   Summary

   The room is dim, the only light coming in a faded glow through the windows, curtains sheer, but drawn.

   "I love you," Shane starts, "so much."

   "I love you too," Ilya says, repeating the words in Russian as he brings Shane's knuckles to his lips, sealing his words with a kiss. "I don't know if I can keep hiding."

   ---
   Shane and Ilya have the necessary talk about their struggles and how to move forward together. This is how their relationship progresses when comforted with the knowledge that they'd be supported by the people that matter most.

   An exploration of the little moments that make big decisions less scary.
