Summary
Diminutive forms are usually emotionally colored and used in friendly and intimate communication. It's generally not appropriate for a foreigner to use these forms when travelling in Russia. If you are close friends, it may be ok.
When Shane can't sleep, he goes down Wikipedia rabbit holes.
or: if you can't figure out your situationship.... Google him.

Bookmarker's Notes
this is such an endearing story. it’s not really a hollanov story as much as it is a rozanov story—a telling of two brothers who sacrificed everything for a better life. this is alexei’s story of raising ilya throughout the years and it is extremely gut wrenching.

Summary
“Don’t go,” Ilya manages to choke out, burying his face under Shane’s chin and squeezing his eyes shut. He inhales sharply, pressing his nose deeper into Shane’s throat to breathe in his scent. Right now, it’s Ilya’s body soap, vanilla and spice, masked under salt and skin. He inhales it like it's his own personal supply of air, what he needs to extinguish the burning in his lungs.
“Ilya,” Shane says, voice urgent, “you’re shaking, I—your breathing’s too fast—” He tries to pull back, needs to see Ilya’s face, needs to see what’s wrong, but Ilya just shakes his head and clings tighter.
“Please don’t go, Shane,” Ilya whispers, pleading. I’m sorry, please don’t go, don’t go—
OR: ilya and shane accidentally recreate the tuna-melt day, and ilya realizes just how much old wounds hurt.
