first post for context / see the tag 'open relationship au' for more snippets or the masterlist so kindly put together by @tafkarfanfic. mhl awards part two out of four! this is mostly a transitional scene into the next big event.
MHL Awards, 2015
The awards ceremony is a blur.
Shane wins MVP, as he and everyone else was expecting. He gets on stage, gives his prepared speech. Smiles like he should, stomach clenched tight and cold sweat prickling at his forehead. He hopes the presenter doesn't notice the tremble in his hand when he shakes it.
Brian is here. Not in this room but in this city, possibly even this hotel. Shane doesn't know. He didn't actually call him back after Rozanov hung up on him and he hasn't replied to any of his texts or calls since. He just... he needs to get this ceremony over with before the inevitable fight.
Because Brian is probably mad and Shane. Shane is furious.
It's been eight years of Brian keeping his most important secret and he picks tonight of all nights to risk it like this? What the fuck is he thinking? He can't actually think that Shane would be happy to see him here, can he? Shane can't even see him, not without risking everything.
At least his speech went off without a hitch. Shane doesn't think anyone noticed he was off and if they did, they'd probably chalk it up to nerves.
It should be nerves. Shane should be on top of the world right now, celebrating another career high. He should be looking forward to what's going to happen after the party - what was going to happen, because he doubts Rozanov is interested in a repeat performance today, considering how they ended things earlier. He didn't even get to come, because Brian's announcement that he was in Vegas effectively killed the mood.
Shane just wants this night to be over.
I feel it’s maybe time we talk about the Ibiza honeymoon? And like, the fact that Shane specifically wants to go there because he thinks Ilya would be magnificent in that kind of hedonistic party environment. I feel like Shane likely hasn’t travelled a ton outside of hockey - he’s probably been to Mexico a few times, to Europe to work and maybe once or twice on vacation? But all his parents’ money would have gone to hockey, hockey-related travel, and their cottage… and Shane is the type of guy to do all his brand management stuff in the off-season, and spend his time training instead of travelling when he doesn’t have any big hockey obligations. Plus the Foundation camps.
But he knows Ilya used to traipse around Europe in the summers, and he knows he was a club rat, so despite the fact that it makes Shane feel like he’s gonna puke, he’s incredibly excited to, like, not only see this side of Ilya but to experience it with him.
But before we talk partying we gotta talk about transport.
They get picked up from the airport with a very highly rated private service and rent an obnoxious villa on a fucking cliff over-looking the water because they can. It has a gym, infinity pool, private beach access and various other amenities, including a huge wine cellar with included sommelier, and a garage of sports cars and motorbikes/scooters. They take the cars a few times, and the Montrealer in Shane fucking relishes in the chaotic pace of Spanish traffic (which Ilya has not yet had the opportunity to see and is a little shocked by, but finds incredibly hot).
It takes more for convincing for the motorbike.
“I don’t want to end up in the hospital on our honeymoon—”
“Who said anything about hospital? Hollander, I am an expert. I would drive all around—”
“Yeah, and you shouldn’t have been doing that, anyway! They’re death traps!”
“One ride. Just quickly around.”
“Ilya.”
“Shane.” He comes closer, sliding his hands over Shane’s hips. “You, with your secret fucked up driving? You will love it, I promise.” He squeezes his hands and shrugs innocently. “And if you’re too scared you can follow me in a car.”
“Fucking—” Shane cuts himself off. Glares. “If we get hurt you’re gonna break the news to Weibe. And my parents.”
Ilya gleefully hands him a helmet.
“This is peer pressure,” Shane grouses as Ilya helps him put it on.
“Mm,” Ilya hums, straddling the bike. He puts on his own helmet. He’s not hot. At all. “Now, behind me. Feet on the little things on the side—yes, perfect.” He revs the engine like an asshole, and Shane firmly tells himself that isn’t hot, either. Neither is the way Shane wraps his arms around him, or how he has to hook his chin over Ilya’s shoulder to hear him over the noise, or when Ilya smirks and says hold on, Hollander before they take off like a fucking shot. Shane swears in surprise, arms squeezing Ilya’s middle. He can he feel him laughing and can’t help but grin back.
It’s… okay, it’s fun.
Ilya eases off the speed a little so it isn’t quite as terrifying, takes the turns more slowly, and is careful with the cracks and potholes. Eventually, the fact that he’s holding back becomes more annoying than sweet, and Shane takes advantage of an empty road at their more sedate pace to cuddle up against Ilya’s back more thoroughly. “This how you normally drive?” Shane yells against the wind.
He can feel Ilya shrug. “Precious cargo!” He yells back.
“Don’t worry about me!”
Ilya glances back at him, raising a brow. At the squeeze of Shane’s arms around him, he smirks and fucking guns it. They weave through traffic, around potholes, and take turns that have Shane’s heart in his throat and his adrenaline pumping. “If it’s too much, you say!” He hears Ilya yell through the wind.
It’s not too much. It is so embarrassingly not too much that he gets hard and horny enough to rub up against Ilya and feels him laugh delightedly. When Shane sees a good spot up ahead he grins. “Hey! Pull over up there!”
Ilya glances back, confused, but does as he’s told. “Are you—”
Shane has his helmet off almost before they’ve stopped, sliding off the back of the bike and walking backwards towards the trees. His hands are already undoing the button and zip of his shorts.
Ilya does that thing he does sometimes; the wide-eyed blush as he mouths wow, like all the air has been stolen from his lungs. He scrambles to follow.
first post for context / see the tag 'open relationship au' for more snippets or the masterlist so kindly put together by @tafkarfanfic. this is the first of (probably) four mhl awards scenes, so big things are coming! this is also the longest snippet so far! this one goes out to the anon who asked for more sex scenes not fading to black 😘
MHL Awards, 2015
Shane texts Ilya his room number just as he's arriving at the hotel. Taking it as the invitation it's clearly meant to be, Ilya checks in to his own room before heading straight for Shane's.
He's the one in the penthouse this time. Ilya appreciates the full circle moment but the reminder of the last time they were in Vegas also sets off a spark of anxiety in his gut.
A whole year they've been doing this, and what has changed? Shane is still with his useless boyfriend. Cracks have started to form in the foundation of their relationship but Ilya isn't sure what more he could be doing to encourage their growth. A part of him still can't believe it didn't end the moment Brian caught them together.
If Ilya only had more opportunities to see Shane - but such thinking is especially useless now, when he's about to head to Russia in just a couple of days.
He'll have to make today count.
He knocks. Just a couple of seconds later the door swings open. There's a teasing comment on the tip of Ilya's tongue about Shane's eagerness to see him but it dies swiftly as Ilya actually looks at him.
Fuck, he looks good.
He's even more beautiful than Ilya remembered, somehow. There's a new air of confidence to him. Not that Shane has ever been anything but fully secure in his skills, but Ilya has never seen him carry that off the ice in this way.
"Get in," Shane urges quietly, and Ilya obeys.
Haven't you ever wanted more time?

SHANE AND ILYA in HEATED RIVALRY⏤ 1.02, “Olympians”
ilya and svetlana's physical comfort and affection with each other even outside of sex is very important to me, so i want it to continue after shane and ilya are together, with shane settling into it and working through his own jealousy/insecurity about svetlana because i think platonic physicality is very important and sweet
and because it offers the very funny idea of poor svetlana tucked away in the corner of the couch with ilya's head resting on her stomach and shane laying against ilya with his head on his shoulder, which aw. cuddle puddle. ilya getting to be touching his two most important people at the same time.
but also there is now a total of 400 pounds of hockey player standing between her and freedom if she needs to get up
*face slaps face slaps rousing them from a nap because yes yes so cute but she needs to pee so MOVE your giant selves*
shane: >:| ilya: i'm literally hard rn (canon)

Was it a conscious choice for him to always touch Shane's face? That's Connor living in the character.
