    The year is 2004, he’s twelve again, and his mother is still alive.

    Summary

    It’s been weeks now since he’s been back and the Raiders’ first practice is tomorrow. He’s staring down at the barrel of a long, long few months of solitude. The thought shouldn’t be so daunting still, but it is. It is. It’s different now that Shane is his boyfriend, now that he knows what it’s like to spend long, uninterrupted days together and now that he knows what it is to feel the lack of them.

    Summary

    “Don’t–” Ilya starts, already reaching, already cupping Shane’s face between both hands, thumbs warm and tender against his cheekbones like they’ve always belonged there.

    Shane’s eyes are big and gorgeous and genuinely curious. “Don’t what?”

    Don’t make me look like a lovesick idiot. Don’t make my heart trip over itself for a way out of my chest and into yours. Don’t say it like that—so fucking sincere—like you don’t know how devastating it is for me.

    “Don’t butcher my language,” he says instead and kisses Shane’s smile hard, like reflex, like gravity, like there was never going to be another option.

    -

    Shane sets out to learn Russian. Ilya discovers he's incapable of keeping his composure.

    Summary

    “Seeing you up and about was all I ever wanted.”

    He was supposed to lighten under the confession, he was supposed to dissolve under the warm lamp light into dust right into Warren’s hands and never ever solidify again. He was supposed to drop the entire conversation right then and there, lean over the stupid deck of cards and kiss Warren square on his lovely mouth like he wanted to do ever since he emerged. He was supposed to look up and see the smile on Warren’s lips, hoping for exactly this course of events to play out in the very next minute.

    The sharp stab that throbbed in Gordon’s chest, on the other hand, still wanted to scream. If something in Gordon’s eyes betrayed his actual cause, Warren did not catch it in time.

    “Why’s it taking so long for me but not you?”

    (where the world seems to keep turning without Gordon in it, and he cannot figure out how to belong somewhere again)
