Summary
“You peeled the tangerine,” he babbles a bit stupidly, Ilya frowns at him “For me. You peeled it.”
I hate peeling them. Shane wants to say. It makes my hands sticky and I hate that feeling and I can't ever take the peel off cleanly and that drives me mad. And you peeled them for me without me having to ask. He pops a piece into his mouth and realizes that the seeds have been carefully squeezed out, he feels his eyes well up with even more tears. I never even told you about this, I never told anyone about this. And somehow you knew.
“Well yes,” Ilya tells him, a confused smile on his face “You hate peeling them.”

Summary
"Ilya grumbles again but sits up enough for Shane to hand him his plate. There’s a blt sandwich (a favorite of his) along with what must be apple slices cut up in a curious shape.
“What are these?” Ilya asks, points at the apple slices. Shane goes even pinker, the blush now spreading up to his ears and down to his neck.
“Rabbit shaped apple slices,” Shane murmurs, looking down at said apple slices with a little smile on his face “mom used to cut them like this for me when i was grumpy as a child, i thought i might cheer you up.”
Ilya immediately feels the burn on his nose again, except this time he doesn’t fight it. He gently puts the plate down on his side table and then he covers his face with his hands and sobs loudly, wetly, shoulders shaking with the strength of his crying."
