    Summary

    A collection of Shane Hollander being a doting husband, since before they were married, from 2013 to 2021.

    ("You cheat," Ilya grumbled sleepily, goosebumps erupting all over his body as Shane softly scratched his back, his dull nails tenderly raking down his skin.

    "I know, baby," Shane replied amusedly. He pulled the blanket higher over Ilya, tucking it in below his ears and then returned to rubbing his back. "Sleepy, huh?" He asked, mirth in his voice, when Ilya yawned noisily.

    Shane's hand prevented Ilya from opening his eyes in protest, and he harrumphed. He didn't respond, didn't have the energy to pry open his mouth or even to think of a snarky response. He just pursed his lips to kiss Shane's pec, letting his touches lull him into sleep.

    "My sweet boy," Shane sighed quietly, as if not intending for Ilya to hear.)

    Summary

    After a moment, Hayden pulls back. Then he hands her the phone—Shane’s phone.

    “I grabbed this when I was getting his stuff and I saw, well.”

    He looks away from Yuna, briefly glances at David, then looks away from him too. There’s an oddly guilty look on his face that has Yuna suspicious at once.

    “Um, has Shane told you guys about Lily?”

    --

    AKA, Yuna and David find out about Lily, Shane’s... girlfriend?, while he's in the hospital. It's a while before they find out about Ilya.

    Summary

    “There’s information coming out that the Centaur’s plane crashed on its way to Tampa.”

    The entire world tilts on its axis.

    For a moment Shane feels like he’s being burned alive, and then in an instant it’s just bitter cold; there’s ice in his veins, his lungs, his heart. God, his heart. Is it still beating? He can’t tell. Surely not. Surely, if Ilya were - if he were gone, then Shane’s heart would have fallen still. There would be nothing left for it to beat for.

    Summary

    “You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.

    “I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”

    He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.

    When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.

    (the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)

    (or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)
