    Summary

    Shane’s hands rest on Ilya’s shoulders like they often do and he lets out a long breath. “I'm sorry. I don’t know why I -”

    “Shh. Is okay. Just don’t run away.” Ilya catches his gaze and holds it. “I don’t want you to go.”

    For the second time that day, Shane nods and quietly says, “Okay.”

    or, Shane stays at Ilya's house rather than running away.

    Summary

    “I can’t believe you're here.” Shane says, blushing like he's embarrassed.

    “You said you wanted me to be.” Ilya shrugs, trying to be cool. “And you do not seem like someone who asks for things very often when you need them.”

    or, in the summer of 2016 when they don't normally see each other, Ilya gets a text from Shane that changes everything.

    Summary

    Shane groans as he tries to sit up, memories of the previous night coming back to him like a tidal wave. He went out to a club. Ilya was there. He broke up with Rose. He told her he’s gay. He got really fucking drunk and he called -

    “Good morning.” Ilya says from right next to him.

    or, Shane breaks up with Rose shortly after the club scene and then he drunkenly calls Ilya.

    Summary

    The first time they hooked up, Rozanov had kissed him before Shane got on his knees. They kissed when Scott Hunter was in the room next-door. And they kissed slowly and sweetly, on his apartment stairway, after Rozanov had taken his world apart and put him back together again. Hell, even in that bathroom, where he felt as if the Russian was trampling on his bared soul, Rozanov had kissed him.

    So why was it different this time? What did he do wrong?

    Shane aches with how much he wants—needs the other man. There is a hollow numbness in his chest every time he thinks about those golden curls and ocean eyes, and he hates himself for wishing he could have more.

    ---

    Wanting Hollander is dangerous, because Ilya is wanting more than he’s allowed to have. But Ilya keeps wanting more and more, because he is vain, selfish, undisciplined. He wants to have Hollander in his arms, sweet, warm, and gorgeous.

    And he will always regret it later, in the quiet moments that come in the aftermath, in the small and lingering ache that follows him once they are apart.

    Or: Shane spirals and avoids Ilya post-Vegas. Ilya chases after him, and they talk.

    Summary

    Shane can’t look at him, stares at the corner, at the mirror, unseeing, everything a little hazy around the edges. He can’t focus, everything in shapes and colours, his mind not catching the minutiae. It’s like he’s staring into an abyss. His lungs struggle to take in the acrid air around them. He feels separate to his own body, like he’s staring at the situation from somewhere far away.

    Then Rozanov is grabbing his face and his fingers are just the right pressure and the touch feels like a life preserver, like he could sink into it, like he could be safe there. Like Rozanov is holding up his whole body in one hand.

    But those hands have been on him before and he was left alone, untethered for six months.

    He slaps Rozanov’s hand away. Shane takes satisfaction in the surprise splayed across his face. So obvious, even Shane can recognise it.

    When Shane’s eyes meet Rozanov’s, the bland disinterest has been shuttered by something he can’t recognise. His face looks both the same and completely unlike it ever has before. Now that their gaze is locked, Shane can’t look away. Doesn’t even blink.

    “Fuck. You.”

    OR: The MLH Awards ends differently.
