    Summary

    This is the real, honest truth of it: Shane has spent years navigating his own personal rules about touch, putting up barriers out of necessity, only for Ilya Rozanov to knock them down with ease. No one has ever touched Shane like he has. Shane has never wanted anyone to. But Ilya Rozanov—Shane wants him, in a way that’s new and terrifying. They’ve been as close as two people can possibly be, and still Shane wants more.

     
    or, Shane Hollander has a carefully controlled relationship with touch. Ilya Rozanov changes that.

    Summary

    The line connects and Shane is met with a chaotic jumble of noise. Loud music and voices 

    “Hello?”  

    “hmm, hello” 

    Shane freezes

    The voice is deep and familiar but there’s something different about it, something heavy and a bit slurred 

    “Rozanov? Are you—are you drunk right now?”

    Or: Shane sends a risky text, Ilya does not take it well

    Summary

    It’s like they’re in a fucked up game of relationship chicken now, increasingly doing things together that Shane can’t describe as anything other than domestic and romantic and boyfriend-like. They text constantly, detailing their days and sharing everything from complaints about teammates to jokes about other players in the league to the kind of quiet worries about family that don’t need to be responded to, just heard by another person.

    Or maybe it’s like Schroedinger’s cat. As long as Shane doesn’t ask, doesn’t speak out loud, he can have this. It can exist, and it cannot exist at the same time as long as Shane doesn’t press too hard. Doesn’t want too much.

    It feels increasingly like agony now that he’s realized that he loves Ilya.

    ...

    Tunameltdown AU where Ilya makes him tuna melts and says his name and Shane doesn’t freak out and run away. Well, he does freak out, but he also stays. Or the one where Shane doesn’t realize that Ilya’s his boyfriend for a solid three months.
