Shane and Ilya on a little beach trip in a vacation town. They’re staying right on the boardwalk so they wind up walking everywhere. Ilya goes to one of those t-shirt shops & buys himself one that says “I’m not gay but my boyfriend is” & Shane one that says “I’m so gay I can’t even think straight.” Shane tells Ilya he’s going to get them the big prize at the arcade but they wind up with only 4,000 tickets (mostly won because Shane is weirdly good at those claw machines with rolled up tickets in them). They wind up with a magnetic dart board & matching rubber bracelets that Ilya insists are their friendship bracelets & that they can never, ever take them off. Shane privately thinks it’s ridiculous that Ilya is placing this much value on a 25 cent bracelet rather than the solid gold wedding bands on his finger but he’s not complaining. They’re tipping well everywhere they can just because they can. Ilya gets a stomach ache from the amount of ice cream he eats. Shane gets a severe leg cramp from how intensely he’s swimming even in rough waters. The salt air makes Ilya’s curls go even tighter & the summer sun has Shane’s freckles darkening & they’re so married & so in love. & of course they fuck in every room of their Airbnb what kind of lovebirds do you think they are.
#this played in my head like a movie #ilya makes then take one of those old fashioned photo booth strips where the first picture is ilya kissing shane’s cheek and by the fourth they’re laughing too hard to look at the camera #they spend way too long watching the waves because ilya keeps pointing out dogs running on the beach
