Summary
Brad mashed the Share button, then the Twitter icon. Caption? Nothing seemed adequate—everything he could think of sounded like clickbait, even though it was completely accurate. Still, he had to try: Holy Shit! Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov Making Out??? Look in the Mirror!
That would have to do. Everyone would have to know. He added hashtags and mentions for Hollander, Rozanov, Pike, the Voyageurs, the Centaurs, the NHL, and ESPN. His finger hovered over the Post button, and he took a deep breath.
———
Brad doesn’t do it. He’s not a scumbag.
Canon-compliant until chapter 32 of the Long Game; spoilers for Role Model and the Long Game.

Summary
Shane had planned the pregnancy down to the week.
That was the joke everyone kept making, anyway. Not that it was inaccurate.
The third trimester was supposed to land perfectly during the off season so Shane could avoid flying, avoid media appearances, avoid unnecessary stress, and ideally spend the last stretch of pregnancy resting quietly at home with his husband.
Instead, the third trimester was destroying him.
He was tired all the time. Not regular tired either. Bone-deep, miserable exhaustion that made him want to cry if he had to walk upstairs twice in one day. His back hurt. His hips hurt. His knees hurt. His ribs hurt. Sometimes his skin hurt for reason.
Or. Pregnant Shane shorts.

Summary
“And what do you think is your biggest weakness?”
What the hell?
Shane opened and shut his mouth a few times. He’d prepared for a question like this. But coming from Rozanov, it sounded so… blunt. And a little mean. He wracked his brain for a moment, coming up empty until —
“Answering questions?” Rozanov offered. There was a glint in his eyes now.
Shane didn’t actively dislike many people. Ilya Rozanov was quickly making his way on to the short list.

Ilya works as a paragel at a law firm, and Shane is the cute new hire.

Summary
The flirting was getting out of hand. When Ilya was not demonstrating his frustratingly admirable work ethic, he was sauntering over to the snack stand with one thing in mind: pretending to have any interest in Shane Hollander.
It was a cruel, sick joke.
Shane knew what was going on, and he would not be falling for it. Ilya was obviously a teasing, homophobic asshole.
From an outsiders perspective, perhaps it was not so obvious how Shane knew it was all a mean-spirited prank. To the untrained eye maybe it looked like genuine flirting on Ilya's part.
From Shane's point of view, it was as clear as the ultra chlorinated water of the pool.
