Summary
This thing that they have—whatever the hell it is—it’s good. It’s easy. It feels like the only thing keeping Ilya afloat sometimes.
He can’t let it get to a place where it’s more than just a good, convenient fuck and some fun teasing in between. Even if sometimes, in brief moments of tenderness, it already feels like it’s more than that. Or at least like it’s something that can be, if they just let it.
But they don’t. They can’t.
Although sometimes, Ilya does find himself giving in to the urge to look at Shane just a little bit longer, to let his touch be just a little bit gentler, more reverent, than what it would be for something as casual as they claim this to be—albeit sparingly.
Sometimes, just for a moment, he lets himself indulge. He lets some of that affection bleed out of him because he feels like he’ll implode if he doesn’t.
But he always catches himself before it can linger.

Summary
When Shane opened the door, his parents stood there looking winded. "I’m sorry Shane, I know you must be tired, but the radiator blew up," David explained while entering with Yuna, though his eyes were already scanning the room. "The CAA said-"
He stopped dead. Behind Shane, standing stiffly by the couch, was the #81 Boston player.
"Rozanov?" Yuna’s voice went up an octave. They looked shocked, which Shane understands.
"Mom, Dad... yeah.” Shane said, his voice cracking slightly. “This is Ilya Rozanov. We, ah, were just... catching up," He is such a horrible liar. "After all these years, we figured it was time to get to know each other. As friends."
They are going to know, they are going to fucking know.Bookmarked by ThenAStarDanced
