Summary
It wasn't that Ilya'd never seen Shane sick before, or helped him through it. Well, maybe not in their early years. A younger Shane would probably die before letting Ilya notice he wasn't feeling well. Ilya wasn't much better, back then.
But being married and living in the same house (fucking finally) left little space for hiding things like that from each other. While Ilya was still working on letting Shane take care of him when hurting, old ghosts of his past slowly fading away against Shane's tender worrying, his husband was actually a pretty good patient. Aside from the hating-being-sick part, Shane mainly just got a little bossy and a lot clingy when not feeling good. He craved physical comfort in a way Ilya happily obliged.
It was just that he absolutely suffered through whatever illness he had, and Ilya had never seen him this sick before.
Or: Shane suffers at the hands of a suspicious chicken sandwich. Ilya suffers alongside him. He's somehow still incredibly perfect at taking care of him.
