    Summary

    When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.

    Summary

    Hayden thought, sometimes, about Shane’s smile. About those few times he had been able to make Shane burst out laughing. He thought about when Shane had felt like his person. But Shane wasn’t his. He guessed Shane had never really been his at all. But that was okay. That was okay.

    Hayden Pike was okay, he was almost sure of it.

    ---

    In which Hayden Pike is a bit in love with his captain and best friend, Shane Hollander, he just doesn't quite realize it.

    Summary

    They’d considered it—Shane being gay. It’d been an option. But Ilya Rozanov and the way Shane looks at him like he’s the love of his life has blindsided them. Blindsided both of them, and there’s almost nothing Yuna likes less than being blindsided. 

    She’s not mad, David wants to say. We’re so proud of you. We’re so happy for you. We just didn’t know. 

    Somehow we missed it, you falling in love.

     

    or, what David Hollander and Ilya Rozanov talk about while Shane and Yuna are outside in episode six.
