Shane stared miserably at his phone screen, trying not to tear up, trying not to think too much about Ilya’s arms, his lips, his smile.
What they had now, it was a million times better, and million times more than what they’d had before. They were so lucky.
But still…in times like these, he hated that they couldn’t be together whenever they wanted.
He sat in his parents’ living room, trying to breathe. Everything was okay. Yuna and David had just gotten in a small car accident that’d left them both beat up but absolutely fine–no broken bones or life-threatening injuries. Shane had just had to miss one game to pick them up at the hospital and bring them home. But he was shaken. He wanted Ilya’s comfort so badly, even though he knew it was impossible.
He looked at his phone screen again.
Shane: I miss you. I wish you were here.
Lily: I am so sorry, sonyshko. I want to be there too. I can call later? I am so glad they are okay.
Shane: Yeah, call when you can. Love you.
Lily: ♥
But Ilya had never called.
And Shane understood. Really, he did. Ilya was in the middle of a trip on the West Coast with his team and likely couldn’t call, it wasn’t intentional. But fuck, Shane just needed–
A knock on the door made him jump.
What the fuck? Why was someone at his parents’ house at…nearly midnight? Frowning, he hesitantly unlocked the door and opened it, to reveal–
Breath leaving his body, eyes nearly popping from his head, he launched himself into his boyfriend’s arms, not caring at all if there was anyone on the street to see them. He just needed Ilya’s warmth, his comfort, his love.
“Hi, malysh,” Ilya murmured into his hair.
Pulling back, Shane looked at him in amazement. “I–did you fly all the way here?” he demanded, still unsure if he was dreaming.
The taller man smirked, stepping inside. “No. I walked. Took a very long time, I started a week ago, ac–”
Shane smacked him lightly on the shoulder. “Don’t be an asshole,” he muttered. “You came all the way here. Why?”
Ilya just shrugged. “You needed me. So I come.”
The words sank into Shane’s skin, warming him.
Fuck, he loved this man so much.
