    Summary

    “You are making 12 burgers this time?” came Ilya’s voice from behind him.

    “Yeah, I didn’t think eight would be enough,” Shane said, trying not to sound defensive.

    “And you found a completely new recipe for this, yes? Did not just multiply the one you made earlier this week, I mean.”

    “...Shut up.”

    “Never. You are too boring, I need to be interesting for both of us.”

    Shane’s arm stilled on the grill for just a second, the word boring prodding him right in a sore spot, like a finger pressing against a bruise.

    Part 4 of "hate Rozanov, not Ilya". Shane decides to invite JJ, Hayden, and Jackie over to the cottage to have a day to themselves and to introduce them to Ilya off the ice. They're mostly on the same page now, only, Ilya won't stop calling Shane "boring", and Shane doesn't know what to make of that, nor does he know how to ask about it himself. Things are pleasant, if awkward, until Hayden and JJ catch wind of Ilya's penchant for the (endearing?) quip and confront him, unaware that Shane can hear. But how will Ilya justify himself, when he thinks that Shane isn't around?
