1x01. **folds clothes neatly**

the “i don’t know that side of you at all” line is so underappreciated because it’s really the first time ilya has revealed an insecurity to shane, something so ingrained in him by his father that he wears it like a second skin, and he positions it as a light-hearted joke but shane doesn’t get why he would say that about himself. shane meets him head-on, so earnest and sweet: i don’t know that side of you at all. i only know that you have put in relentless work to hone your craft and dominate your career. i pour everything into this sport and you’re the only one who can keep up—how could you be lazy. i made you pursue me for two years before we had sex and you never stopped. you could have anyone; you put in the work for me. every time we fuck you give and give and give. you’ve learned my body and figured out what i need because i never let myself. i don’t know that side of you at all.

this specific frame is so important to me like … they were boys together lowkey …

yeah actually shane and ilya touching feet just ruined my whole day. i cannot stomach the intimacy of being under glaring lights and cameras and reporters who don't speak your language and seeking the tiniest bit of comfort in touching shoes with a boy who has no reason at all to help you but is, and instead of moving away, that boy presses his entire foot to yours.

then nearly a decade later under the shocked and incredulous eyes of your parents, their idea of you exploding in real time as you sit with them at the table beside your supposed enemy to confess your love for him, you silently seek comfort under the table the same way he did all those years ago........and his foot finds yours first.

"Ilya gave in and reached for him. As soon as he had Shane in his arms, he was done for. He leaned forward and took his mouth. It felt different this time, as he wrapped his arms around Shane’s back and pulled him close against his body. Shane’s hands cradled Ilya’s face as he kissed him with the force of everything they had almost said out loud."

(Heated Rivalry, chapter seventeen)
