    Summary

    “You don’t look at me like I am crazy.” Ilya says, voice barely above a breath.

    Shane’s brow furrows. “Because you’re not.”

    “I feel like I am.”

    Shane’s hand comes up to cradle his jaw. Warm palm with gentle pressure on his skin. “You look like someone doing something hard.” Something in Ilya’s chest cracks open again, but softer this time.

    (ie. ilya has a very rough day at therapy and comes home to shane to process it all and feel comfort)

    Summary

    Ilya is not the kind of person who gets attached to people he pays.

    Unfortunately, Shane exists.

    Or: debt-ridden escort Shane keeps taking worse clients. Ilya is one of them, and he develops a deeply inconvenient crush about it.

    Summary

    “Please say something.” Pike sounded miserable, and even with his mind hollowed out, Ilya felt a twinge of satisfaction. “I know you hate me. Just say it. I deserve it.”

    Ilya’s mouth opened, but before he could say something, Shane sat up. He looked at Pike, his face flat, but Ilya saw the paleness in his cheeks where a beautiful flush usually sat.

    “I do, Hayden. I do really hate you right now.”

    or: Hayden Pike accidentally outs Ilya and Shane through his FanMail video. Except the “accident” isn’t an excuse anymore.

    Summary

    “You handled it well. You flunked a bit the questions we had prepared, but you did well.”
    Flunked?” Shane asked, voice pitching up as the words salted over the open wound, the infected gutting from the top of his throat down to his stomach.
    “You should have rectified and make your position clear about Scott Hunter. We don’t want you to sound like you’re antagonizing him,” Yuna added, matter-of-factly, her eyes narrowing on the knot of his tie, adjusting it like it still mattered.

    Shane’s body shook violently against his will, dislodging from under her touch. Yuna looked up, surprised by his reaction.
    Surprise that shifted to horror immediately.

    “No, that’s not what I meant–”
    “I need to–” he gasped, bringing a hand to cover his mouth, while Yuna tried to grab his arm. Any other time, he could have avoided her, but Shane was falling.

    Summary

    Hayden had been expecting this call for months.

    He had known somewhere deep within himself that it was coming, ever since the Centaurs' plane crashed and his best friend lost the love of his life – even if Hayden had never cared that much for the man himself.

    Watching Shane receive the news from J.J.'s careless mouth, watching him bend over at the waist like someone had scraped out his inner organs–

    Yeah, Hayden knew.

    He was weirdly proud of Shane for holding out this long.
