Rose thinks he should practice first. She practices with her best friend, Daisy.Shane wants to be a good boyfriend
Which means learning to kiss.
Which means practice.
Which means asking the person he trusts most.
Ilya Rozanov has never said no to him before. He doesn’t start now.It’s practical.
It’s actually smart.They already spend all their time together.
They already share a bed.
It’s just practice.
Even if it happens every night.
Even if it keeps.. escalating.As Shane and Rose continue their relationship, it makes sense to practice each step.
With people they trust.
(Even if those people don’t have the correct body parts for it to make sense.)This is normal.
They are absolutely not gay.
This is just practice.
Ilya is exactly where he wants to be.Or:
Shane Hollander practices kissing with his childhood best friend to be a better boyfriend.
It works so well that they keep practicing.
Every new step.
Every base.
Shane and Rose think this is a normal system.

Summary
“I’m not going to ask Hayden if he can fuck me just so I can be a normal person.”
“So you want to get fucked.”
“Obviously, I do, don’t I?” Shane mutters, glancing down at his own crotch. He feels Rozanov do the same, so his face burns and his hand takes on a life of its own, punching the man in the chest. “Stop that.”
“Hey, I just want to help,” Rozanov replies. Suddenly, Shane notices how close they are and forces himself to take a step back. “It’s not that complicated. You just want to fuck, so do it. Practice. Easy.”
He has to learn from the best, right? Shane doesn't do things halfway. If he's going to lose his virginity, he's going to learn to do it with all the necessary nuances that Rozanov's promiscuous experience can offer.
"Okay," Shane exhales, and immediately blushes. "I'll do it. Are you free tomorrow at seven?"

Summary
“I have a surprise for you all, if you’ve been good boys and girls.” Ariana gestured across the lawn, where pink X-shaped crosses now dotted the landscape. Handcuffs dangled from the top of each.
“Two, if we’re being technical. Islanders, please welcome our new bombshells! They will be giving you a very warm welcome. If you’re chosen, that is. Have fun…”Shane's wrists pulled against his restraints, heart thudding. A finger ran over his lips, shushing him. Then two hands appeared, tracing his body, warm and firm over his exposed skin. Shane panted, dizzy and delirious. Through the haze, he started smiling. He was straight. He was actually straight. Irrefutably hard as hell for some sexy new bombshell.
A hand traced Shane’s jaw, almost tender, and their hips pressed together again for just a moment. Shane’s mind stuttered, his own hardness meeting…something else.
Warm breath wafted into his ear. “I will give you some time to ah, calm down, yes?”
Shane jerked back, hitting his head against the cross with a loud curse.
The voice was Russian. Vaguely familiar. And unmistakably male.~shane goes on love island. ilya enters as a bombshell. gay chaos ensures. ~

the hollanov love island au
I appreciate not everyone watches love island, so I’ll try and explain it as best as I can as we go
featuring my favourite sassy shane and you’re lucky we’re in public right now ilya combo
in this universe, love island is r rated and contestants can in fact sleep together on camera - if anyone is from the UK and has watched open house on channel 4, that’s where I’m going with this
open house: a VERY spicy reality tv show in which the participants very much do have sex on camera
anyway *clears throat*: this programme contains strong language, and scenes of a sexual nature
thank you for being here !!
