    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.

    He just hadn’t known it would feel like this.

    Summary

    “How many times do I have to tell you I don’t fuck humans?” Shane asked.

    “Until I listen, probably,” Ilya answered.

    “Is that going to be many more, or…?”

    Shane trailed off and Ilya didn’t answer right away, just let his eyes slide slowly up the other man and enjoyed the view. When he was finished, Shane was watching, waiting, narrowed eyes black in the darkness.

    “Is probably going to be a whole lot of times,” he finally said. “Do you want to start now, or are you going to come flirt with me again tomorrow?”

    -------

    The one where Shane is a vampire, Ilya's a bartender, it's wintertime in New York City, and someone's on a murder spree.

    Summary

    “Okay, so you’ve got the yips.” Shane’s delightfully one-track mind came with the tendency to wear out sports metaphors. “Like… sex yips. Maybe we try another play.”
