    Summary

    5 times Yuna Hollander is there for Shane, and 1 time Ilya Rozanov is.

    “You know, you used to say that the noise of fireworks or the ocean scared your ears,” she says softly, smiling at the fond memory.

    “I'm not scared,” Shane grunts defensively.

    His shoulders are tense and his jaw is clenched. Yuna sighs. “I didn't say you were,” she reassures.

    Summary

    When Shane was freshly sixteen, Yuna came home to find him freaking out by himself at the kitchen island.

    He was perched on one of the bar stools with his entire torso slumped across the counter and his arms extended in front of him, hands balled into fists on the granite. His head was buried between his shoulders and he didn’t sound like he was breathing.

    Yuna didn’t say anything for a solid thirty seconds. Alarms blaring in her head, she silently tossed her purse to the side and beelined for her son with her hands out to comfort him.

    ---

    Or: Five times Yuna suspected Shane was gay, and the one time she finally found the right words to say.

    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t remember slamming his fist down on the counter. Or even making the decision to do so. The thing he won’t ever be able to forget, however?

    Is the quiet, almost inaudible intake of breath from behind him. The wide-eyed expression of pure, unadulterated fear on Dima’s face when Ilya, ripping the headphones off his head, whirls around to look at him. Dima’s defensive stance, his tense shoulders, his harsh breathing, the wariness with which he’s staring at Ilya as if Ilya’s—as if he’s everything Dima’s ever been afraid of in his life, made real and palpable right in front of him.

    [5 times Ilya has to contend with the heartbreaking fact that his nephew is terrified of him, plus the 1 time he realizes that might not actually be true anymore.]

    [Can be read as a standalone.]
