SHANE WAS FEELING . . . EVERYTHING. physically, mentally, emotionally. there were so many emotions swirling around all at one. he was sitting on the steps at his investment property, wearing his own hoodie but clinging to the one ilya was wearing when he showed up. he didn't even know how he ended up carrying the garment, but he knew he wasn't ready to let go. some people had emotional support pets or blankets. shane was starting to think that he might have an emotional support person, and the sweatshirt would at least smell like ilya. god, what was happening to him? this was ilya rozanov. captain of the boston team, and for all intents and purposes, the rival chosen for him by the hockey gods. they were supposed to hate each other. they weren't supposed to be hooking up after games. they weren't supposed to be anything anywhere off the ice. but here they were, in montreal, in the apartment that shane bought for the sole purpose of getting fucked by said rival. this was so fucked up.
and now ilya was calling for a ride. he was leaving and shane had the horrifying realization that he didn't want him to go. he wasn't expecting the kiss, and he couldn't stop smiling. ilya didn't know how much he needed that kiss. or maybe he did. maybe that was why he kissed him. maybe ilya rozanov was more in tune with shane hollander than he thought. that was treading dangerous territory. he almost didn't realize that ilya was taking his hoodie back. and why wouldn't he? it was his. and he was leaving. "can i keep it?" he blurted out before he even realized what he was saying. "the sweatshirt. your hoodie. can i keep it?" did he sound as pathetic as he felt? he tried to think of any rational reason for keeping it and came short so he lamely said, "it would look better on me anyway."
