and due to his love for harry, he did indeed have hurted him with his secrets and untruthfulness and his control. and he literally did cry about it because it was so so foolish, that the person he cared about and didn't want to be harmed he compensated by shutting him up and avoiding to be in touch for his own supposedly safety. there is a selfishness to it as well as love and care in it. in the 6th book when albus was so so weak from the potion and they were going back from the cave, he trusted harry w his life because he knows harry inside out and knows his ability to take care for the people close to him witht he best he can. he teared up when harry told him he was dumbledore's man because the sole person he is sending to his doom and is beyond selfless and loving than he could ever dream of in himself was showing appreciation to him. looked up to him. as if albus never told snape months ago he's sending harry to be killed. as if he's NOT leaving harry in the dark by being transparent about his plan and his own story. and in the 7th... i just. i have no words. don't get me started on how albus quite literally carved the path for harry to BE the master of death. because he looked up to harry and knew he was thousand times more better than he could ever be. i will always stand by how, if albus outrightly told him abt the hallows, there was a very low chance harry would be master of death. but bcs of albus knowing and caring and loving harry, he carved the path for him.

anyway. that's all this was just a ramble. i was rereading the 7th book and had a million flashbacks and inevitably came back to THE albus chapter in ootp. so. albus is THE character for me in the series. always will be.

As the audience, we already know that Ilya loves Shane because we heard him say it in Russian. But we also know that love is not enough - Shane loves Rose but they weren't compatible. Sometimes love isn't enough, for a variety of reasons.

This is why Shane and Ilya are terrified of coming to the cottage. Because we still don't know if they're compatible beyond the incredibly hot sex and psychic level hockey passes. The tuna melt date was nice before Shane crashed out, but that was just one afternoon.

"I like you" is the missing piece in their relationship. I know that I love you and I desire you and we play good hockey together, but do I like you?

The cottage scenes answer: yes. I like playing with you and I like cooking with you and I like talking to you and I like sharing space with you and I like sleeping next to you and I like waking up with you. I like you.
