    Summary

    Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.

     
    “So I can know what they feel when I do it to them.” Naim’s words were murmured, quiet, eyes glued to the hammer with a sense of anticipation.

    It made Ryan pause. He hadn’t been expecting that, hadn’t been expecting Naim to be like him. He considered that maybe it was a joke, an attempt to relate to Ryan and save his life, but you couldn’t fake that kind of pure excitement in your eyes. Ryan had chosen a man who was too much like him to be his next victim.

    Summary

    “So, what now? We keep catching coaches from shithole to shithole?”

    A mosquito pricks Ryan’s neck and he smacks it away. He thinks about the weight of Naim’s head on his shoulder on the bus, the tinny melodies emitted by cheap earphones filling the space between them. Remembers how settled he’d felt, how uncertain yet still oddly calm, having only the vaguest idea where he was going but being sure about who he was going with. He looks at Naim. “Maybe, yeah.”

    /

    Ryan and Naim keep going.

    Summary

    “I know you always meet a girl named Lily when we are in Boston. That’s why I wanted to take you out tonight, to distract you from… whatever.”
    ”I don’t.” Shane deadpanned.
    “Dude, you are so red right now even thinking about it.”
    ”I’m drunk,” he huffed out, feeling his lip pop out in a small pout once again.
    Hayden chuckled, “no, you’re cute.”
    Shane looked down at him with wide eyes, feeling his face grow into what he was sure was a deeper shade of red. Hayden just looked at him without a big stupid grin on his face, his cheeks tinged a shade of red himself.
    It was then he realized the position he was in, straddling his friend’s lap. Which normally wouldn’t be weird, except his friend has definitely never looked at him like that before.
    “Ummm,” Shane breathed out, trying to scramble off to his side of the room, but Hayden grabbed onto his wrist, holding him in place.
    “I thought we agreed you were staying in my bed tonight?” Hayden whispered.

    Hayden cheers Shane up :)))

    Summary

    “We didn’t kiss.”

    Saying the words felt like a boulder had been lifted off his chest for a few blissful seconds before a whole mountain crashed down to take its place. What the fuck was he thinking? Saying something so pathetic, so needy, so utterly stupid over something so insignificant? Heat flooded his face, a different kind of shame, fresh and hot.

    (or, I was mad that Shane never got any reassurance or apology for the Vegas humiliation ritual and "we didn't even kiss")

    Summary

    His heartbeat was too fast. His chest felt tight. The microphone foam brushed his knuckles and the texture was suddenly unbearable, coarse, wrong.
    Too loud.
    Too bright.
    Too close.
    Too much.
    He needed space.

     

    or

    After an intense game and overwhelming post-game media scrum, Shane hits sensory overload and has a meltdown. Ilya finds him hiding away and stays, grounding him through it and reminding him he doesn’t have to handle everything alone.
