ilya has ginger ale in the fridge and the protein bars Shane mentioned liking in an interview in his pantry. He should be making out with Shane on the couch, sneaking a hand into his pants, teasing him about whether they can beat the deliveryman and arrive before he does. Shane was supposed to spend the night tonight, the Montreal team not set to leave until tomorrow afternoon because of potential bad weather in the morning. Shane should be fed and showered and ready to curl up in bed with Ilya tonight.
    But Shane is in a hospital.

    And Ilya is here.

    He pulls up Jane in his phone again. He presses call.

    “Hey, you’ve reached Shane Hollander-”

    Ilya closes his eyes and lets Shane’s voice roll over him.

    Summary

    Shane learns too much about his friends and their sex lives. They talk about things they’ve done in bed, and Shane starts to wonder if he’s doing something wrong.

    Curiosity piqued, the desperate get resourceful. Sometimes, those resources include asking the guy that you sometimes hate to teach you what you’re missing.

    Nothing can go wrong.

    Summary

    The sound Shane makes now is not a whine or a whimper. It’s the sound of an omega. It’s the sound of an omega in distress.

    “Did he just—” someone says from behind him.

    “Shit, Marleau, did you just bitch Shane Hollander?”

    --OR--

    Shane gets hit hard enough to trigger a traumatic omegatisation, which sends an entire stadium of alphas into frenzy. Ilya needs to get him off the ice, away from the danger, and onto his knot.
