    Summary

    “Guess you were not pretty enough for either of us, huh?” Ilya said, Shane had expected his words to sting, but this shattered; it dug into every insecurity Shane had ever had, especially being pretty enough for Ilya.

    or

    After the whole mess with Rose, Shane doesn't know who he's meant for, but he knows it will probably never be Ilya Rozanov. This doesn't stop them from meeting again and from Ilya throwing a cruel comment out on the ice. Shane has never enjoyed being just "pretty", not to anyone, but after Ilya implies that Shane wasn't pretty enough for him to stay, Shane is determined to show Ilya just how pretty he can be.

    Summary

    “Ah,” Ilya said, grinning, going for the joke.

    Shane looked up, curious.

    “So being boring is genetic?”

    He expected laughter. Or the way Shane would roll his eyes even as he melted, the way that made the teasing feel welcome.

    Instead, Shane’s smile disappeared completely. It wasn’t dramatic. It just… went. Like a light switched off.

    “Yeah,” Shane said, clearing his throat, forcing the word out before it could crack. “I guess so.”

    He took a step back, creating space that felt suddenly necessary, like he might suffocate if he drifted any closer. Every instinct in him screamed to leave. To put distance between himself and this feeling and the source of it before it swallowed him whole

    Summary

    Weight loss was eighty percent nutrition, twenty percent exercise. The exercise part he already had, mapped out in neat pen-and-paper grids because he trusted that more than any app. Running five days a week. Swimming six. With just enough wiggle room to add more if things got “out of hand”. Which, of course, they wouldn’t. Not if he kept control. Not if he stayed on top of it.

    When old habits start to resurface, Frank does what he does best. He runs.

    Summary

    Hey. Can we talk?

    Scott’s text message came in the middle of the night. Kip discovered it in the morning, when he was still blinking sleep out of his eyes, feeling instantly awake as he stared at the words.

    Hey. Of course, he typed frantically. Where and when?

    Scott didn’t read the message. He wasn’t online for quite a while.

    And then, Kip got the call.

    ~

    Scott hits his head. Kip was waiting for a text message. They're not okay.
