Summary
Shane stilled on the bed behind him, folding his body up to get his legs beneath him, expecting Ilya to stand and leave the room as he had the last time he’d gotten a call from his family. He was surprised when he didn’t, and instead stayed perched on the edge of the bed, his one hand clutching the phone to his face, the other planted firmly on the bed beside him.
Swallowing, Shane let his fingers trace along the edge of the sheet, keeping them occupied instead reaching out to sooth the tension that filled Ilya’s shoulders as he hunched over, listening to the harsh voice through the phone.
While he didn’t understand what was being said, Shane noticed the immediate change in Ilya’s posture. His body stilled, back straightening as he listened to his brother.
It was small, but Shane saw it. The quick stutter of his breath, the way his shoulders hitched up and then sunk as if the air had been stolen from his lungs.
Or
What if Ilya answered the phone call from his brother when Shane was at his house. What if Shane could be there for him and how would it have changed their relationship moving forward?
