they call it reckless love

- Ilya's hair gets impossibly blonder with all the sun

- Shane's freckles become darker and more defined

- ilya does NOT tan his Slavic ass is burning

- shane has a ridiculously specific brand of sunscreen and REFUSES to use anything else (this will be forced onto ilya IMMEDIATELY following the first burn of the season where shane realizes with horror ilya does not believe in sun screen)

- ilya behaves like a child at the pool the moment he gets anywhere near water (including the bartering begging and pleading to not have to leave)

- shane is a fiend for popsicles. low cal sweet treat without having to eat ice cream. perfect. they stain his (and later ilyas) mouth for an entire afternoon

- the only kitchen appliance ilya can operate with any kind of competence is a microwave

- there is exactly one kind of kitchen appliance shane does NOT own. hey. wanna guess what it is.

- when Ilya's actually got all his shit his curly hair routine is EXTENSIVE. they are equally high maintenance individuals. just in different ways.
