    Summary

    He stared at her, and she felt like she’d been shoved under a spotlight, his focus honing in on all the vulnerability stitched into the fabric of her costume; all the subtext beneath her performance. This wasn’t what they had set out to be. They were meant to be light and breezy comedy show—not a deep, insightful Shakespeare soliloquy. And yet, Allie felt like Dean had picked her every sentence apart, and he was now holding the splinters of her sensitivity.

    (Five times Dean cared about Allie, and the one time she accepted that their “arrangement” wasn’t as casual as she’d thought).

    Summary

    One night, half-asleep, Shane says to Ilya, “You make everything easier to exist in.”

    The words slip out gently, unguarded, like something he’s carried a long time and finally lets fall.

    It steals the breath out of Ilya. He goes liquid against Shane and turns his head just enough to brush kisses along the line of his jaw.

    Shane drifts under like that, held there by the knowledge that love can be quiet and spacious, that it can move through him in a way that is kind to his nervous system.

    -

    Tenderness looks a thousand different ways. This is theirs.

    Summary

    No matter the trope.
    No matter the universe.
    No matter the setup.
    They find each other.

    “What if I am boyfriend?” Ilya asked through a mouthful of noodles.

    “Huh?” Shane paused his nibbling on a piece of eggplant. The black bean sauce was outstanding.

    “I can be the boyfriend,” Ilya said. “When is the wedding?”  

    “February fourteenth.” Shane cringed.

    “That is so…. What is word, cliche?” Ilya clarified. Shane confirmed with a nod. “Fine, I will have time off then.”

    “I-I can’t ask you to do that,” Shane stammered.

    “Is not a big deal, Hollander, you need fake boyfriend and I get a trip to, where was it, Kauai?” Ilya grinned. “It would be nice to take a week off and enjoy the sun.”

    Shane thought about it for a moment. Actually, having Ilya there could be fun. And it would definitely get his family and friends off his back about him settling down.

    “Only if it’s not too inconvenient,” Shane said, picking at the sauteed pea shoots on his plate.

    “It will be fine. I am a great boyfriend,” Ilya said.
