Confidence, Poor Judgment, and a Death Wish by TheHeartWantsWhatTheHeartWants

Summary
“Hey, Ilya?” Troy asks, already regretting it. “I was actually going to ask you about someone.”
The moment he says Shane Hollander’s name, the locker room goes quiet, and Troy knows he’s crossed a line he didn’t fully understand.
After that, everything becomes about damage control.
Determined to prove he’s normal, chill, and absolutely not interested in his captain’s best friend, Troy commits to a simple plan: be around Shane as much as possible, in plain sight, and be cool about it. Which is a fine plan, until Troy realises there might be more here than meets the eye?
It’s a reasonable question. Made, unfortunately, with something like a death wish.

Summary
In fall of 2009 Rosa showed up at Jake's apartment unannounced to propose marriage. Which was weird for a number of reasons, primarily because Jake had no idea she even knew where he lived.
"No seriously," he said, once he stopped laughing. "Why're you here."
She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "One thousand push-ups."
"Cool," Jake said. "Let me get my coat."
