   Summary

   “I might be busy having sex with Troy,” Ilya said tightly.

   Ilya makes a joke about having sex with Troy. What he doesn't know is how deeply the joke hurt Shane. Two days and many unanswered calls later, they finally talk. And Ilya learns how much Shane has been silently carrying all these years.

   "Would you even choose me, Shane?"

   "I already chose you, Ilya."

   Or: Shane crashes out after years of stupid jokes about his diet, homophobic slurs thrown at him, racist environment, and one unfortunate joke about Troy Barrett.
