Summary
Shane presses his face into Ilya’s sternum, his breathing as shaky as the pattering of Ilya’s own pulse. The buzz in Ilya's chest doesn’t recede as both of their heart rates slow. Instead, it envelops him completely, surrounding and devouring him all-consumingly just like the feel of Shane’s body did moments before - but not in a scary way.
It’s steady. Safe.
Home.
But that word isn’t quite right, Ilya decides, as he brushes his fingers over Shane’s freckles once more, permitting himself the gift of re-mapping their patterns despite Shane wrinkling his nose at the tickle of his touch.
It’s not so simple as ‘home.’ Not like a house. Not even like a safe resting place - though Shane certainly is one of those, and more.
But this newly discovered emotion Ilya’s seemingly unlocked as it relates to Shane is more intense than can be described by those simple English words. It’s something intrinsic, carnal. Biological, maybe.
Ilya’s origin point.
