Shane and Ilya go out for coffee a little while after they're outed and it's not until they're home and have parked the car in the driveway and are walking up to the door that Shane suddenly realizes:
"I think that was our first date."
Ilya frowns at him. "What?"
"I mean, kind of?" Shane says. "At least our first date in public."
Ilya stops to consider and realizes that holy shit, Shane might be right. Still, "It was just coffee. If I am taking you on a date, it will be somewhere much nicer. Someplace with candles."
Shane shrugs. "I've heard coffee is a pretty classic first date activity, actually."
They've reached the door and as Shane goes to unlock it, Ilya leans against the door frame with a teasing grin.
"It was a good date then?" he asks. "Maybe nice enough that you want to invite me in?"
Shane feels a giddy rush and has to fight to suppress his smile. "I don't know. I'm pretty sure that's more of a third date activity."
"You are Mr. Dating Expert now?"
"Just don't want you to think I'm easy."
"You are easy," Ilya says, wrapping his hand around Shane's waist and tugging him in close for a kiss.
Shane hums into the kiss happily, clutching Ilya's shoulder when he trails his lips down the column of Shane's neck. "Just for you."
