    Summary

    His shirt, his shirt was—

    “You can’t—“ Shane blurted, “you can’t—you’re not supposed to wear a see-through shirt to Wimbledon. There’s a dress code. There are rules. Like, actual rules that actual people follow.”

    The man turned, his eyes sweeping over Shane’s face, down his chest, to the hands clutching the gift bag in his lap.

    Shane’s skin prickled. God, it was so hot out here.

    “Is not see-through.”

    Not see-through? Who was this guy kidding, with his barely-there shirt, tight pants, wild curls, and deep voice?

    Maybe this guy didn’t own a mirror.

    “What do you mean it’s not see-through? It’s obviously transparent. A blind man would notice.”

    “Is not transparent. No blind men here to ask.”

    Shane’s mouth dropped open. He looked away, squaring his shoulders and sitting up straight. Just his luck to be seated next to a lunatic.

    ***

    Shane’s mom said it would be fun, to sit next to a Swedish princess.
    What Shane got instead was a Prince with a pinkie ring, a nipple piercing, and zero respect for the Wimbledon dress code.

    Summary

    Shane swallows. His mouth is dry from the wine. “Yeah.”

    Hunter’s eyes are molten in the low light. “Shane. Do you wanna come upstairs?”

    Shane is momentarily distracted by the way Hunter’s accent curls around his first name, but then the question registers and the realisation hits him like a lightning bolt. The words might be different, but the play is the same. I might open. I might knock.

    It’s a scene straight from his teenage daydreams, and it’s terrifying and electrifying all at once.

    “Yes,” he blurts.

    *

    After the unmitigated disaster that is their conversation in Sochi, Shane decides that he's done with Ilya Rozanov once and for all. Scott Hunter, eager to make amends for their fight on the ice, proves a convenient distraction.

    Reconciliation leads to realisations lead to a hotel room, and Shane ends up sleeping with Hunter on the same day Rozanov tells him we aren't anything.

    What he doesn't know is that Ilya's hotel room is right next to Hunter's. And Ilya is completely, totally, absolutely normal about this.

    Summary

    “No one is here now,” Ilya observes, theatrically turning his head left and right and spreading his arms wide. Droplets of water trickle temptingly down the line of his forearms, tracing a stark vein running along his bicep. “Just us.”

    “Just us,” Shane echoes, quiet and almost disbelieving.

    These days together have melted into one long, sundrenched dream. At any given moment, he half-expects he’ll jolt awake.

    -

    Or: the day after the 'I love you's, Shane still doesn't quite think this could all be real. A golden afternoon down at the lake helps him believe it. A 1x06 missing scene.

    Summary

    Once upon a time, Ilya had put a pretty girl in the passenger seat of his Porsche and fingered her while he pushed 120 down the interstate. He’d kissed drunk boys in seedy European clubs. He’d been impossibly hot, impossibly cool.

    Moreover, he was impossibly ill-prepared for the dizzying experience of being Shane Hollander’s boyfriend. Because Shane was turning out to be a really good boyfriend, the kind that quietly handled expensive restaurant checks, the kind that made soup when he was sick and held open his coat for him.

    Ilya basically had no choice but to get hard about it.

    Or: a 5+1 of Ilya versus Shane’s boyfriendisms, told over the years.
