    Summary

    “You want to talk to people about me?” Shane asked quietly.

    There was something small and confused in the question. But Ilya was still furious and raw.

    “Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”

    The second the words left his mouth, he watched the pain roll across Shane's features like a thousand fractures shattering through glass.

    Ilya had seen Shane nearly break ribs. He had seen him miss game-winning shots, take hits that left bruises blooming purple and black across his skin. He had never seen this.

    Shane closed his eyes for a long moment. He shook his head slightly, a tiny movement, then nodded once as if agreeing with something only he could hear. His face twisted briefly with a fresh wave of pain before he forced it to still.

    ---------

    What if Shane and Ilya don't make up so easily after the Boxing Day fight? The Centaur's plane never malfunctions, so Shane never proposes. Instead, Ilya gives him an ultimatum on coming out and going public. It backfires spectacularly.

    Summary

    SCOUTING REPORT - PIKE CHILDREN (ages 1-6)
    Threat Level: Spiritual
    Projected Outcome: Domestic devastation

    Ilya Rozanov shows up to Easter with homemade bread and a carton of hand-dyed eggs.
    Shane Hollander shows up with four painstakingly hand-curated Easter baskets.
    He agonized over the thread color. He's not going to talk about it.

    (Or: Hayden Pike puts on an inflatable bunny costume. It goes about as well as you'd expect.)
