    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t say anything. He keeps watching Shane from the doorway. When he speaks, his voice is quiet and he’s looking down at his bare feet. “You said you would stay,” he says. “That is what I remember.”

    In which Shane freaks out but doesn't leave in episode four.

    “Well, don’t you look... pretty.”

    “Fuck,” he whispers, embarrassed at his choice of outfit. “This was such a bad idea.”

    -

    Or, what happens if Shane doesn’t change his suit for that first fateful rendezvous in room 1410?

    Summary

    The picture is leaked on a random fucking Tuesday in November, months after Ilya was last in Montreal.

    Grainy and dark, enhanced digitally to shit but still just recognisable enough; Shane Hollander smiling dopily as a broad-shouldered man in a dark hoodie has him pushed up against a red brick wall, one knee lifted to hook around the back of a thigh, a large hand possessively holding it in place as the hooded figure has his face hidden in the crook of Hollander’s neck — presumably kissing him there, intimately.

    Ilya knows his team is good, and they do the best they can.

    Summary

    The weekend Shane spends in Boston gives he and Rozanov some time, for once, to do something other than have sex. He hadn’t considered the dreaded alternative: conversation about sex.

    Ilya just wants whatever he’s allowed. And also much more than that, probably.

    --

    [or: instead of shane walking out post tuna melt, they decide to become exclusive instead.]
