    Summary

    “Er, hello, I am, ah, Ilya.” He manages to say, letting a grin form on his lips when he realizes he didn’t mess up his words and say something wrong. He looks at the other boy, waiting for him to say something until a second passes. The smile on his lips slowly fades as he tilts his head, a deep pit forming in his stomach. “Это было плохое решение. Мне не следовало с ним разговаривать. Он, наверное, услышал от других детей, что я плохо говорю по-английски.”— his brain uselessly supplies.

    He almost tries to run away before the boy pulls a piece of paper from the pocket of his shorts. He scribbles something on the paper before shakily getting up and giving it to him.

    ‘Hi, I’m Shane.’ The paper reads, Ilya blinks, he wonders why the boy— Shane— won’t speak but he isn’t going to ask him about it. Maybe he just doesn’t like speaking. He can’t blame him. Instead, he nods his head, hands the paper back and smiles at him, “Shane. That is nice name. Very Canadian.” He jokes and Shane sheepishly nods his head, a small smile curling on his lips.

    OR

    After moving to Canada, Ilya struggles to learn and speak English. He becomes friends with Shane Hollander who does not speak at all.

    Summary

    Technically, he would never have downloaded a dating app if it hadn’t been for his friend, Cliff. He was proudly showing him the women he was texting, Explaining all the filters, settings, and stupid little features the app had.

    Ilya had only been half listening until Cliff mentioned that your profile could stay completely anonymous. Anonymous sounded very good.

    He downloaded the app later that night. Mostly out of curiosity, he tells himself, but maybe because the idea of finding a hot guy without anyone knowing about it suddenly sounded like a very good idea.

    Or

    Ilya downloads a dating app and out of every possible person, he matches with none other than Shane Hollander.
    But neither know who the other person is

    No matter the trope.
    No matter the universe.
    No matter the setup.
    They find each other.

    “What if I am boyfriend?” Ilya asked through a mouthful of noodles.

    “Huh?” Shane paused his nibbling on a piece of eggplant. The black bean sauce was outstanding.

    “I can be the boyfriend,” Ilya said. “When is the wedding?”  

    “February fourteenth.” Shane cringed.

    “That is so…. What is word, cliche?” Ilya clarified. Shane confirmed with a nod. “Fine, I will have time off then.”

    “I-I can’t ask you to do that,” Shane stammered.

    “Is not a big deal, Hollander, you need fake boyfriend and I get a trip to, where was it, Kauai?” Ilya grinned. “It would be nice to take a week off and enjoy the sun.”

    Shane thought about it for a moment. Actually, having Ilya there could be fun. And it would definitely get his family and friends off his back about him settling down.

    “Only if it’s not too inconvenient,” Shane said, picking at the sauteed pea shoots on his plate.

    “It will be fine. I am a great boyfriend,” Ilya said.

    They find each other.

    “Great, I just need some info from you.” Shane flipped to a new page in the order book and pulled out his favorite pen. “What’s your name?”

    The man tilted his head, smiling almost indulgently at him. Shane waited patiently, then smiled awkwardly when there was no name forthcoming. “You don’t know?” the man said.

    “Your name? No, I don’t– sorry, have we met before?” Shane asked, suddenly embarrassed. He didn't remember seeing this man in the shop before. Oh god, had they gone on a date and he forgot? It had been awhile since he went out with anyone, so it must have been quite a long time ago if that was the case. But Shane was sure he would remember someone who looked and sounded like that.

    The man’s smile widened. “I must just have one of those faces,” he said. “My name is Ilya.”
