“You know, one day you’re gonna meet someone you love so much you’ll want to toss all your stupid rules out the window just to be around them,” Jessica told him the day they broke up.
God, Shane remembers thinking. I fucking hope not.

Summary
Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.
He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...
The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.
He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

Summary
“Go?” Rozanov repeats, and Shane thinks he manages to nod, thinks he manages to spin some kind of excuse that he knows Rozanov doesn’t really buy, but he needs to go. He needs to get out of here. He needs to find somewhere quiet and calm where he can ride out this panic and painful tightness until he can catch his breath again. He needs-
He needs to go.
“I’m sorry,” he says, turning heel and resisting the urge to just book it right for the front door only because he’d rather not have to explain to Hayden why he returned from a hookup with Boston Lily in men’s clothes that he certainly didn’t leave in.
It’s not until he makes it halfway up the stairs to Rozanov’s bedroom that it occurs to him in a cold rush that it isn’t just anxiety that makes it this hard to breathe.
“No,” he tells himself firmly, white knuckling the bannister and trying to take a deep breath just to prove that he can.
It wheezes.

Summary
It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.
But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.

Summary
He starts rummaging around in a drawer until he pulls out a small Ziploc baggie filled with clipped paper rectangles of varying sizes and flips through them, selecting a couple before walking over to Shane and presenting the offering.
Shane takes them because what the fuck else is he supposed to do? “Fifty percent off of butt-blasters?!”
“It is very good deal for those,” Ilya says seriously, as if he can’t see the vein starting to pulse lightly on the side of Shane’s neck.
Shane flips over the second coupon. “Flash sale for those who like - sounding?” He frowns. “What the fuck is that, like a sexy - instrument? A recorder?”
Ilya barks out a laugh. “Hollander. You are joking? A - sexy recorder?”
“Another name for dick is ‘skin flute,’” Shane says miserably. “Remember, I googled.”
“Okay, well - sex shop is not advertising sale on skin flutes, you pervert. Sounding is - actually, why don’t you go and find out. Can be your homework, while I am at practice,” Ilya says with a wink. “And if you decide you want to try, you have coupon for what we need. Perfect way to kill time.”
Shane may just kill him.
