    Summary

    Ilya was trying to do the math in his head. How did one dopey man and one assertive woman create Shane, who was neither? Although, as he watched David fidget and avoid eye contact, the pieces were starting to fall into place. He wondered if David was as easy to fluster as his son.

    "So, I hear you played for McGill."

    ---

    I just want Jacob Tierney to tell me what they talked about while Shane and Yuna were outside.

    Summary

    This is the deal: Ilya and Shane don't know each other. Shane’s there to relax. He’s there to grab a beer and watch whatever’s on the bar TV and speak to no one. Ilya might approach him, or might not. It’s not up to Shane. If he has to wait, he waits. No questions once they’re in it, but there will be nothing unsafe, no doing anything that’d show up on a medical. Shane’s job is to trust—to believe a little.

    Again, this is the deal: Shane takes what he’s given.

    When Shane and Yuna are talking outside, David is left with his son's arch-rival/lover who they apparently don't hate anymore.
    It's tough to keep up.

    Summary

    He’s already in the room, shutting the door behind himself as quietly as he can before he realises that not only is there someone other than Shane in the room, but there are three someones other than Shane.

    And, as if he hasn’t already fucked up spectacularly, the someones happen to be the Hollanders and Hayden fucking Pike.

     

    // or; Ilya visits Shane in the hospital and meets his parents. He's traumatized and grieving, everything hurts, and Shane takes after his mother.

    Summary

    “It needs to be airtight,” said Shane, folding his laptop and laying it on the bedside table. “It can’t  be—we can’t just put out a statement, ‘Oh, we’re friends now.’ We need to be seen together. In public. Becoming friends.” He took off his glasses, set them on the laptop.

    “Yes, I know,” said Ilya. “We decided. I will approach you.”

     

    (Set at some point post-Season 1. Shane and Ilya need to establish the start of their "friendship" in the public eye. Naturally, this becomes seeing how hard they can covertly flirt with each other. Naturally, that becomes sexual roleplaying as a version of themselves that didn't have an almost decade-long situationship.)
