    Summary

    What if Ilya answered the phone call from his brother when Shane was at his house. What if Shane could be there for him and how would it have changed their relationship moving forward?

    ------

     

    Shane didn’t hear from Ilya again for the rest of the day.  He had just crawled into bed, and was about to slip on his glasses on to read the book from his bedside table when his phone buzzed

    The message he found when he opened their thread was not what he expected

    Lily:  I think you packed wrong shirt by mistake.

    The photo was Ilya’s hands holding Shane’s white t-shirt.  He stared at the picture as heat rose to his cheeks, biting his lower lip as he tried to figure out what he should respond.  Before he could start typing another message appeared.

    Lily: This one is too small for me.

    Shane scowled, his embarrassment quickly turning to annoyance.

    Jane: It is not.  We are the same size.

    Lily: Uh, no.  We are not.  I am bigger than you.

    Jane: Asshole. You are not.

    Lily: You have seen me without shirt.  Do not pretend.

    Summary

    Remember when Hayden Pike punches Ilya after Shane said not to, right before the announcement of the Irina Foundation? Remember that that was the second time Hayden laid his hands on Ilya in the first month of knowing him?

    Or, Shane gets rightfully fed up after the first month of Hayden's behavior towards Ilya. Punching Ilya was the final straw, so he tells Hayden to pretend he never found out. It sets off a chain of events landing him, happily, in Ottawa a year earlier and with a better support system for both him and Ilya.
