Okay so I have Bird Thoughts(TM) the blue and gold I work (for) with loves to just???? Lick you???? like a freak and also will preen your leg hair (again like a freak) so imagine if you will, Ilya meeting Miko and Miko deciding both that she likes him and immediately starts trying to preen his leg hair, much to his utter bafflement and mild horror
GOD combining this with shane coming out getting disrupted by miko going, "SHANE! SHANE! SHANE! SHANE!" until he picks her up, i'm fucking CACKLING imagining them sitting down to talk it out, and ilya is trying SO HARD to be a good, supportive boyfriend.
but also?? they sit down at the table?? and miko climbs down off of shane's shoulder and tap tap taps her way over to ilya on the table?? and starts??? licking his arms and hands???? he doesn't want to be rude here but WHAT is this fucking bird doing??? and then he holds still while she uses him like a jungle gym to climb down??? and okay at least she isn't just licking him anymore?? but then she starts??? preening his leg hair???? and he has to just NOT react????
he's trying SO hard to be supportive and present and make sure shane is okay, but this bird is NOT making it easier. shane is having a stressful day, but ilya is just having a fucking WEIRD day.
Ladies and gentlethem, I give you my first ever fan art
