    Summary

    You do not have to be good.
    You do not have to walk on your knees
    For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
    You only have to let the soft animal of your body
                Love what it loves

    -Mary Oliver
     
    Or, after years of struggling with an eating disorder, Shane literally and metaphorically spills his guts in front of Ilya.

    Summary

    It was supposed to be a simple hookup. Shane drives to Pittsburgh after a road game, texts Ilya, expects the usual. Instead Ilya opens the door looking like death and refuses to admit anything is wrong. Neither of them know how to handle this because this isn't what they do.

    He could be useful.

    He could help.

    If he cleaned it before his father got back, he—

    Ilya's safe. He's with someone who cares about him. They are alone in a cottage and no one (except Shane's parents) know where they are.

    So why is Ilya having a panic attack?

    Summary

    Maybe together they could figure out a way to make sure Ilya was never afraid of David again. He really didn’t want to be afraid of David.

    “Is… silly.” Ilya said. “Maybe not silly, but now that we are here and not there, I see it was silly. I broke the wine, and I thought - maybe everyone will be angry. And…” Clearing his throat, Ilya pushed past his discomfort to spit out the next part. “Well, angry back in Russia is not the same as angry here, I think.”

    “What was angry like back in Russia?”

    OR

    Ilya drops a bottle of wine, and it's fine. Really, it's fine. If only someone could tell Ilya's brain that.
