Summary
“We’ve made a trade,” Coach announces. “For Shane Hollander.”
It’s like the ground drops out from beneath Ilya, and his heart falls from his chest. It tumbles past rock bottom, down to the cavern that shattered open inside of him on that night five years ago. The night when Ilya walked away from Hollander for the last time.
He can’t breathe.
(Or: Shane doesn’t get hurt, they break up, and they don’t talk for five long years. Until Shane is traded to Ottawa.)

Summary
All things considered, they’d just had a very nice visit with Shane’s parents. Impromptu, yes. Unexpected, fuck yes. Ilya opened his door, let himself in and sank into his seat, feeling more relief than he had in a very, very long time. Shane’s parents knew now. That was a major hurdle. It wasn’t exactly ideal in how it happened, but it happened and everything was ok? It sure felt ok. Nobody was crying anymore. Nobody was mad. Nobody was disappointed.
Shane got in the driver’s seat next to him. He hadn’t said anything yet, but Ilya noticed he looked considerably lighter. Like half the weight of the world had lifted off his shoulders. Like he could breathe a little easier now.

Summary
Alex nods. “I get that.” He pauses. “You know you can talk to me if you need to, right? If things aren’t great.”
Henry’s face softens, his shoulders relaxing a bit. “I know,” he murmurs. “Thanks.”
He turns back to the television, and Alex forces himself to do the same. He tears his gaze away from Henry’s profile and focuses on their Star Wars marathon again, refusing to acknowledge how cuddly Henry looks in soft pajamas and fuzzy, mismatched socks. Alex’s heart leaps in his chest anyway.
He knew having a crush on his roommate would be confusing, frustrating, and borderline heartbreaking. None of that stopped him.

Summary
“I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”
“Yes.”
The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.
“Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”
Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”
* * *
or, Ilya stays in Boston, gets a rookie, and tries to figure out how to make a secret long distance relationship work while there's a Russian teenager in his house
