    Summary

    It sits with him.

    And there were no nice men in Montreal?

    It burns in his mind, a slow, dreadful smolder. It fogs across his thoughts, cloying and terrible. What a stupid, awful question. What a fucking weird thing to say about his—about his boyfriend.

    No nice men in Montreal?

    And all he'd said was I don't know.

    He's a terrible person.

    OR: Shane thinks he should be better at this whole boyfriend thing, no matter how new it is.

    Summary

    “I think maybe we did not meet for first time in Saskatchewan.” He answers finally.

    “What? No, we definitely did. I wouldn’t forget that. Did you hit your head at practice?”

    Ilya can’t believe he once went nearly a decade without crying. The dam is so thoroughly busted now that it only takes a stiff breeze to blow it back open. He’s far closer to it now than he would like. “No. I think also maybe you did get to meet my Mama.”

    “Ilya…What are you talking about?”

    Ilya loves spending time with Shane's parents, and he's looking forward to dinner and an evening of looking at Shane's baby pictures, however they are going to bring back memories for more than just the Hollanders.

    Summary

    It’s less a blur than it is fractured moments of horrible clarity. Buck isn’t sure how they make it into the ambulance, but he can remember Chris rolling his eyes when Buck told him to not answer the door for anyone while he went to recon the pizza. The delivery guy was lost, which wasn’t uncommon since the entire block of residential buildings Buck lived on decided it didn’t need anything as simple as numbers to mark which was which, so if he didn’t get a pretty dedicated person, he almost always had to go downstairs.

    It wasn’t the first or seventh time. Chris knew the drill. He’d flicked a piece of popcorn at Buck in an echo of what Buck had done to Eddie half an hour earlier, and told him to be fast, he was hungry. Sure thing, your majesty, Buck had bowed and Chris had laughed in that crackling way he did now while he steadily became more of a teenager. Buck smiled about it the entire way down. On the second flight, he’d realized he was still wearing his apron, debated going back up to leave it, then didn’t.

    The explosion came next.

    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.
