As much as I love jealous!ilya I am actually more intrigued by jealous!shane and I’ve read a couple fics where Shane stakes his claim and whatnot (and I LOVED THEM) however I love even more to think about how Shane is basically used to being jealous like he fucked a total of what? Three other people?? Before and during Ilya and obviously the only one that was public knowledge was rose. But Ilya? Ilya had girls in every city he had regular girls and one night girls all plastered all over the internet the entire timeline of his and Shane’s situationship. I like to imagine Shane of the early years was kept up late at night tears welling up but not escaping his eyes because “it would be stupid to cry over someone who regards you as a casual fuck, Hollander” and “you should consider yourself lucky to still be on the roster” these thoughts and the shame of his jealousy plague him so much that by the time he and Ilya are monogamous and committed and in love he is so used to just repressing that insecurity and jealousy so that it appears that it doesn’t effect him. And Ilya wants Shane to stake his claim on him sooooo bad. He wants Shane to be jealous and just as possessive as himself and it makes him so insecure that he’s not so he goes out of his way to try and make Shane jealous by mentioning old girls. And none of this works and he is so frustrated so he pulls out the big guns and uses svetlana to try and finally make Shane jealous enough but what he doesn’t expect is for Shane to just burst into tears years and years of shame and insecurity all bubbling over at once and at this point he’s never seen Shane cry like this and eventually he calms him down and they talk and reassurance happens on both ends “I love you so much I don’t want anyone but you I just want to know that you want me enough to claim me” and “I love you more I want you all to myself I’ve just gotten so used to repressing myself” and happily ever after the end
Svetlana finds out about Ilya using her name to make Shane jealous and beats his ass
