Summary
“Hey, Hollander, it’s your turn to tell the story,” Wyatt Hayes interrupts from the row behind them.
“The what?” Shane questions, looking to Ilya, who only manages to give him a sort of sympathetic look. “Is this some kind of hazing thing you didn’t tell me about?”
Troy Barrett’s head pops up from the row in front of him. “It’s something we do every flight. Harris told the story about his sister and a skunk on that first flight after the incident in Tampa, and it kinda became a thing. Helps to calm everyone’s nerves.”
“Oh,” Shane says, feeling nervous and kind of annoyed already. “Just like…any story?”
“Usually it’s something funny. Pretty simple stuff,” Nick Chouinard tells him. “But you’ve got to stand in the aisle and project so we can all hear you.”
“Oh, but I don’t have that loud of a voice,” he tries to say, but it doesn’t seem like anyone is listening, an excited rumble moving through the team.
Fucking great.
“So, the first time Ilya met my parents was so bad.”
“How bad was it?” Hayes deadpans, and everyone laughs again.
Shane swallows. "I'm so glad you asked."

Summary
“Today,” he says loudly. “Today, I will tell you about the time Shane got jealous because Tro–”
“NO, Ilya,” Shane interrupts him, and Ilya greatly enjoys watching Troy’s head snap towards Shane, who glows like a freshly picked tomato.
And that’s fine, really. Being Shane Hollander’s husband means he has so much material to work with.
“Okay, well, what about the time you bought us a sex building?” he asks, and barely gets the sentence out before Zane Boodram makes a loud exclamation.
“A what now?” he asks, as the eyes of everyone on the plane flit back and forth from Shane to Ilya.
“Definitely not,” Shane snaps, and Ilya grins.
“What about the time you panicked so much you got into a relationship with Rose Landry because I said your first name?”
There’s an audible intake of breath, and Ilya watches as a number of emotions cross Shane’s face before it finally settles into something that looks resigned.
“Fine,” Shane says with a roll of his eyes, and the team cheers as Ilya’s smile grows so wide he knows his cheeks will start to hurt soon.
Ilya claps his hands in front of him. “It all started with tuna melts.”

Summary
“Storytime!” Ilya says in a sing-songy voice. There’s clapping and suggestive cat-calls, and Shane can already feel his cheeks heating up. Ilya looks at him expectantly, holding out his hand, and any optimism Shand had of getting out of this dies in the brightness of Ilya’s grin.
Shane feels his body standing before he can think to stop it, helpless to do anything but answer the call of Ilya’s outstretched hand. The applause gets louder, and his blush deepens, but they had said they’d do this together, and everything just feels innately less terrible standing next to Ilya.
A fact he’ll have to keep reminding himself of when this inevitably goes south.
“What’s the story today, you two?” Evan Dykstra asks, putting his headphones around his neck, as Shane and Ilya take their spot at the front of the plane.
“We thought we would go back a bit,” Ilya says. “To the time we did an ad campaign together.”
