    Summary

    Ilya walks closer, his attention catching on the phone. Shane’s heart kicks up a notch, and he isn’t fast enough to grab the phone before Ilya snatches it from the floor. He pauses for a few seconds on the video that’s playing, amusement dancing on his face, at odds with the way his pupils are blown out. How long had he been standing there, watching Shane?

    Summary

    Shane pulls back, carefully cradling Ilya’s face. “Maybe we shouldn’t.”

    “You don’t want to?” Ilya’s eyes are bottomless; swimming with grief. He says it like he really means, You don’t want me?

    “That isn’t what I mean,” Shane says gently, brushing his thumb over Ilya’s cheekbone. Ilya’s eyes flutter shut, as if being treated so tenderly causes him physical pain. Like he isn’t used to it. “You’re hurting. I don’t want you to regret it in the morning.” 

    Ilya’s eyes open. “I have never regretted a moment with you.”

    Summary

    Ilya’s hand wraps around his bare wrist and squeezes. Shane barely stops himself from collapsing to his knees.

    The pressure lights up every receptor of his touch-starved nervous system, wrenching a small, pained noise from the back of his throat. Every muted sensation comes flooding back so intensely that it almost hurts. He needs Ilya to hold him down until there’s nothing inside him but quiet. He wants to sink into him and disappear.

    It takes Shane an entire beat to remember where they are. Fighting against the fog in his mind, he manages to drag his gaze up to meet Ilya’s.

    There’s a slow-dawning horror and understanding on Ilya’s face.

    Summary

    “I thought you’d be disappointed in me for… for not finishing the course?” Fuma is trying to joke, lighten the atmosphere a little, but midway through the sentence the air is knocked out of him as Yūdai shoves him back against the wall.

    “Are you kidding?” Yūdai asks, hissing, eyes dark and heavy lidded, and Fuma can’t parse whether he means: of course not or of course I am. And then Yūdai drops to his knees at Fuma’s feet.
