so shane and ilya are obsessed with each other’s bodies, we know this, and it’s been discussed how their physical build differs in the show vs the book and how that choice (positively) affects the narrative. now me, i love a height difference, but i’m discovering that it’s even buzzier that these two beefy jocks match each other on a physical level. it adds this extra layer to their power dynamic, that at any moment shane could physically overpower ilya but he chooses to let himself be manhandled because it makes his dick hard. and it turns ilya on so much that this strong, capable man wants to be thrown around by him, even moreso in the rare moments where shane does actually use his strength against him. he’s like, cute, this man i regularly pin to the mattress could still take me in a fight, and yes, i do wanna fuck him about it…
anyway, my freak sex headcanon of the day is that one day they’re bickering about something stupid a la the video game scene at the cottage. ilya actually agrees with whatever shane is saying but, ever the contrarian, argues for argument’s sake. and whenever he gets sick of playing up the bit (plus he’s a little horny from how seriously shane is taking their silly banter about pizza toppings or whatever), he tackles him and they start play wrestling on the rug. shane’s protests are weak, he likes when ilya holds him down, but he laughs and tells him to fuck off and pushes at his shoulders with no real strength behind it.
then ilya’s eyes darken and his face lights up with a mischievous little light bulb above his head.
“why don’t you fight back, hm? scared you can’t beat me?”
and shane takes that personally. he flips them over with ease, and then they’re just feral dogs going at it, rolling around on the floor, nobody’s holding back anymore, it’s a competition to see who’s the strongest. neither of them win though, because shane’s brain starts to melt with how turned on he is, and just when ilya has his arms pinned behind his back and thinks he’s about to take the prize, shane goes full WWE, hooking his leg around the backs of his knees and somehow sending him toppling back to the ground underneath him. and he pins his hips down and whoops he’s going down on him sloppy style and maybe ilya does lose the fight, actually
