    Summary

    Ilya's face split into a wide grin. It made his eyes sparkle. Shane wanted to kiss him very badly. "Oh. Oh. You are very drunk."

    "I wouldn't say very drunk. I'm normal drunk." Shane corrected, stepping closer to Ilya until they were barely centimeters apart. Shane reached up and wrapped his arms around Ilya's neck. They were so close and he smelled so good. Shane breathed him in for a second. Fuck, he had missed him so badly. It had only been two weeks, but it felt like forever.

    "I missed you too." Ilya whispered. Wait, had Shane said that out loud? Oops. Maybe he was very drunk. "More than you know."

    Or, the transition from friends with benefits to lovers is far from seamless.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” Shane asks Ilya.

    “Svetlana set me up on a blind date,” he responds, doesn’t bother lying. Curious to see what his reaction will be. “What are you doing here?” He throws back.

    Shane’s eyebrows do something complicated. They’re interrupted by a knock on the door.

    “Babe? You okay in there? You’ve been in there for a while,” a voice comes through.

    “I’ll be right out, just washing my hands,” Shane responds stiffly. They hear footsteps walk away from the bathroom.

    “Babe?” Ilya repeats. Watches as Shane’s cheeks turn pink again.

    “That’s Jackson,” Shane states. “My boyfriend. It’s our one year anniversary.”

    “Ah.” Is all Ilya can say. Tries to smile, “Congratulations.”

    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t seem to go out much, aside from the few times Shane sees him leave and return dragging two armfuls of groceries. He slips out onto the fire escape several times a day, every day, to chainsmoke and look miserable. It’s only natural, given the sheer amount of time he spends out there, that Shane would cross paths with him while using his own patio.

    Shane has a four year plan to captain his college hockey team and join the MLH, but none of that will happen if he gets lung cancer from all the cigarette smoke his smartass new neighbor produces, or if he keeps wasting his time meeting him on the fire escape.

    Summary

    With his face contorted into a scowl that Rose warned him would become permanent one day, Shane opened the door to reveal one of the hottest men he had ever seen, shirtless, holding his long-lost cat.

    Instead of being suave or even just normal about the combination strippergram/pet deliveryman on his doorstep, Shane opted to blow it immediately.

    “Where the fuck have you been?” Shane yelled.

    A Neighbors AU in which Ilya is the annoying guy next door and Shane tries to deal with it.
