    Summary

    “I am serious, though, you are safe, yes? Drunk at hotel, sitting on balcony, crying over Montreal’s terrible loss?”

    It makes sense that Ilya’s mind would go there first. Shane said he was outside. Based on past behavior, the hotel balcony is probably the only place Ilya would expect him to be. He feels a little giddy that he gets to shock him for once.

    “I’m at a club, actually.” He has to bite back a self-satisfied smile as he speaks, “With the team. Safe.”

    It's quiet for a few moments before Ilya deadpans,

    “Very funny joke.”

    (or: three days after the breakup with rose, shane gets drunk in boston. it spirals out from there.)

    Summary

    A rather large heron waded in the water, its backside mottled in tiger-stripes, tapering at a black head. The bird’s beak struck the water with natural, violent efficiency, its yolk-yellow throat elongated as it gobbled down minnows.

    The ladies whispered amongst themselves, scrambling for their iPhones stuffed inside their pockets. Shane, meanwhile, had gone to stand behind the cover of a leafy green plant, positioned perfectly so as not to spook the bird, with a perfect window for a gorgeous photograph.

    “That’s a good camera,” the guide commented, watching Shane with the admiring eye of a fellow birder.

    Ilya was preening. A preening fucking peacock. He didn’t care if the metaphor was cheesy; he felt like one. He felt like one of those crazy-looking birds from the documentaries Shane liked to watch, birds-of-paradise, with ruffled rumps, faces like parade masks, prostrating themselves in the treetops for love.

    (Or, Ilya takes his birding husband on a birding honeymoon.)

    Summary

    Ilya pops open one eye to observe Shane, whose own eyes are scarcely open to see it. “Break up with her.”
    “I’m not breaking up with her. I love her.”
    “You love her like best friend. Not like a girlfriend.”

    or

    What if Shane didn't break up with Rose right away, but also couldn't stay away from Ilya?

    Inspired by the song of the same name by Renee Rapp, for my BITE ME anthology series based off the album <3
