    Summary

    It was a Friday when the video dropped.

    “What is happening?” He asked St Simon, who was holding his phone tight to his chest, his expression odd. “Someone has died?” 

    Across the room he could see Marlow moving slowly upright from where he had been doing floor stretches, his phone in his hand as well, his face pinched. 

    “It’s Hollander,” St Simon said. 

    The bottom of Ilya’s stomach fell out, closely followed by the rest of Ilya’s organs. His chest hurt so acutely that he thought he must be having a heart attack. 

    “Not dead,” St Simon added quickly, reaching out to grab Ilya’s shoulder when Ilya’s knees actually buckled. “Jesus, sorry. I should have - no it’s just -” 

    “Someone tell me what the fuck is going on,” Ilya snapped, “and everyone else shut up.” 

    Marlow reached him now, held his phone out to Ilya, open already to an article with a headline huge enough Ilya could easily make out the HOLLANDER blaring out of it even before his eyes focused and he took the phone from Marlow. 

    A video is posted online, for Shane it feels like a death sentence. For some parts of him, it is.

    Summary

    "We need to discuss your heat," the omega specialist at the clinic told Shane.

    Shane groaned to himself; he didn't want to be here. The medical building smelled so sterile that it burned his nose. He just needed a refill on his suppressant prescription.

    "It's fine to just have a big one in the off-season rather then a few smaller heats a year, right?"

    "Yes, but yours are getting too long. Your last heat lasted almost two weeks and you lost 20 pounds. That's a dangerous amount, especially for a professional athlete." The doctor didn't even look at Shane as she read through her notes. "Do you have an alpha partner that you take your heats with?"

    Summary

    Ilya swallows. He wonders if Shane meant the word 'relax' the way Ilya was thinking about, in secret. Relax, like sex, but also—like the after part of sex that they would do sometimes. The laying down on the bed with hands tangled together while they both caught their breath. Ilya thought that maybe at the cottage he could try to have more of the after sex parts. Maybe Shane and him could lay together even longer, or maybe Shane would be okay if he curled into him a bit more, maybe even tucking himself under Shane's chin, his head on his chest. And maybe they can have some of the after part all by itself, no sex surrounding it, just him and Shane laying together. Or even just sitting together, if laying is too much.

    ***

    Ilya attempts to navigate non-sexual intimacy with Shane during their first week at the cottage and it's—fine. It's easy. Why does he keep hearing Shostakovich.
