    Summary

    “Thank you, Shane. For repairing my car.” Ilya shakes his hand one more time before pulling away. Shane might just be deluding himself once again, but he could feel how Ilya purposely dragged his palm slowly across his, even extending his fingers just so their skin would be touching each other longer; he took his time letting go. It felt way more sensual than it should be.

    His cheeks were now turning red. “Ah, don't thank me just yet, haha. Still have to actually fix your car later. But you can trust me on taking care of it, I’ll be sure to be very careful!” Shane says enthusiastically. This makes Ilya smirk again.

    “Hm. Then I will thank you tomorrow again. See you.”

    Shane Hollander works in an auto repair shop. Ilya Rozanov owns a ton of spare sports cars and has a lot of free time.

    Summary

    Ilya loved the closing shift.

    Until this fucking guy started coming in a 7:55 pm. Almost every single fucking day.

    The first time it happened, Ilya was annoyed. He had just cleaned the espresso machine, and now he would have to redo it. 8:30! Ilya got out thirty fucking minutes late because of one guy!

    But, it was fine. It was fine. Getting out late one time wasn’t that big of a deal.

    Until it happened again. And again. And again. Until-

    “Why the hell do you come in here so late?”

    or

    Ilya is a barista at a small local coffee shop. Shane is a doctor that annoys the fuck out of him. The annoyance turns into fondness; the fondness turns into lust. They fuck in the shop.

    Summary

    “What are you wearing?” Ilya asks, his voice sounding strangled. 

    Shane looks down, confused. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing? I always–”

    “Why are you wearing your glasses?” Ilya interrupts, and Shane notices the tension in his entire body when he speaks. 

    “I ran out of contacts,” Shane says. 

    “So you are wearing glasses to practice?”

    “Yeah, it’s just one practice,” he says defensively, even though he’s done nothing wrong. “I’ll grab a pair of contacts from the eye doctor this afternoon."

    “Right,” Ilya says, his eyes laser-focused on Shane’s face as his lips set in a tight line. 

    “Is that a problem?” Shane quips, and it comes off kind of bitchy, but he’s so confused as to why Ilya would have any issue with him wearing his glasses to one practice. He normally loves Shane in glasses. 

    Ilya seems to shake himself out of whatever weird-ass mood he’d fall into. He smiles, but it looks strained. “Of course not. Let’s go.” 

    ___

    Or, Shane has to wear his glasses to practice and Ilya absolutely cannot deal with it.
