Summary
The weight of it is familiar in his hand. He leans against the railing, cigarette pinched between his fingers, grip loosening as he lets some of the tension bleed from his shoulders. The scent of smoke still weighs heavy in the air, left over from previous guests. He imagines it wafting, curling around him before it disperses. Unable to wait any longer, he reaches for his lighter.
His phone vibrates against his thigh, jarring enough to make him flinch.
He curses, exhaling. He pulls his phone out of his pocket, finger halfway to the end call button when he glimpses the contact name. The letters glow back at him, stark white against the black.
Shane Hollander.
Russia is filled with ghosts; Shane makes them a little less scary.
Or: the one where Shane and Ilya get to have some semblance of a real conversation instead of chickening out and having sex and they both lock in
(Title from Paula by The Ballpark Franks)

Summary
Ilya wasn’t trying to kill himself that night. Suicide is something that belongs to his mother- he’s just lazy, and he wishes Shane would stop making excuses for him.
Shane has everything under control. His body is a tool, the one that’s given him both his career and his relationship, and he wishes Ilya would stop prying into the way he maintains it.

Summary
“False pretenses.” Shane concludes. “You lied.”
“Maybe a little.” Ilya’s usual smirk is softer at the edges, though Shane can only really see half of it in this light. “I tell him I send flowers to you, thank you for easy win tonight.”
“We lost?” Shane frets. “How bad was it? Who played center while I was out? Tell me it wasn’t fucking-”
“Hollander!” Ilya interrupts. “You are telling me you did not even watch game? Stay here-”
Ilya makes as if to stand, and Shane hastily grabs at his arm to keep him from leaving, has to fight back the initial instinct to sink his teeth into Ilya’s wrist and hold him there like that.
“-I call hospital, tell them ‘Shane Hollander is sleeping in bathtub and does not know hockey score for own team's terrible loss, come quick, bring every doctor’.”
“Nooo, Ilya.” Shane groans, smiling. “Stop it.”

Would You Still Love Me? by SaturnSickle

Summary
“Shane.” Ilya mumbled, Shane feeling him shift slightly on his lap. It sounded slightly like an inquiry, like he was testing to see if Shane would respond. Shane glanced down at him, his fingers moving to turn the page of his book.
“Yes, Ilya?”
“Would you still love me if I was a worm?” He asked. There was a strangeness to his voice. And a strangeness to the question. Did Shane hear him right?
“A what?”
“A worm.” Ilya repeated. Shane furrowed his brows.

Ilya asks Shane some... interesting questions. Shane doesn't answer them correctly.
