   Summary

   Ilya Rozanov likes blondes. This is a known fact. It makes things easier somehow—safer. Like math. Girls Ilya likes = blonde. Shane = not blonde. So Shane goes a little bit insane after seeing photos of Ilya on a date with a mystery brunette, and Ilya shows him why it's not an issue.

   Featuring: yearning, sex as character study, Shane Hollander's under-examined biracial Asian feelings, a little light dominance, and a conveniently placed bedroom mirror.
