Ok but like when they are husbands their favourite part of their day is getting to go to bed together. And yes now they are lucky they get practice and training and games together- they get so much together but after all those years of so long- so much apart from each other, they are so greedy for time together. And Ilya loves it because they have a routine, he has a night time routine. Teenage would sooner think he was dead at this age than he has a husband and a night time routine. Shane almost always heads upstairs before him, because he likes the do the dishes and kitchen after dinner and in turn Ilya prefers to lock up and sort out Anya for the night. If it’s after a day off or training day they will peel up off the couch- or if it’s after a home game or travel day it’s dinner and then right upstairs.
Shane will go up first, with a kiss for Ilya- to his shoulder or cheek or ear or forehead- wherever he can land one- and then Ilya will go about making sure all the doors and windows are locked and shut, pack away anyas toys and fold the blankets from the couch. He’ll fill up his and Shane’s water bottles, and then Anya will follow him up the stairs once he’s turned off the lights. Shane will be in the shower and Ilya will turn down their bed, get rid of all the extra pillows and fold back the covers, settle Anya in her dog bed with many goodnight kisses and then put their waterbottles on the beside tables.
Sometimes he’ll meet Shane in the shower, share the end of Shane’s shower with him, help him rinse out his hair or kiss his shoulders, steal a cuddle and more kisses under the water. Sometimes Shane will be done by the time Ilya gets in to the bathroom and he’ll just squeeze his hip in passing as he goes to strip and shower. Ilya puts his clothes in the hamper, showers while he watches Shane do his skincare at their double sinks. By the time he’s out of the shower Shane is gone, the smell of his minty toothpaste left behind and it’s so stupid but Ilya misses him, a little, while he brushes his own teeth and scrubs on some moisturiser, the same one Shane uses because he likes that the smell reminds him of him.
Once he’s done he walks into the bedroom and Shane is always laying on Ilya’s side of the bed, (reading or scrolling or sometimes on the phone to his parents) “warming it up” for ilya because he always complains about how cold Ilya’s hands and feet are- and Ilya says it not his fault Shane seems to always run hot and that of course Ilya will feel cold in comparison. It makes Ilya’s heart squeezed, seeing Shane laying in his spot for him. Ever time. And then Ilya will tug on boxers and crawl into bed, make a production of shuffling Shane out of his side of the bed, and he’ll link their feet together under the sheets, because he knows shane doesn’t like his reading interrupted and Ilya will scroll until Shane has read his two chapters and then Shane will neatly fold his glasses and book and place it on the bedside table and Ilya will plug his phone in and then roll into Shane for cuddles now that his reading is done and they talk like that, pressed close together in bed, between soft kisses and squeezes and nuzzles to be closer and they will fall asleep like that, so much love between them and Ilya can’t wait to do it all again the next night.
