Summary
This thing that they have—whatever the hell it is—it’s good. It’s easy. It feels like the only thing keeping Ilya afloat sometimes.
He can’t let it get to a place where it’s more than just a good, convenient fuck and some fun teasing in between. Even if sometimes, in brief moments of tenderness, it already feels like it’s more than that. Or at least like it’s something that can be, if they just let it.
But they don’t. They can’t.
Although sometimes, Ilya does find himself giving in to the urge to look at Shane just a little bit longer, to let his touch be just a little bit gentler, more reverent, than what it would be for something as casual as they claim this to be—albeit sparingly.
Sometimes, just for a moment, he lets himself indulge. He lets some of that affection bleed out of him because he feels like he’ll implode if he doesn’t.
But he always catches himself before it can linger.

Summary
“Ilya, you don’t actually want to watch these, I promise. They’re just boring old kiddy games.”
Ilya blinks. “Shane. Are you trying to tell me that I will not like something because it is ‘boring’? I think we have plenty of evidence that this is simply not true, no?”
Shane fixes him with his most withering glare. “Well, if I’m calling something boring, imagine how boring it actually is.”
“I know you are trying to trick me, Hollander,” Ilya states, raising a single brow. “But you will not deny me my right as your husband to see baby Shane in his tiny little skates.”
Or: Shane and Ilya watch some of Shane’s old home movies. It leads to a few revelations.

Summary
"“I found a little spot while I was waiting around yesterday. It's where I set up my camp. It's a little ways off from the main area. More trees. More privacy.”
“I will follow you anywhere so long as you suck my dick when we get there,” Ilya answers honestly.
Normally he'd be embarrassed to be so open with a near-stranger. He's a forthcoming guy but he often likes to play coy, the chase being a thrilling part of foreplay.
But something about being on the trail like this, the easy and casual nature between them, it just feels pointless to play games.
They're both just two men who find each other hot and are on similar adventures with nothing to lose."
Or, Shane decides he's tired of not feeling in control of his own life, and after college graduation he makes the bold decision to hike as much as he can of the Pacific Crest Trail in 3 months on his own. Ilya Rozanov also just graduated college and feels aimless, so he and his friend Cliff decide to hike the entire PCT together. Shane and Ilya meet on the trail. No slow burn here!
