    Summary

    They’d had an argument once, on the bus to Toronto. After they’d both showered, Shane had informed him, in a clipped tone, that he’d booked a separate hotel room, and that the space a night before a game might be what’s best for the team. Ilya, equally mad about something he can’t even remember now, had agreed.

    Shane had ended up at his door again twenty minutes later, with his mouth curled into a snarl, eyes glassy. “Were you really going to just let me go?”

    Summary

    "fuck you", shane snaps back before he can think about it.

    "yes, that is what i'm talking about", ilya replies calmly.

    shane feels like he's missed a step on his way through this conversation and fallen so hard he's hit his head.

    "i—i'm a beta", is the only thing he can think of to say.

    ilya raises his eyebrows, looking at him like he's an idiot. "i am aware of that, yes."

    "but you still want to—" shane almost stumbles over the words, "fuck me?"

    ilya's gaze travels from his face down his body, lingering pointendly on his groin, and then back up again. "i want", he says. "do you?"

    (or: shane meets a strange wolf during one of his scouting runs. he doesn't know that it's the beginning of a love story.)

    Summary

    “It’s okay. I don’t need anything.” 

    “I am not going to eat in front of you while you have nothing, Hollander,” Ilya scoffs. He plucks a can of cold ginger ale from the top shelf as casually as he can manage and slides it over the island, interrupting Hollander’s fidgeting thumbs. “You must be hungry, yes? It’s been hours since you left hotel. I can make something. Easy.” 

    “Make… what?” he asks warily.  

    Ilya rolls his eyes and tosses a look over his shoulder. “Do not worry. I will find something that works for your special hockey diet,” he teases. He reaches back into the fridge. “Tuna melt okay?” 

    “No,” Hollander says primly. “And it’s a disease. Not a diet.” 

    He pulls his hands out of the cold and turns, blinks. “What?”
