it is so so important to the story that after 5 books of these love stories going public and having their HEA that we as the audience remember that those are the exceptions

that for decades before, men like Wiebe and his unnamed fling just. had to let go

it would have been unthinkably unsafe, career ending, beyond stupid to try for something real or come out

especially for 2 men who were by all accounts, mid tier unremarkable players for mid tier unremarkable teams

the audience gets so caught up in this magical fantasyland of ilya and shane the two best of the best getting to come out and Win! scott and kip did it!

the real world implications of homophobia go so far beyond the relatively minor problems (dirty looks, boycotts of branded products, etc.) into genuine problems of being assaulted, being fired, etc.

and it’s a direct parallel to ilya’s story. he’s bisexual. he chose what the audience will see as the “easy path” of conforming to heterosexuality

if you make brandon into brenda you strip that entire thing and that’s just. so bad

i don't know if you know this, anon, but this is fr one of my fave kinks, so thanks for sending it!!!! i hope you like <3

A quiet little whine slips from Shane when Ilya spreads his asscheeks, exposing his puffy hole, still soft and loose from Ilya’s dick. Gingerly, Ilya pulls at the rim with his thumb to watch his come start to slip out, sliding down Shane’s taint; Ilya never tires of this sight.

Ilya catches his own come with his tongue and drags it back up Shane’s taint, across his hole, and feels him shudder and moan softly, pushing back against the sensation with a string of soft noises that would make Ilya hard in a matter of seconds if he hadn’t just come.

Ilya spreads him wider, fingers dug into the meat of Shane’s ass, points his tongue to push inside, lapping at his own come, cleaning up his own mess, while Shane shifts and trembles and whines, so sweet and desperate: as he always is for Ilya.

“There, all clean,” Ilya says once he’s done and Shane hums with a smile, turning onto his back and opening his arms for Ilya to collapse into them, and Ilya goes, as he always does, and lets Shane hold him, one hand in his hair and the other drifting softly across his back.
