    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    Jackie suddenly appeared behind Hayden. She was smiling widely as she took her place next to Hayden, slipping her arm round her husband. "Shane, Ilya, so glad you guys made it!"

    With one arm, Rozanov pulled her out of Hayden's embrace and twirled her around. "Ah, I have missed you Jackie. You are looking very sexy today, well done."

    Patrice's jaw dropped. 

    Surely even Ilya Rozanov wasn't flirting with another man's wife in front of her husband and his own husband?

    Pat glanced at Kate, giving her his 'I told you so' look. 

    But Jackie just laughed. "Thank you, Ilya."

    "You are very welcome. Is tragic for you now your husband is so old. Anyway, here is gift for old man. I wanted to give Viagra-"

    "Oi!"

    Jesus, this guy didn't know when to stop, did he?

    "-But Shane said was 'inappropriate'," He made finger quotes with his fingers as he spoke and then shrugged, a shit-eating grin on his face. "Sorry, Jackie, I tried to help."

    Asshole.

    (hayden's birthday party sees 3 metros, and their assumptions about hollanov, corrected)

    Summary

    “So,” Ilya says, dragging the word out. He’s swiping at non-existent crumbs on the counter, avoiding his eyes. “You have dinner at parents on Christmas, yes?” 

    “Yeah.” 

    Ilya nods. “I can house-sit while you are away. Make place pretty, if you have decorations. Make it less boring.” 

    Shane’s eyebrows fly up. “What? You don’t want to come with?” 

    Finally, Ilya looks up at him. Hesitantly, he asks, “You want me to come with?” 

    Frowning, Shane says, “I– yeah. Yeah, of course. You think I invited you here just so you could spend Christmas alone?” 

    Looking away, Ilya shrugs. “I am intruder here, Hollander. You have family. I do not. Makes situation… difficult, maybe. You forget the world thinks we are rivals.” 

    “Not difficult,” Shane says immediately. “You want to come, you’re coming.” 

    Or: Ilya's in Montreal alone during the week leading up to the Winter Classic. Shane doesn't let him spend Christmas alone.
