Summary
Finished tying his shoes, and seemingly not expecting a response, Shane gets to his feet. At the door he pauses, looking back at Ilya, that shy, almost-smile that Ilya could draw from memory on his face. If Ilya had a heart, it would ache with how beautiful Shane always is, especially when he’s walking out the door.
“See you next year?” Shane asks, mostly succeeding at not sounding hopeful.
Ilya closes his eyes. It’s his lot in life to let Shane Hollander go, over and over. That’s the price of getting to have him at all. Even if just for one night, Ilya is willing to pay it.
“We’ll see, Hollander,” he says. He doesn’t open his eyes until he hears the click of the door as Shane pulls it shut behind him.—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for the olds/elder millenials who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
