Soulmate AU where Shane and Ilya don’t realize they’re soulmates (or they’re lying to themselves and pretending they don’t know they’re soulmates). After Shane leaves following the tuna melt incident, Ilya gets really bad rejection sickness. It gets so bad that Ilya passes out at practice. He wakes up in the hospital and the doctor tells him about his rejection sickness and urges him to work out his issues with his soulmate. Ilya just nods but he’s not going to bother Shane. Shane doesn’t want him and he won’t force it. It’s better this way.
One night Svetlana is caring for Ilya and she’s had enough. She takes Ilya’s phone while he’s sleeping and sends a text to Jane like ‘Hi this is Ilya’s friend, Svetlana. Look, I don’t know what happened between you and him but I’m begging you to take him back. He has really bad rejection sickness. The doctors are saying it’s the worst case they’ve ever seen. He may die. I don’t want my friend to die. Please.’
Hours later, the doorbell rings. Svetlana opens the door to see Shane Hollander standing there. Before Svetlana can ask any questions, Shane just says ‘I’m Jane’ and she quickly pulls him into the house and guides Shane to Ilya’s room. Ilya wakes up feeling better and he thinks maybe he’s starting to get over the rejection sickness when he realizes arms are wrapped around him. He knows it’s not Svetlana because the arms are too bulky. His eyes snap open and he sees Shane staring back at him. Shane apologizes for how he left, how he was just scared and how he wants Ilya if he’ll have him. Ilya raises up to kiss Shane.
“Of course I’ll have you, you idiot.”
