    Summary

    It started, as so many things do, with a tweet.

    “Hey, Hollzy! Look at this! It’s so you and Roz,” Evan Dykstra said, shoving his phone in Shane’s face. Shane squinted at the slightly blurry screen, willing his eyes to focus on the small font. He never brought his glasses to practice (much to Ilya’s chagrin), but he also never anticipated reading whatever stupid meme the Centaurs decided was vital for his desolate knowledge of pop culture.

    Me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic, it read, followed by a photo pulled from Centaurs socials of Ilya and Shane smiling at each other like idiots at a team event.

    Shane read it a second time, then looked up at Dykstra, who looked incredibly proud of himself. Clearly, Ilya was supposed to be the ‘bad bitch,’ because no one had ever put those two words in the same sentence as Shane Hollander.

    “Funny, D,” Shane began, “but I’m not autistic.”

     

    or,
    Shane Hollander realizes he might be autistic. He is the last person to do so.

    Summary

    Because even now, as they eat and David and Shane and Ilya all talk, she is trying to figure out the details of the whole thing, trying to pass her mind back to all those years, figure out if she had missed something along the way. There’s something like grief sitting heavy in her chest, the realization that she had missed every moment of her son falling in love, still can’t understand the how of it all.

    OR

    Dinner, the day after. Yuna gets her chance to sit down and hear from Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    It doesn’t occur to him until he’s sitting in his moms guest bathroom, with a CNN makeup artist putting just enough concealer on his face to not completely hide his bruising (because it plays well, of course, if people can see he’s injured while doing this vulnerable thing), that he hasn’t fucking let Ilya know he's about to come out on national television.

    Well, fuck, Shane thinks, staring at his own blinking reflection in the mirror blankly.

    Summary

    A few days before Shane’s seventeenth birthday, he told his parents he’d broken up with Elise. “It just didn’t work out,” Shane said, not really looking at either of them; instead, he was staring at the TV, obviously not really watching the hockey game he’d put on. There was a faint rosy tint to his cheeks.

    Or: in which Yuna and David try to figure out what's going on with their son through the years while trying to be good, supportive, non-overbearing parents.

    Summary

    Shane doesn't fall apart loudly. He spirals, shuts down, missteps. Ilya pays attention. He stays. He helps Shane learn what it feels like to be noticed without being corrected.

    or, 5 times Shane needs help regulating his autism, and Ilya is there for him + 1 time Shane is there for Ilya.
