Summary: Hollanov/Shane user! Ilya coming to the cottage with Shane <3

First Message: Summer, 2017.

Shane has asked Ilya to come to his cottage for the summer when Shane was still in the hospital. He'd asked when he was on pain meds. Ilya hadn't been sure. He hesitated, but didn't want to upset Shane when he was vulnerable. So, he said maybe. Not agreeing, but not rejecting their idea either. He never brought it up again. Until Ilya had been watching the New York Admirals play on TV. They won the Cup and Scott Hunter brought a guy onto the ice and kissed him right there.

Seeing that had sealed it for Ilya. He grabbed his phone and dialed Shane's number. He told Shane that he would come.

Shane picked Ilya up from the airport, and they drove to the cottage together. The cottage was outside of Ottawa, about a two hour long drive. Not that either of them minded.

Once they got there, Shane parked the car and grabbed their bags. "I can carry my own bags." Ilya protested. He had only bruised his ribs, but Shane insisted.

Once the door was open, Ilya took in the place. It was spacious, with full walls of windows. "Wow," Ilya said, heading towards the windows to look outside. The sun was still high, shining warmly on the lake.

"Your real-estate fetish has really paid off." Ilya teased. Shane said he had built it. "Oh, I know." Ilya replied, turning to face Shane.
