    Summary

    Maybe it was the alcohol. Maybe it was the month of silence, of sleepless nights and unsaid words piling up inside him. Maybe it was the simple, terrifying certainty that if Shane walked away again, it could be for good. That if he didn’t say something now, he never would.

    Resolve settled heavy in Ilya’s chest.

    “Shane Hollander,” he breathed unsteadily. “Running away from me again. Starting to hurt my feelings.”

    or, things go a little bit differently, starting at the club. ilya has spent his whole life afraid, and he's tired of it.

    or, this is not a love story, but a story about love. featuring crossword puzzles, phone calls, anger, joy, grief, hospitals, first dates, burning houses, ill-timed reveals, sunsets, christmas, birthdays, and excessive use of the word 'boring'. not specifically in that order.

Of his father yelling when the food wasn’t ready soon enough. Of the stiff church services and silent dinners on hay-covered tables. Briefly, Ilya wondered what his father would have thought about this — celebrating Christmas on the wrong day, in the home of an American, far away from what was left of his family.

    HOLLANDER AND ROZANOV IN SHOCKING VEGAS PHOTOS!

    Star Players Have Yet to Issue Comment on Alleged Wedding Photos Leaked Online.

    The photo below was of the two of them in their tuxes, with dopey, boozed-out, lust-drunk expressions on their faces. Rozanov’s hand was gripped tightly—possessively—around Shane’s jaw, their mouths inches apart, clearly about to kiss.

    Rozanov’s hand had a wedding ring on it.

    Shane sends the “we didn’t even kiss” text. Their night in Vegas doesn’t end there. And their lives will never be the same…

    Marriage in Vegas, everyone knows. I was drinking vodka at twelve,” Rozanov said, matter-of-factly. “My grandfather would roll over in his grave if I did this.”

    Summary

    “I can’t, I can’t do this.” Shane looks down at his feet, panting, looking so fucking beautiful and Ilya aches. Shane is ripping his heart out, gripping it tight in his hand how he is Ilya’s t-shirt.

    “Hollander,” Ilya says, and it’s a plea. It’s I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it, I shouldn’t have said it, come back.

    “I’m sorry,” Shane breathes, his eyes screwed shut like if he looks at Ilya, he’ll break. Will come running back to the couch. But he doesn’t want that, doesn’t want Ilya, so he turns and leaves and Ilya is alone.

    No break up dating rose mess How did we let this happen?” Shane breathes into his shoulder.

    Ilya chuckles and wraps him up tighter. “Because we are both very stupid and irresponsible.”

    “This is real though, right?” Shane asks, fear creeping into his voice.

    Ilya grabs him by the chin, makes him look at him.

    “This is real, Shane. I love you. So fucking much.”

    “Say it again in Russian, please?”

    Ilya smiles, “я тебя люблю,” he breathes, so happy to be able to tell him. In his native tongue. It means more than Shane could ever know. This feeling he’s had bottled up inside finally escaping. He feels so free.

    It won’t be easy, this thing between them, Ilya knows that. But they’ll be okay. As long as they have each other. They’ll be okay.

    i’ve been thinking a lot about the fact that after the tuna melts and after shane left, ilya would have had to clean everything up. alone. and that sadness has not left my brain. so, here it is. a post-tuna melt angsty fix-it. this isn’t beta read so please tell me if you see any mistakes.

    Scott and Kip break up, get back together, or: how to change your life (gradually and then suddenly). This time, he thinks, they’ll meet in the middle and build something new.

    Summary

    “Y-Yeah, totally,” Shane replied. “D-Do you uh– do you know who that kid with Rozanov is?”

    Scott laughed a little, tilting his head in confusion.

    “Probably Rozanov’s kid,” he informed Shane, causing his brain to stall completely.

    “You didn’t hear?” Scott asked, and Shane blinked, trying to reboot his mind from the crash that Scott had just caused. “It’s why he took time off,” Hunter informed him. “Found out he had a kid, I guess. Or something like that, I didn’t really get the details.”

    Of all the reasons he’d thought of for Ilya disappearing for the past month, this had never crossed his mind. A million different thoughts raced through Shane’s mind. How the hell was Ilya a dad, and why hadn’t he told Shane and how the fuck did Scott Hunter of all people find out before him and—

    And what the fuck was Shane supposed to do now?
