    Summary

    “Who hasn't thought that they might be bisexual from time to time. It’s totally normal to love men. Hell, I do! Who doesn't appreciate when a guy has a great ass? I know Shane definitely does." Hayden realizes he’s forgotten what the question was.

    Remember when Misha Collins accidentally came out as bisexual and then had to walk it back? Yeah, me too.

    Summary

    Shane knew himself well enough to admit it, there were real feelings there. Complicated, messy, painful feelings.

    And despite everything, despite the rejection, the distance, the confusion, he still craved him.

    Craved the intimacy.

    Craved the softness he had seen in flashes but never fully received.

    Why couldn’t Ilya open up like this?

    Why couldn’t he just… talk to him?

    Because this, this right here with Hayden, was easy.

    Shane looked at Hayden and couldn’t believe how natural it felt.

    Why was it so hard to be like this with Ilya?

    Summary

    Shane returns from the showers to find the locker room far more animated than when he left it. Everyone has their phones out, and when he sees Shane coming, JJ says, “Câlisse, Hollander, about fucking time! Ilya Rozanov got caught kissing a man.”


    After the tuna melt debacle, but before Rose, Ilya makes the reckless decision to go to a gay bar to take his mind off of Shane. When photographs get published, Shane has a realization and devises a plan: he's going to ask Ilya Rozanov to marry him.

    Ilya's going through enough without things he can't have being dangled in front of him. He needs to figure out a different way to avoid going home, because eventually Shane Hollander will realize what Ilya already knows: Ilya isn't worth what Shane wants to do for him.
