    Summary

    "Shane tethered himself to Ilya's side. He remained there the whole day.

    And he hadn’t left, not really. He just excused himself for a moment or two at a time. But he always came back. Each time with something for Ilya. His medication with cold water, some of his favorite crisps and a premade sandwich, a cool washcloth that he used to wipe his face."
     
    -

    The morning after the anniversary of his mother’s death, Ilya wakes tangled up in grief, memory, and the steady warmth of the man who has spent years teaching him that love can stay. Over the course of one quiet summer morning at the cottage, Shane takes care of him in all the small ways that matter most.

    “Yeah, but I don't know. Is it safe?”

    “I don't know. Do you - do you even like it there?”
    “What difference does it make?”

    Summary

    Ilya, who Shane had known inside and out for years before he really knew himself, was looking at him and clutching his arm and thinking something he had never thought in front of Shane before. It was in his eyes. It was in his furrowed brows that weren’t sad, angry, or confused, but something else - like hesitation or fear. Shane’s throat constricted for the nth time, as it had every time he replayed the moment today. Ilya was scared of whatever he was thinking, or maybe of what Shane would think about whatever he was thinking, or maybe worst of all, of Shane himself.

    Ilya’s lip quivered in his mind, his chin trembling beneath wet lips and glazed eyes. ‘Shane,’ he had said, and closed his eyes, and thrown his head back. ‘Fuck, Shane, hit me.’

    Or; Ilya thinks he deserves pain and antagonizes the Metros until he gets beat up badly, Shane wants to get it across to him that he deserves happiness.

    Summary

    “It’s all foggy. I can’t see through all the bad.”

    Ilya bit his lip, eyes roaming over Nadia’s face. He held his mug tightly in his hands. “Is there… is there a lot of bad?” He asked carefully.

    Nadia let the silence hang. The words felt drastically understated. There was only bad. Nothing would ever feel right again. A tear rolled down her cheek.

    Summary

    “I saw the hit on the ice and my mom told me the rest. I had to be here with you.”

    Ilya felt an overwhelming feeling of emotion flood over him. He turned and pressed a gentle kiss to Shane’s hand.

    “What could I ever do to deserve you.” he said, his lips still pressed to Shane’s skin.

    “Absolutely nothing. You deserve everything good, baby.”

    Or: Ilya gets a bad hit on the ice and gets loved and cared for by the Hollanders despite trying his best not to.
