At the cottage

Shane very confidently puts on the playlist of songs he's heard and knows are supposed to be Songs For This Situation, not imagining anything could go wrong.

But when it starts with "I'll Make Love to You" by Boys II Men, then goes into "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith, then "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye, Shane can tell that Ilya is fighting not to laugh. By the time it gets to "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" by Celine Dion, Ilya can't take it anymore. He collapses against Shane's chest laughing so hard he's crying.

"What? What the fuck is so funny?" says Shane, a little annoyed but fighting a giggle himself because Ilya's laugh is so contagious.

"You, My Shane," he says, barely managing to press a clumsy kiss to Shane's lips through his laughter. "Only you, my beautiful boyfriend, would have this as your sex playlist."

"They're love songs," he says defensively, folding his arms. "This is literally what they're for."

"Yes, maybe if you were born in 1965," he says, wiping his eyes. "Do you even like any of these songs?"

"I mean, I don't hate the Celine Dion one."

And Ilya's full on laughing again as he kisses Shane. "Oh my god, solnyshko, I just love you so fucking much."

"Fuck... You... Rozanov," says Shane, in between kisses. "That's the last time I try to do something romantic for us. From now on you choose the music." He picks up the remote from his nightstand and hands it to Ilya. But Ilya shakes his head.

"No, no, I like it now," he says, stifling his laugh and grinding against Shane's thigh to emphasize his point. "I feel now like I will never again be able to get hard without the help from this song from Top Gun."
