    Summary

    And oh, Ilya was a weak, weak man.

    Because Shane had clearly gotten the wrong advice from someone along the line.

    And as his RA, his mentor and guide in the first year of Shane's college career, he was meant to correct that. Steer his charge clear of such horrible, terrible ideas as asking their “straight” RA to teach them how to kiss behind their boyfriend's back. Say no, malysh, you really don't need to worry about this, your first kiss should be with someone you love and trust and really want to kiss.

    “Okay,” he said, instead, and thought that at least he wasn't going to be sent back to Russia.

    He was going to be sent straight to hell.

    Summary

     

     
    After Ilya breaks Shane's heart in Sochi, Shane builds a life out of control.

    Three cups. Captaincy. Precision. Routine. Emptiness.

    When no achievement manages to make him feel anything, he turns to a mysterious phone service instead.

    Intimate in ways that should be impossible between strangers. A man who understands exactly how to pull Shane apart without ever touching him. Who gives him structure instead of chaos. Relief instead of performance.

    Shane finds himself pulled toward something he thought he buried years ago.

    ----

    Or:
    Set 4 years after Sochi, where both Ilya and Shane were left with shattered hearts, this is a story about second chances and being brave enough to trust again. To want anew.

    Summary

    “What is word for this?” Ilya brought his own thumb up to press it against Shane’s, applying more pressure to his lip. “Liking things in your mouth.”

    Shane flushed a deep red, face heating up as he pulled his thumb away. “I—it isn’t…”

    “Hey,” Ilya pressed a kiss to Shane’s hair, reassuring him. “Is nothing to be embarrassed about.”

    Or; Shane has an oral fixation and Ilya wants to indulge him in every possible way that he can.

    Summary

    "I am going to teach you another word." Shane can't look away from him, entranced. He could not possibly be more unprepared to be learning new Russian words than he is right now, but that's probably the point. 

    "Harder." Ilya says, never stopping. "Sil'neye."

    Fuck. This one was a bit easier, at least. Shane's tongue seemed to know what to do with the sounds of it quicker.

    "Sil'neye." Shane breathes, holding Ilya's gaze. They suddenly gleam with satisfaction, or maybe adoration. Shane is obsessed with him, with this, with all of it.

    "Yes, good boy." Ilya praises.

    Or,
    Ilya has a bad day at work, so Shane comes up with a plan to take his mind off things. Ilya was not bluffing when he said he’d teach Shane his version of “important” words in Russian.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” Shane asks Ilya.

    “Svetlana set me up on a blind date,” he responds, doesn’t bother lying. Curious to see what his reaction will be. “What are you doing here?” He throws back.

    Shane’s eyebrows do something complicated. They’re interrupted by a knock on the door.

    “Babe? You okay in there? You’ve been in there for a while,” a voice comes through.

    “I’ll be right out, just washing my hands,” Shane responds stiffly. They hear footsteps walk away from the bathroom.

    “Babe?” Ilya repeats. Watches as Shane’s cheeks turn pink again.

    “That’s Jackson,” Shane states. “My boyfriend. It’s our one year anniversary.”

    “Ah.” Is all Ilya can say. Tries to smile, “Congratulations.”
