All the ways Shane takes care of Ilya, famed caretaker, in episode six
- “I bought you cokes”
- carrying his bags in cuz ribs
- giving him space to talk about his mom without interruption then asking if he wanted to go inside after being scared by a loon again (and I’m assuming there was also an element of ilya possibly being cold) and taking his hand when he could finally grab it
- “that’s not what this is. you and me. maybe it was at first but … not now and not for a long time.”
- suggesting he marry for love not just a passport if that’s what he wants (THE IMPLICATIONS UGH)
- picking fluff off his face when he wakes him up (THIS KILLED ME DEAD)
- hugging the shit out of him as he cries on his chest
- bringing him coffee and a blanket to share while watching the sunrise
- foundation supporting mental health organizations but also an out, “it was just an idea”
- “say it again in Russian please”
- “you’re cold” but gonna kiss him anyway bc he wants it and bc he can
- the foot tap
- “we just want a future”
- “he’s trying to be loyal to me”
