    Summary

    It’s dim inside, faint morning light coming from the barely slitted blinds.

    She sees them right away. Ilya is slumped over another man in bed, fingers combing gently through his hair while their mouths slide together. It’s a slow, sweet kiss. Not a precursor to sex. Sympathy clenches in her chest.

    Oh. She shouldn’t be watching this.

    ———

    Svetlana finds out.

    Summary

    If things don’t click between Ilya and Shane, if they can’t properly function and communicate in a professional setting, they won’t win anything. The rest of the team will suffer. And that’ll be Shane’s fault. Ilya led this team to the second round last year when no one even expected them to make the playoffs. Everyone already knows that this is his team. Shane is the one that needs to fit.

    So Shane, simply, will be the best. He will make sure no one can question his place in this league. He will make himself fit.

     

    or, Shane's first year as a Centaur, everyone (Shane) expects great hockey and a perfect marriage. It's not.

    Summary

    "I am trying to find the right words to say something."

    "All right."

    "It's poetry."

    "Yeah? From you?"

    "No. I do not know who. Just something I remember reading once. Think maybe it inspired Russian poet."

    "You read at some point in your life?"

    Smirking, Ilya wiggles even closer. He whispers, "Want to hear or not?"

    Shane's not sure his heart will be able to take it, but he nods.

    Or: As they become closer after their confessions at the cottage, Shane and Ilya bare themselves to each other. Sometimes Ilya feels things so intensely that the English words to describe his emotions escape him.

    For the prompt: Five times Ilya forgot an English word ... and one time Shane did.
