Shane hummed softly, pressing his toes into Ilya's calf with an affirming touch. "I am just sharing my health app with you. It's attached to my watch."

Ilya lifted his head, face scrunched in confusion as he looked over his shoulder at Shane. "You are trying to make me get healthy app? I told you team physical was good."

"No, it's not for you to join the app. It's the information from my watch, so you can see mine too," Shane explained, holding up his wrist as if Ilya needed a visual of his smart watch to understand.

Ilya was quiet for a moment as he sat up, untangling himself from the blanket wrapped around him and shifting Anya off his legs. "Thank you for sharing with me, but why do I need this?"

Now it was Shane's turn to be quiet, eyes dropping to his lap as the wayward string coming off one of their throw pillows suddenly became very interesting.

"I am not saying I do not want it, but why do you want to share this with me? Do I need to watch your numbers? Was your physical bad? Shane, please-"

"No! No, of course not. I am perfectly healthy. I promise," Shane rushed out, leaning over so he could take Ilya's hand. "It's just..."

Ilya shifted closer, squeezing Shane's hand for reassurance. "You know I will not be mad, Солнышко. I will be more upset if you keep something from me when it is bothering you."

Shane took a deep breath and finally met Ilya's eyes again. "I could tell you were stressed earlier when you got home from your appointment and couldn't find me. You looked a little panicked, maybe, when you woke me up from my nap."

"Shane..."

"I don't want you to feel that way, especially since I know you can't help it. If you had my health app on your phone, you could have seen that I was asleep. You could have seen my heartbeat. I just thought it might help."

Ilya's jaw clenched in that telltale way, trying to hide that he was holding back tears. He brought a hand around the back of Shane's head, pulling him closer to give him an appreciative kiss.

Still seeming to be without words, Ilya leaned back to reach for his phone, bringing Shane with him so he didn't have to lose contact. He unlocked his phone and opened the invitation message to Shane's health info.

"Show me how to use it," Ilya requested quietly, placing his phone in Shane's empty hand. "пожалуйста."

Shane nodded with a shy smile, feeling satisfied with making the right choice. "Of course, baby."

Дорогой - darling

Солнышко - sunshine/little sun

its a speeding ticket (not uncommon) with a traffic enforcement photo attached and its undeniable that it’s ilya’s (very few orange lamborghinis in the area) so shane is like “wow way to go. another few of those and your license is finally going to get revoked” and ilya is like “no. look closer.”

and shane leans in to look at the photo and tiny, just barely perceptible on the grainy photo, is ilya’s hand with a handful of dark hair in his lap

Next shot is inside the house, doorbell rings, Ilya frowns and rounds the corner, camera pans and follows to shoot over Ilya's shoulder as the door opens and Shane stands there in his puffer jacket. Shane smiles, shy, and says, "Wow, that costume is better in person," and then Ilya hauls him in and the camera circles until it's following their progress into the house. They're against the wall. They're against the couch. The camera follows and shows a wide shot of them pressed together, and then it's shown that Ilya's hand is down the back of Shane's pants. Shane's gasp is heard and Ilya's incredulous face is seen.

"You drove all the way here like this?" Ilya says.

Shane’s surprisingly quite relaxed. He’s confident in their relationship, excited to be married, and knows that even if something goes wrong, it doesn’t matter, because at the end of the day he’ll be with Ilya.

Ilya is stressed. He keeps crying. This is the best day of his life. Shane deserves better, why would the greatest man on earth want him. He’s never been happier. Something’s gonna go wrong, he knows it. Bood, Troy, and Sveta have to keep calming him down and reminding him that Shane loves him and they deserve to be happy together. He locks himself in the bathroom.

Shane’s getting dressed with Hayden, JJ, and Rose, sipping champagne, feet up as he waits for the ceremony to start.

Once they manage to coax Ilya out of the bathroom, David comes in and does his canon speech about Ilya being his second son. The waterworks start again.
