    Summary

    It feels like a dam has broken inside of him.

    All he wants is pizza. A donut. A milkshake.

    If he can’t have Ilya - if Ilya doesn’t want him - maybe he can have pizza instead.

    It’s a stupid thought. A dangerous thought. But it won’t leave.

    Or, Shane doesn’t get injured in the game and Ilya breaks it off between them. Shane’s eating disorder spirals out of control as a result.

    Summary

    Ilya thinks that, if the gods really wanted to punish him, they should have sent him to his death alongside someone a bit harsher on the eyes.

    *

    Summary

    A fleeting comment: "You are so flexible, malysh, I am sure you could suck your own dick if you tried hard enough."

    An opportunity: "Marly just text asking if I want to hang out today."

    A deadline: "I will be home by nine."

    Three disparate thoughts from Ilya, mulled over in Shane's beautiful mind until they merge together into a challenge. And he has never been one to back down from a challenge.

    Summary

    “No vodka?” Rozanov asks, tsking in disapproval but looking amused. “What then? What does the great Shane Hollander want when he does a good job? What is your vice, Hollander?”

    “Hmmmm, mangoes,” Shane sighs out wistfully. It’s not a dangerous allergy for him, but it does mean being itchy and sometimes a little queasy for a couple of days after. Really he knows that he should probably avoid them altogether, but with every other restriction he has and with how controlled he is with his life even outside of that, it’s his one little indulgence, a pressure-relief valve of one bad choice to let some steam off at the end of a season, when he carves out time in his cottage when he can make his annual bad choice and enjoy a few days of wild mango madness before he makes himself buckle back into the restraints he usually keeps his life in.

    He looks up when he hears Rozanov snort.

    “Mangoes?” Rozanov repeats, tugging his shirt over his head. “Really?”

    “They’re good,” Shane defends. “Better than vodka,” he adds, pointedly.

    (shane has food allergies but makes an exception for mangoes) (5 times ilya didn't find out about this allergy and 1 time he did)
