    Summary

    Kyle Swift just wants to give Eric Bennett the experience he never had - fun, safe sex with a man, without all the drama that comes with casual dating. He’ll teach Eric important lessons that Kyle wishes he’d learned sooner, things that he can bring into a real relationship once he feels more confident. A relationship with someone more appropriate. And Kyle knows that as soon as he tells Eric about the worst mistake of his life, their trust would be broken, and he would lose the only thing that has brought any warmth into his life this winter.

    So he doesn’t bring it up until late February, when he’s started falling in love and it’s feeling more and more like he’s been lying. And Eric has been falling hard too, so in this version of the story, he’s determined to find a way to navigate through the murky waters of Kyle’s trauma, emotional transference, and Eric’s own insecurities, to a healthy relationship that they don’t feel the need to hide.

    Then they proudly reopen The Kingfisher together, and on opening night Kyle has an interaction with the newly outed Hollanov that teaches Ilya a thing or two about boundaries, and helps Shane feel a little more comfortable in a queer space.

    Summary

    And he would've been happy, really, to have set it aside completely. Well, maybe not completely.

    But it could've been one of those scenarios that stayed in his head and was useful for when they hadn't seen each other in weeks and Shane was driven to using his dildo and trying desperately to replicate the motions that were really awkward to perform on yourself, actually. It could've been something to drive him over the edge, quickly, right when he needed it, in the privacy of his own mind.

    Ilya using Shane for his own pleasure, no matter what they were doing. Ilya getting what he needed from the interaction and then just stopping, sated. And that would've been fine, because then they wouldn't have had to address it, and Shane could've felt mildly guilty for having such odd desires, but he was used to being strange, strange and aware of it, always. So, fine.

     

    Or: Shane wants something he feels he definitely shouldn't; Ilya is highly enthusiastic about the prospect of his boyfriend being into free use. Over time, they figure it out.

    Summary

    Ilya's still revelling in the final aftershocks of pleasure, milking it, fucking his cum as deep into Shane as biology's restrictions allow him, when he notices it—the helpless, tiny bucks of Shane's hips.

    He watches them work, enthralled. Then lays his hands on them, feels the movement until it stutters to a halt, like Shane finally realises he's doing something he's not supposed to.

    or, Ilya sees Shane hump the bed, gets ridiculously fixated on it and then gets fucked about it too
