    Summary

    Entering an actual relationship near the very beginning of when they first meet, Shane is still paranoid about pictures of them getting shared so Ilya buys him a Polaroid camera instead to document their relationship all the way back from 2012. The only problem is that he never intended for Yuna to find the album.
    ---
    “I know we can’t have pictures of each other, but I still want them,” he confessed, still fiddling with Shane’s hair for his own comfort. “And I thought maybe...if they were just ours, you might be okay with it.”  

    Shane stayed silent, eyes glancing between his tense expression and the bag as he pulled out a Polaroid camera. His thumb was gripping it so hard he thought it might crack, his anxiety manifesting physically.  

    “Ilya...” He paused, finally sitting up a bit more. Enough that Ilya had no choice but to let his hand fall away from his hair or else, it would seem too clingy.  

    “Is fine, if you don’t like idea,” he clarified, even though the thought of being rejected terrified him more than he could possibly express. “Was just a thought—” 

    “I like it,” Shane interjected before he could spin himself into a tizzy he would deny ever feeling in the first place.

    Summary

    “Put on the pink hat, Shane.”

    “Uh, why?”

    “Canadians,” Ilya groans, “I want to see you in pink. Pretty in pink, yeah?” He shoves his hand into the toque and waggles his fingers around. Like a sock puppet. Or like--Ilya smirks.

    Shane is aware that he’s physically breathing, but he can’t feel any oxygen actually going to his brain. His vision is narrowing on the pink until it’s all he can see. It’s pink like women’s clothing is pink, not the salmon or beige ties in his gameday closet. It’s pink like a man isn’t. “I, uh, okay. Yeah.”

    A male med student. And fuck, the guy is actually pretty chill and dorky.
