    Summary

    “My - it’s my,” Shane pants, his hand flapping like Ilya’s sometimes does when he’s searching for an English translation that he can’t quite remember. Shane’s heart squeezes painfully. “He’s-“

    He wants to say my boyfriend is on that plane. He wants to cry, and throw things, and scream the love of my life might be dying while we stand here. But he doesn’t. He can’t. His voice can’t find the words, can’t find the strength to speak, and even if he could - would he? Would Shane tell the whole world that for him, it has always been Ilya? Will only ever be Ilya?

     

    (Or, the plane scene in The Long Game goes a little differently.)

    Summary

    “You know, one day you’re gonna meet someone you love so much you’ll want to toss all your stupid rules out the window just to be around them,” Jessica told him the day they broke up.

    God, Shane remembers thinking. I fucking hope not.

    Summary

    Ilya could see the best of David and Yuna in Shane. It was magnificent, to see their love reflected and amplified in his fiance, but it also scared him. Was his own father’s crass disregard, his mother’s sadness, amplified within him the same way?

    Ilya cleared his throat.

    ”I think I was unfair to you yesterday, David. I am sorry.”

    David frowned, still somehow managing to look kind. His oatmeal had long been forgotten, though he’d been scraping his spoon around the bowl in the same way that Shane often did when he was too busy thinking to actually eat.

    “Oh, kiddo. You don’t have anything to say sorry to me for.”

    Or: Ilya tries to navigate love, and love navigates its way back.

    Summary

    Yuna looks from her phone to the man falling asleep on her couch. Ilya had shown up at her door twenty minutes before- Shane was gone to practice, and Ilya wasn’t feeling well. Yuna isn’t sure if it’s mental or physical just yet, but it doesn’t matter. She’s just glad Ilya knows he’s welcome here no matter what.
