    Summary

    "rose, give me one good reason why i should go to a fucking emo music festival."

    “your drummer boy is playing.”

    shane freezes. he doesn’t know the guy’s name or the band he’s in, and he doesn’t know a damn thing about the guy other than the fact that he’s russian, according to rose, but —

    those curls. and his drummer arms.

    “what time do you wanna leave on saturday?”

    or: when rose wins two tickets to warped tour 2005's montreal date, shane figures he's in for a day of sweaty, drunk festivalgoers, music that's loud enough to give him a migraine, and maybe a few glimpses of that hot russian drummer in rose's favorite band. he gets a lot more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    The memory of Shane’s face the first time he had entered him has been permanently tattooed on his brain for years. There have been very few nights where the image of Shane arching back with his eyes closed in bliss has not haunted him, so many times that he knows it as well as his own. But this Shane, the one underneath him right this very moment, is going to be his undoing. It’s the same mouth open around a soundless cry, the same eyelashes fanning over freckled cheeks, the same shock of black hair against a pillow, but the expression is peaceful in a way that Ilya has never seen. 

    In comparison, Ilya is unraveling. He can feel every cell of his body vibrating on a frequency that threatens to dissolve him into an entirely different state of matter. Here, inside Shane with nothing between them, he is going to split apart and be made new, something beyond flesh.

    Summary

    “Hayden and Jackie didn't do a prenup. Is it weird that we did?” Shane questions, one-track-minded right now.

    Ah yes, weird for Yuna to bring up the prenup during their wedding, but not at all weird for Shane Hollander, aka Yuna Jr., to also mention it on their—Ilya glances at his watch—technically still—wedding night.

    “It would be weird for Hayden to make Jackie sign a prenup.” Ilya answers. “Hayden doesn't have any money worth stealing.”

    OR: hollanov wedding night but they're just being grossly in love

    Summary

    “Hey,” Hollander says softly, settling a hand on Ilya’s back.

    Ilya turns away and fixes his gaze on a spot of chipped paint on the wall, trying to will the moisture trailing down his cheeks back into his tear ducts. “Sorry,” he whispers, shaking his head.

    He can’t actually remember the last time he felt so utterly mortified. This is not at all what he’d envisioned happening when Hollander asked for his room number. He’d guessed that a conversation was on the horizon; Ilya had just imagined it happening after he reminded Hollander exactly what he’d been missing while he was off being Rose Landry’s boyfriend. But no, Hollander always wants to clear the air, always needs to fucking talk, even though Ilya never has the right words for him.

    “Hey,” Hollander says again, somehow even more tenderly.

    The bed shifts, and suddenly Hollander is crawling into Ilya’s lap and cradling Ilya’s face in his hands and kissing him.

    (or, filling in the blanks between Ilya crying in Shane's arms and the bed being absolutely wrecked in the last shot of that scene)
