    Summary

    He hit the green button and tucked the phone between his shoulder and his ear, trying to balance the plant. “Did you find your curdled cheese?” he asked by way of a greeting.

    “Ilya,” Shane said, and Ilya’s spine stiffened. Shane’s voice was tight and slightly muffled. “Can you guys come to the entrance?”

    Ilya set down the plant on the ground with a thunk. Yuna turned to look at him. Her nose flared at the sour scent of worry coming off of him.

    “What happened?” Ilya growled. Something was wrong with his omega. He could feel it in his bones.

    “What’s wrong?” Yuna snapped, setting down her bags, freeing her hands.

    “We’re OK,” Shane said, trying and failing to sound soothing. “There was a fight, but we’re OK.”

    Summary

    Life feels so chaotic for Shane sometimes, with all the loud noises and the unwritten rules he’s expected to follow, even though no one ever taught them to him. It’s why the bookstore feels more like home to him than anywhere else in Boston. It doesn’t ask Shane to be anything other than himself. Doesn’t ask for any more than he can give.

    He can just exist here.

    Shane likes slow, likes taking his time. And Ilya - without saying or doing anything in particular - makes Shane feel like that’s okay. Like he isn’t doing anything wrong by standing still sometimes.

    (Or, Shane works in a bookstore, Ilya plays hockey, and they both go to the same college. They fall in love in every universe.)

    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)
