Summary
Set during and after episode six.
Ilya goes with Shane to Yuna and David’s house expecting discomfort, tension, and restraint. Instead, he finds warmth, awkward honesty, and something he never thought he’d be offered so easily: acceptance.
"To be looked at fully. To be recognised. And to be loved anyway."
A fic about being chosen, being seen, and the quiet certainty of knowing where you belong. With him.
