   Summary

   Sometimes, Shane didn’t like to be touched. 

   It wasn’t the biggest thing in the world, and it was a quirk that was generally unproblematic enough for it to be conflated into anything bigger than just a personality trait. In fact, it made sense for Shane, given his slightly aloof and shy nature. He wasn’t the best at communication, so it wasn’t the craziest thing in the world that he was like this. He knew his team noticed and he knew his friends noticed, but it didn’t really mean anything. Shane just didn’t like to be touched and he didn’t like it when people came near him. It was as simple as that. 

   ***

   Alternatively, someone from Shane's early training days comes back to haunt him.
