    Summary

    Scott watched as Hollander leaned in, further, to hear Rozanov. This was the part that didn’t entirely make sense to him. The missing piece of something that felt like it was just beyond his reach. This was quiet ease and small moments of comfort and a look that makes the rest of the world fade away. This was how he felt with Kip.

    Scott stilled.

    It was as if someone had whispered it in his ear. It was as if the final piece of this insane, deranged puzzle finally clicked into place. His heart was pounding in his ears. He was probably wrong. In fact he was entirely wrong. This wasn’t like him and Kip. It couldn’t be Kip. Scott had been watching too many romantic comedies. His head was in the clouds.

    But they weren’t touching.

    Hollander and Rozanov were as close as they could be, without laying a single finger on one another. They were specifically, rigidly, separate. The warmth between them was bridled. Entirely. And this, Scott realized, his heart sinking into the floor, was also how he had felt with Kip.

    Oh. Oh fuck.

    Summary

    “We figure a lot of it is going to be old junk,” Shane admitted. “But, apparently, this is the last of Ilya’s dad’s things from the old house. So, at least there won’t be more coming after this.”

    Yuna pressed an open palm to her chest sweetly. “Aww. That must be very emotional for you, Ilya.”

    Her Russian son’s face flattened, and he sucked his teeth. “Not really. Just one more chore my brother is pawning off on me, really.”

    “Oh come on,” she tisked. “There could be all kinds of old memories and family keepsakes in there you might want!”

    “Doubt it.”

    - OR -

    Some old home videos from Russia arrive, and the Hollanders get to see firsthand why Ilya doesn't like to talk about his childhood.

    Summary

    “You are sooo boring,” Shane whines again. “Wanna hear something not boring?” He attempts to wiggle his eyebrows at him, but he only manages a weird half arch on one of them. Hayden would think it’s kind of adorable, if it wasn’t for the topic of conversation at hand.

    “No, I don’t,” and Hayden prays inside his head for Shane to actually not tell him anything else.

    God (and Shane) ignore his pleas.

    “He fucks me so good after he wins a game. But he fucks me even better after I win”.

    Or

    The Dentist!Fic in which Shane gets high off the anesthesia from getting his wisdom teeth removed and tells poor Hayden all about his and Ilya’s sex life.

    Summary

    “But we have always kissed, we -”

    “I know.” Shane says, face blushing crimson. “But like I said, I don’t want to do that anymore. We can still see each other, because I like what we do, but we have to keep that part out of it. Please.”

    Ilya breathes in and out. He tries to be rational. Shane’s requesting that something change in their arrangement. It should be a simple answer. Yes. Of course. If that’s a boundary he wants to set, then Ilya should obey it.

    But the feeling of loss is so overwhelming he can barely stomach it.

    or, after Vegas, Shane doesn't let Ilya kiss him anymore when they hook up. Ilya doesn't take it very well.

    Summary

    "What is your problem?" Shane demanded, his voice sounding thinner than he liked, laced with the exhaustion of the night. "I gave up our bedroom and the guest room and now you're here".

    He heard the rustle of fabric as Ilya settled onto the far end of the couch, claiming his territory with his infuriating, unspoken intensity.

    "We sleep in same place no matter what," Ilya murmured, the low, steady vibration of his voice hitting Shane somewhere deep. "So stay put or I follow you around home".
