    Summary

    "Okay." Ilya takes a deep breath, letting it out. He lays down, resting his head on a pillow, and lays the phone on his diaphragm after he puts it on speaker. He hums, thinking. "Do you like chai actually? Or your, uh— friend, he decides for you?"

    There's a long, long silence after that. Ilya swallows, hoping he hadn't asked the wrong thing. He went on a limb, in a way, because that's what Ilya always does. He assumes things, and butts in where he probably shouldn't and gives boys who look like they're emotionally one foot in the grave notes with his number on it. For some reason.

    "No, he doesn’t." Shane says, eventually, and all Ilya's muscles un-tense. "I do really like chai. Caramel chai, mostly, if wherever I go has it."

    "This can be arranged." Ilya says, his hands behind his head. "I am very good barista."

    Shane snorts, then. Ilya makes it his goal to get him to laugh, and he'd say he's making pretty good progress so far.

     

    Or, Shane is in a severely abusive relationship with his boyfriend, Ash. When they visit a nearby café one day, their server, Ilya, realizes something isn’t quite right between them.

    Ilya can’t help but try and do something about it.

    Summary

    “Okay but,” Ilya doesn’t know where he’s going with this “but what is it? What is wrong?”

    “I wish I had a better answer for you.” She takes a deep breath before she continues and again, Ilya can tell she really does feel bad. “I can tell you a lot of people have one seizure and it just… never happens again. His trauma history complicates that a bit, but we have more tests to do over the next few days that’ll paint a bigger picture.”

    Summary

    Yuna has been worried about Shane since the day she found out she was pregnant. He was quiet, prefered to play by himself or try to bribe stray cats into his arms to take home. Always alone.
    Shane wasn't like other children, she knew that. He was special in many ways, but seeing him by himself all the time hurt the large part of her that new no matter what he did, he would be an outcast. All she wanted was for her baby to have an easy time in this world, have someone to look out for him.

    A friend. God, all she wanted was for Shane was for him to have a friend, and with every birthday or missed milestone she grew more and more worried it wouldn't happen. Not without help.

    Then the Rozanovs' moved into the house next door.
