    Summary

    Drunkenly, Hayden had confessed that he wished they'd gotten along sooner and Shane had turned his big, brown Bambi eyes at him in full force, and said he'd thought they always had.

    He must've made a face because Shane had rushed to assure that, either way, Hayden had never treated him like the others did and neither of them had the words for it but they both knew what he meant.

    They'd ended up crying about the power of friendship or something equally moronic because Ruby and Jade were on a My Little Pony kick and alcohol made them emotional.

    Summary

    Shane expects varying levels of… resistance, when it comes to Ilya settling into his life. His family, his friends, his teammates; everyone comes with their own set of risks and volatilities.

    So Shane knows that each new social interaction introducing Ilya as his boyfriend will need to be executed deliberately. Step by step.

    He needs a foolproof plan to make sure they can win people over.

    -
    OR: five times that Shane tries to make it easy for people to accept Ilya (and the one time he realises they always would have).
