    Summary

    The sixth grade class this year was a fucking nightmare.

    Ilya wasn’t usually the kind of teacher who liked to label an entire group of kids as anything, because kids are all unique and individual and there was no accurate way to describe an entire class using just one word. He still stands by that, mostly, except this year seems to be the exception because he only needed two words for this group of gremlins: fucking. Nightmare.

     
    Ilya Rozanov teaches sixth grade social studies at Reid Middle School. Shane Hollander teaches eighth grade social studies next door. Together, they’ve been tasked with creating a mentorship program between the sixth and eighth grade classes in an attempt to curb some truly outrageous sixth grade behaviors. The only problem? The two men can barely tolerate each other at the best of times, and October in a middle school is not that. And, there’s the added layer that they both are stupidly in love with each other, because they REALLY don’t know how to go about anything the easy way.

    OR: Two middle school social studies teachers discover they are just about as emotionally mature as their students. Yay frontal lobe development!

    Summary

    “I guess I’m just feeling a little behind? And now everyone is so far ahead of me, I wish I could just have someone who…” he stops himself, before he says too much. He tries to laugh it off. “I don’t even know. I barely know what I’m saying.”

    “You wish you had someone who can show you?” Ilya catches on.

    “Maybe,” Shane says, voice barely louder than a whisper. “It doesn't matter, though. It’s stupid. Let’s just sleep, okay?”

    Ilya is quiet and Shane thinks the conversation has come to an end. That is, until Ilya speaks again. “I could do it.”

    Shane’s heart stops. What the hell does that mean? “Do what?” he laughs, nervously.

    “I could show you.”

     

    - or, shane and ilya are childhood friends and ilya offers to teach shane all about sex. they definitely, totally do NOT have feelings for each other. right?

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is many things—a pain in Shane Hollander’s ass, hockey’s biggest playboy, a better chirper in his second language than most people are in their first, the only player who can challenge Shane for the title of “best of his generation.” But when Shane and Ilya get stuck next to each other on a long-delayed flight to the MLH Awards, Shane realizes something else about him: Ilya Rozanov is hot.

    ***

    Shane and Ilya never hooked up at the CCM shoot. Seven years later, they end up on the same flight from New York City to Las Vegas.

    Summary

    “Did you like them? My parents?”

    Ilya squints at him. “I love them,” he says simply, like it should be obvious. “They’re your parents.”

    But, Shane thinks idly, there's a difference, isn't there, between loving them and liking them?

    (5 times Shane thinks Ilya doesn't like his parents and 1 time he finds out the truth)
