    Summary

    When Shane first arrives, he is twenty-something again, tired down to the soul because he’s used it to the fullest this time. It comes back to him in increments, his history and present circumstances, because he’s not even aware he’s sitting on a park bench at first, overlooking a sky at near-dusk. He blinks into it, smiling like a dope, before remembering, right, I’ve died. It’s a matter-of-fact to him, maybe more than it should be, since he knows there will be a new life for him, waiting in the morning.

    On the verge of reincarnation, Shane remembers Ilya all over again.

    Summary

    Troy made an L-shape with his index finger and thumb, like suddenly he was a movie director and Ilya was his newest muse. “You’re like one of those rom-com heartthrobs. Harris and I watched one the other night, where this campus bad boy is actually a huge nerd. You know, secretly pounding textbooks in the library.”

    “Yes, exactly!” Wyatt said. “You’re like the opposite of the girl that takes off her glasses in a movie and everyone realizes she’s hot. You put them on, for that effect.”

    Ilya looked mildly offended. “Oh, so you did not think I was hot before?”

    “Eh, on paper, I guess.”

    “On paper,” Ilya repeated back, grimacing. “Like taxes? You think I am as interesting as doing your fucking taxes?”

    The world goes crazy over Ilya in glasses, and Shane tries to deal.

    Summary

    Shane felt it wasn’t jealousy, or not in some killing way, at least. By now he knew he had Ilya by the soul. It was just annoying that Troy may have had some context surrounding Ilya that Shane didn’t, as if some crack in his knowledge could amount to a gulf he hadn’t crossed yet.

    Or, there are things Troy knows about Ilya that Shane doesn’t. Shane navigates this territory with some trepidation.

    Summary

    "Rose and I are friends. Actual friends," Shane explained. "I don’t think she has a lot of close friends either. And she is the only friend who knows, like, all of me, other than…”

    “Other than who?” Ilya asked as Shane trailed off.

    “Other than you, Ilya.”

    “Is that what we are?” Ilya said, tone trying to be flippant, but missing the mark. “Friends?”

    “I would like to think that friendship is a part of it, yeah."

    or

    what happens when you tell your friends you are in love with your secret seven year situationship.
