    Summary

    The Strand-Reyes house overflows with love: from the chaos of each morning, to the whispers between TK and Carlos, and the little tornado that has shaped a spot in each of their hearts. With Valentine's Day approaching, Carlos has special plans for his husband, while Jonah is on a mission of his own, determined to make sure a very special person doesn't feel alone. Love, after all, isn't just for sweethearts.

    ***

    Finally, when everyone’s in their seats and Lucas P. stops trying to balance his ruler on his finger, Mrs. Taylor closes the door. The room becomes quiet—the listening kind of quiet.

    “Okay, class,” she says with a smile. “Important question: does anyone know what tomorrow is?”

    Jonah’s brow wrinkles. Tomorrow is Saturday. Cartoon day. He shoots his hand into the air.

    “Elijah?” Mrs. Taylor calls.

    From two desks over, Elijah shouts, “It’s Valentine’s Day!”

    “Exactly!” Mrs. Taylor’s smile gets bigger.

    Jonah slowly lowers his hand. Oh. Right. He knew that.

    “And what is Valentine’s Day about?” Mrs. Taylor asks, her eyes sweeping the room.

    Jonah’s hand rockets up again, his whole body straining from his seat. He definitely knows this one.

    Summary

    “Hello, moya lyubov,” he said sweetly. “How is your head?”

    There was a pregnant pause where Shane must’ve stood there in shock, his mouth slightly agape as he lost the ability to use any of his bodily functions. Then Ilya moved to pull him into a hug, the physical contact shocking him back to reality. He pushed Ilya away from the door with his good hand, Ilya going along willingly, and closed the door as quietly as he could in his panic.

    “Ilya, what are you doing here?” Shane asked, his voice barely contained. “How did you even get this address, did you find it online somehow?”

    The softness in Ilya’s face morphed into a wicked grin, which didn’t make Shane feel any better.

    “I got address from your mother, silly,” Ilya replied, without a hint of irony or sarcasm.

    “My mother. You got. This address. From my mother.”

    ===

    A follow-up to "why do you hate him?". Shane doesn't remember much from his time in the hospital, which isn't helped when Ilya decides to surprise him at his parents' home. Shane knows he should be happy but...it's a shock, of course. But the time together allows Shane to learn a lot about Ilya that he'd never had the chance to before.
