    Summary

    This little corner of the world, he thought, had always been his. His shell. His locked rooms. The place he'd built to contain the parts of himself he never let anyone see, the parts that didn't belong anywhere else. The only space where he'd allowed himself to be soft, to be slow, to be a fleshbag capable of hurts and wants.

    It was his body, this cottage. And Ilya had made himself at home in every room.

    Summary

    “Well, Rozanov can’t afford the rehab he needs to get back to the league,” Shane said. “So I’ll pay for it.”
    “And—” Ilya began.
    “And whatever else he needs to get by until he gets himself another contract,” Shane said. As Shane spoke, Ilya largely kept his eyes on the money manager. He’d never gotten to watch someone realize Shane was insane before.

    The reigning NHL MVP can't cover the costs of his recovery after getting in an off-season car wreck. Shane adds Ilya Rozanov to his investment portfolio.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I’m so grateful I get to do this,” Shane said, slowly. “Do you get that? Before we agreed to this I was…”

    Ilya, despite himself, got curious. “What?”

    “Helpless, I guess,” Shane said, after a moment. “Or I felt helpless. You weren’t talking to me, we don’t really know any of the same people, I was relying on podcasts and articles to answer my questions. And after a while there stopped being new podcasts and articles, but I still had so many questions. I hated it. I hated it so much. I was having nightmares, that summer.”

    Ilya turned to him abruptly, slightly horrified. “Hollander, I—”

    “I’m not trying to make you feel bad,” Shane said. “I’m just trying to explain. I don’t like when you act like I’m doing you this huge favor, like you have to make it up to me. I want to do this. If I wasn’t doing this I’d be losing my mind. I had been losing my mind.”

    “Hollander,” Ilya said again, and sighed. “I think maybe you are still losing your mind.”

    “We, uh, Brian and I, that is. We decided to open up the relationship.”

    “Okay?” Ilya says, voice flat. “What is that?”

    Hollander shrugs. His posture has gone stiff again. “It. It means we’re still together, but we can also like...see other people. Or not see, because we’re not dating anyone else but, uh. Fuck. Fuck other people.”

    Oh.

    “And this is why you texted me?” Ilya asks.

    In a way, it’s almost better. Hollander and his boyfriend breaking up and Ilya reaping the rewards would be enjoyable. Ilya having to work for that reward himself, getting the chance to fuck Hollander so good he forgets all about that loser who attached himself to him like a parasite before he was old enough to know better?

    Well. Ilya loves a challenge.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “It’s going to be okay,” Shane promises. “We’ll get through all of this. You’re not going to lose me. Ever.”

    “I’m sorry,” Ilya mumbles into Shane’s neck.

    “Ever,” Shane repeats, accurately sensing Ilya might not fully be able to believe him. “You’re never going to lose me.”

    Maybe Ilya needs to hear it, again and again. Maybe it’s what he’s needed to hear for a while. That all the other things that come along with who they are are worth giving up before him. Because that’s what Shane is saying, right? At least, Ilya thinks. He hopes. He has to hope. He might ruin what they have because of this damn witch, after all. He has to try to believe Shane when he says he won’t lose him because of it.
