He’s standing across from Ilya in his kitchen. Their feet are almost touching, Ilya’s in black socks that Shane also has multiple pairs of, Shane’s in his favourite soft striped ones. The rain is getting louder outside, moving from a drizzle to a downpour. And Ilya is looking at him like he loves him.

Summary
Ilya blinked at the page for a moment, then looked up at Shane and laughed.
Shane immediately grew defensive. "Oh, fuck you! I was trying to be nice." He pulled the book back, but Ilya stopped him when he turned to walk away.
"Shane Hollander."
"What?"
"Privet. Hello."
"Oh." Shane's pronunciation hadn't been remotely close. "And what about...?" He pointed to the Russian phrase he'd overly-ambitiously tried first.
"Dobroye utro."
"Ah. Good morning," Shane said sheepishly.
"Good morning," Ilya repeated with the most genuine smile Shane had seen from him yet.

Ilya Rozanov, rising star of the Soviet Union's infamous Red Army team shocked the world in 1989 when he suddenly defected to Canada to play for a mediocre MLH team.
Shane Hollander, underappreciated and deeply closeted third-liner on said team, was perhaps the most shocked of everyone. The cocky Russian phenom hadn't made the best impression on Shane during a brawl at World Juniors a couple years prior, but when a noticeably sullen Ilya arrived in their locker room, Shane couldn't help but reach out to him.

Summary
Ilya has two problems.
The first is that his best friend is freshly single and needs to get laid. The second is that Ilya is having some...weird feelings about it.
These are completely platonic and heterosexual concerns for his friend, of course.
(or a college au featuring shane and ilya as best friends, and shane as ilya's bisexual awakening)
