    Summary

    “No...I mean.” Shane said and then closed the gap between them. Ilya let his forehead fall against Shane’s shoulder. Shane could feel Ilya’s weariness, as he wrapped his arm around Shane’s neck and buried his face in the crook of his neck. Shane knew the feeling, a specific exhaustion, steaming from an unfortunate combination of the post adrenaline crash and pain.

    Or

    The soft space in between being teammates and husbands, the undefined moments when Shane and Ilya just exist in each other.

    Summary

    “Shane,” Ilya pops his head inside the sliding glass door, “am I allowed to have a cigarette?”

    Shane looks up from where he’s sitting at kitchen island, texting Hayden about the new baby. “Allowed?”

    /

    Ilya's only allowed to smoke if he's shotgunning with Shane, it's a good compromise.

    Summary

    “Why did we let Harris rope us into this?” Shane mutters as he fidgets with the unbuttoned collar of the shirt underneath his half zipped jacket, and then fiddles with the first button for a bit. “Should I button it up?”

    “If you want to look like a boring accountant, sure,” Ilya replies, taking Shanes’s hands into his own and kissing his knuckles. He looks up at his husband through his lashes, playing coy, and is satisfied to see a dusting of pink on his cheeks as he looks down at their hands. Ilya keeps his lips pressed to Shane’s hand as he says, “We let Harris do this because he is smart and amazing at his job, and because Yuna says it is ‘good for our public image’, makes us seem ‘approachable’.”

    There’d been more than ‘seeming approachable’, of course: with the specialized media in a frenzy over Shane leaving the team that drafted him and that he’d captained to not only back-to-back Stanley Cup wins but to a third one just the season prior following his being outed as both gay and being involved in a long-term relationship with Montreal’s public enemy n°1 on top of that, they had needed to do something to control the narrative, to sway the public in their favor.
