    ““I can’t breathe.” He whispered.

    They weren’t listening.

    Someone grabbed his shoulder. The spoke to him quietly. The voice was familiar. It offered apologies to the fans as he pushed Shane the rest of the way down the hallway and out the back door.

    “Hey, you okay?” He asked his best friend.

    “Something’s wrong.” Shane admitted. He was terrified.“

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is doing everything right.
    He’s doing better.
    At least, that’s what everyone says.
    Is this what getting better feels like?
    He doesn’t feel as much anymore.
    Not the bad. Not the good.
    Shane realizes he’s watching the man he loves slip away right in front of him,
    with a practiced smile on his face,
    and he’s terrified he won’t reach him in time.
    Or: Ilya gets everything he thought he needed to be okay, and loses himself somewhere along the way, while Shane is forced to watch.

    Summary

    His head swims; the edges of the room blur.
    He did it. He actually fucking did it. He’s dying here on this floor and Shane is going to–
    Think.
    There’s no one else he knows in Montreal, other than–
    No. Absolutely not. Pike hates him. Okay, tolerates him, for Shane’s sake. Barely.
    Which– maybe makes him perfect.

    OR

    It’s been thirteen days since Ilya started antidepressants, and if anything, he feels worse. He just has to make it to two weeks; the doctor said it could take two weeks. If he can just get to sleep, tomorrow will be better. But nothing can make him sleep, and he fucks up. All he can do now is make sure it’s not Shane who finds him.

    "I am in a staring contest with a bottle of pills," Ilya says. "And I think the pills might win."
