    Summary

    “Unlock the door, Hollander.”

    Even though Shane couldn’t hear the exact words, he knew what Ilya said. He shook his head.

    “Unlock the door, or I will break the glass. Your choice.”

    Shane’s eyes widened again and he briefly hung his head as if regretting all of his past life decisions, and Ilya heard the resounding click of the unlock mechanism.

    He felt wild, his mind in violent turmoil as he threw open the door and his palm clutched the back of Shane’s head, his fingers finding purchase in the coarse hair. “Are you listening to me?” Shane ducked his head in acknowledgment. “I’m going to call off my driver. You will not move. I am going to sit there-“ he pointed at the empty passenger seat. “-in this boring car of yours and I am going to find out why the fuck you are alone and who the fuck made you cry.”

    *************************************************************

    Inspired by Shane’s confession in The Long Game (*mini-spoiler*) about his whereabouts after leaving a certain Montreal nightclub in January 2017, Ilya leaves the club shortly after Shane only to find him pulled over on the side of the road, devastated.

    Summary

    Hollander glanced down at his phone and smiled at whatever it was his girlfriend sent him. Then he looked up at Ilya again. “Anyway, wanna find out what we might have in common in room 1847 tonight?”

    Ilya was surprised at the forwardness, especially with Hollander’s girlfriend’s text still on his screen. But Ilya’s heart and head was jumping up and down in glee.

    Or, Ilya is 100% ready to be the other woman.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov was about to commit a murder-suicide. Or at least, he felt very close to committing a murder-suicide. It didn’t make sense for him to feel this way. It didn't make sense for him to feel so… possessive over someone who wasn’t his, and yet the jealousy spread from his heart, all over his chest, down to his fingertips and toes, until there was not much he could see behind the green in his eyes. His gaze was furiously and singularly trained on Shane Hollander and whoever it was trailing his fingers up and down Shane’s forearm. He felt sick, physically sick. His fingers tightened around his glass of refilled vodka, willing the cold of it to somehow jerk him out of this stupor.

    Or, Ilya gets jealous over Shane's new friend.

    Summary

    “What are you doing in my bed, Rozanov?” Ilya bited him harder, his disapproval clear in his Russian mumbling. (...) “What does it look like I’m doing, Shane? I’m trying to get back to sleep. Do same.”

    "Where’s your girl from last night? Why didn’t you slept with her?”

     

    Or, Ilya needs to sleep and Ilya needs Shane.

    Summary

    Not noticing the slow shift until it became glaringly obvious was something that worried Shane. It spoke not just of Ilya's change in behaviour but of Shane's taking his partner for granted. And this brought on feelings of guilt and shame. He couldn't figure out what was happening, or what to do about it. Embarrassingly, did not know how to bring it up and talk about it as an adult.

    Ilya had somehow shrunk his presence at home.

    A quiet that enveloped them and was getting deeper by the day.
