I wrote this with my (proverbial) dick in my hand, and itâs my first time writing snz porn so that has me feeling pretty vulnerable. Iâve always appreciated those of you who post explicit content, but Iâm appreciating from a different lens this time! this is scary! or maybe Iâm just a chronic overthinker. but this is a kink space and we all (most of us?) jork it to a sneeze, so I gotta get my head out of my ass.Â
anyway, I also experimented with tone!! not sure if itâll make a big difference in the reader experience, but Iâm interested to hear what you think!
once again, sorry for always rambling before I get to the horn. Iâll stop here :)Â
post-TLG pwp (except thereâs a lotta love in the details?) in which shane and ilya both have colds. theyâre married, they just won a game, and they want to get off.
or; ilya has no qualms about sneezing during sex and is generally a menace. shane needs to be eased into it but is very down bad for his menace husband. the results are really, really filthy.Â
VERY NSFW!!! 18+ as always, but even adults should be warned about the depravity that follows.
The Centaurs won.
It had been a grueling few days, back-to-back games with the the winter holidays coming closer in view. They still had a few weeks of games packed tight before Christmas, but tonight was the start of a rare two days off for recovery.Â
And it was much needed. A cold was spreading through the team, and if their wins the past two nights were considered, most of the league were likely plagued with something similarâif not worse, given some of the awful plays theyâd been witnessing the past two weeks.Â
Shaneâs drive home from the arena had been easy and quiet, with his husband leaned back in the passenger seat and only occasionally making comments on how they could spend the next couple days. (âSnnfffsnf! We can getâsnnf!âChristmas tree tomorrow. Take Anya with us. And look online forâsnnff-gghâmmânew orm⌠Orma⌠Eh, decorations.â) To Shane, it sounded more like there would be a lot of lounging in order, and a lot of sniffling. (âOrnaments. Snnngff! And weâll see.â)
Anya had been with Shaneâs parents since yesterday afternoon, dropped off before they headed to the arena, what with both Shane and Ilya being under the weather and having back-to-back games. It had been the most logical choice when neither of them were at their best and were going to have two late nights in a row.Â
Ilya had been less than pleased but agreed under the reality that Anya would happier not being alone so muchâand having a staycation with her grandparents (Shaneâs mom had feelings about that, and she most certainly had voiced them).
Normally Shane loved coming home to Anya, loved watching how Ilya would crouch in greeting and kiss words of endearment into her fur like he hadnât seen her in days, like it wasnât ritual to spend his pre-game nap with her in bed. But tonight Shane was glad to share a quiet homecoming with him. He enjoyed the way they were transforming right over the threshold of their front door, going from tired but fulfilled teammates to a pair of husbands with colds who had no obligations beyond dragging each other to the couch between kisses.Â
They were both sniffly and exhausted in that weathering-a-cold way, but the high from winning back-to-back games was taking its time to fizzle out. There was still enough of a buzz left in both of them, and there was no good reason to withhold their bodies from each other when they were already sharing the same cold.
Ilya kissed him gently at first, awkwardly and between steps, little pecks with parted lips that were more for the sake of keeping contact as they ambled further into their home. Shane reacted with short hums of appreciation and roaming hands, because Ilyaâs lips felt far too good against his face to possibly interrupt but he desperately needed to place himself somewhere in the scope of exercising his need for Ilya in return. He wanted to have his cake, eat his cake, and fuck it too.Â
Being on the receiving end of Ilyaâs mouth, when it was at its most tender and occasionally its most filthy, filled him with so much warmth he didnât know what to do with it all. It bled into him until it spilled over, because Ilya was nothing if not a giving lover, and Shane needed a place to store the excess of it (re: right back into Ilyaâs waiting palms, and he knew they would be handing it back and forth, back and forth all night).Â
Shane knew, and weakened over the idea, that no one else would ever have the privilege of experiencing just how selfless Ilyaâs mouth could be. They got vicious digs, while Shane gotâ
They collapsed on the couch together, Ilya lounging in a half-lying sprawl in the corner of the sectional while Shane hovered in a straddle, and Ilya dove forward to mouth at his neck. Shane saw sun-kissed curls as he let his eyes fall shut, and he swore it could have been the light of god flashing over him because surely this had to be heaven.
ââISHHâewh!â
That had come out of nowhere, courtesy of said curls tickling over his already irritated nose, and there was nowhere to turn when he hadnât even known it was coming in the first place.
So, yeah, Shane had sneezed on top of his husbandâs head.
And yeah, that put a fucking wrench in the mood.
Andâof course Ilya was still kissing his neck like nothing had happened.
âIlya, waitââ
âMmh?âÂ
Ilya kept going, and Shane had half a mind let him because his skin was being tugged into Ilyaâs hot mouth as he sucked right on his pulse point, just the way he liked. He groaned and was rewarded with a generous swipe of Ilyaâs tongue, which was a very convincing argument againstâwell, there wasnât any argument at all, but his nose twitched and reminded him of why he asked Ilya to wait in the first place.Â
He sniffed sharply, nose wrinkling, and weakly pushed at Ilyaâs shoulder. âMaybeâahh!âmaybe weâre too sick for this.â
That got Ilyaâs attention.Â
Too much of it, maybe. Ilya straightened, lifting his head and inching back to sit taller with Shane still straddling his lap. His lips were already tinted red, swollen in that just-been-kissed way Shane could die staring at just to prove the point that he could stare at them forever.Â
âYou feel bad, malysh?âÂ
Ilya took his hand off of its place at Shaneâs hip and touched the back of his wrist to Shaneâs forehead, then his cheek. It was a choice so deliberate and thoughtful that it made his stomach flip, which was truthfully a little perplexing. Apparently he needed to add his husbandâs capacity for concern and care to his ever growing list of ways Ilya could get him off.Â
It was also thoroughly frustrating, because he could feel himself getting harder with each passing second.Â
âNo, we just... This is kinda gross, Ilya,â he mumbled but didnât feel all that sure, and that uncertainty proved real as it carried over into his voice. He could hear it, the way it sounded like he believed what he was saying but only halfway meant it. The way his words formed in his mouth one way and shaped into something else entirely once they were out of him.
Ilya rolled his eyes, head falling back in exasperation. âRight. Because nothing we do is gross, ever.â
âShut up, you know what I mean.â
Ilya cupped his hand over Shaneâs crotch. It wasnât exactly a squeeze, but it was enough to make Shane loosen his breath and tilt his hips. âRight now I know your dick is hard enough to rip through your pants.âÂ
But then Ilya was pulling his hand back, and Shane let his own hand ghost over the same space, pressing oh-so-slightly because he was suddenly very aware of the lackâand, in part, because he had to physically hold himself back from letting his hips follow Ilyaâs hand like a dog to its fucking master.Â
Ilya looked down at this, eyes all fire and gratification, like the look he got during a face-off he was confident in winning. Sometimes Shane missed seeing that look on the ice, head-on with Ilya playing dirty and trying to piss him off. And he wasnât sure how much he liked seeing it in bed these days (which was a lot, actually, but he was a sore loser and he usually lost to this).
âNo, never mind. I think you donât need this as much as me.â
âThatâsââ
âNo, no. I need to fuck you so bad I will let you sneeze everywhere.â Ilya motioned in a wide swoop down his body, then sagged in a resigned, overly dramatized way like it was somehow possible to collapse when he was already pressed into the couch. âBut you will let big scary germs win.â
Shaneâs jaw clenched. His temple pulsed. Ilya was playing an angle Shane could see from a mile away, and it was working. âAlright! Alright.â He still wasnât keen on the idea of sneezing all over the place, and on his husband, but his cock was really starting to ache. He gave it a squeeze because, fuck, he couldnât help it. âFine, you win. You win.â
Ilya lolled his head to the side, feigning hopelessness. He wistfully voiced, âOoh, but I will also sneeze on you probably. You wonât like that.â
Shane gritted his teeth. âCanât you just, like, try not to?â
âIt will happen, Shane.â Now Ilya was all serious business, pitching his voice higher and letting his body follow. He traced his fingers over Shaneâs arm. âBy accident, of course. But I cannot control a sneeze.â
Shane considered this. It was true, and it was silly that it needed to be said. The whole conversation was silly, in fact, but Shane had a feeling Ilya wouldnât back down. Shane wouldnât have, anyway. Probably. It was hard to understand how the scales tipped when his weeping dick was on the line.Â
Maybe Ilya, and his tendency to give Shane everything he wanted, was the only way Shane could ever stand to lose. In a way, it made Shane feel like a winner by associationâand because he always got an orgasm out of it.
ââŚcan sneeze⌠meâŚâÂ
âWhat? Sorry, canât hear so well.â Ilya smiled subtly, a smug and self-satisfied sort of kink to his lips that made Shane want to kiss it right off of him. Ilya motioned at his ear in a lazy wave. âVery stuffed up because I have a cold.â
âYou can sneeze on me! God, you can fucking sneeze wherever the fuck you want.â
If he had known that was all it would take, Shane would have said it ages ago. (Minutes, actually, but what were numbers on the timeline of desire? Heâd never been very good at math.) Sure, maybe he had been the one to stop their doings in the first place, but he had been wrong for it. He could admit that now, with Ilyaâs mouth crashing into his.
Shane apologized for it the way he knew how. With his mouth, trailing rushed and frantic kisses across a strong jaw, the soft underside of it where he could practically taste his pulse, the nape where he could best smell the perfect mix of Ilya and shower room soapâ
âH-hheEH-â
Shane started to pull back. Ilyaâs hold on the back of his head tightened, fingers tugging his hair so taut it was practically a dare to keep fucking around and find out that his hair wasnât actually as married to his scalp as he thought. Ilya was simultaneously pulling his hair and pushing him so hard against his collar that the tip of his nose flattened wide against his skin.
â-hâISSHHT!â
Ilya laughed heartily as Shane broke away to roughly rub two fingers under his nose, partly out of shock and partly because it was still tickling.
âFu-uuh!-huhâISSHooh! Fuck you! What was that for?!â He ground the heel of his palm against the underside of his nose, which he knew was arguably gross, but it was itching so badly. It was next level torture, almost on par with the way his dick was twitching in his pants. âKind ofâhuhâISSHuhh! sdnnff! Kind of seems like you want me to sneeze on you, pervert.â
Ilya looked reasonably amused by that. âMmh, no. But I donât mind, and I want you.â His voice dipped low, gravely from his cold. âAnd I want you to kiss my neck some more.â
(Shane was dismayed to realize he had another item to add to the list of things that turned him on, and it was his husbandâs voice when he had a cold. At some point, maybe heâd have to resign from jotting any of it down and just put Ilya, Ilya, Ilya instead. It would sum up the list quite nicely.)Â
Ilya grabbed his bicep with strong fingers. It was like Ilya could ball up all his need in his hand and make Shane feel it through his grip alone, so Shane let himself be pulled forward in a trance fueled by Ilya and his cold-ridden voice, and his insatiable hunger, and so what if they sneezed on each other when he was pretty sure that later he was going to come so hard the proof of it would end up on both their faces.
And between all this lust, they were still fully clothed. It was ridiculous, and he would have to fix that later. Soon probably, but he was already back at Ilyaâs neck.Â
It was hard to tell whether the dip of Ilyaâs neck was wet from the way heâd been mouthing at it moments ago, or because he had sneezed on it. Probably both, which was what he would think if he had the wherewithal to form even half a thought.Â
âHhH-HAAHDt-dzZSHOO!â Ilya sneezed, and now Shane understood why it had been so easy for Ilya to keep kissing through it. âYhhâHIDSCHHT! Ghh-hehh-heEDâZSCHUuh!âÂ
âB-Bleshhâoo,â he managed absently around his wandering tongue, still trying to find a point of entrance, trying to find a place where he could bury his whole mouth right into Ilyaâs throat and feel the vibration of those sneezes directly from his vocal cords with the whole of his tongue.Â
Ilya chuckled, if a little breathy, and Shane started seeing stars. Whether it was laughing, or sneezing, or talkingâhe just needed Ilya to keep on so he could taste his way around the shape of Ilyaâs voice. âSo polite, solnyshko.â Fuck. âAlwaysâsnnghff!âso polite.â
Shane adjusted his hips, angling so he could rut his groin right up against Ilyaâs stomach and, in turn, feel his balls drag over Ilyaâs thick, hard length. It was an odd contortion, one where his spine was curving every which way, but Ilya felt so good. He wanted to thank whoever had the idea of making athletic joggers so thin, maybe mail a note or write an email because he was just that gratefulâand very certain that whoever designed these things also had beautiful husband whose dick they needed to feel the details of even through clothed foreplay. Functional fashion, or something, and his praise for it.Â
âFuck, oh fuuuck. Ilya.â Just as he felt he was about to come in his fucking performance pants (yeah, already, but only because Ilya was tugging his hair again and making awfully crazed noises), Ilya placed his hands against his chest and made him come up for fresh air.Â
âStop, stop.âÂ
âNoooh-hahâIXSCHewhh! No, I canâtââ Shane led with his lips, eyes hooded and caught in building up to another sneeze, and not having the capacity to care, as he dove back in. This was a primal kind of revolt in the face of denial, stripping him of sense and manners and the ability to cover his fucking mouth, apparently. âHhuh! âISSHHhueh! Pleaseââ
âI was wrong, I think.â Ilyaâs hands were firm on his chest, effectively stopping him from doing anything other than sneezing on Ilyaâs outstretched arms. Ilya said, breathless, âYou need this more than me, maybe.âÂ
âFuck off, I donât need anything.â But his voice came out thin, so obviously a lie it made his face flush hot because who was he to deny he needed anything when he had chased after his husband sneeze-forward.
âYou need to take off your clothes before you come in them.â Ilya tried to sound smug, and it almost landed, but he also had that low rasp that meant he was on the brink of losing his fucking mind, too. âYou do want me to fuck you tonight, yes?â It was a surrender, maybe an admission that Ilya was coming completely undone, or at least that was how Shane wanted to take it.Â
âYes, yes, please yes.âÂ
Ilya grabbed the hem of his sweatshirt and let his fingers slide past to reach the shirt under it, too. It was a practiced motion, one theyâd had down pat by the time they were early twenty-somethings and in need of finding the fastest way to get their clothes off when trying to fit hookups into their threadbare pockets of time. This, a decade later, felt just as urgent as that.Â
Shane was bare from the waist up in record time, and Ilya took a moment to be greedy. Shane was impatiently pulling on Ilyaâs Adidas long sleeve (âYou know you donât have to be a stereotype, right? You can wear Reebok, too.â âShane, I told you a thousand times, I am Russian so I must wear Adidas. Is my duty.â) and Ilya was interfering with sloppy kisses to Shaneâs chest.Â
âIlya,â Shane complained on a tight breath. Ilya stopped momentarily, and Shane was about to celebrate the victory by ripping Ilyaâs shirt off whenâ
âHaaHHDâDJSHuuh! HhâDZSCHuuwh!â
Right onto Shaneâs bare chest, but instead of wasting time by allowing Ilya to gather his bearings, he capitalized on the little cognitive hiccup and yanked Ilyaâs shirt over his head. Lust could make a person overlook a lot of things, including having his husbandâs sneezes spattered over his chest.Â
And now they were equally bare chested. Shane wasnât winning, but they at least had equal footing. Then Ilya coughed a laugh and knuckled at his nose and said, âYouâsnnfsnnfff!âwant me so bad,â and it didnât feel very equal anymore.
Well, at least he got to stare at his shirtless husband now. And he also knew how he might be able to tip the scale in his favor this time.Â
He lifted himself from the couch and took a couple heel-to-toe steps back as he slid his hands past his pants. He pushed them down and grabbed himself through his boxer briefs, all while he kicked his pants to the side in what he hoped would be a shocking enough diversion of routine to make Ilya sweat.Â
Ilya watched with heavy eyes. His hands were bracing the cushion under him.
Shane slipped his fingers under the waistband of his briefs, adjusting his erection so the head of his cock slipped out and hit the open air. He felt a little silly, putting on a show he needed to sniffle his way through, but at least Ilya was sniffling tooâwith his mouth hung wide open. Shane let his head fall back with a slow groan, ghosting his fingertips over his still covered shaft.
âand that was when Ilya scrambled off the couch to get to him.
Ilya had his hands on Shaneâs waist in an instant, grip nearly crushing as he toed Shane backwards in slow, pointed steps. Their stomachs were touching, Shaneâs cock trapped between them and Ilya coercing them into moving like they were a single entity.Â
Ilya was close, the sliver of space between their lips so small there was hardly enough room for their stuffy breaths. The side of Ilyaâs nose was pressed against Shaneâs, and he felt like he might sneeze again, but he forgot why that ever mattered.Â
Ilya advanced still, until Shaneâs back pressed against the frigid floor-to-ceiling window facing their backyard. He made a sound, a soft mmhf at the sudden thunk, and he knew there was nowhere left for Ilya to push. He chanced a glance, just a flick of his eyes up to meet Ilyaâs, and felt appeased when Ilya stole his mouth in a kiss.Â
His lips were so plush and warm and gentle, Shane had the urge to barrel forward with his teeth. Love could be funny like that, sometimes making violence feel like the answer to tenderness. Or maybe it was just that tenderness whetted an appetite, and Shane was only human. All animal, respectively.Â
âHhehâISHHuh! Sor-sooorrh-ihhâHISHHeuh!â He barely had the sense to pull out of the kiss before he sneezed, but instinct luckily took over. Sneezing into Ilyaâs mouth would have been a step too far for him, even this far gone. Instead he directed them over Ilyaâs shoulder at the last second, shivering as he was pulled from the daze of a well earned kiss. The window was freezing against his back, what with snow sticking to the ground outside, and it was doing something strange to his nose to have the weather creeping into his skin. âHeh! HâIISHHehw-hehâISHHâNGâuhh!â
âOoh, sorry, malysh. Is too cold, yes?â Ilya took a quick step back and brought Shane with him, keeping them belly to belly, as if they might not survive the winter otherwise. He rubbed warm hands down Shaneâs goosefleshed back, pulling a few pleased shivers out of Shane, and pressed a couple steady kisses to the corner of his mouth. âWe should go to the bedroom. Will be much warmer.âÂ
âYeah, good idea.â Shane couldnât stop sniffling, and really, neither could Ilya. âNeed some tissues, anyway.â
He considered picking up his clothes left in front of the couch, but his nose really was running. The spilling over his philtrum kind, which he hated, and his cock was still hard and mocking him, twitching and pulling the waistband of his briefs with itâwhich he hated, too.Â
Which is why he didnât say anything when Ilya dropped trou right there, bare naked with Shane still pressed up against him in front of the window, and carefully toe-step-toe-stepped them off. He let Ilya drag him along, clothes forgotten on the floor because theyâd still be there later for Shane to bitch about. He could set himself and all his particularities aside to make room for Ilya and his messes, and the way he was wet-nose-kissing his neck again.Â
They didnât separate until they reached the bed, which Shane tried to point out was where they were actually supposed to touch, but Ilya shushed him and pushed him back onto the mattress with a smile. He hooked his fingers into the waistband of Shaneâs briefs and pulled them off in a quick, clean swoopâbut hey, Shane had at least helped by lifting his hips. It mattered, that they were a team at home too.
âYou need tissue, yes?â Ilya had a twisted smile on him, the kind that made Shaneâs toes curl in sometimes great and sometimes not so great (terrifying) ways. It was a smile he used for threats; when he threatened to suck Shane dry, when he threatened to break a rival's nose for checking Shane too hard into the boards.Â
âUh⌠Yeah,â Shane said warily. âPlease.âÂ
Ilya hovered over Shane, leaning in to press a soft, chaste kiss against his forehead. It was a diversion, a clever one that let Shaneâs guard down just enough so Ilya could wipe Shaneâs nose with his briefs still clutched in his hand. Shane jerked his head sideways and scrubbed the back of his hand against his nose like that might do anything to take the action back.
âChrist, Ilya! Thatâs fucking gross.â
âSorry, you would like it better if it was my dirty underwear, huh? Sexier that way.â Ilya brought Shaneâs briefs to his nose, the same ones heâd just used to wipe up Shane, and blew his nose into them like it was some fucked up competition.Â
âStop fucking aroundââ
âMmh, I think you like it.â Ilya finally dropped the briefs, which Shane made a note to toss in the trash later (or burn, or throw in the trash and burn the whole trash can), and prowled his way on top of Shane until they were chest to chest with Ilyaâs nose brushing over freckles. âAt least, he does.â Ilya rutted his hips against Shane, sliding their cocks together. âHe likes it very much.â
âItâsâahhâyouâre justâmmhhâŚâ
âJust? Just so sexy you want to sniff my underwear like pervert?â
âFuck off! No way.â
âMy underwear holds my dick, your mouth holds my dick, why not have your mouth hold my underwear?â Ilya held Shaneâs gaze, and Shane didnât back down, keeping an irritated glare. âAhh, youâre no fun. Fine, get your tissue. Blow your nose like aâŚâ Ilya motioned in the air as he pivoted his knee against the mattress to sit beside Shane. âLike a⌠What is that thing? David says a lot. ModelâŚâ
âModel citizâuh⌠Maybe donât bring up my dad when weâre about to have sex.â Shane frowned and craned his body sideways, just enough to finger-grip the corner of the tissue box. He inched it into his hand and pulled the entire thing back with him, yanking out exactly two tissues so he could fold them over and properly blow his nose. âWe should keep this in reach⌠Mâgoing to need more of them.âÂ
âWhatever you want.â Ilya smoothed his palm along Shaneâs shoulder, massaging circles into his trap with his thumb. âNow can I fuck you?âÂ
Shane, momentarily, was at a loss because yeah, he still wanted to be fucked, but there was a lull in the energy after all the shivering and the brief-blowing and godâeven his dad. But if he looked at the facts, he was still hard and Ilyaâs dick looked ready to shoot off.Â
(Which was hot, sure, but it also pissed him off because why did he go all jelly-boned and blood-down-south when Ilya felt his forehead and sounded sick, while Ilya seemed to get off on testing his limitsâexcept, really, that did something to Shane too, soâŚ)
Ilya smirked. âYou look like you want to eat me.â
And damn it, he did.Â
Because truthfully, Shane liked to make Ilya laugh. Not the kind of laugh when he was two seconds away from a one-two-punch, when his mouth would curl and his laugh sounded more like an angry spit. He liked making Ilya laugh with teeth on display and cheeks flushed with that cherry-tint joy, and so maybe Shane had to be the punchline sometimes, if only because Ilya loved teaching Shane that embarrassment didnât always have to be kept close. It could happen, and then it could pass, and he would be okay.Â
There was just no good reason for Shane to feel embarrassed when Ilya loved and loved and loved.Â
Ilya seemed to understand when Shane suddenly croaked, âI love you.âÂ
They were a mess of limbs in an instant, opening their mouths in a wild, untamable greed. Their recycled breaths, one chest to anotherâbetween the two of them, they probably werenât getting enough oxygen, which Shane would use as the excuse for how he kept kissing the corner of Ilyaâs mouth when he barely turned his head to sneeze (hHRâSCHUUuh!).
If only the brain were advanced enough to take orders from someone desperate enough, if only a person could pick and choose when to see everything in slow motion. If Shane had a choice, every breath would be draggingly slow, every touch would be felt with such sharpness he would be able to pinpoint every inch of his skin and the corresponding touch. Instead, he was a mess of gasps and shivers and heat pooling in his belly, and it made it all so hard to keep a single cognitive thought.Â
It came in blurry snapshots, of hip bones grinding into each other and sniffly kisses left sticky on every possible inch of skin, of being lifted and deposited nearer to the head of the bed, with a pillow so thoughtfully tucked under his sacrum while his legs were forced to bend above him.Â
Ilyaâs mouth was scribing, writing his hunger straight down Shaneâs torso with his tongue and marking it further with teeth. Shane took hold of one of his own legs, freeing Ilyaâs to roam his chest and grab greedy palmfuls of muscle. Shaneâs cock was jumping on his stomach, the head of it staring straight at him from this angle and begging to be touched, but he couldnât remember how to move his other hand from its clenched grasp in the sheets. It was his only anchor as Ilya moved his mouth down.Â
âHhDTâZSCHHT!âÂ
Shane felt it on his balls first, a strange wisp of cool air barely escaping past clenched teeth like Ilya had at least actually tried to stop the sneeze from escaping.Â
Now he felt them on his inner thigh, leaving behind a dampness that cooled in a way he could pretend was made from hungry kisses. It was funny, the way his cock lurched at the thought. Perhaps being sneezed on wasnât the worst thing. He wasnât going to add it to the list or anything, but they did have the same cold, and he never cowered in the face of having Ilyaâs saliva kissed onto every inch of him, and half his DNA was probably fused with Ilyaâs by now if the past thirteen years had anything to show for itâ
âOh, fuckââ
His hips jumped involuntarily, Ilyaâs tongue slipping lazy circles around his rim. He felt like a live wire, fraying at the ends and sparking with electricity that just needed somewhere to go. Ilya passed his tongue with variationâin fat strips, wet and smooth; in agonizingly slow, firm pushes; in wet kisses that felt like suction.Â
Shane settled into it, raising his hips to meet Ilyaâs mouth because fuck, Ilya always made him feel like he was allowed to take and take and take.Â
(His entire history of learning about [good] sex and understanding how it could feel like this, was with the man between his legs. This was the man who first taught him how to take fingers down his throat, how to arch on a face and not worry himself to death over the probability of suffocation by ass.)
With the angle, Ilyaâs nose bumped right into Shaneâs taint, an uneven and regrettably short-lived rhythm with each sneeze. It left Shane crying out in surprise and absolute delirious praise. It was so overwhelming it made him shiver all the way to his fingertips, hardly noticing as he sneezed around wanton moans.
Ilya growled, a dangerous sound Shane could always clock as meaning he was about to get his ass split and handed to him. Shane gave a distressed groan when Ilyaâs mouth pulled away from him, but it choked in his throat when Ilya grabbed his cock in a loose hold. His thumb rubbed the underside of it gently, and it was too dry but too good to do anything about it other than let him.
âOpen.â Ilyaâs voice sounded wrecked, a little congested and thoroughly thick with the heaviness arousal brought on. Ilya shoved two fingers into his mouth, and he sucked instinctively. âMmh, good.âÂ
Ilya pushed his fingers deeper, pressing down on the back of Shaneâs tongue and nearly choking him. Shane forced his tongue up, separating Ilyaâs fingers wide and swirling his tongue around them. Ilya looked positively ready to rewardâor punishâhim for it.Â
âHhâk!â
Shane tried to pull away, nostrils flaring wide and him struggling to breathe with Ilya finger-fucking his mouth, but Ilya doubled down and curled his fingers on either side of his bite. His thumb pressed firmly under Shaneâs chin, and the hand on his cock squeezed. Shaneâs eyes rolled back automatically.
âNo.â Ilya said it firmly, a command. âStay.âÂ
âHhgâSHHngh! HhGâgshhngh!âÂ
It was a power play, probably, because then Ilyaâs fingers were out of his mouth and touching his rim, one bravely prodding past the tight ring of muscle. And Shane didnât have time to be mad whenâ
âFuck! Fuck, pleaseââÂ
Ilya worked his fingers faster than usual, already knuckle deep and spreading him. Ilyaâs hand moved from his cock to the back of Shaneâs knee, forcing his hips to rock back again. Shane, mouth hanging open, gripped hold of his own cock to hold it still or hold himself back or just to hold for the sake of it because exactly what is he supposed to do whenâ
âHhaAH-HAHâDSCHHuh!âÂ
Ilyaâs fingers crooked when he sneezed, forcing the tips of them so hard against Shaneâs prostate he thought he might die. He might die like this, with words stuck in the back of his sore and scratchy throat, with his nose running and and his eyes squeezed tightly shut in silent, excruciating ecstasy.Â
âYou like?âÂ
And fuck him, because how was he supposed to answer that with his throat so tight and head so gone. He dragged a breath, wheezing and desperate, willing himself to stop writhing in search of more.Â
Ilya took his fingers out. âAnswer me.âÂ
If he thought he had been close to death before, this was something beyond it. This was incoherence, this was being at the edge of bliss and having it ripped from you and left empty. It was worse than death, a searching amble through purgatory with every other place just out of reachâand sorely missed. It was yearning for anything.
âI like, I like, I fucking like, please justâaahhââ
âYes? Just?âÂ
âFuck me, please, fuck me, I-need-you-in-me!â
Ilya had a bottle of lube already in his hand (procured by magic was Shaneâs guess, but heâd been flying halfway to another dimension), squirting a generous amount. He felt what he assumed to be the ministrations of Ilya slicking himself up, and then the gentle, delicious push of thick head against his entrance. He went in surprisingly easy, Shaneâs body opening up in welcome.
âHheh! HehâISHHeuh!âÂ
Shane sneezed, and Ilya let out a wounded noise.Â
âFUCKâdo that again.â
Shane had sneezed, of all the things he could have done, and Ilya asked him to do it again.
âWhaâIlya, what, what are youââ He felt frantic, fingers gripping Ilyaâs shoulders so tight he might leave marks. Shane was ready to be filled to the brim and Ilya was tense and still, asking him to sneeze. He hooked his hands behind Ilyaâs neck and pulled him down closer, to which Ilya had to brace his elbows against the bed as he hovered, red-faced, right over Shane. âFuck me, god, just fuck me.â
âYouâfeel so fucking good. When you sneeze. Is likeâŚâ Ilya moved again, a slow pull out and in, and groaned. âFeel fucking tight.âÂ
Shane wasnât sure he understood, but Ilya was fucking him again, and that was all that mattered. Slowly, enough that he could practically feel the details of Ilyaâs cock against the sensitive walls inside him. He rolled his hips, matching Ilyaâs pace and letting a stream of nonsensical sounds fall out of him.Â
âHHURHhâISSCHUuh!â That landed on Shaneâs shoulder, and simultaneously sent Ilyaâs hips snapping forward in a much harder, deeper thrust. âHUHâDZSHUh!â
So maybe Shane didnât understand what Ilya had liked about Shane sneezing while inside him, but Shane certainly could get behind Ilya sneezing again when it made him fuck so hard.Â
Ilya drew his hips back and thrust his cock back in, intentionally this time. Shaneâs lower half felt somehow numb and on fire, his swollen cock trapped between their bellies as Ilya fucked him more and more and harder, with the head of his dick pressing Shaneâs prostate as he went in and passing over it in luscious thrusts.Â
âOh god,â Shane rasped. He clutched at the back of Ilyaâs neck, fingers twisting in sweat damp curls and pulling hard in an effort to gain some semblance of control. He wanted to stop his back from bowing, from angling his hips any further away from the perfect rhythm Ilya was keeping, but the pressure of Ilyaâs abs on his cock was near impossible to resist. âHoly shit, I canâtââ His groans evolved, changing shape as he came further undone, leaving him a mess of husky whimpers and shaking limbs. He turned his head, hiding his cheek against the sheets when he let out a particularly loud whine.
Ilya wouldnât stand for it. He stole Shaneâs mouth in a kiss, bringing him back, and mumbled hysterically into his mouth, âStay, stay, because your noseâso red, and fuck, so cuteâand frecklesâmake your face look⌠nngh, like beach⌠with sunset, andâoh godâneed to lookââ
Ilya didnât sound far behind, or maybe Shane had the race backwards entirely. Maybe Ilya was closer, or maybe there wasnât any finishing line at all. Ilya sounded positively insane, like he could barely form a coherent thought. And Shane only half understood what Ilya meant about his red nose and his freckles and sunsets, but it sounded and felt so good coming from his mouth, muttered into Shaneâs. It sounded like Ilya was in a place of worship, like perhaps alters werenât the only place you should get down on your knees and beg, and that made Shane feel like a god.
âHUDT-DZSCHuuh! RRHâSCHUuh!âÂ
Ilyaâs sneezes misted Shaneâs cheek and Shane felt fucked to heaven and hell andâgod, Mordor, for all he knew. But he did know he was flying from his body, the frantic pull of a universe heâd never been, and he needed Ilyaâs mouth to bring him back. He grabbed Ilyaâs face, palms on cheeks and fingers gripping his scalp, and kissed him hard. His balls pulled tight and his cock jumped angrily between their stomachs, spilling wet and hot and sticky. He gasped his breaths and groans with his tongue in Ilyaâs mouth.
He was still shuddering through his orgasm when a sudden, sharp jolt pricked high in his nose. Sneezing after coming happened sometimes (heâd heard from Hayden, something about seeing an article on it and it being some kind of neural something-or-other.), but it had never happened to him. And not with Ilya still inside of him.
He could feel it, coming back to his body now, the way he clenched around Ilyaâs length. He felt how Ilya pulsed in response, and then Ilya groaned tight and high and stuttered, slamming into him and stilling.Â
Ilya collapsed on top of him after, effectively stealing the breath from Shane, both of them sagging with tired hurrumphâs. Their chests heaved together, pressing into each other in a seesaw sort of synchronization, with Shaneâs chest up when Ilyaâs went down, and vice versa. Their hearts pounded in tandem, trying to burst out of them and lay plainly on the sheets beside them like a reminder that they were still there, the hearts behind it all.Â
They laughed.
It was light at first, just breathy little chuckles of disbelief, and then it morphed into belly deep laughing, and holding each other through it.Â
Shane wiped at his eyes, tearing from both his cold and the laughter. âWhat the fuck was that?â
âI donât know.â Ilya laughed again, lifting his head and grinning with boyish joy. Shane couldnât help but kiss him again, a gentle peck. âBut I fucking love it.â
âMmh, yeah. Me too, actually.â
Ilya got up and stumbled into the bathroom. Shane could hear the shower turn on but he stayed on his back, still trembling through glowing aftermath, little vibrations easing through him even when Ilya came back and wiped him off with a warm, damp cloth. It cooled his skin and made him shiver, full bodied this time, and in turn made him sneeze.Â
âHuhâISSHeuh! Heh! HâISSHâuh!â
âBless you.â Ilya held out his hand. âGet up. Shower is warm now.â
They showered together, lazy touches and lazier kisses as they washed their sweat (and germs) down the drain. They were both shivering as they took turns towel drying each otherâs hair, teeth chattering and soft sniffles punctuating the sleepy silence they had settled into.Â
Once finished, Ilya patted Shaneâs ass through the towel looped around his waist. âWear your Christmas pajamas. The thick ones, or else maybe you get worse.âÂ
âYouâre one to talk. Wear yours, too.â They had matching ones, from the Christmas before when Ilya had insisted.
They both wore more clothes to bed that night than usual. Shane could count on two hands the number of times they had gone to bed with both of them covered limb to limb. The chill of early December didnât usually stop them from needing to be skin to skin, but this shared cold made it trickier.
They settled under the blankets together, with Ilya on his back and Shane curled into his chest. Ilyaâs hand crawled under Shaneâs fleece shirt until he was up to his elbow in it, hand flat between his shoulder blades. Shaneâs hand slid under Ilyaâs matching shirt, until his arm was resting over his stomach and his hand was cupping over prominent lats.
Sleepy and sated, Shane didnât feel the need to pull away when he sneezed a soft, âHehâisshuuh!â At the same time, Ilya wrenched forward, over Shaneâs head with a stronger, âHAhâDZSHOoh!â
âBless you,â Shane muttered, while Ilya said in perfect synchronization, âBudâzdorov.â
It set off a war of blessings.
âĂ tes souhaits.â
âGesundheit.â
Shane scoffed. âYou donât even speak German.â
Ilya raised a brow. âBut I know Gesundheit.â
âOkay, then, salud."
âUz veselibu.â
âWhatâs that one?â
âFrom Latvia.â
Shane balked. âHow do you even know thatââ
âI am smart, Shane. And Latvia is a neighbor country. To Russia.â
âYeah, but⌠Russiaâs huge.â
âAnd Canada is sooo close to Mexico, Mr. Salud?â
âOkay, go to hell.â
âHah! So you lose.â
âNo, thatâs my blessing. Go to hell. Iâm gonna say that next time you sneeze.âÂ
That made Ilya wheeze a laugh, which then made Shane playfully thwack his palm against his side. They settled again, Ilya still punctuating the calm quiet with sleepy, adoring chuckles, and Shane smiling into his chest.
Unfortunately, between the two of them, Shane was the first to sneeze next. âHheh! HehâiSHHeuh!â
âGo to hell, Shane.â
âOh, fuck you!â
a/n: as you can see, Iâm thoroughly confused about how I want to use parentheses and italics :â)
now I understand the power of writing porn. I wanted it to go on forever!!! I couldnât stop!!! I grappled over just how many ways I could write he snz and moan like a whore and snz again without it becoming more redundant than it already is. I guess everyone deserves to cum in the end amirightÂ
this is so ridiculously horny. if I thought fluff could pull emotions out of me, ho boy! whatever this is, Iâm gonna live in it now.Â
also, what is the least cringey way to write ass eating? I have no idea but I refuse to write âfluttering holeâ and I would like some more alternatives to it.
double also, what would you write if theyâre wearing boxer briefs? just keep saying boxer briefs? boxers? briefs? undies (lol)? let me know your thoughtsÂ

Ilya found out in the February of 2018.
Wellâ he didn't necessarily find out anything himself. Ilya thought he knew Shane better than himself, but Shane had managed to keep one thing locked away. It eventually had to come out.
Shane had been mentally preparing himself all morning to tell Ilya about his kink. He couldn't hold it back anymore, not when it wouldn't go away. Shane tried to will away the thoughts and fantasies but they wouldn't budge, even after a whole decade.
He really tried, though.
He started with a harsher workout than usual, really putting his all into the equipment, so he wouldn't have any second thoughts. He needed to feel the buzz from all of the movement that helped still his brain.
After that, he had some light oats with some small cut-up bits of a banana. Nice, simple and healthy. Less stress.
He even deep-cleaned his house, hoovering the carpets and scrubbing his bathroom clean. The chemicals sure helped dull that mess in his head.
Shane was stiffly lounging on his couch when he heard the familiar beeps of his front keypad being unlocked, Ilya stepping into his threshold.
Shane jumped to his feet, feeling more nervous than he had in months. Ilya never made him nervous anymore, because they were each other's to finally enjoy.
"You wanted to talk?" Ilya began, padding into Shane's home after taking off his shoes by the door. They hadn't seen each other in a month, but Ilya was in town for hockey.
Shane nodded, not knowing what to do with his hands. "Yeahâ I did. Sit, please."
Ilya raised his brows, flopping down on Shane's couch. "This sounds extremely serious. Who died?"
"Nobody died," Shane took a breath, pacing for a second before sitting down with Ilya. Fuck, could he lose Ilya over this kink? Maybe this was a bad idea.
Ilya could sense Shane's internal spiral, placing a cautionary hand on his boyfriend's shoulder. "Hey. It's okay, don't think. Let's talk."
Shane nodded swiftly, rubbing his eyes. He could barely even look at Ilya.
Shane cleared his throat, the couch feeling suddenly too uncomfortable even though Shane carefully picked out each piece of his furniture to his liking.
"I have.. a thing," He started, squinting as he rubbed his temples.
"A dildo? Yes, you've already told me this before," Ilya scoffed softly.
"Don't be an asshole right now, please. Don't laugh. I seriously don't know what the fuck I'd do if you were to laugh in my face right now, fuckâ "
Ilya frowned, Shane was so nervous. "I was joking, Hollander. I'm sorry. I won't laugh, yes? Nobody is laughing."
Shane nodded at the reassurance, trying to think of how to say what he needed to say. Trying to think of how much he should say. Would Ilya even understand?
"There's something I haven't told you about myself. A kink," Shane used his hands to help him speak, looking at the coffee table in front of him.
Ilya blinked, fiddling with his golden crucifix. "Okay.."
Shane glanced at Ilya to attempt to get a read on the Russian's expression, quickly looking away after succeeding. Ilya looked relaxed, not judgmental or humorous.
"It's.. basicallyâ I enjoy.. sneezes?" Shane mumbled, his face heating up against his will as he side-eyed Ilya.
It was silent for a minute too long before Ilya spoke. "Sneezes? Like achoo achoo? Those?"
"Yes," Shane gritted weakly, rubbing the cluster of muscles in his forearm. "It's a kinkâ I've looked it up. There's a whole forum of people online. I've known for a long time, actually."
Ilya nodded, rubbing at his chin. "This is it?"
"What do you mean 'this is it'? You don't care?" Shane's voice wobbled a little, now looking at Ilya. "You're not disgusted?"
Ilya shook his head, looking genuinely confused. "Why would I be disgusted? At least you're not into.. shit, or something. Is fine, Shane." Ilya blinked, rubbing the chain of his crucifix. "This is nothing compared to what I hear the guys in locker room say."
Shane raised his brows, disbelief painting his features. "You're justâ okay. It's seriously okay with you?"
Ilya nodded, shrugging. "Tell me more, though. What gets you going about it?"
Shane couldn't help but flush, scrubbing at his eyes. He'd never had the opportunity to verbalise his kink to anyone. He hadn't been able to connect with the people in the forum out of shame.
"I don't think I could put it into words, but. I like.. I don't know. Colds. Allergies. How it all seems like such a dirty thing, yet everyone sneezes. Sickness isn't erotic. My brain just decided to enjoy them."
Ilya grinned a little, rubbing his crucifix on his lower lip. "Who knew Shane Hollander could be such a little freak?"
"Oh, fuck you. You're the freak," Shane mumbled, crawling over to Ilya.
"I wouldn't mind if you got off to my sneezes, or, whatever. What do you fantasise about?" Ilya mumbled into Shane's neck, holding him on his lap.
The conversation continued into late nightâ which mostly just consisted of Shane loosening up and telling Ilya some of his fantasies. Ilya seemed okay with it all. Maybe he was more okay with it than Shane ever thought he'd be.
* * *
Ilya's first allergic reaction since finding out about Shaneâs kink unfortunately had to happen without Shane.
His nose had been buzzing ever since he stepped foot into the Raiders locker room to play a home game. They were scheduled to play against Ottawa today, which was easy work.
Ilya pawed at his nose as he got his uniform out of his duffel bag, sniffling and grunting as he went.
Someone's cologne was not being so friendly to his nose this evening, but that obviously wasn't going to stop Ilya Rozanov from playing. Especially as team captain.
Once Ilya's uniform was on correctly, he sat on the bench and eyed the rest of the guys as they took their time getting on their own uniforms. Ilya couldn't help but continue to prod and rub at his nose, sniffling as he chewed on his mouth guard.
His original dull tickle swiftly moved into the tip of Ilya's nose, triggering some itchy sneezes. "Hah'tsHH!! Hahh...haaH'TSHH!! Hah'ktSHH! Snndf."
He directed them down to the floor in between his legs. He wasn't sick, so there was no point in covering. Nobody even blessed him anymore, Ilya had been known for his pre-game sneezes.
He found himself immediately thinking of the private conversation between himself and Shane. Shane's kink.
Ilya's cheeks grew unnecessarily hot as he imagined Shane's face if he were to witness Ilya's little fit just then. His dick felt suddenly all too restrained in his compression shorts.
Fuck, he was getting hard. Did his own sneezing just turn him on? No, no. God, he had gotten soft. The thought of turning Shane on turned him on beyond belief, and if sneezing was the thing to do it? So be it.
Pleasing him pleases me, is what Ilya told himself.
He alternated between pushing down on his bulge subtly and wiping at his nose. Now wasn't the time for these thoughts, they had a game to win.
Ilya's hockey headspace clicked as soon as his skates hit the ice, winning the faceoff against a who-knows-who Ottawa rookie and scoring two pucks in the first two periods.
Needless to say, he was doing amazing. He took some opportunities to swipe at his itchyâ now runny nose whenever he passed the puck to a teammate.
* * *
Shane was currently in a hotel room in New York, accompanied by Hayden. Wellâ not currently. Hayden was out somewhere doing god knows what before they had mandatory practice later at 7 pm before tomorrow's big game.
So, this gave Shane some time for himself. He decided to hop on some random sports channel to catch a hockey game and little did he know, Boston was currently playing against Ottawa.
He put on his glasses, clicking on the livestream. He'd seen Ilya play one hundred thousand times before, but it never got old to analyse the Russian's elegance on the ice. Or his brutality.
The livestream greeted Shane with some commentators.
"âThe Eastern Conference with 21 games to play, will continue their attempt to climb it when they face the slumping Toronto Maple Leafs at Prudential Center. Don't miss that."
"Rozanov is looking pretty good on the ice tonight. Those gloves keep coming up to tend to his nose, though. He needs to focus on the puck, not that nose."
The other commentator spoke up. "Cut the guy some slack, he's already scored two for Boston."
Shane squinted at the screen, looking for the familiar 81 to see what the commentators were talking about. Ilya did seem to be touching his nose whenever he wasn't in the thick of it. Huh.
As Shane witnessed a live Boston win, he sent Ilya a text.
Montreal Jane :
16:57 Is your nose broken or something? Congrats on beating my hometown, I guess.
Shane put his phone to the side, not expecting a text back for a while. Ilya would surely be off celebrating a hometown win.
His phone dinged several minutes later.
Boston Lily :
17:09 Not broken, allergic. đ
Shane stared at the text. The emoji. Then the text again.
He didn't even know how to respond, especially with last week's conversation. He ended up leaving the text read, getting up to change into gym clothes for practice later. Anything to keep his mind occupied.
His phone dinged again after Shane had finished changing into his gym clothes. Shane cautiously eyed the notification. Boston Lily.
Shane sighed dramatically, picking up his phone to look at whatever Ilya had sent him.
Boston Lily :
17:16 (1 Attachment)
This is me because you left me on read.
The photo that Ilya attached showed the Russian taking a mirror selfie in the locker room of the TD Garden arena.
Ilya was jersey-less, wearing his hockey pants with a pout on his lips looking into his own eyes. What really stood out to Shane was Ilya's pink, irritated-looking nose with some tissue tucked in the fingers that held his phone. The Russian had sent that with intent. On purpose. Fully knowing and aware.
Shane silently cursed, zooming in on the photo. He could feel his abdomen tighten just from looking at the picture. His pecs were turning pink. His noseâ fuck.
Montreal Jane :
17:20 Were you expecting a compliment?
Shane snickered at his own text, his thumb pressing send as he rested back in bed. Catching a glimpse of Ilya's allergy-ridden nose without the blockage of a helmet should not be turning him on this much.
Boston Lily :
17:20 You looked at my picture for 4 minutes, so yes. đ
"Oh, this asshole.." Shane mumbled to himself in the quiet of his New York hotel room as he eyed the text, holding his phone in one hand. Out of spite, he wouldn't send a compliment over text.
Shane ended up coming from just looking at the picture, along with his hand and his wonderful imagination. Totally out of spite for Ilya. Totally. Absolutely not from his nose.
And if Ilya was getting himself off to the thought of Shane coming to his picture? Shane would never find out.
* * *
The next time it happened, Ilya was unfortunately not with Shane for the second time.
He was currently sat in front of an audience of about 150 people for a press conference, cameras and lights blocking his view of the faces in the crowd.
He was sitting with three other guys on his team that he wasn't close with, but could definitely praise them. They were better sportsmen than Hayden Pike, that is.
Ilya watched as three makeup artists scuttled around, patiently waiting for his turn. He didn't even know why he got chosen for these things anymore, he couldn't perform a detailed response the way his English teammates could. It made him feel less than.
Ilya had been quite sniffly all morning, but that wasn't weird for him. Sometimes he had days where his nose wouldn't leave him alone, he was used to the familiar feeling.
One of the makeup artists eventually made her way to Ilya, not giving him any warnings as she dabbed a brush along his cheekbones.
He blinked, trying not to make a snarky comment on it. Sit still and don't talk where the instructions the boys were given, and he would listen. Ilya hated upsetting the higher ranks. Especially his coach.
The makeup lady tapped some powder onto his forehead and chin, moving to dust the brush along his nose. Unfortunately, she caught him on a very sensitive day.
He moved his head down, cupping a hand over the lower half of his face, "Ht'ksâ Hnn'gtt! Nn'gshh! In'gsh!" He sniffled desperately, ears turning red as he heard his own sneezes loudly mirrored back to him by the amplifiers around the room. He had forgotten he had a mic strapped to his chest. He managed to stifle against his hand, fortunately.
"That's enough, Rozanov. Maria? Thank you," Coach LeClair quipped, sending away the makeup artist as he glared at Ilya. As if he could help a natural human reaction, Jesus Christ.
"Sorry.." Ilya caught his bearings, sniffling profusely as he wiped his hand on his dress pants under the table. He blinked over at the cameras, seeing that the livestream for the MLH had not yet started.
Ilya felt disappointed. He wanted Shane to see that fit, live on television. Ilya knew Shane was bundled up somewhere waiting for the stream to commence, as always.
He furrowed his brow at his own train of thought. What?
And then, naturally, he couldn't help but imagine the look on Shane's face if he witnessed that fit.
Fuck. He was getting hard again.
Ilya squeezed his legs together under the privacy of the table and its covering, trying his very best not to think about Shane right now.
If Ilya was going to pop a boner after every sneeze, this would be a problem. He never would have thought sneezing could do this to him. Had Shane's kink rubbed off on him? Surely not.
* * *
The third time was finally something.
Ilya had invited Shane over to his Boston house, since their schedules finally seemed to line up.
Ilya was up on his feet as he heard the expected knock, opening the door for Shane. Shane's eyes lit up every time he entered Ilya's home, as if he was seeing it for the first time over and over again.
"We have not seen each other in forever. Or called," Ilya tried not to whine but his speech still came off as needy as he walked Shane to the couch, taking Shane's jacket from his hands to hang it up.
"It's only been about two weeks. You went six months without contacting me once," Shane mumbled with a little smile, sitting himself down on the familiar couch.
"No, you lie," Ilya mumbled, coming to join Shane on his couch. Ilya felt slightlyâ nervous? A total foreign feeling for the normally confident Russian.
"I'm.. sorry if I scared you away. With photograph," Ilya eyed Shane, fixing his crucifix on his neck even though it didn't need fixing.
Shane's face remained blasĂŠ as he shook his head, lapping at his lips. "What? No. No, why would that scare me away?" Shane asked, genuinely dumbfounded.
Ilya blinked, eyes assessing Shane's body language. "Well, I don't know. You didn't text me after my press conference."
"I've just been busy," Shane explained, fixing the neckline of his shirt. "I actually thoroughly enjoyed your photo."
"Ah, you are perverted. I like it," Ilya snickered, rubbing his face with relief. So he hadn't read the situation wrong? Great.
"Can't say I expected photographic evidence, though," Shane smiled, moving to straddle Ilya as if it was natural.
Ilya shrugged, eyeing Shane's neck pulse. "I just want to get this right. Your kink."
Shane exhaled softly, holding onto Ilya. "That's more than enough. You're doing way more than most people would."
Ilya just smiled, pulling Shane closer to hide the fact that he was close to tearing up. Shane was so appreciative over the bare minimum, it was insane.
Ilya took a deep breath through his nose as he fit into Shane's neck crook like a missing puzzle piece, holding the Canadian by his waist through his hoodie. "You smell nice. New cologne?"
Shane nodded against Ilya, thumbs rubbing small circles into Ilya's shoulders. "I picked it up at an airport somewhere last week."
"Mmm," Ilya pressed kisses to Shane's neck, feeling saliva slide down Shane's throat as he swallowed against Ilya's lips. "Vanilla is good. Not many men choose this scent."
Shane chuckled lightly, kissing into Ilya's curls. "Don't go calling me a girl now."
"My wife," Ilya mumbled into Shane's neck, his lower abdomen beginning to warm up in a way that felt comfortable. The sensation was soon mentally disregarded as an odd tickle flared in the back of Ilya's nose. "Pretty.. hih.."
Ilya pressed his nose into Shane's neck as a poor attempt at quelling the tickle, only to make it unnecessarily worse. The sudden pressure to the front of his nose was like a trigger. "Ht'kshht!" Ilya's head jolted forward into Shane's neck crook, which only triggered more. "Hnn'gtt! Nn'gshâ Huh-tschh! Ah.."
Shane couldn't help the way his hips involuntarily bucked down against Ilya, both of their bodies rocking with each one of Ilya's sneezes.
"Are you okay? Bless you.." Shane mumbled, voice shaking as he pulled away to look at Ilya. Shane could feel the sprayâ the wetness on his neck. Shane also knew that Ilya could feel his dick gluttonously filling with aroused blood as their crotches sat together, confined by layers of clothing.
"Sndff.. I'm okay. Strong cologne," Ilya mumbled, a sly smirk easing its way onto the Russian's lips. "Vanilla makes me quite tickly," Ilya said, vaguely gesturing to his nose and neck.
"Right," Shane breathed out, shifting his hips a little. No amount of pretending could hide how much Shane wanted Ilya right now.
Ilya pressed back into Shane's neck crook, holding Shane by his biceps. "We could take advantage of it," The Russian had said quietly.
"Fuck," Shane whispered, hips looking for a hint of friction as they seemed to take a mind of their own at Ilya's words. "You're sure?"
Ilya took a deep inhale of Shane's oesophageal skin, the same skin that got doused with cologne an hour before because Shane hated the idea of smelling bad in the company of Ilya. "So sure, Hollander."
A broken whine from Shane slipped through the cracks as he got to work on unbuttoning his jeans, tugging at the waistband of Ilya's sweatpants.
"It's crazy how worked up you get.." Ilya mumbled, watching with fascination as Shane got his and Ilya's dicks out by himself. Ilya hissed through his teeth with a spike of unexpected pleasure as Shane shuffled forward in Ilya's lap, stroking their dicks together with one hand.
* * *
Shane and Ilya somehow made their way into Ilya's bed throughout their scrambling of hands and kisses, now left catching their breath together with an occasional sniffle from Ilya.
Ilya eyed the ceiling, hand on his chest as he breathed out. "I can't believe you waited this long to tell me."
Shane scoffed to himself, casting his eyes to the Russian. "There have been multiple times that I've tried, but."
"Like when?" Ilya moved to his side so he could see Shane, basking in post orgasm bliss.
Shane shrugged, judgment clouded as he examined Ilya's features. "I remember.. you had a cold back in 2010 or something. I was watching that game andâ fuck. I couldn't keep my hands off myself."
Ilya's jaw dropped comically as his eyes lit up. "What?"
"Yeah, it was crazy. I was worried too, obviously. But it was the first time I'd seen you in a state of anything less than perfect health," Shane mumbled, his shyness creeping out.
"You should have called or something! What the fuck," Ilya sighed, fingers scrunching his curls. "We could have had so much fun."
Shane squinted, "As if Ilya back then would have taken it seriously. You were so mean and scary.." Shane trailed off, tone teasing as he took one of Ilya's hands.
Ilya gave Shane's hand a little squeeze, thinking about too much at once.
* * *
As the next week of hockey games commenced, Ilya found that his mind was.. distracted. To put it bluntly.
The thought of Shane unable to stop getting turned on while watching one of Ilya's hockey games on television while he was sickâ it was messing with his head.
Why did Ilya find the thought so hot? How many times did Shane cum while Ilya wasâ fuck. Not here.
Ilya glanced around the locker room in hopes that there was no mind reader among them, his cheeks must be beet red. Whatever.
He got into his uniform as clockwork, tying his laces with precision. That's when he heardâ
"SnnNNDDFFFDDXX ugh! This fucking cold, man," Marleau huffed as he trudged into the locker room, getting his uniform out right next to Ilya.
"You are ill?" Ilya mumbled, stomping his skates onto the ground to lock the blade in tighter.
Marleau coughed a little, undressing out of his civilian clothes. "Yeah. Fuckin' shuuuucks."
Ilya hummed, pulling on his gloves. "Don't let it ruin your performance, da? We win tonight."
* * *
Ilya let his eyes wander around the arena after Boston had won. It was a Wednesday night and the crowd was happy with a home win. Many were drinking and celebrating already.
Ilya could see Marleau off to the side drinking from one of the blue Gatorades provided by the league, and a sick idea flooded his head.
Maybe if Ilya managed to catch a cold, Shane would like it again? Ilya could actually experience it with his own eyes instead of hearing about Shane's fantasies.. Ilya wanted to be good for something. He wanted to please Shane. He wanted the attention.
"What the fuck am I doing?" He had mumbled to himself, skating to the side after Marleau went into the locker room with some of their other Boston teammates.
Ilya's eyes found the unattended Gatorade bottle that Marleau had just put down, grimacing slightly before taking a swig from it. And then another swig just to be sure. "Fucking freak. Blyat. New low. Okay," He said to himself, skating offside to undress in the locker room.
What Ilya woke up to on that following Friday morning was absolutely gnarly.
His throat was on fire and there was a little wet spot on his pillow from where his nose had run while he slept.
He subconsciously reached out to the other side of his bed where Shane normally slept while he had the Canadian over, but was met with an empty bed. Ilya heard himself involuntarily whine. Ilya got himself up, throwing on a Boston Raiders sweatshirt from the floor.
His body felt heavy already, the cold had come on hard and fast. His brain wasn't too upset about it, though.
Thank the hockey gods that Ilya had no games for the rest of his weekend.
Ilya picked up his phone with squinted eyes, sending Shane a text.
Boston Lily :
9:47 Call? I am lonely đ
Nice and simple. Nothing that gave away Shane's special surprise. Ilya put his phone down to give Shane some time to respond as he flopped back down into bed. His body didn't agree to being vertical today.
Ilya jumped as his phone dinged, coughing a little into a fist before reaching out again for his phone.
Montreal Jane :
9:49 Can't, sorry. About to play an early morning game against Ottawa, and then I'm having lunch with my parents after. Dad's birthday.
Ilya sighed out a whine, tossing his phone to the side. Of course Shane was super busy with some random events on the first day of Ilya's cold. The one he had specifically caught for Shane.
"Stupid.. fucking.. Ottawa. Stupid David Hollander. Why is your birthday today? Fuck," Ilya babbled to himself, patting a rhythm on his chest as he stared up at the ceiling. "Stupid,"
Ilya felt himself slipping into a state of unconsciousness from how tired he was, but suddenly jolted awake with an idea. Another sick idea.
Ilya remembered back to when Shane recorded a little video of himself on a run when Ilya wasn't able to answer the phone, just simply talking him through his morning. What if he did something like that for Shane? Shane only did that because Ilya had told him he liked the way Shane pants while running.
Shane did all that for Ilya in mind.
Fuck, he must be feverish. He isn't thinking clearly.
But he didn't particularly care. Nobody was around to tell him no.
Ilya got up, swooping his phone into his hand as he looked around in his attached bathroom for some tissues.
Once he had a box of tissues to clean himself up with, he situated himself back in bed. The curtains were still drawn, but he could see himself fine on the little rectangular screen of his phone.
Ilya sniffled, admiring his muscles for a moment as he flexed before pressing record. Oh my god, what the fuck was he doing?
"Okay.. it is currentlyâ " Ilya leaned over to the side off camera to get a look at his bedside clock. "10:06 in the morning. Jesus," Ilya grimaced at the sound of his own voice. His accent sounded heavier as his vowels sounded congested with sickness. "And I've woken up sick."
"I wanted to record for you.. because.. you won't call me right now," Ilya pulled his blanket aside, looking at himself on the screen. "If this is weird, just click off now. And we can forget about it."
Ilya sniffled, rubbing at his nose. "I feel so crazy for talking to myself, but.. snddff. I don't know. I thought that maybe you would like this.." Ilya mumbled, feeling slightly self-conscious as his English was a little more sloppy with his cold.
"I'm going to put your hockey game on and laugh when you trip," Ilya sent a little smile to the camera, switching on the TV in his room with a remote. He changed to his main hockey channel, finding that the Montreal vs Ottawa game was 6 minutes into the first period.
"Okay, I see you," Ilya sniffled, eyes on the tv as he left his phone recording. Ilya shook his head, trying to keep his focus on the game and the recording at the same time. "Someone just blocked your hit.. too bad. Hhih.."
Ilya's breath hitched before he could bully Shane anymore, hand coming up to cover. "Hih-tschh! Hihh.. hih-tschhhuhâ Huh-tshh! Fuck," Ilya swore, hands now covered in spray as his nose ran down his lips. He felt a weird pang of arousal in his abdomen, too strong to ignore.
Ilya hurried to clean the mess off his hands with his tissues, his boner now in plain sight to see through his sports shorts. "Ah, sorry. I look like a pervert now," Ilya mumbled, blowing his nose into the tissue. "I'm just imagining your reaction if you made it this far.."
Ilya blinked, eyeing the television once he could see again. "Ooh shit, I missed a Montreal goal. Fuckfuck- stupid cold. You'll have to tell me about it.. over the phone later," Ilya sniffled, looking at his camera. All for Shane.
"Fuck, I need to jerk off. Okay," Ilya breathed out as he palmed himself through his shorts, coughing into his shoulder.
"Mmh.. snndf. I wish you were here," Ilya said to himself, getting his dick out of the waistband of his shorts as he kneeled on his sheets for the camera.
"I feel like a whore," He mumbled quietly, a hand coming to wrap around his hardening dick as the other fumbled for more tissues. He started to stroke himself as his other hand wiped his nose, abs clenching for the camera.
Ilya groaned softly, spreading his thighs a little more for the camera to see. For Shane to see. "Aah.. snddxff sndff," Ilya sniffled, glancing up at the television.
He saw Shane on the livestream, watching as he dodged an Ottawa guy trying to elbow him into the boards. Ilya rested on his ankles as he began to feel lightheaded from being vertical for so long.
"I feel like shit," Ilya groaned to the camera, spurting a little over his stomach. "You better win this game. Will make meâ ah! feel better."
Ilya doubled over as he came, painting his stomach as he moaned weakly. His throat was really starting to hurt from how vocal and sneezy he had been.
Ilya sighed, mopping the mess up with a tissue as he looked at the camera. He sniffled obnoxiously, sounding like a complete mess.
"I hope you like.." Ilya breathed out, nose burning as he shuffled up his shorts. "And I hope you have.. nice time. With parents. Hh! Hih-tschh! Oh, fuck."
Ilya coughed, elbow coming up to cover after sneezing down at his lap, his spray glowing with the hint of sun in his room. "Okay.. I end this here. I go to sleep now.. blegh. Hope you like," Ilya waved a hand to the camera, ending the recording.
11 minutes of material for Shane.

Shane didn't check his phone after his game, nor at any time throughout lunch with his parents. He liked to be respectful like that, he didn't have time to check his phone between the taxi and keeping his attention on his dad.
Once Shane got home to his Montreal apartment after a long afternoon of conversations and calorific dinner, he had to cool down.
Shane got into comfortable clothes and got himself an ice-cold ginger ale from the fridge. Once he had situated himself on his bed with a good hockey book, he decided to pick up his phone for the first time since before his game.
He was met with his usual notifications, Hayden, Mom, a vitamin supplement reminder andâ a video notification from Ilya? Huh.
He ignored his other notifications and clicked on the one that led to his text thread with Ilya. He was met with an 11-minute-long video, which had an option to press play.
Shane furrowed his brow. What was this? He couldn't exactly tell from the blurry little thumbnail.
Shane's thumb pressed on the play button, putting his book aside and sliding his glasses on his nose to help him see the video better.
It looked like a recording with the front camera, Ilya was setting his phone up so he was in view of the whole screen.
Shane turned up his volume, taking in the sight of Ilya. That's when Ilya started to talk. "Okay, it is currently.. 10:06 in the morning, Jesus," Shane sat up a little, holding the phone in both hands. Ilya sounded.. off. "â and I've woken up sick."
Shane could feel his blood run cold. What the fuck was this?
Ilya continued, "I wanted to record for you.. because.. you won't call me right now, If this is weird, just click off now. And we can forget about it."
"Oh my fucking god," Shane said to himself in the quietness of his home, his body starting to get his nervous tremors, pausing the video as he took in the words.
Ilya had recorded a whole ass video. For Shane. Because he knew Shane would like it. Oh my god. Oh fuck.
Shane had to squeeze his legs together as he continued through the video, his head getting dizzy. Ilya looked so sick, but was performing a whole show for the camera. All for Shane? This was unreal.
Shane came three times to the video before he had to tap out, his lower abdomen burning as he was left flushed and panting. All from a fucking video.
Shane took a quick shower, drying himself off so he could text Ilya. Call himâ anything.
Montreal Jane :
17:28 Oh my god.
17:29 What the fuck.
17:32 You look so good.
17:33 Are you okay tho? đ
17:33 Fuck, Ilya. I can't believe you recorded all that for me.
17:47 Please call when you can.
* * *
Ilya woke up with a stuffy nose, glancing up to catch a look at his little clock. 19:02 blinked back to him.
Fuck, he slept for a while. Ilya stretched out his aching limbs like a little house cat, resting himself up on an elbow to check his phone.
Shane had finally seen the video.
Ilya's heart sank ever so slightly as he saw six notifications from Shane. Shane rarely double texts, even now. He either loved it or was spreading it all over Twitter. No, Shane wouldn't do that. Shut up brain.
Ilya swiped his passcode in, clicking on their text thread. He had to squint to see whatever Shane had said, eyes still sore from his long afternoon nap.
Ilya felt his lips curl up with a smile, a genuine one. His plan had been successful. Shane obviously enjoyed the video.
Ilya sat himself up in bed, clicking on the FaceTime option as he flicked on his bedside lamp.
Shane answered on the second ring, his face filling Ilya's screen. Shane immediately scrambled for his glasses, standing up to focus better. "Fuck- hey. How are you feeling?"
"Fine. Sndff," Ilya sniffled, appreciating the view of Shane in his glasses.
"Are we gonna mention how fucking insane that video is? Oh my god," Shane breathed out, pacing his room.
Ilya chuckled stuffily, blinking away sleep. "I'm glad you like.. was nervous. That you wouldn't like."
"Fuck. It was so hot, I can't. While watching my game, too? It's burnt into my memory forever."
Ilya's stomach felt warm, the words sending soft waves of dopamine to his brain. "I caught it just for you."
"What?" Shane's brow furrowed on Ilya's screen, his lips looking pink and puffy from what Ilya could only assume to be from Shane biting them. Shane had a habit of doing that while jerking off.
"Da.. I did. I won't go into details.. I know you said you hate germs," Ilya mumbled, eyes glistening from the light of his little lamp.
Shane rubbed his temples. "I can't pretend like that's not hot. Fuck. You're such an idiot."
Ilya scoffed, a rare teeth smile slipping from his lips. "Worth it.. look at you. You look fucked out. And I sent it hours ago."
Shane swallowed, eyes flickering somewhere off-screen. "Well, yeah. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the video. Fuck you."
Ilya cooed as an act of false sympathy, sniffling. "You think about it.. and then get hard.. and then need relief. And the cycle continues? Poor little Shane. How will you ever get through your game tomorrow?"
Shane groaned softly, sitting down on his bed as he eyed Ilya through the screen. "You're sick. Physically and mentally."
Ilya just shook his head, propping himself up. "You'll step foot on the ice and think about the video. About how sneezy I was watching your game. Da?"
Shane palmed himself as Ilya spoke with his stuffy voice, listening to how thick his Russian sounded. Thinking about how sneezy Ilya was in his recording. "Fuck.. fuck. Stop."
"Stop what?" Ilya asked innocently. "You know I'm right. I bet you're hard again, aren't you? Sndff. You're so easy, it's sad."
Shane audibly groaned, bucking into his own palm as he leaned back in bed, holding his phone with his free hand to see Ilya. "You don't know what you're talking about."
"I know enough. I see it right now," Ilya purred, wiping his nose on the back of his hand as he could see the familiar expressions of Shane receiving some much-needed pleasure.
"Good luck for tomorrow's game.. sndff hhih.. maybe you'll get another video? Only if you win."
Shane's lips fell parted, eyes closing as he was pathetically close to coming and he hadn't even gotten naked yet. "You promise?"
Ilya nodded, watching Shane. "Mm. Make sure to win. Fuckâ I need to.. hih! K'hihtsHH!" Ilya winced at how chesty it felt.
"Bless you.." Shane groaned, swivelling a hand underneath his boxers desperately. Shane gave himself approximately 10 tugs before he was dirtying his clean chest with more come. "Oh god, Ilya. Oh shit.. ah."
"How many times have you come today?" Ilya asked, his own shorts uncomfortably tight as he stayed watching Shane.
Shane shook his head, taking off his glasses with quivering hands. "Seven.. times. I think. Maybe."
Ilya raised his brows, wiping his nose on his hand. "I'm impressed, Hollander."
Shane just sighed, head back on his pillows. "You really caught a cold.. on purpose.. to please me? Seriously though?"
"Yup," Ilya popped the P, sniffling to no avail. "I don't regret it. You look amazing right now. Sndff. You play better when you come, too." Ilya rasped, resting his head down.
"You sound so sick," Shane ignored what Ilya said, a frown now on his bitten lips. "You should sleep, alright? I don't want you hurting yourself."
"Oh, how nice. You'd like it if I got worse, Hollander," Ilya snickered to himself, getting all excited again at the idea.
Shane scoffed weakly. "Fuck off. Get well soon and keep the videos coming."
There was a moment of stillness before they both laughed together, Ilya's ending in a fit of chesty coughing.
prequel to greedy. ilya discovers shanes sneeze kink. lots of edging. some spellings. as usual please read bio if u stumbled here.
_
âOh, bless you,â Ilya hums vaguely, eyes fixed on something in their fridge.Â
âThank you,â Shane canât help if he blushes as he replies. Ilya doesnât know what this is doing to him. And thank god he doesnât. He hides a sniffle behind his hand.
Lucky for Shane, one of his best talents is masking everything thatâs happening inside his head and setting on a polite face.
Unlucky for Shane, he has no ability to control the way his other head twitches when Ilya turns around, shuts the door like an afterthought, and says, âYou have allergies?âÂ
âNo, I donât ââÂ
âYou are sneezing so much.â He eyes Shane suspiciously.Â
âAre you getting sick? Is this sabotage, Hollander? I am leaving for pre-season and you have this evil plan to infect me?âÂ
Holy shit. Ilya wants to fucking kill him.Â
âNo. Shut up.â Shane tries his hardest to remain casual. He sits at one of the stools at their kitchen island to hide the evidence from Ilya, who is still studying ingredients.
âSomethingâs bothering me, I guess.â Truer words have never been spoken.Â
Itâs not even the sneezing that is making him so hard. Itâs the fact that heâs sneezing and Ilya is watching â even though heâs not really paying attention â and hearing everything. Itâs that heâs present for every bit of Shaneâs unraveling.Â
Itâs that Shane canât control this unraveling as it happens. Heâs trying, really fucking hard, to control it. He doesnât want to sneeze. And thatâs even worse because all the blood is rushing from his brain straight to his cock the longer he tries to tamper down the itchy feeling in his sinuses.Â
He watches as Ilya fixes himself dinner. Shane had offered to make him something, when heâd arrived, but he had insisted on fending for himself. Itâs off-season. I will find my own combination of foods I want to eat from Shane Hollanderâs rabbit kitchen.
He scrubs at his nose. Itâs still testing him.Â
Ilya had arrived at their cottage and immediately swept Shane up in his arms. These arms included a bone-breaking hug and a forceful, hungry kiss.Â
Shane had been all in, until he registered that Ilya was wearing something new on his skin. Whatever scent he had on had, unsuspectingly, made its way from his boyfriendâs pulse points and up into the recesses of his nasal cavity. And it had fucking burned. And itched. AndâŚÂ
All this to explain why heâs been struggling ever since. A stifled fit into his boyfriendâs shoulder as they embraced had been the start. And now, three more itchy sneezes pinched between his forefinger and thumb â he understands why Ilya took notice.Â
âShane.âÂ
âIlya.âÂ
Ilya sets down the spoon and leans against the counter, arms crossed. The evil-scented fabric of his shirt pulls across his muscular shoulders. Shaneâs nose twitches traitorously as he tries to hold the gazeÂ
âIs it me?â Ilya asks. He doesnât sound offended. He sounds more curious. A little careful, in the particular way he gets when heâs working something out.
Shaneâs brain runs a very quick cost-benefit analysis. Cost: I have a weird kink. Youâre going to chirp me about it forever. No, I canât explain it. Benefits: My dick is so hard it hurts and I need you to touch me right now. Please. And maybe youâll sneeze for me sometime.Â
âIt â hh â whatever youâre wearing,â he says. âI think Iâm sensitive to it.â
Something shifts in Ilyaâs face. He reaches his wrist to his nose and takes a deep, thoughtful sniff.Â
âMy cologne?â
âI think so.â Snf.Â
âHm. It is new. Test?âÂ
And Ilya is shoving his wrist under Shaneâs nose before he can react.Â
Shaneâs mouth falls open with an involuntary moan because this just pushed a hidden button inside him. He claps a hand over it and shifts back in horror, but not before he gets a huge noseful of itchy musk.Â
âEhhâIkKhâSHhUu!!â He follows this up with three more desperate attempts at stifles. Itâs so tickly, the scent, forcing its way into the back of his sinuses and activating some deep trigger. Heâs been fighting it off, but to have it presented like that, so strongly. Like a hit of smelling salts.
Wetness leaks from his eyes and bursts between his tightly-clenched fingers at the tip of his nose.Â
He needs to get out of here now. He will as soon as he can catch a breath. Ilyaâs staring, he knows this for certain even with his own eyes screwed shut and free hand steepled over the lower half of his face.Â
He gasps, head flicking up in an imitation of rage and giving his best glare to his boyfriend between irritated, watery eyes. Heâs not where Shane had last seen him â heâs standing beside Shane with a damp paper towel in his hand.Â
âSorry кОŃик, I just rinsed my arms, okay?â He sounds genuinely regretful as he goes to wipe under Shaneâs eyes, then all of a sudden stops with a jolt. His hand is half-raised to Shaneâs face, but his gaze is down at âÂ
âHuh,â is all Ilya says, so quiet Shane almost misses it. He resumes wiping at Shaneâs face. As if that isnât ominous.
As the damp paper towel swipes under Shaneâs nose, it triggers another sneeze. His immune system has been thrown into overdrive and is reacting on a hair trigger.Â
âHâhâEâshzâieWWw, hh!, hh, sorâ ehâzSâCHEIWw!â And itâs right against Ilyaâs large palm.
An itchy, desperate outburst of relief, freeing him from the violent building in his nose. Itâs possibly the hottest thing heâs ever experienced. And also the most mortifying. He gasps out an apology between desperate, liquid sniffles, but heâs becoming even more distant and floaty.Â
Heâs so fucking needy. Ilya saw his visible arousal and ignored it. This never happens. So itâs a game for him, then. A game that Shane really wants to lose.Â
He thinks Ilya is onto him and heâs being gentle about it. He wants him to call him out, to pin him up against the countertop and embrace his every filthy desire.Â
âIâŚâ his eyes are streaming, burning irritated red at the sides, and he wipes a wrist over the moisture, sniffling, âIâŚâ
Suddenly, Ilya forces in. He flicks his tongue at his cupid's bow, collecting up wetness Shane hadnât known was there. He moans involuntarily at the contact, words falling away. Ilya licks around his nostrils and sucks a wet kiss at his philtrum. He should, really, force him off. But heâs beyond high off the feeling, and Ilya is always his drug of choice.Â
âYou are sneezy from my cologne?â Ilya asks, as if his tongue hasnât been making Shane crazy.
His whole body is on fire as he groans; and, finally, allows himself to palm at his own dick. Sparks tingle across his whole body with the contact. He might need aftercare just from this.Â
âF-fuck. Yes. Itâs â uh, shit. Touch me, please. I like it. When ââ He canât articulate it, but Ilya stops him with a primal, biting kiss to his lower lip.Â
âYou like to sneeze?â Ilya asks, voice lilting, yet sincere as he pulls away and runs a hand down Shaneâs waist. His other hand thumbs at his cheek and moves towards the edge of his nostril.Â
âNo. I donât think itâs ââ heâs panting, floating in ecstasy; his eyes are still closed as he pulses with pure, unadulterated want.Â
âI think maybe you do, no?â His boyfriend squeezes a hand over his dick and he moans with want. Moans. He feels the need for him rise up behind his eyes, splitting into bursts in his aching sinuses.
âItâs weird,â Shane complains with a careful sniffle, finding himself. He forces Ilyaâs hand away from his leaking cock. âFuck off.âÂ
âIs hot, too. If you like it? I will want to make youâŚâ Ilya, the dirty bastard that he is, lets his voice trail off and licks his lips as he pauses for emphasis, âsneeze?â
âFuck off.â He tingles, whole-bodied. Ilya is completely right, of course. Because thereâs no way Shane would have ended up with anyone except someone who can read him completely. His brain is going static-y, like an unreachable channel. Â
Ilya darts his tongue out to the tip of Shaneâs nose and he gasps, shoving him off.Â
He squeezes his nose between two tightly-held, flat palms as he stifles, once, twice, expression pinching as he shudders with the feeling.Â
âI think you like that,â Ilya teases. He palms at Shaneâs dick again and he shudders, moans, âbut I will shower, okay?âÂ
If he insists, then Shane will wait. Even as he's so hard that he's seeing spots.
the parts keep getting longer, things keep getting whumpier, and I keep feeling more and more uncertain of what I'm doing. if you can believe it, I'm actually taking OUT some of the hurt I had planned because this part turned out a little more angsty than I had planned... it's still nothing that serious, just some sad introspective ish, but I'll put some warnings!
warnings: just a sick dude going through some (temporary) sinus pain and accidentally internally talking himself into a panic. the panic is pretty short lived, but it happens!
the comfort is coming in part 5 HARD, don't worry
pt. 1, pt. 2, pt. 3
Ilya woke gradually.
The residue of sleep clung to his body, but it lacked the disorienting daze from the night before. Rather, his awareness assembled in quiet layers. The room was dim when he finally opened his eyes. It was washed in that early, deep blueâthe peace of nautical dawn, with the sun pausing in wait on its haunches before it was called to bring the light of day.Â
He indulged in the silence of the morning, staring up at the ceiling and letting his thoughts come together. The world felt different at this hour, more patient, and he decidedly needed more of that.Â
His throat felt raw but manageable, tested with a careful swallow. He couldnât breathe through his nose very well, but it wasnât presently running unchecked. Even the warm pressure sitting behind his eyes was still there but dulled down, almost pleasant in the way it softened everything with a glossy haze. His body, he realized gladly, wasnât actively fighting against him this morning.Â
He felt one with the fluâa master of dealing with the devil.Â
He reached for his phone and saw 5:32AM staring back at him in large, glowing numbers. He noted a couple text notifications under it, and memories of last night followedâShaneâs face, too close to the phone, and the tension carefully held in his voice.Â
Shane either woke up earlier than usual or had never slept. Ilya knew either were possible, and he would be the reason regardless. He considered this, toyed with the idea of guilt, but couldnât stop himself from smirking faintly. His bossy, highly strung lover. Sometimes, in moments like these, love could ease the burden of guilt.Â
He dropped his phone onto the mattress and pushed himself upright, shifting his legs over the side of the bed and bracing his forearms against his thighs as he adjusted to the shift. His body barely resisted. In fact, he felt strangely unattached.Â
âHhghâHhâhehhâDZSHOOoh!â Well, there was that. âHaaHDâZHSHUHh-hâihHâZDSHHUueh!âÂ
He gave his head a gentle shake and worked through a few languid blinks. The sneezes had caught him by surprise. He stood and wisely grabbed the box of tissues from the nightstand, pulling a few out to blow his nose, then tucked the box under his arm as he moved toward the bathroom.Â
The mirror greeted him without mercy. His curls were limp, a little damp with sweat. He was pale, comparable to the tissues he still had wadded under his nose, and his eyes were a little too bright, rheumy in that sickly way. Thruthfully, he had expected worse. He leaned in closer with a cough-broken sigh, used the mirror to properly wipe his nose clean, then dropped the used tissues and the half-empty box on the bathroom counter.Â
He turned on the shower and left it to warm while he went in search of water. He cracked open a bottle from the hotel dresser, opting for room temperature water rather than bothering with the minibar. He took a long drink, gulping three large and stinging swigs, knowing he probably needed it after the night heâd had.Â
The blister pack of fever reducers Terry had given him still sat somewhere in his duffel. He pursed his lips in thought out of habit, leading to a stuffy sniffle, then fished the packet out of his bag with one clumsy hand. He took two pills, as instructed by Terry, knowing he would need all the help he could get if he wanted to be allowed on the plane. Terry would probably be visiting him in about an hourâs time, considering their charter bus was set to leave at half past seven.Â
In the shower, the heat settled into him thoroughly. It worked its way through the tension in his shoulders first, easing something tight that he hadnât noticed until it began to release. Then it spread down his back and into his chest, loosening the congestion that had settled overnight.Â
Unfortunately, it also opened his sinuses. He would have appreciated it, if only the steam didnât seem hellbent on crawling up his nose with a featherlight touch.Â
It felt all too good, the harsh yet easy release following an immense itch. Under the warm water and privacy of the shower, he didnât have to worry about saving face or cleaning it after.Â
âHhkâhhâKSCHUueh! HHhdâtzZSCHHuuh!â
He stayed like this longer than he intended, head ducking forward and chin knocking into his chest with each sneeze, but the water running over his back and the relief of an itch being scratchedâsneezed, in this caseâfelt deservedly self-indulgent.Â
He finished quickly after a handful of sneezes more (two handfuls really, an impressive additional eight). Head buzzing, he shut off the water and dried himself off before the heat could turn from comforting into something draining. His nose was running something fierce again, and he had to keep pausing to wipe at it, but he felt much more clear headed. By the time he pulled on clean clothes, with towel-dried hair pulling back into its wild curls, his phone buzzed from where heâd left it on the bed. He coughed to clear his throat, then answered.
âGood morning, doctor,â he lilted. He went for cheeky, livelyâ
âUh huh.â Damn it. âYou up?â
âYes, obviously,â he deadpanned.Â
âGood. Iâll be up in ten.â
_________________________
Terry knocked, two firm raps against the door.
Ilya was standing awkwardly near the door, leaning against the wall, having made up in his mind that answering quickly would earn him a little more trust. He really wanted to get home.Â
Terry stepped inside, rolling medical bag pulled behind him, and looked at Ilya like he was assessing. His expression gave nothing away.
âSit.â Terry gestured toward the bed. âHowâre you feeling?â
He wanted to brag to Terry about his newfound peace with influenza, that they had come to an understanding, but he knew Terry wouldnât appreciate it the way he did. He figured Terry would make a stink about it, maybe ban him from flying by reason of insanity.Â
âGreat.â Terry gave him a fixed look. Ilya, disgruntled by Terryâs lack of humor, rethought his answer. âOr, uh⌠Better.âÂ
âYou know⌠You actually look it. You looked pretty terrible yesterday, Rozanov.â
Terryâs questions came in a steady rhythm as he poked and prodded, looking at Ilyaâs ears and nose and throat. Ilya answered with equally steady yesâs and noâs punctuated by sniffles. At some point, Terry handed him a travel pack of tissues. Ilya raised a brow, set the pack aside, and purposefully sniffled louder.
That got him a resigned sort of chuckle.Â
âYeah, youâre feeling better, alright.â Terry set the temporal thermometer against his brow and sounded pleased when he said, â38 even. Still a fever, butâŚâÂ
âButâŚ?â Ilya urged.
âYou can fly.â The relief came quickly, but Ilya didnât let it show beyond the slightest shift in his shoulders. Terry gave him a stern look. âConditionally.âÂ
âOh?â
âYouâre going to hydrate. Properly. With electrolytes.â Terry handed him a gatorade, procured so simply from his bag Ilya wondered if he always had them on hand. He wouldnât put it past someone in sports medicine, but the bottle was cold. âAnd I want you to eat something light. Toast, yogurt, I donât care. You need some easy calories. Did you take anything this morning?â
âYes. Pills you gave to me.â
Terry looked at him, held his gaze, then nodded. âAlright. Bus leaves in an hour. Load up a little early, Iâll have a decongestant for you.âÂ
âDecon... What? What is it?â
âTrust me, youâll want to take it. Flying with sinus pressure is no joke.â
Terry left soon after, and Ilya reached for his phone. He sent Shane a few texts, assuring him that heâd been cleared to fly and apologizing for needing to postpone their call. To placate him, knowing Shaneâs mind would be running with endless what-ifâs, Ilya said he just needed to pack and eatâand that his fever was down an entire degree. He promised to call as soon as he got home.Â
Not a half hour later, he braved the gift shop downstairs. Hayes had passed him in the hallway and taken his duffel to haul it for him, casually mentioning something about being the pack donkey for a couple others, whatever that meant. Ilya hadnât wanted to argue, and he was glad to only have to carry the weight of his small backpack.
The travel pack of tissues Terry had given him now kept residence in his jacket pocket, and he pulled a couple out to blow his nose as he scanned the shelves of trinkets and snacks. He settled on a pack of crackers, some whole grain shit Shane would approve of, and a drinkable yogurt from the open air fridge. He chose both for convenience, easy to carry and able to be consumed in small increments.Â
He sneezed on his way to the counter, halfheartedly turning his face towards his shoulder because his hands were busy, sneezed again when he set the items on the cashierâs counter, and a third and fourth time when he pulled out his wallet to pay. He made the snap decision to pile on a couple travel packs of tissues that just so happened to be available on the checkout shelving. The cashier barely looked at him, and Ilya took it as a small kindness. He left after shoving the items into his backpack, in turn freeing up his hands for more desperately needed tissues.
He stepped out of the hotel, spying the bus, and shivered. The morning felt cooler than he expected, chilly air breezing through his hair and reaching his nearly but not quite dry roots. Ottawa was noticeably colder in late October compared to Detroit, but he was glad he made the decision to stash a toque in his backpack just in case.Â
Only a few staff members were hovering around the cargo hold, their voices low and footsteps softened by the hour. He was early, but no one asked questions. He climbed aboard without comment and made his way toward the back, dropping into a seat with a sigh followed by a rumbling cough.Â
He ate a cracker, found it tasteless, tried the yogurt and glared at the bottle in offense. He managed half of both before he leaned his head back and closed his eyes, pulling his backpack onto his lap just for the comfort of having something to hold.Â
_______________________
âHey.â
Ilya surfaced with a couple surprised coughs, blinking his eyes open. He hadnât meant to fall asleep. It took a moment to orient himself, trying to piece together where he was and how much time had passed.Â
The bus was full now. And⌠moving at a slow crawl. He looked out the window to see they were pulling away from the hotel.Â
The sounds around him were hushedâbags zipping, the low murmur of conversation, the rustle of someone swapping seats a few rows up. It was the mundane kind of noise that came with the morning after a road game, the sound of sleepy recovery.Â
Terry stood in the aisle beside him, holding a cap with two pills and a nasal spray bottle. Ilya looked at them, then up at Terry.Â
âTake these, then use the spray. Twice in each nostril.â Ilya must have looked incredulous, because Terry continued, âUnless you want your head to feel like itâs splitting open during takeoff.âÂ
Terry could be infuriatingly convincing.Â
Ilya took the pills with what was left of the yogurt drink, then tilted his head back slightly as he used the spray. The first round was sharp, unpleasant in a way that made his eyes water, but he followed through with the other side.
Something started shifting. The tight, packed feeling in his sinuses loosened just enough that when he tried a tentative sniff, enough air moved through his nose for a solid breath.Â
Ilya blinked, surprised. âOh.â
âYeah.â Terry huffed a soft laugh. âOld trick. Go ahead and do a second spray, but you can wait until right before the flight if you want. Do me a favor, though. Toss it after the flight. This stuffâs no joke. Itâs really useful when you have to fly, but you shouldnât use it for longer than you have to.âÂ
Ilya nodded and waved him off with a quick albeit genuine thanks.
The rest of the morning slid by easily. He followed the passing of it, grateful for the kindness of being left alone by his teammates. They graciously ignored him, save for some brief, checking glances. Ilya, just happy to not be left behind, answered each look with a gentle, reassuring nod.Â
It wasnât until they were on the plane that things started to take a sharp turn.
The first sign that things were going to go poorly came from his phone, buzzing in his hand just as they were asked to put their phones on airplane mode. Ilya squinted down at the screen and saw messages from Shane, stacking one on top of the other, coming in quick succession.Â
Ilya stared at the screen for a beat too long, brain lagging just enough that the words didnât settle right away. He was in the middle of typing thatâs not necessary when a flight attendant walked by and reminded him to put his phone away for takeoff.Â
Caught off guard, he sent the unfinished text and turned his phone to airplane mode, then turned off the screen like heâd just been chastised. The attendant smiled gently, as if sensing he needed it.
It was fine, he told himself. Everything was, and would be, fine.Â
_______________________
It wasnât fine.
The cabin felt wrong almost as soon as they started taxiing. It was too warm. The air had that dry, pressurized quality to it that came with flights. Normally it didnât bother him, but today it made him sweat. It felt reminiscent of flying with a hangover, with the way that distinct post-drinking dehydration made a flight nearly unbearable.Â
Being on a professional hockey team came with the benefit of private charter flights, which meant this particular flight would be more or less an hourâs time, and he would probably be in the comfort of his own home within two. It helped, marginally, to hold onto that thought.Â
He shifted in his seat as the engine roared louder, low rumble beneath his feet reaching a crescendo as they picked up speed.Â
At first, the ascent was manageable. Pressure started to bloom across his face, dull and heavy, but it was hardly worse than when he had first woken up. The medication Terry gave him had worked its magic and given him some temporary relief, at the least.Â
A few more minutes passed, and the pain hit him all at once. It was violent, immediate, like something had driven straight through his third eye and lodged itself there.Â
âHhgh!âÂ
The sound tore out of him without permission, strangled as his entire body locked with the unique experience of all-consuming, overwhelming pain. His hand flew up to his face, palm pressing hard against the bridge of his nose like he might be able to physically hold himself together.Â
The pressure shifted, abruptly and horribly, expanding into spaces that felt much too small to contain it. His vision flashed white. It was ridiculous, given that heâd experienced injuries on the regular that the average person would cry over, but this was its own kind of torture.Â
âFuuuck.â
He bent forward in his seat, shoulders hunching as he tried to steady his breath through his mouth, and he subconsciously started to count.Â
One, two, threeâ
The counting was an exercise Shane had mentioned before. Ilya, half-listening and fully annoyed, hadnât believed him then. They had been working through some routine Shane insisted would stabilize [some] muscle Ilya was already sure didnât even need stabilizing. Shane had been on the floor beside him, counting under his breath, disciplined in that infuriating but admirable way.Â
Ten seconds, Shane had said. Donât think about anything else. If you can make it through ten seconds, you can make it through another ten.
Ilya had complained, said it sounded like Shane stole it from one of his beloved self-help books, but had weathered through the rest of the routine out of love (and with plenty of griping, which Shane had kissed him about later).Â
Now he marked the passing of time in intervals, just as Shane had taught him, an internal cadence that moved alongside his breathing. It was working. He would probably never admit it to Shane. Not anytime soon at least, but maybe when they were old and gray. He briefly considered that could be the point of the counting, to ease the slow pace of the harsh present and bring you into a better, measurable future.Â
He let himself drift with it as the plane evened out, easing the pressure and leaving him suspended in a strange and weightless limbo. He made it to another ten and, only half-aware, continued on up. He made it to twenty-four when the cabin rushed back into focus.Â
The number hit him like a sharp slap, like a hypnic jerk interrupting the peace of falling asleep.Â
Air caught in his throat, a gasp gone wrong. He coughed instinctively. This was, he thought hysterically, what a panic attack must feel likeâwhat Shane felt sometimes.
And that was what a frenetic mind did at its worst; it took the most electrifying thoughts and flung them forward, a doomsday warning in hopes you might prepare and survive. Ilyaâin pain, in panic, in love, and under the pull of a steadily climbing feverâthought of Shane. That stupid fucking number, that blue jersey, the way his hair stuck slick to his temples during a game. The easy, elated grin he got when he knew heâd done something rightâand done it exceptionally well. And the way Shane said his name in privateâIlya, Ilya, Ilyaâlike a prayer of want, or a belated commencement of victory, as if Ilya were the prize.Â
ââDZSCHOO!â Fuck, that hurt. âGhâNGDJshHuhâTâSCHUuh! Augh, shit!âÂ
He belatedly fumbled for a tissue, more concerned with the stabbing pressure behind his eyes, but at least it had shocked his nervous system enough to pull him out of unwarranted panic.Â
He wiped his dripping nose, then came to realize Terry was crouching in the aisle next to him. Terry gave him a tight-lipped smile. âYou going to pass out on me, Rozanov?âÂ
âIândoh.â He kept the tissue held to his nose, not wanting to chance the pain of blowing now that his sinuses weren't screaming anymore. âNdoh, Iâmb good. Khhâghm. Dondât thigk the mbedicind works still.âÂ
Terry looked relieved, then turned to grab something from his bag sitting in the opposite aisle seat. âHere,â Terry said. He held out an instant cold pack, already activated, and pressed it into Ilyaâs hand when he hesitated to take it. âThisâll help.â
Ilya pressed it gently between his eyes, all the fight in him long drained. âThagk you,â he breathed earnestly. âFeels ndice.âÂ
Terry stared at him, contemplating. âWelcome,â he said finally. âDonât die before we land. The paperwork would be a nightmare.âÂ
It was stupid, and it shouldnât have helped, but a weak snort slipped out of Ilya before he could stop it. It was immediately chased by another spike of pain, but he relaxed into his seat quicker this time. It was comforting, the familiarity of someone understanding how to help in times when you werenât actually dying but felt like you might anyway. Shane, surprisingly, usually got that part right. It was nice that he could find pockets of it elsewhere in his life.Â
Terry squeezed his shoulder gently before retreating to his seat. Haas peeked over the headrest in front of him, cautiously giving Ilya an encouraging thumbs-up. Chouinard and Dykstra laughed about something in the row catty-corner to him, and Ilya swore he could even hear Harrisâ muffled voice, somewhere rows back, cut through the hum of the plane.Â
He checked the time on his phone. The flight was halfway over and he knew with certainty now, with his team near and his heart inching closer home (Shane, Shane, Shane), that he would be okay.Â
a/n: I'm sorry for being so dramatic but also not sorry...
you guys have been SO FUCKING KIND with your comments, tags, etc. and those of you who have privately reached out, I DEEPLY appreciate you too. I'm so flippin touched by it all.
I'm also plotting out a filthy, sneezy, drama-free?!, dick-forward kind of fic because heated rivalry is doing that to me. I've never posted any explicitly sexual writing before, but I think I want to change that
and @ithadtobesneezing ?!! I almost had a heart attack when I saw your tags tonight. you've been such an inspiration to me on snzblr. lol it sounds insane (funny) laid out like that, but I MEAN IT. your gorgeous writing, your kindness, and your steady presence every time I peek back here. I was so excited to see you pop up on my stuff :') and I hope you enjoyed your vacation!
dont worry everyone im a body language expert. see when shes standing like that it means she wants someone to sneeze on her tits. and when she sits down its because she wants someone to sneeze on her tits. and do you notice how she leans slightly to the left here? that means she wants someone to sneeze on her tits.
inducing a girl who gets turned on by her own snz but not letting her touch herself.
having her keep her hands behind her back. tied, maybe, or handcuffed. or maybe telling her to be a good girl and keep them there is enough.
inducing her off and on again as many times as you want. giving her breaks to blow her nose and drink water but never letting her take care of the growing need between her thighs.
watching her hips thrust against the air as she sneezes again and again, each sneeze ending in a desperate, needy whine. teasing her about her flushed cheeks, her trembling thighs, her runny, sensitive nose.
making her whine and beg you to touch her, to let her hump your leg, anything to get some relief as she turns herself on more and more. pretending to consider it before telling her no, she hasn't earned it yet.
waiting until she's an exhausted, snotty mess before you finally lay her down and fuck her senseless.
