    Summary

    “Shane…”
    “Please. Please, please.”
    He’s begging now. Begging Ilya to take him back. To forget everything that happened in Tampa. It would be hard, but he would do it. He would do anything to keep Ilya.
    “I’ll do anything,” he tells him. “I’ll do anything you want, just please don’t… Please don’t do this. I mean it - I can pretend I don’t feel anything. Please, just… just take me back. Let me come back to you, I’ll be so good for you. Please. ”
    Ilya doesn’t answer. He’s so quiet on the other end of the phone, that Shane has to check his screen if the call is still going. It is.
    “Ilya?” he whispers.
    “Shane,” Ilya whispers back. “Please hang up the phone.”

     

    - or, shane's accident never happens and ilya follows through with his promise to break things off with shane, only to regret it immediately, especially when shane calls him drunk and upset

    Summary

    “Ilya,” Hollander breathes, which—Ilya isn’t sure Hollander has ever called him by his first name. Surely he has sometime in seven years of acquaintance? But the sound of it is novel, unfamiliar. 

    And far from unpleasant. 

    Then Hollander says, “Baby,” and Ilya knows for certain that he’s never called Ilya that, because it takes the air right out of Ilya’s lungs and makes his guts twist and fuck, he would have remembered if Hollander had ever called him that. Especially in that reverent tone. 

    It’s nice. 

    Ilya doesn't remember being married to Shane Hollander. Probably, he should tell someone.

    He decides not to.

    David set the phone carefully on the coffee table and answered.
    “Hey, Ilya. I’m with Shane and Yuna. You’re on speaker-”
    “There are pills,” Ilya said. The words trembled. “I need big favor. I need you to come take them from me. Please."

    Summary

    “Now,” Martin says, his voice softer but still firm. “Do you have any more ridiculous requests or can you leave?”

    And for some ungodly reason, as if Jon hadn’t given him enough trouble, he lifts his head, looks at Martin, and says:

    “Can I kiss you?”
