Summary
Advent fic, feat. Shane and Ilya during their first Christmas break together. Come back every day through December 25.
Sitting a few cushions away from Ilya on the couch, watching him eat dinner bent over the edge of the coffee table without having been asked to do so, Shane can't stop his brain from filtering through all the things he can do to make Christmastime special for Ilya, too.
And not just this year. He wants decades worth of Christmases with Ilya. Dozens and dozens of Yuletide memories.
"Hey."
Ilya turns away from the TV, fork centimeters from his lips, and says around a mouthful of fettuccine Alfredo, "Whad?"
Shane's ribs expand around his organs, a new sensation filling the space. Sharper, maybe, than the affection that's usually there. He wishes he could put words to it and share them with Ilya.
All he can come up with while Ilya waits expectantly for Shane's response is, "You wanna try some of this chicken parm?"
