    Summary

    “You greet me in Russian?” the boy finally said.

    “Yes! I, um, I called the dormitory director in June and convinced her to tell me where my roommate was from and-" Shane was cut off when the boy stood and started making his way towards him. Suddenly, Shane was wrapped in a hug. The taller boy, only by an inch or two, ducked his head to rest on Shane’s shoulder.

    They stayed like for another few seconds before, to Shane’s surprising disappointment, the boy pulled away. He looked down at Shane and held out his hand. Shane stared at the wide palm in front of him before taking it and shaking.

    “Thank you.” The boy said, barely above a whisper, “I am Ilya.”

    Shane smiled at him again, “I am Shane” he replied, and for the first time in a long time, Shane felt himself take a long and steady breath of fresh air.

    or

    Shane and Ilya meet at boarding school in Canada in 2003. They would die for each other, they are best friends. Everyone else seems to see what neither one of them can, which is that they are totally in love with one another and are both just too stubborn to admit it out loud.
