Summary
I love you… I was going to tell you I love you.
The tears were dripping down Ilya’s chin, silent and unbidden.
It couldn’t end like this. He was going to go to Shane’s hotel room, to drink him in one last time and ask what had been bubbling up inside him ever since being left broken on that couch:
“Tell me you don’t love me, Shane. Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t love me and I’ll go. I’ll walk away and never bother you again. But first I need you to say it, so look me in the eyes and tell me that you don’t love me like I love you.”
Tuna melt AU where Ilya is left ruined in the wake of Shane leaving, but decides to seek further closure, going to his hotel room to return his jacket. They end up sharing years of bottled-up emotions and embrace a tenderness they previously feared.
