Summary
“I was afraid this might be what you were hiding.”
Ilya swallows hard. “Afraid?”
“I knew it wouldn’t be something bad,” Shane says. “But I was starting to get scared it was something really, really sad instead.”
Or: Ilya survives a suicide attempt as a teenager and spends the rest of his life hiding the scars. Everyone assumes, incorrectly, they know what he’s hiding. Until Shane.

Summary
“You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.
“I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”
He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.
When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.
(the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)
(or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)

Summary
Because, here's the thing. Ilya isn't actually jealous. Jealousy implies that there's a potential for Shane to be swept away by one of these random suitors. It means that there's an underlying fear that Shane will choose someone else over Ilya. And aside from the occasional depressive spiral that can lead Ilya to those thoughts — though that rarely happens after so many years of marriage — he knows that Shane would choose him over everyone. He trusts that Shane loves him just as much as he loves Shane.
Ilya knows there's no chance in hell that a random man flirting with Shane in a pet store would be enough to turn his head.
But what Ilya is, is fucking possessive.
-or, people keep flirting with Ilya's husband. He has feelings about it.

Summary
"So what?" Shane huffs. "I start dating some random guy and bring him to my ex's wedding? That's so weird."
"Or you find perfect, fake boyfriend who will act like total asshole to Matt."
Shane snorts. But then he stops laughing.
It's not… the worst idea. It's kind of a bad one. And chances are Matt is happily involved with whoever this Ian guy is, so he won't even care. Shane would have to find a fake boyfriend that's either so unworldly perfect, everyone in the room will be jealous; or someone who has a special talent for pissing people off.
Shane sits up, his eyes finding Ilya's.
"What if I bring you?"
- or, Shane needs a date for his ex's wedding, and who better to bring than his best friend, Ilya? (You know, the one who is secretly in love with Shane.)
