it meant something to me! maybe that can be enough

My five year plan is to just see what happens

Ilya so immediately clocked Shane's little autistic flirting in that Saskatchewan parking lot but I honestly don't think Shane clocked it himself so, years later, when Ilya talks about it as "Shane coming onto him" and Shane goes "hello??? I just wanted to introduce myself??" Ilya just says, "Shane, the apple of my eye, the light of my life, my breeze in a stuffy room, my sunshine in the dead of winter, when have you ever willingly initiated small talk with another person?" and Shane is forced to concede that, yes, looking back, he was flirting.

Shane hollander is truly one of the characters of all time. He played one sport when he was like 4 years old and decided to make it his entire livelihood for the rest of his life. He met one guy when he was 18 and decided that was it. Thats all he needed. Hes made like 4 decisions in his life and if anything jeopardizes those decisions he is trying to change the trajectory of the universe with his mind. He is constantly playing 10D chess with every possible situation and life scenario (read: plotting and planning 10 years in the dark after ilya offhandedly mentions marrying someone else for a green card) and im not sure if he's winning or losing. No one is doing it like him

ilya smiling so big and stupid at shane’s literal and earnest responses to his terrible sexting is so fucking potent. he likes him so much. he literally just stands there and grins inanely at his phone because shane truly delights and amuses him. this montreal girl works you up! you’re straight up blushing, roz! ilya loves to laugh at shane and it’s not even always in an antagonistic way he just thinks shane is so charming and so endearing. like he likes him. he really likes him. and most importantly shane makes him laugh. jesus christ

Correct 🙂‍↕️

I’m actually kinda fun once you get to know me (takes 3 to 4 years).
