    Summary

    “You are so pretty, Hollander. Your freckles err— take my breath.”

    Shane glares. “Rozanov, you can’t say that here,” he says through gritted teeth. “They can hear us.”

    “Who gives a fuck?” He declares with a careless shrug. “Whole world knows we are lovers, so what?”

    The world most definitely does not need to know that he’s on Ilya’s extensive fuck buddies roster.

    Or

    According to Ilya, Shane is the best boyfriend anyone could ask for. If you ask Shane, he’ll tell you they are just fuck buddies.

    Summary

    Because even now, as they eat and David and Shane and Ilya all talk, she is trying to figure out the details of the whole thing, trying to pass her mind back to all those years, figure out if she had missed something along the way. There’s something like grief sitting heavy in her chest, the realization that she had missed every moment of her son falling in love, still can’t understand the how of it all.

    OR

    Dinner, the day after. Yuna gets her chance to sit down and hear from Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    "Panic attack," Shane corrected.
    "Yes, that. So." He tapped the bottom of the can. "Cold. And sugar. And," he squeezed, tight but not sudden, "this. Pressure. Warm."

    In which Shane panics just a little harder, post tuna melts. Ilya responds well to panic.

    Summary

    It is possible that Shane has miscalculated.

    The Montreal Metros are down bad – not in points, thank god, but definitely in players currently able to breathe through their nose.

    Shane is pretty confident it started with Hayden sniffling last week, but he’s too loyal a friend to bring that up, especially now that half the team is down with whatever cursed germs have entered their locker-room and decimated their starting line-up.

    Still, Shane was very confident. Shane eats well and exercises regularly. His body is finely honed. He is a professional athlete. He would not, he repeatedly assured everyone in his life, get sick. 

    It is possible that science has failed him.

    Summary

    “You’re like,” Merlin tries to explain it, if only so Arthur stops looking at him with that strange, unsure look, “a toothache.”

    The new look on Arthur’s face is not a better one.

    “A toothache?” he says, dead calm, “Are you serious? Are you honestly saying that you think being married to me would be like having a toothache? Merlin!”

    “I’m going to bed,” Merlin says, bailing out now and ignoring all protesting sputtering, because this conversation is clearly a problem for future Merlin. He will soothe Arthur and make sure that he knows anyone would be lucky to be married to him, but in a really annoying way. Merlin will figure it out. Future Merlin, that is.

    Not this one.

    This one is already drooling onto his luxurious down pillow, blissfully unaware of what he has wrought.
