    Summary

    “Is this for you?”
    Shane thought he had heard some type of accent on his voice before, and this time he could really tell, especially with the 'r' sound.
    “Yes,” he said with confidence, for Cher.
    “So you like pop?”
    It was impossible to assume his tone, if he was trying to mock him or if his question was of genuine interest. He paid attention to his sleeveless t-shirt with a band image printed on it, something named “Ministry”, and by the looks of it, probably related to metal. What a shame that this extremely attractive looking man with a sexy foreign accent was going to turn out to be the most annoying and pretentious 'name three songs' type of guy.

    Or

    Shane is a pop boy who enters a record store to buy an album and ends up captivated by the hot (presumably metalhead) employee.

    Summary

    “But I know a little sewing,” Ilya insists. “Not as good as my babushka, but if we—“

    “Just fucking leave it.” Shane whirls, and the mask of his face finally cracks open, shards of cold fury flying with the spittle from his lips. “My pants broke because I’m too fucking fat for them, okay? There’s no fixing that.”

    Summary

    “That’s not-” Shane starts, but he stops himself. Ilya tilts his head slightly in question, but Shane bites the inside of his cheek and then shakes his head slightly, cheeks flushing. “I do trust you,” Shane says.

    “But not with your car?” Ilya asks. “You are afraid I will drive all the boring out of it?”

    Shane rolls his eyes.

    “It’s a good car-” He starts in another refrain of one of his favorite summer songs.

    Ilya rolls them and pins his boyfriend under him before he has to hear about four wheel drive and gas mileage again.

    There are far better uses for Shane’s mouth, after all.

    Summary

    “I have life before you,” Ilya said carefully. “Not boring life. Loud. Always something. People talking, calling, needing... Then you. You are different.”

    "Different how."

    "Slow."

    Shane laughed. "I don't think that means what you think it means."

    "It means slow," Ilya insisted. "You are slow. Not fast. English language is your first, Hollander."

    *******

    Shane and Ilya at the cottage.
