    Summary

    Ilya does not like Hayden Pike.

    He appreciates him as a friend of Shane's, a good friend, and can recognise that he has excellent taste in people as evidenced by both Jackie and Shane, but Ilya definitely, absolutely, does not like him.

    TikTok, gradually, wears him down.

    Summary

    Hayden hated the guy. Hated him.

    Hated his stupid, smug smirk and the myriad of insults he threw Hayden’s way and the way he made fun of Shane like it was a funny game then looked him up and down like a piece of meat and his reputation of sleeping with everything that fucking moved and the memories of being slammed into the boards by him and quite literally everything about this Russian dickhead.

    And he hated that he was now going to have to do everything in his power to learn how to tolerate Rozanov because Shane was inexplicably and hopelessly in love with him, and Shane was his brother in every fucking thing but blood, and Hayden was not going to keep being responsible for that sad puppy look on his face every time he realized how poorly they got along.

    So far, Hayden sucked at it. Big time.

    ---

    It bothers Shane that Hayden and Ilya don't get along, so Hayden is putting in the effort to try and see these redeeming qualities Shane claims the guy has. Over the years it becomes easier and easier, until one day, he realizes he doesn't have to actually try anymore.

    or, 5 times Hayden realized he was starting to tolerate Ilya + 1 time they acknowledged they were actually friends now

    Summary

    "Brad is that your answering machine? Dude—does it even still work?”

     

    “I have no idea,” he shrugged. “It’s blinking—-that usually meant there was a message—-”

     

    “May I?” she hesitated over the ‘play’ button, curiosity evident.

     

    “I don’t even know what year it’ll be from, but—yeah, go for it—”

     

    She clicked the button at his consent, curiosity mounting. This was turning into a heck of a glimpse into Bradley’s life.

     

    Message 1 Friday, June 21st, 2001–

     

    Natasha raised an eyebrow at her friend. That was almost seven years ago—
