Summary
"Look, I know what Jackie said about you being an adult and trusting you--" Jackie audibly sighs. "--but dude, I'm worried. Why are you with a guy who's so mean? To everyone else, but also to you?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? 'Boring,' 'slow,' 'weak backhand,' hell, he called me the fifteenth best player when I opened the door!"
Or, Shane and Ilya invite Hayden over to come out to him. His flabber is thoroughly gasted. Luckily for everyone, Jackie has a higher emotional IQ than any of them.

Summary
Ilya can’t be realizing, at nearly thirty-five years old, that he isn’t as happy with who he is as he thought he was.
Because then, what? What is he supposed to do with that realization, except grieve? Should he mourn a life he might have had if his childhood hadn't been the way it was?
He has Shane now, and Shane loves him just the way he is, just as he's always known Ilya. This life led him to Shane, and being able to build something with him is the best thing that's ever happened to Ilya. He can’t, ever, fuck this up. He will always try fold himself into smaller pieces to preserve this.
But I don’t want to have to do that, his heart shouts at him. I don't know if I can do that anymore.
Or: Ilya Rozanov fights against and then accepts the fact that there's no such thing as being too late to learn more about yourself, and still be loved.

Summary
Beneath the roiling irritation, Shane is pretty sure he’s going to feel stupid in about an hour about this argument.
Right now, though, he’s in the middle of it and annoyed enough to stay there.
“-any fucking sense,” he says, slapping the dishtowel in his hand down on the counter and only succeeding in winding himself up further when it hits a little puddle of dishwater that sprays droplets on him.
Unfortunately, the easiest outlet for this frustration is also the person who started this argument in the first fucking place: Ilya.
“It does not need to make sense,” Ilya says, arms crossed over his chest in a way that says he’s feeling just as ready to commit to the world’s most stupid fight about nothing as Shane is. “Is about feeling.”
“And you feel like you would love a worm?” Shane asks, mirroring Ilya’s posture in a way that’s meant to be mocking.
From the way Ilya’s jaw tightens, he noticed, and it sends a petty little thrill through Shane.
(ilya tries to be sweet and let shane know he would love him even if he was a worm) (somehow it ends up turning into a fight)
