    Summary

    Growing up, Ilya had learned that wanting things made him a burden. Shane had made it his personal mission to prove the exact opposite. So yes, technically Ilya could buy anything he wanted. But he rarely got the opportunity.
    Because somehow, impossibly, Shane always got there first.

    Or

    Ilya Rozanov is Spoiled and Pampered by his husband.

    Summary

    Ilya had dismissed the feeling out of hand, except he has now just spent half an hour in the bicycle shop considering the difference between 190 gsm and 250 gsm merino wool and which would best keep Shane warm while wicking sweat during his morning commutes.

    This is yet another thing Ilya has never done before. The only person whose sweat he has ever contemplated the wicking of has been himself.

    Summary

    “I was,” Ilya waves at the clothes, flushing pink. “Cutting tags.” 

    It’s Shane’s turn to blink at him. “Tags?” 

    “Yes,” Ilya says, rubbing his nose. God, it’s unfair how good he looks—wearing Shane’s old hoodie, curls flopping over his forehead and blushing pink. “Did not think you would come back so early. I was going to finish and put them all back before you noticed.” 

    Shane stares at him. “Why?” he asks, soft. 

    “You don’t like them,” Ilya shrugs, like it’s simple. 

    Ilya’s cutting off the tags from his clothes because Shane doesn’t like them. Ilya, who in all the years Shane has known him, has never once seemed bothered by them. 

    “Yesterday,” Ilya explains, reaching over the bed and dropping the scissors on the bedside table, next to a pile of cut off tags. So many of them. “You were pulling at collar. Like this,” Ilya tugs at the collar of his own shirt, mirroring what Shane did for probably a millisecond yesterday.

    “You saw that?” Shane asks, awestruck. Fucking hell.

    Summary

    Shane was there when Ilya got the call, his arm heavy across Ilya's stomach, like even in sleep he could tell something was trying to take Ilya away from him.

    Summary

    Life feels so chaotic for Shane sometimes, with all the loud noises and the unwritten rules he’s expected to follow, even though no one ever taught them to him. It’s why the bookstore feels more like home to him than anywhere else in Boston. It doesn’t ask Shane to be anything other than himself. Doesn’t ask for any more than he can give.

    He can just exist here.

    Shane likes slow, likes taking his time. And Ilya - without saying or doing anything in particular - makes Shane feel like that’s okay. Like he isn’t doing anything wrong by standing still sometimes.

    (Or, Shane works in a bookstore, Ilya plays hockey, and they both go to the same college. They fall in love in every universe.)
