    Summary

    “Okay. Do you… Do you think you can talk to anyone about this? Even if it wasn’t me?” Ilya inquired. He brushed the tip of his nose against Shane’s upper arm and rested his head against it. Obviously Ilya would love it if Shane opened up and talked to him about it but he figured if Shane wouldn’t talk to him maybe he could talk to someone else. Maybe a therapist, or his parents or Rose or… Hayden. As much as Ilya disliked the idea of Shane going to Hayden to talk about his problems instead of him, it was better than to keep it all inside.

    Shane shrugged at the idea. “I don’t feel like I could talk to anyone about this…” His eyes were open now and glassy. He swallowed hard as he avoided looking at Ilya.

    OR; Shane is hiding something from Ilya... from everyone. And Ilya is worried sick.

    Summary

    “I love you, Ilya—you know you can tell me anything, right?” 
    Ilya wasn’t quite yet ready to hold eye contact, so he spoke into the room. “I think I’m getting bad again.”
    “Depressive episode?” It was obvious, but Shane always needed to ask specifically.
    “Yes.”
    Shane braced himself before asking more. “Were you… having dark thoughts? Is that what made you cry?”
    “Yes… I’m so sorry.” Admitting it made the tears well up again.
    Ilya’s husband squeezed him harder and lightly grabbed a fistful of his hair. 
    “It’s okay sweetheart, shh. I’m not mad at you, okay? It’s just your brain being mean to you. This isn’t your fault.”

    ------

    Ilya is falling into a depressive episode and experiences passive suicidal thoughts. Shane helps him through a difficult moment.

    Summary

    And wasn’t Ilya a burden?
    “You would be better off. Without me,” he said, the words almost lost in his shirt as he dipped his chin. But Shane heard him. He always did.
    He jerked upright and turned his body to face Ilya, his hand suddenly gripping his thigh tightly.
    “What? Ilya, no. No way. Why would you think that?”

    Summary

    “Is just the new routine, okay?” Ilya pleaded, his voice breaking. “The pills were working and now there is more stress so I just need to get used to it and will be fixed, okay?”

    “How bad is it?”

    “Shane, please.”

    “Ilya, you promised no more secrets, no more hiding. How bad?”

    He covered his face in his palms, his elbows resting on his knees, and took in a shuddered breath. “...bad.”
