Summary
It was like seeing a ghost. The young man was holding himself so rigidly, hands clasped in front of him. He was smiling very politely at them. But his position was braced for being struck verbally or physically. He was ready for impact. All David could see was Yuna, almost thirty years ago, scared shitless of meeting his parents.
David hadn’t been scared to meet her dad. David had brought him a good bottle of sake, put on nice clothes and expected to be liked. Watching her with his parents had led him down a research rabbit hole (long before YouTube) about the way kids in the East interacted with their parents vs. the way kids in the West did — the way family and responsibility were viewed. He had been grateful his minor was in psychology because he was dating a complicated woman, and he wanted to marry her someday. Understanding her enough to not step on landmines was step one in the process.
“Hi,” said Ilya softly.
“Ilya,” said David with a smile, “it’s great to finally meet you. I’m David.” He held out a hand to shake.
David Hollander is used to being the steady one in his family. Meeting Ilya is just one more thing to be steady for.

Summary
“You’re starting to sound like him,” said Hunter.
Shane thought… if Hunter knew… he had had years to out them. He had been in the room next to Ilya’s. But he had never said anything. Feeling numb, terrified, Shane said, “I’m sorry, what?”
“You fucking heard me, Hollander.” Hunter’s face was so angry. Shane saw the truth, the threat, in the man’s face.
He was on a mic. He was mic’d. This would ruin Shane and Rozanov. He dropped his gloves without really thinking about it. He never dropped his gloves. Hunter couldn’t run his mouth without teeth. His teammates caught him and held him back. He chirped a lot, calling Hunter old and past it, hoping to distract him, get him to not say the worst thing he could possibly say. All Shane could hope for was a distraction.
When Hunter chirps at Shane while mic’d up for behind-the-scenes content, Shane feels sick. He knows his parents, Ilya and the world hear it, and he worries about the consequences.

“So, how long has your brother been seeing Greg?”
Sherlock stares at him, oblivious — a first, John is sure. “Pardon?”
“The rings,” John says slowly, staring back. “Greg confirmed it. That they’re dating, I mean. Wait — did you not know? How could you not know? Did you not — I dunno, deduce it or something?”
