Shane doesnt really believe ilya's been in love with him since they were 17 until he reveals that when the plane was going down and he was feverishly texting Shane, while he was begging something higher than himself for more time to love Shane properly, the image in his head after 12+ years of scenes he could conjure was a parking lot outside a rink in Saskatchewan, and a pretty, freckled boy telling him he shouldnt smoke there.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

the idea that hollander "tamed" rozanov is really funny to shane because like. ilya finds it hot and is always going along with it, yes of course my husband is so sexy why do you think i moved to this boring fucking city. for dick. meanwhile shane knows the truth which is that ilya tamed himself. he herded shane like a sheepdog until he was exactly in the right position for ilya to flop down at his feet and say i love you, i am a one man guy, sleep with other people if you want but you are it for me, so shane is always there like ??? ilya. what are you talking about. i was literally prepared to be a secret slot on your roster for the rest of time without even admitting that i was gay until you decided to have me over make me lunch and say my name while you come like a love confession and ilya goes lyubmiyy. shut up. i was untamable you tamed the untamable and so shane has to be like yes, baby, i worked so hard, i used all my tricks but he's rolling his eyes because ilya wants to be a wolf shane coaxed inside to sleep on the hearth but instead he's a cat who snuck through the window and fell in love with his prey. self domesticated. and this is just one of the many perfect games they play

See, "Shane walks Ilya like a dog" is what Ilya feels their dynamic is and plays it up. Meanwhile, Shane is very well aware that he is a meerkat that a cheetah grabbed with his jaws but never bit it and let it rest in the safety of his mouth forever
