   Summary

   “I feel fine.”

   Fine, fine, fine, fine. Shane can’t seem to stop using that word today.

   Ilya hums,

   “Good. I am glad to hear this. I never want you to feel bad.”

   They’re both talking around the same thing without actually talking about it. Shane’s stomach is in knots. He wants to lay himself at Ilya’s feet and beg:

   Just make me do it. Tell me I have no choice. You know I want to. You know me.

   (or: shane knows what he wants. it's the asking and letting himself have it that's the hard part.)
