    Summary

    The montage years, in parts and pieces.

    From 2014–2016, Shane and Ilya learn one another in fragments: in games and hotel rooms; in sleepless nights and unsettling dreams; in texts and sexts and all the private rituals that they mistake for habit.

    But habit is only harmless until it starts keeping records. And repetition has a long memory for patterns.

    Or: denial is a contact sport, and the body knows the score.

    Summary

    “I mean, you— you say I’m perfect. That it’s, that everything we do together is… is perfect.”

    Yes, perfect,” Ilya says adamantly.

    “Okay. But. I mean. I like feedback, you know. If there are things you haven’t said because you don’t want to hurt my feelings, you could say. If there’s any judgement of my technique, like, that you’ve been doing silently in your head.”

    “I never judge you silently,” Ilya says. He pulls back a bit, twisting his neck so he can look Shane in the eye, frowning. “I judge you loudly. Is no fun if I don’t see your reaction.”

    “Ha, ha.”

    “Shane,” Ilya says. “Is this real worry you are having? I must know. You think I have… criticism of you, of sex with you? You think it is not perfect for me?”

    Shane and Ilya navigate their sexual relationship, now that they're finally a couple.
