    Summary

    Loud beeps from his phone startled Ilya, and he slowed down, reaching for the device he’d put on the bar between his legs. Jane. He smiled to himself when he saw the notifications, and, checking Marlowe was absorbed in his own fitness, opened it quickly, smiling in anticipation of Shane's words.

    The smile was wiped off his face almost instantly.

    The blood drained from his face, and Ilya felt like the bottom had just fallen out of his world.

    *****

    Maybe he was naive, but Ilya always thought he had time. Time with Shane. Time to tell him what he truly meant to him.

    That, somehow, one way or another, Shane would always be there.

    But a text message late one night threatens to destroy the future that Ilya has spent the time carefully constructing in his mind.

    Maybe Shane wasn't always going to be there. That Shane would be cruelly snatched away from him before he had a chance to be honest.

    That he would be left behind. Alone.

    Summary

    It hits her then, how well Ilya must know her son. That he gets Shane and supports him. It can’t have been an easy thing, walking into what could have been the lion’s den after getting caught by his boyfriend’s father. He did it anyway – for Shane. His love for Shane is written all over his face.

    Since their rookie year.

    Shane has had this, Ilya – though she tries not to think too hard about the details – for nine years!

    She and David have been so worried that Shane might be lonely. He’s always found it difficult to connect with people, didn’t have a lot of friends as a kid.

    He’s not lonely though; he has Ilya. For that, she thinks she might love Ilya, just a little.

    5 times Yuna loves Ilya, and one time she tells Shane why

    Or

    an ode to love, and Yuna Hollander

    Summary

    Buck’s life might not be what he imagined it to be while he grew up. But it doesn’t matter, because he has his beautiful baby girl and she means everything to him. But then someone from his past reemerges, and it stirs up feelings he’s tried to bury for years.

    ----

    His dark hair is tussled around his head, sweaty from the helmet and probably a bit longer than it’s supposed to be, and his jaw is shadowed with stubble. In the fifteen years since Buck last saw him the boy he once knew has turned into a man, and Buck swallows to dampen his suddenly dry throat.
    “Eddie.” He whispers hoarsely and the man blinks, once, twice before he hesitantly leans forward, like he’s about to step closer.

    Summary

    “It’s,” he swallowed. “It’s complicated, and I don’t know how you’ll react.” 

     “Just spit it out, Nick,” Tara rolled her eyes. “Whatever it is, it can’t be that bad.” 

    “Okay.” Nick swallowed, face tightening into a grimace, as he glanced between his two friends. “I think I’m homophobic.” 

     

    Based on that one reddit post of the guy who thought he was being homophobic when his gay roommate brought home hookups, but actually, he was just jealous.
