Shane’s propped up on some pillows, arm in a sling, bruises blooming on his face, squinting against the daylight, but alive. Alive, and conscious, and - not alone.

Ilya swallows, eyes flickering between Shane, two people he recognises as Shane’s parents, and Hayden fucking Pike.

They all look at him with surprise, and a little hostility. Pike actually starts to rise from his chair, poised to, what, defend Shane? As though Ilya would track down an injured player to a hospital bed to cause more trouble?

He’s ready to just turn around and leave, but Shane’s managed to focus his eyes on the door.

“Ilyaaaa!”

Ilya visits Shane in hospital. Shane already has other visitors.
