Summary
Shane huffs out a breath, a faint, helpless smile pulling at his mouth. “I know.” His thumb brushes along Ilya’s cheek. “I just think this is taking a lot more out of me.”
“What is?” Ilya frowns, kissing the inside of Shane’s palm.
“This,” Shane says quietly, gesturing between them. “Keeping it a secret. I thought it would be easier. Just don’t talk about my love life, right? Avoid the questions. But it’s not like that. Every time something good happens, something funny, I think of you. I want to tell them about you. And every time I don’t, every time I hold that back, it hurts. And then I get angry, too, because no one else has to do this. No one else has to filter their life down to hotel rooms and fake names. I think what JJ said wasn’t really about him at all. It just reminded me that I can’t even brag about you.”
OR
After two blissful weeks at the cottage, Shane and Ilya return to their lives back in Boston and Montreal. As the season begins again, Shane is consumed by a loneliness so profound it pushes him to grasp at anything that might ease the pain.

Summary
“Great,” Ilya says. “Now I get disease from stupid fucking bug. Canada is hellscape.”
Shane rolls his eyes. “So does this mean you don’t want to strip naked with me and inspect each other for ticks?”
Ilya’s head jerks up comically fast. “Wait, wait. Naked?”
-
Or: Shane and Ilya go camping and check each other over for ticks. Because they're Shane and Ilya, this does not turn erotic at all.

Summary
“You okay?” Shane asks, dropping his t-shirt into the hamper.
Ilya doesn’t glance over. “Yes.” It’s firm and final. An obvious demand to drop it. And Shane might’ve… if Ilya wasn’t currently climbing into bed in a long-sleeved shirt. Shane stands by his side of the bed, watching Ilya like he’s never seen him before. In all of their years together, he’s never once seen Ilya sleep in a long-sleeved shirt aside from that night their heating unit broke, and they’d had to bundle up until it could be fixed in the morning. But that was three years ago, and it’s the beginning of spring right now. And Ilya runs warm.
“What?” Ilya asks, finally realizing that Shane isn’t getting into bed.
“Why are you wearing that?”
- or, Ilya hides an injury, and it's totally not a big deal (except it is to Shane)
