Love Me Anyway

Pairing: Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov Rating: Teen and Up Word Count: 9047 Summary: “Well, it’s nice to do nothing,” she says, swiftly moving past the awkwardness. “You two have such busy schedules; it must be nice to relax together.” At once, both of their postures seem to deflate a little and she watches as Ilya’s expression melts into a smile. “Yes,” he agrees softly, eyes entirely on Shane. “For once.” Shane glances at him and he looks…well. She doesn’t know if love-struck is the word but she doesn’t think it’s far off. Shane settles a hand on Ilya’s knee and their smiles miss each other by a fraction of a second. It hits her then just how much of themselves they’ve been hiding. It’s one thing, keeping their romantic relationship a secret; it’s an entirely other thing to not even be allowed to act friendly towards each other in public. It has to have taken its toll over the years. It sits uncomfortable in her sternum that she might have inadvertently played a part. * Five times someone realises Ilya is good for Shane + one time someone realises Shane is good for Ilya.

She had shut her mind off to me for some time then. And so I was left to revisit old haunts, desperate for connection. "Claudia, come home. I know I hurt you. I know I can make it right again."

"If your cast had superpowers, what would they be?" x

i wouldn't have you any other way who wants love that makes sense anyway?
