    Part Three because Ilya needs a Good Dad and I have no chill...

    .

    If there’s ever been any doubt in his mind just how much Shane loves this man, it vanishes with the glossy blankness of Ilya’s expression. Blood from a stone indeed.

    “My father was very fair,” Ilya says immediately, and it’s got the rigid, almost mechanical emphasis of something practiced a thousand times. “If I was bad, I pay price. No problem.”

    “I think maybe we have a different definition of the word fair.”

    “Yes,” Ilya admits. “Probably. Shane thinks so.”

    Summary

    “Ilya,” he whispers. “I want this. I want to know when you’re hurting and when things are hard, because I want you. I want you when you’re sad, and lonely, and messy-“

    “-you hate mess,” Ilya teases, drawing a hard-earned smile out of Shane.

    “But I love you.

    Summary

    Eddie is sinking.

    Summary

    "Bobby sees so much of himself in him, in the way he carries loss so heavily on his shoulders, in the way guilt can so easily grip him tight and threaten to never let go, in the way that he had to grow up too fast.

    Bobby sees all this, and he thinks he can understand Eddie in a way no one else can. Sometimes, he sees Eddie get off a call with his parents, eyes tired and body dejected, and thinks let me help you, I can give you what they won't, but that's never quite been their relationship."
    -------------
    Eddie’s having a hard time after Christopher leaves to Texas, and Bobby just wants him to let him in, to let him help.
