    Summary

    "I don't know, I only just noticed, I didn't—"

    "We would've heard if it fell on the dock, right? The clunk?"

    Shane's heart broke a little, because it meant Ilya had finally come to the same realization as him.

    The crucifix was in the water.

    Ilya’s chain breaks without him noticing. Shane comes to the rescue.

    Summary

    Shane thought about it, a lot more than he should've. And it showed. It showed in the way he'd begged Ilya to sell his Ducati the summer they got married. It showed in the number of times he'd had to calm his racing mind when Ilya took twenty minutes longer than expected at the grocery store.

    It showed in his heaving breaths, now. He was sitting up in his bed, his husband sleeping peacefully next to him, and he felt like he was on the edge of a panic attack.

    The plane didn't crash, and Ilya didn't die.

    Shane still feels the aftershocks.

    Summary

    Someone asked Rozanov a question that June missed because of her wandering eye. She chastized herself. What was the point of a journalist who didn't actually take note of what was being said?

    "Our strategy has been to focus on fundamentals. Without Hollander on the second line, it—oh, hi, Sonya."

    June's ears perked up. Sonya? Rozanov leaned down behind the table as if he'd dropped something, and when he came back up, it was with a little girl June recognized as Sofia Hollander-Rozanov. Rozanov got her settled in his lap, kissed her cheek, and looked out to the room.

    June's a small-time sports journalist at a small-time publication, frustrated with what she's assigned to cover. She's expecting another dry post-game press conference from Ilya Rozanov... and then something unexpected happens.

    Summary

    "There will be a pinch. Remember when you were two months old, and four months old, and you had to get shots? It will be like that."

    Sonya didn't respond. She probably was feeling betrayed.

    "It only hurts for a little bit," Ilya said. "And then you will get a little bit stronger, because of it."

    Sonya looked up at him with her big, brown eyes, seemingly unconvinced. She was adopted, but Ilya could've sworn she'd gotten her eyes from Shane. At the minimum, he must have at least taught her how to use them to tug at Ilya's heartstrings.

    "I will get you something sweet after, if you are brave."

    Ilya takes his and Shane's six-month-old daughter to the pediatrician for a checkup and vaccines.

    Summary

    Christ. All he wanted to do tonight was curl up with Jackie on the couch but somehow he was instead looking down the barrel of a night at Rozanov’s.

    Though… an evening of just him and Shane did sound really nice. Like how it used to be, back when Lily was just a mysterious girl in Shane’s phone, so far removed from anything real and tangible.

    “You sure he wouldn’t mind?” Hayden asked. Not that he really cared if Rozanov minded, but it was the polite thing to inquire.

    Besides, now Hayden was kind of curious to see the hole in which Rozanov inhabited. Maybe there’d be primitive cave drawings on the walls.

    ----
    or; hayden finds himself at ilya rozanov's for the night with shane, sans ilya. with every physical memento around the house and every trace of shane in the corners, it's abundantly clear that his best friend is disgustingly and all-consumingly loved by his boyfriend. hayden finally understands too just why shane loves him right back.
