    Summary

    After coming out to Rose, Shane decides he doesn't want to lie anymore, even if he isn't sure coming out will mean he gets happily ever after with Ilya. When coming out to the Voyageurs leaves him wondering what his future in Montreal might look like, he lets himself be a little selfish, he lets himself wonder if there might be somewhere else he might be happy. If Montreal wants to get rid of a generational player, he's not about to stop them, especially if it means he can get a little closer to joy.

    --

    Or: Shane Hollander leaves Montreal in search of something better.

    Summary

    Ilya does not have time for this. It’s almost incredible, and frankly humiliating, how fast his anger has been extinguished by burning worry. Shane’s right, he should be furious. But that’s not Ilya’s priority, now. ‘’Hollander, are you listening, yes?’’, Ilya insists. He confusedly stares at his reflection on the window. When did he even got up from the couch? ‘’Where are you?’’, he repeats, stressing on every word with a careful pause.

    Shane seems intentioned to ignore Ilya’s bleeding questions like’s a sacred mission. Just to make his heart dry out from paranoia, probably. The silence is broken by a sniff, followed by a gulp. Shane sounds now far from the phone: 

    ‘’Rose. Rose, he’s mad’’, he moans in a strangled whisper. 

    Ilya’s body freezes. 

     

    Or, Shane and Rose break up, and they’re up to celebrations. Rose decides it’s time for Shane to distract himself for a night. It absolutely doesn’t go as planned.

    Summary

    When she talks to him and smiles at him and laughs at his hesitant jokes, he forgets that he’s just himself. He makes believe for a little while that he could be someone to her. Her nearness conjures candlelight and a white tablecloth and her in a dress with her hair down and one dessert with two forks.

    It’s pointless to dream, he knows. He’ll leave that to a different Ben, in another life.

    ----------

    What if, in the seconds before you die, you were allowed to know everyone who was secretly in love with you?
